Asked if she thought that physicians would be likely to adopt more conservative screening and treatment strategies, Dr Etzioni pointed to a growing trend ― the use of active surveillance for men with low-risk prostate cancer.

jon, for the purpose of this discussion, in relation to this argument, the crime of rape is allegorical. in both the attacks you referenced, one in ’78 the other’79, both from roughly 4 decades ago, as well as the killing of the illegal settler rabbi more recently, allegorically speaking, the perpetrators of all those attacks are the victims of rape. wheras, their attacks were not morally equivalent to rape. only if one strips the context away from decades occupation, ethnic cleansing, the consequence of violent colonization (all the morally equivalent to rape), could one formulated a question such as yours — which posits colonizers as civilians. allegorically, it doesn’t work.

Three men eligible for PSA screening were full panel members. They identified important outcomes and led the discussion on values and preferences. They fully participated in the teleconferences and email discussions on the evidence and the recommendation. They also contributed to the identification of practical issues related to the decision to undergo PSA screening, and met all authorship criteria for the present article.

In other words, you need to be consistent: if the ratio of “lives saved” is based on the treatment group compared to the control group, the ratio of “harms” needs to be based on the same metric. The USPSTF does not appear to have done so.

C57BL/6, LMP7−/−, LMP2−/−, and MECL-1−/− mice were i.v. infected with 1 × 105 CFU live C. albicans blastoconidia and treated with vehicle or 10 mg/kg ONX 0914 (s.c.) every second day where indicated (B,C). (A,C) Change of body weight during systemic infection with C. albicans. Percent weight loss (y-axis) is plotted versus time (x-axis). Data points represent mean weight change +/− SEM. (B) Survival curves of ONX 0914 and vehicle treated mice. Data represent combined results from 2–3 experiments with n = 8–18 mice per group. Data are analyzed by two-way ANOVA with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.

Thank you Avigail. But I wasn’t sarcastic at all. I was just decontextualizing a hypocrite’s words.
