statistical methods that distinguish between attributes of assessment: prolongation of life versus quality of life.	the authors propose a method to generate information relevant to the decision tree that adds additional perspective to the characterization of health quality during survival. their approach uses survival data to distinguish two attributes of utility: prolongation of life and quality of life (qol). health-state transition probabilities correspond to the prolongation of life and are modeled in a discrete-time transient semi-markov process. quality-of-life-state transition probabilities are derived ...	2003	1573984
fraction of s-phase cells in blood mononuclear cells in non-hodgkin's lymphomas--correlation with clinical features and prognosis.	a consecutive material of 111 untreated patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma was studied with respect to fraction of s-phase cells in blood mononuclear cells in relation to presence of monoclonal b cells in blood (mbcb). fraction of s-phase cells was determined by flow cytometry and estimation of mbcb was performed by kappa:lambda analysis. the fraction of s-phase cells was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) in mbcb-positive cases (median 1.2%) than in the mbcb-negative (median 0.7%). mbcb ...	2005	2785930

characterization of serum and urinary bile acids in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry: effect of ursodeoxycholic acid treatment.	we have studied the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid on the serum and urinary bile acids in seven patients with moderate to severe primary biliary cirrhosis. bile acids were characterized by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and quantified by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. serum bile acids were elevated 26-fold over control values, with 2.2 times more cholic acid than chenodeoxycholic acid. urinary bile acid output was elevated 22-fold over control values with a cholic acid:chenode ...	2008	2621422
the concept of mental illness.	in recent years it has often been suggested that there is no such thing as mental illness. in naive cartesianism this assertion starts out from the assumption that illness may develop solely from physical causes. before clarifying what mental illness is, we should ask what is understood by the general notion of 'illness'. a constituent of the general disease concept is an unvoluntary and sufficiently serious disturbance of vital functions that needs to be defined in detail-and not just any regio ...	2008	2695924
