WHEN PREDICTIONS ARE USED TO ALLOCATE SCARCE HEALTH CARE RESOURCES: THREE CONSIDERATIONS FOR MODELS IN THE ERA OF COVID-19

When predictions are used to allocate scarce health care resources: three considerations for models in the era of Covid-19

Abstract Background The need for life-saving interventions such as mechanical ventilation may threaten to outstrip resources during the Covid-19 pandemic.Allocation of these resources to those most likely to benefit can be supported by clinical prediction models.The ethical and practical considerations relevant to predictions supporting decisions a

Birbeck granule-like "organized smooth endoplasmic reticulum" resulting from the expression of a cytoplasmic YFP-tagged langerin.

Langerin is required for the biogenesis of Birbeck granules (BGs), the characteristic organelles of Langerhans cells.We previously used a Langerin-YFP fusion protein having a C-terminal click here luminal YFP tag to dynamically decipher the molecular and cellular processes which accompany the traffic of Langerin.In order to elucidate the interactio
