Sirera Pérez, Rafael (Elsevier, 2011-07)

[EN] Background: Platinum doublets are standard chemotherapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to assess whether neutropenia is: (1) an indicator for treatment efficacy, or (2) ...
Circulating DNA is a useful prognostic factor in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Sirera Pérez, Rafael; Bremnes, Roy M.; Cabrera, Andrea; Jantus Lewintre, Eloisa; Sanmartin, Elena; Blasco, Ana; del Pozo, Nieves; Rosell, Rafael; Guijarro, Ricardo; Galbis, Jose; Sanchez, Jose Javier; Camps, Carlos (Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2011-02)

Background: Circulating DNA is observed at higher concentrations in patients with lung cancer than in controls. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of circulating DNA is a promising noninvasive tool. Our aim was to ...
Classification of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation in ambulatory ECG recordings

Alcaraz, Raúl; Sandberg, Frida; Sornmo, Leif; Rieta Ibañez, José Joaquín (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-05)

The problem of classifying short atrial fibrillatory segments in ambulatory ECG recordings as being either paroxysmal or persistent is addressed by investigating a robust approach to signal characterization. The method ...
