Everybody lies: how Google search reveals our darkest secrets
What can we learn about ourselves from the things we ask online? US data scientist Seth Stephens ‑Davidowitz analysed anonymous Google search results, uncovering disturbing truths about our desires, beliefs and prejudicesEverybody lies. People lie about how many drinks they had on the way home. They lie about how often they go to the gym, how much those new shoes cost, whether they read that book. They call in sick when they ’re not. They say they’ll be in touch when they won’t. They say it’s not about you when it is. They say they love you when they don’t. They say they’re happy while in the dumps. They say ...

Obesity, risk of biochemical recurrence, and prostate ‐specific antigen doubling time after radical prostatectomy: results from the SEARCH database
ConclusionWhile we confirmed that higher BMI was associated with BCR, we found no link between BMI and PSADT at the time of recurrence. Our data suggest obese men do not have more aggressive recurrences. Future studies are needed to test whether obesity predicts response to salvage therapies.

Authorship Order in Medical Education Publications: In Search of Practical Guidance for the Community.
This study describes principles commonly applied to authorship order decisions within the medical education community and educators' opinions about the significance of authorship order. Approach: A questionnaire was developed to ascertain current practices related to authorship decisions. Sixteen items were rated in terms of frequency of actual use and the desirability of the practice using a 4-point rating scale: 1 (never), 2 (sometimes), 3 (often), and 4 (always). Additional questions addressed the perceived significance of authorship order. The last set of questions provided information about respondents' personal and c...

Planting Trees, Search Engines, and Climate Change
Written by César Palacios-González The other day I went down an internet rabbit hole when researching about planting trees and climate change. I came out the other side concluding (among other things) that there were good reasons to change my search engine to Ecosia[1]. So I did, and, other things being equal, you should too. […]

Effective Job Search Strategies to Consider
Before you begin a job search, you need to think through the question, “What’s your strategy as an executive job seeker?” There’s no right or wrong answer to the question, and sometimes it takes trial and error to truly figure out what the most effective strategy is for you. Even then, adjustments must be made […]

Finding the best-fit background function for whole-powder-pattern fitting using LASSO combined with tree search
A new linear function for modelling the background in whole-powder-pattern fitting has been derived by applying LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) and the technique of tree search. The background function (BGF) consists of terms bnL(2 θ /180) − n/2   and bnH(1   −   2 θ /180) − n/2 for the low- and high-angle sides, respectively. Some variable parameters of the BGF should be fixed at zero while others should be varied in order to find the best fit for a given data set without inducing overfitting. The LASSO algorithm can automatically select the variables in linear regression analysis. Ho...

What is the current best RSS reader?
After it was announced that Google Reader will be shut down in July, some of my Twitter buddies asked me what I plan to use in the future as a RSS reader. I have already switched to RSS Owl. Pros: - faster and more powerful than Google Reader - portable program that does not require installation (choose the version labeled "rssowl-2.1.6.windows.zip"). You can take it on a USB drive if you wish. - keyboard shortcuts - you can either customize the existing shortcuts or create new ones - social media sharing integration (Buffer, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) - Easy export and import of your RSS subscriptions as an OPML file - o...

Systematic literature review of burden of illness in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
ConclusionsThis first systematic review of CIDP burden of illness demonstrates the high physical and psychosocial burden of this rare disease. Future research is required to fully characterise the burden of CIDP, and to understand how appropriate treatment can mitigate burden for patients and healthcare systems.

Search For Autoantibodies Targeting The Nodes Of Ranvier In Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) (P1.028)
Conclusion: Contactin-2 and Cx32, which is responsible for a genetic demyelinating neuropathy, are not autoantibody targets in aquired autoimmune demyelinating neuropathies. Reactivity to other nodal, paranodal or juxtaparanodal antigens is currently explored.Study Supported by: Special Research Account, University of AthensDisclosure: Dr. Stathopoulos has nothing to disclose.

Immunomodulatory treatment other than corticosteroids, immunoglobulin and plasma exchange for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
CONCLUSIONS: Low-quality evidence from randomised trials does not show significant benefit from azathioprine or interferon beta-1a and moderate-quality evidence from one randomised trial does not show significant benefit from a relatively low dose of methotrexate for the treatment of CIDP. None of the trials was large enough to rule out small or moderate benefit. The evidence from observational studies is insufficient to avoid the need for randomised controlled trials to discover whether these drugs are beneficial. Future trials should have improved designs, more sensitive outcome measures relevant to people with CIDP, and...

Intravenous immunoglobulin for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence from RCTs shows that IVIg improves disability for at least two to six weeks compared with placebo, with an NNTB of three. During this period it has similar efficacy to plasma exchange, oral prednisolone and intravenous methylprednisolone. In one large trial, the benefit of IVIg persisted for 24 and possibly 48 weeks. Further research is needed to compare the long-term benefits as well as side effects of IVIg with other treatments. PMID: 24379104 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Monitoring intravenous immunoglobulin dosing regimens in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy: search for a biomarker
The clinical effectiveness and relative ease of administering intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) make it the preferred treatment option for several immune mediated conditions including chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Timing and dosage of IVIG vary considerably in CIDP between patients. The cost implications for establishing sensitive and reliable biomarkers, which accurately predict IVIG dosing regimens and avoid overtreatment are therefore considerable and warrant investigation. In this issue, Kuitwaard and colleagues examine the variability of serum IgG levels in patients receiving IVIG for treat...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy: search for factors associated with treatment dependence or successful withdrawal
Conclusions When compared with the treatment withdrawal group, the treatment-dependent group was more frequently responsive to IVIG, more frequently resistant to corticosteroids in first-line treatment, had a longer delay to effective treatment and was more likely to present a multifocal deficit. The rate of successful withdrawal seems to be higher with corticosteroids, but a prospective study with a long-term follow-up is needed to confirm these features.

Plasma exchange for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate- to high-quality evidence from two small trials shows that plasma exchange provides significant short-term improvement in disability, clinical impairment, and motor nerve conduction velocity in CIDP but rapid deterioration may occur afterwards. Adverse events related to difficulty with venous access, use of citrate, and haemodynamic changes are not uncommon. We need more research to identify agents that will prolong the beneficial action of plasma exchange. PMID: 26305459 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy of long-term prednisone therapy in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP): a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: CIDP patients treated with prednisone have good long-term functional clinical response. Delay in diagnosis and atypical variant are common clinical characteristics for poor functional clinical response in treatment with prednisone.PMID:34617581 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7308.2021261
