Assessing the Estimands and Estimates of Hospitalization Rates in Health Economics and Clinical Medicine

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Even though data on hospital admissions are widely used in health research, hospitalization‐related estimands measured using these data are not always clearly conceptualized. Consequently, estimators of these quantities can have unclear rationales and undesirable properties.

Longitudinal Associations Between Inflammation and Multi‐Dimensional Fatigue up to 2 Years After Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Cancer‐related fatigue (CRF) is a common and debilitating symptom among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but its underlying biological causes remain unclear, with inflammation emerging as a leading suspect. Here, researchers analyzed inflammatory biomarkers in blood samples and evaluated responses in fatigue assessments from CRC patients at and up to ...

The Common bed bug (Cimex lectularius) in metropolitan France. Survey on the attitudes and practices of private- and public-sector professionals

Parasite, 2016
The Common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, had virtually disappeared from France in the 1950s; however, a worldwide resurgence of bed bugs (C. lectularius and C. hemipterus) has been observed since the 1990s.

Analytical and Workflow Performance of a High‐Throughput Chemiluminescent Immunoassay System in a Clinical Laboratory

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Analytical and operational performance evaluation of the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer in a clinical laboratory in Taiwan. ABSTRACT Background Increasing test volumes and shorter turnaround time (TAT) requirements, particularly in acute‐care settings, challenge clinical laboratories to maintain accurate immunoassay testing.

Sense of Coherence in the Perinatal Period: A Longitudinal Growth Mixture Modeling Analysis

Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Previous studies have established that higher Sense of Coherence (SoC) predicts lower pregnancy‐specific distress, fewer delivery complications, and increased birth satisfaction. However, less is known about how SoC typically changes over pregnancy, birth, and postnatally and the risk factors and protective factors contributing to ...

Role of Depression and Anxiety in Eating Disorder Symptomatology in Higher Levels of Care for Girls With Anorexia Nervosa

Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Although the prevalence of affective comorbidities with eating disorders (ED) has been well established, the three‐way relation between ED, depression, and anxiety symptoms has not been explored in an intensive adolescent treatment setting.

Identification of Bed Bugs from Comoros, Using Morphological, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry, and Molecular Biology Tools, and the Detection of Associated Bacteria

Insects
After virtually disappearing from domestic dwellings in the Western world at the end of the Second World War, bed bugs have re-emerged in recent years. Few studies, however, have been carried out on these insects in tropical islands.

Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

Longitudinal 1H and 129Xe Lung MRI in Patients With Post‐COVID Residual Lung Abnormalities

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background It is unclear how lung function may recover in patients with residual lung abnormalities (RLAs) following COVID‐19 pneumonia. Purpose To evaluate lung function trends over time in patients with RLAs following hospitalization due to COVID‐19. Study Type Prospective, multicenter longitudinal cohort study.
