On Basic Iteration Schemes for Nonlinear AFC Discretizations

open access: yes, 2020
Algebraic flux correction (AFC) finite element discretizations of steady-state convection-diffusion-reaction equations lead to a nonlinear problem. This paper presents first steps of a systematic study of solvers for these problems. Two basic fixed point

Adverse outcomes between VMAT2 and anticholinergics in tardive dyskinesia: A target trial emulation

open access: yesPsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Aim Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD), whereas anticholinergic agents are still widely used for this condition. This study aimed to compare the risk of major clinical adverse outcomes among patients with TD treated with VMAT2 inhibitors versus anticholinergic agents ...
