變異數分析（ANOVA）是一種統計公式，用於比較不同組的均值（或平均值）之間的變異。一系列方案可用來確定不同組的均值之間是否存在差異。ANOVA的結果是「F統計量」。該比率顯示了組內變異與組間變異，最終產生了一個數字，該數字可以得出支持或拒絕原假設的結論。如果組之間存在顯著差異，則不支持虛無假設，並且F比率會更大。ANOVA如果顯示處理之間有顯著差異，則必須採用事後比較檢定（Post hoc tests）用以測試處理組與對照組是否有顯著差異。這種統計技術稱為多重比較檢定（MCA:Multiple Comparison Analysis testing）。本書的特徵有以下四項：1. 只要看數據類型，統計處理方法一清二楚。2. 利用圖解，數據的輸入與其步驟清晰明確。3. 利用圖解，統計處理的方法與其步驟一目了然。4. 輸出結果的判讀方法簡明易懂。

From two former military officers and award-winning authors, a chillingly authentic, geopolitical thriller that imagines a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea in 2034--and the path from there to a nightmarish global conflagration. On March 12, 2034, US Navy Commodore Sarah Hunt is on the bridge of her flagship, the guided missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones, conducting a routine freedom of navigation patrol in the South China Sea when her ship detects an unflagged trawler in clear distress, smoke billowing from its bridge. On that same day, US Marine aviator Major Chris Wedge Mitchell is flying an F35E Lightning over the Strait of Hormuz, testing a new stealth technology as he flirts with Iranian airspace. By the end of that day, Wedge will be an Iranian prisoner, and Sarah Hunt's destroyer will lie at the bottom of the sea, sunk by the Chinese Navy. Iran and China have clearly coordinated their moves, which involve the use of powerful new forms of cyber weapo

For many people, having a large family isn’t a reasonable option. Fortunately, medical science has ushered in a new era of family balancing where couples can determine their baby's gender. The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection guides prospective parents step-by-step through the maze of options currently available — from the unpredictable (and now outdated) timing method, to highly effective sperm sorting, to the preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which guarantees accuracy.The author describes the most advanced methodologies in simple lay terms so that they are easily understood. But The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection does more than explain how the technology works — it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or in vitro fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease

引言 2016年衛生福利部推出「醫病共享決策平台」，積極推廣醫病共享決策（Shared Decision Making；簡稱 SDM），目的是讓醫療人員和病人在進行醫療決策前，能夠透過醫病的相互尊重與溝通，共同享有現有的實證醫學成果，造福患者。SDM推出後，各醫院踴躍配合執行，已取得具體成果，提升了臨床診療品質。SDM是以病人為中心的臨床醫療執行過程，兼具知識、溝通和尊重三大元素。透過促進醫師和病人雙方共同參與，由醫師提出各種不同處置之實證資料，病人則提出個人的喜好與價值觀，彼此交換資訊討論，共同達成最佳可行之治療選項。SDM的落實，除了以病人為中心，以實證醫學為依據，還必須推動明智選擇 (Choosing Wisely)。欠缺明智選擇的SDM，有美中不足之感。「明智選擇」(Choosing Wisely)是美國內科醫學委員會(The American Board of Internal Medicine, ABIM) 2012年發起的一項跨專業運動，目的是找出各個專業領域對於患者，尤其是無症狀民眾，沒有必要甚至可能是有害的檢驗、檢查、手術或治療的清單。每個專業領域通常列出了5項或10項被過度使用的檢驗、檢查或治療。這些專業學會每年會審查和更新清單，確保其反映最佳的實證醫學證據。近幾年來，SDM偏重在臨床處置，相對忽略了檢驗項目的明智選擇 (choosing Wisely)。為了使SDM更趨完善，台灣醫學實驗室管理學會特蒐集相關文獻，並參考多個國家的Choosing Wisely建議，例如美國ASCP-Choosing Wisely、澳洲、加拿大和英國Choosing Wisely的建議，編著本書有關檢驗項目使用管理 (Laboratory stewardship)之Choosing Wisely建議供醫病雙方參考。期望醫病雙方在溝通和選擇檢驗項目時，彼此能有正確的認知與共識。並做為諮詢醫檢師的培訓教材。本書內容是遵循國際上Choosing wisely（明智選擇）的精神和共識，聚焦於不該做的檢查。所有不該做的檢查肇因於不適當的檢驗申請 (inappropriate testing order)，不適當的檢驗申請包括濫用(misuse)、過度使用(overuse)、未充分使用 (underuse)和不當的複檢 (inappropriate retesti
