4. Assessment of Covariance Selection Methods in High-Dimensional Gaussian Graphical Models
ABSTRACT The covariance selection in Gaussian graphical models consists in selecting, based on a sample of a multivariate normal vector, all those pairs of variables that are conditionally dependent given the remaining variables. This problem is equivalent to estimate the graph identifying the nonzero elements on the off-diagonal entries of the precision mat

8. HIV-positive patients presenting with peripheral blood cytopenias: is bone marrow assessment a priority?
ABSTRACT Introduction: Hematologic abnormalities are frequent among persons living with HIV (PLWH). The bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and biopsy (BMB) are commonly performed in the diagnostic approach of patients with unexplained cytopenias. Changes in antiretrovirals, supportive therapy and increased life expectancy have modified the distribution and etiology

9. Evaluation of the complete Sniffin Sticks Test versus its subtests in differentiating Parkinson’s disease patients from healthy controls
Resumo Antecendentes Hiposmia é um dos sintomas mais comuns da doença de Parkinson (DP), além de ser um de seus primeiros sintomas não-motores. O Sniffin Sticks Test avalia três diferentes aspectos da função olfatória: limiar (L), discriminação (D) e identificação (I). A soma dos escores desses três subtestes produz um escore global do olfato,
