Richard M. Friedenberg: The Doctor Is Not In: It’s Time for a Change
We have taken a major step from indemnity care to managed care, but we need to take the next step from managed care to universal care with a single-payer system.

Statistical Concepts Series:

Nancy A. Obuchowski: Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves and Their Use in Radiology
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve has many advantages as a measure of the accuracy of a diagnostic test: (a) It includes all possible cut points, (b) it shows the relationship between the sensitivity of a test and its specificity, (c) it is not affected by the prevalence of disease, and (d) from it we can compute several useful summary measures of test accuracy (eg, ROC curve area, partial area).

Opinions:

John R. Cameron: Longevity Is the Most Appropriate Measure of Health Effects of Radiation
I believe that longevity is a better measure of the health effects of radiation than is cancer mortality.

Louis K. Wagner: The "Healthy Worker Effect": Science or Prejudice?
Although Dr Cameron suggests that there is a nullifying effect from health benefits of radiation exposure, this remains an unproven hypothesis and does not justify any alteration in our code of practice.

Eric J. Hall and David J. Brenner: The Weight of Evidence Does Not Support the Suggestion that Exposure to Low Doses of X Rays Increases Longevity
It is important to look carefully at all the available evidence before reaching a measured conclusion; when this is done, we conclude there is little credible evidence that a low dose of x rays increases longevity.
