Short- and long-term effects of a multi-component physical activity intervention in primary school [PDF]
, 2012 There is compelling evidence that physical activity has numerous health benefits during childhood and adolescence. Insufficient levels of physical activity on the other hand can consequently affect cardiovascular and bone health, which may result in ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study explores salivary RNA for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up. High‐throughput RNA sequencing identified distinct salivary RNA signatures, including novel transcripts, that differentiate BC from healthy controls, characterize histological and molecular subtypes, and indicate lymph node involvement.

Informed Consent and Cluster-Randomized Trials
American Journal of Public Health, 2012 We argue that cluster-randomized trials are an important methodology, essential to the evaluation of many public health interventions. However, in the case of at least some cluster-randomized trials, it is not possible, or is incompatible with the aims of the study, to obtain individual informed consent.

Maximin Optimal Designs for Cluster Randomized Trials [PDF]
Biometrics, 2017 SummaryWe consider design issues for cluster randomized trials (CRTs) with a binary outcome where both unit costs and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) in the two arms may be unequal. We first propose a design that maximizes cost efficiency (CE), defined as the ratio of the precision of the efficacy measure to the study cost.

The Calculation of the 97.5% Upper Confidence Bound: Application to Clustered Binary Data in a Binomial Non-Inferiority Two-Sample Trial. [PDF]
, 2008 This paper will discuss the analysis of a cluster randomized binomial non-inferiority two-sample trial. The determination of the intra-cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) and its use in the calculation of the 97.5% upper confidence bound for delta, the

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.A comprehensive genomic and proteomic analysis of cervical cancer revealed STK11 and STX3 as a potential biomarkers of chemoradiation resistance. Our study demonstrated EGFR as a therapeutic target, paving the way for precision strategies to overcome treatment failure and the DNA repair pathway as a critical mechanism of resistance.
