Insights Into Breast Cancer Screening: A Computer Simulation of Two Contemporary Screening Strategies.

OBJECTIVE: The debate over the value of screening mammography is rekindled with each new published study or guideline. Central to the discussion are the uncertainties about screening benefits and harms and the criteria used to assess them. Today, the…

Solutions to the problem of bacterial resistance.

The recent increase in bacterial resistance has been, and continues to be, unmatched by drug discovery and development. The judicious use of antibacterials must be observed so as to contain bacterial resistance and maintain the utility of agents…
