DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.12.022
Abstract: Development of organisms that live on contaminated soils depends on toxicity as well as several physical and chemical soil properties. We aimed to identify plant bioassays most responsive to contaminants and not to confounding factors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/mis.2020.3046431
Abstract: Diagnosing foot complaints using plantar pressure videos is complicated by the presence of confounding factors (e.g., age, weight). Outlier detection could help with diagnosis, but these confounding factors result in data that are not independent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aogs.13365
Abstract: I read with great interest the article by Kreuninger et al. in a recent issue of the journal (1). The authors performed a retrospective study on 3,981 hysterectomy cases and concluded that the laparoscopic approach to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/bcp.13769
Abstract: Lots of factors can influence CYP2E1 activities, e.g. thyroid status, different types of anaemia (fanconi anaemia and sideroblastic anaemia), etc. Alcohol is a known inducer of CYP2E1, therefore a justifiable duration of abstinence is required… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.00307-22
Abstract: Determining the precise limits of life in polyextreme environments is challenging. Confounding factors such as exogenous contamination and the abiotic formation of structures resembling cells need to be considered before concluding on the unambiguous development… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/boe.473534
Abstract: Scheimpflug-based corneal densitometry is a clinically verified method for assessing corneal transparency. Nevertheless, the estimates of corneal densitometry appear to be correlated with age and eye biometry parameters, such as the anterior chamber depth or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010184
Abstract: Confounding factors exist widely in various biological data owing to technical variations, population structures and experimental conditions. Such factors may mask the true signals and lead to spurious associations in the respective biological data, making… read more here.
