Validation of [13C]urea breath test for Helicobacter pylori using a simple gas chromatograph-mass selective detector.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most serious health problems worldwide and thus it is important to assess health and economic impacts of preventative CRC screening strategies. METHODS:For this reason, a theoretical model based on Markov chains is proposed to compare these strategies: fecal occult bl...
