Statistica, 2007 Efron's (1971) Biased Coin Design is a well-known randomization technique of sequential clinical trials for comparing two treatments in the absence of prognostic factors that helps neutralize selection bias while keeping the experiment fairly balanced ...

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2019 Background and Aims: Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) is the most commonly used mode of anesthesia for upper limb surgeries. Higher volume of local anesthetic used in ISB is associated with increased incidence of side effects, particularly ...

Robust quantum state engineering through coherent localization in biased-coin quantum walks
EPJ Quantum Technology, 2018 We address the performance of a coin-biased quantum walk as a generator for non-classical position states of the walker. We exploit a phenomenon of coherent localization in the position space - resulting from the choice of small values of the coin ...

Study on MEV90 of 0.5% ropivacaine for US-guided caudal epidural block in anorectal surgery
Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 BackgroundChoosing the appropriate concentration and volume of anesthetics is critical for a successful nerve block. The current study aimed to determine the minimum effective volume (MEV) of 0.5% ropivacaine for US-guided CEB in 90% of patients (MEV90 ...

The distribution of loss in two-treatment biased-coin designs [PDF]
Biostatistics, 2003 The paper compares randomized rules of the biased-coin type for the sequential allocation of treatments in a clinical trial. An important characteristic is the loss, which measures the increase in the variance of parameter estimates due to the imbalance caused by randomization. Simulations are used to find the small-sample distribution of loss.

Determination of the 95% effective dose of remimazolam to achieve loss of consciousness during anesthesia induction in different age groups [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2022 Background Remimazolam is a new ultra short-acting benzodiazepine originally developed as an improved version of midazolam. Recent studies have demonstrated non-inferiority of remimazolam to propofol in general anesthesia.
