Concordance between two monoclonal antibody-based antigen detection enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for measuring cysticercal antigen levels in sera from pigs experimentally infected with Taenia solium and Taenia hydatigena Institute of Tropical Medicine
Background
Antigen detection in Taenia solium cysticercosis confirms viable infection in the intermediate host (either pig or human). The reference B158/B60 monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based Ag-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has acceptable levels of sensitivity and specificity in human neurocysticercosis with multiple brain cysts, although its sensitivity is lower in cases with single brain cysts, whereas in porcine cysticercosis ...

Concordance, correlation, and clinical impact of standardized PD-L1 and TIL scoring in SCCHN Ghent University
Background: The clinical significance of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression has been thoroughly researched in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). To address the impact of intra- and intertumoral heterogeneity in these biomarkers, we explored the concordance of PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) and stromal TILs in different paired tissue sample types, while evaluating ...
Measures for concordance and discordance with applications in disease control and prevention Hasselt University KU Leuven University of Antwerp
Bivariate binary response data appear in many applications. Interest goes most often to a parameterization of the joint probabilities in terms of the marginal success probabilities in combination with a measure for association, most often being the odds ratio. Using, for example, the bivariate Dale model, these parameters can be modelled as function of covariates. But the odds ratio and other measures for association are not always measuring the ...
Dichotomous histopathological assessment of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast results in substantial interobserver concordance Ghent University University of Antwerp KU Leuven
Limitations of the negative concordance pattern in the diagnosis of broad QRS tachycardia Ghent University
CONCORDANCE BETWEEN SELF-REPORT AND PERFORMANCE-BASED MANUAL ABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC STROKE USING THE ABILHAND-STROKE QUESTIONNAIRE: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY Hasselt University
Benin questionnaire is reliable as self-report administration procedure to measure manual ability in everyday activities in people with chronic stroke. Background and Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the external and internal compatibility of the Biometrics E-LINK EP9 evaluation system device in the area of hand grip and pinch strength in the Polish population. Methods: The testing of hand grip and pinch strength was carried out among ...

Fast thresholded concordance probability for evolutionary optimization Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre KU Leuven University of Antwerp
The concordance probability is an extension of the popular area under the curve (AUC) which is commonly used to measure the accuracy of a predictive model. It can be extended to the thresholded and weighted concordance probability which are more appropriate for some applications. The naive way of estimating this measure requires a quadratic computation time, which is prohibitive for large data sets. We propose a new algorithm that computes the ...
Concordance in salivary cortisol and subjective anxiety to the trier social stress test in social anxiety disorder KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterised by an excessive fear of negative social evaluation. There is a limited understanding of how individuals with SAD react physiologically and subjectively to social stress. METHOD: The Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), an acute social stress task, was completed by 40 SAD individuals (50% female) and 41 healthy controls (matched on age, sex, and education) to examine salivary cortisol and ...
