A Two-Stage Estimation Approach to Cox Regression Under the Five-Parameter Spline Model
MathematicsThe Cox proportional hazards model is one of the most popular regression models for censored survival data. In the Cox model, the baseline hazard function is often modeled by cubic spline functions.

Epilepsy‐Associated Variants of a Single SCN1A Codon Exhibit Divergent Functional Properties
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in SCN1A, which encodes the voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.1, are associated with multiple epilepsy syndromes exhibiting a range of clinical severity. SCN1A variants are reported in different syndromes, including Dravet syndrome, which is associated with loss‐of‐function, whereas neonatal/infantile‐onset ...

High Health Care Utilization Preceding Diagnosis With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although early diagnosis improves long‐term outcomes, patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often experience prolonged, circuitous paths to diagnosis. To inform diagnostic improvement, we sought to characterize health care utilization in the year preceding diagnosis. Methods We identified 10,021 patients with an incident diagnosis

Creep Properties and Deformation Mechanism of Additively Manufactured NiAl‐CrMo Composites
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Additively manufactured NiAl‐CrMo composites contain numerous interfaces and cell boundaries that control their creep response. At 700°C under high applied stress, creep is dominated by dislocation‐controlled power‐law mechanisms. At 800°C–900°C and lower stresses, creep is primarily diffusion‐controlled along cell boundaries.
