Impact of Sampling Strategy and Population Model on Bayesian Estimates of Vancomycin AUC in Patients with BMI > 40 kg/m²: A Single-Center Retrospective Study

Medicines
Background/Objectives: Growing evidence supports the use of a single trough concentration, rather than both a peak and trough, to estimate the 24 h area under the curve (AUC24) of vancomycin using Bayesian software (InsightRx® Ver.1.71).

Quantification of thermal dose in moderate clinical hyperthermia with radiotherapy: a relook using temperature–time area under the curve (AUC)

International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2021
Background Thermal dose in clinical hyperthermia reported as cumulative equivalent minutes (CEM) at 43 °C (CEM43) and its variants are based on direct thermal cytotoxicity assuming Arrhenius ‘break’ at 43 °C.

Reliability of Systematic and Targeted Biopsies versus Prostatectomy

Bioengineering, 2023
Systematic Biopsy (SBx) has been and continues to be the standard staple for detecting prostate cancer. The more expensive MRI guided biopsy (MRITBx) is a better way of detecting cancer. The prostatectomy can provide an accurate condition of the prostate.

Receiver operating characteristic curve

Current Medicine Research and Practice, 2012
A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a plot of tradeoff between sensitivity and specificity. It is a plot that evaluates a diagnostic test for a continuous variable between diseased and non-diseased subjects.

Assessment of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase and alkaline phosphatase in tubercular and non-tubercular effusions

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
Background: Many studies have showed that adenosine deaminase (ADA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) values were highly supportive in the diagnosis of tuberculosis but comparison between ADA and ALP has not been much documented in pleural fluid (PF) in ...

A Mathematical Model for Cisplatin Cellular Pharmacodynamics

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2003
A simple theoretical model for the cellular pharmacodynamics of cisplatin is presented. The model, which takes into account the kinetics of cisplatin uptake by cells and the intracellular binding of the drug, can be used to predict the dependence of ...

On splitting the area under curves II

Journal of Differential Equations, 1982
AbstractThis paper continues the author's work [3, S. Minsker, J. Differential Equations, 26, No. 3 (1977), 443–457.] on an area-splitting problem leading to the functional differential equation a′(a(x)) = a(x)x. This equation is dealt with by transforming it into the linear equation ψ′(x) = ψ(x + c), for which positive solutions on (−∞, −c) are sought.

Degree-Based Similarity Indexes for Identifying Potential miRNA-Disease Associations

IEEE Access, 2020
Identifying disease-associated miRNAs is helpful to explore the pathogenesis of diseases. However, without foreknowledge of the experimentally valid disease-associated miRNAs information, the development of promising and affordable approaches for ...
