Shrinkage estimation for dose-response modeling in phase II trials with multiple schedules [PDF]
Recently, phase II trials with multiple schedules (frequency of administrations) have become more popular, for instance in the development of treatments for atopic dermatitis. If the relationship of the dose and response is described by a parametric model, a simplistic approach is to pool doses from different schedules.

A Hybrid Deep Learning Approach for Diagnosis of the Erythemato-Squamous Disease [PDF]
The diagnosis of the Erythemato-squamous disease (ESD) is accepted as a difficult problem in dermatology. ESD is a form of skin disease. It generally causes redness of the skin and also may cause loss of skin. They are generally due to genetic or environmental factors.

Machine Learning Approaches to Predict and Detect Early-Onset of Digital Dermatitis in Dairy Cows using Sensor Data [PDF]
The aim of this study was to employ machine learning algorithms based on sensor behavior data for (1) early-onset detection of digital dermatitis (DD); and (2) DD prediction in dairy cows. With the ultimate goal to set-up early warning tools for DD prediction, which would than allow a better monitoring and management of DD under commercial settings ...

Stability versus Meta-stability in a Skin Microbiome Model [PDF]
The skin microbiome plays an important role in the maintenance of a healthy skin. It is an ecosystem, composed of several species, competing for resources and interacting with the skin cells. Imbalance in the cutaneous microbiome, also called dysbiosis, has been correlated with several skin conditions, including acne and atopic dermatitis.

Properties of a confirmatory two-stage adaptive procedure for assessing average bioequivalence [PDF]
We investigate a confirmatory two stage adaptive procedure for assessing average bioequivalence and provide some insights to its theoretical properties. Effectively, we perform Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) to reach overall decision about each of the two traditional null-hypotheses involved in declaring average bioequivalence.

PAM-HC: A Bayesian Nonparametric Construction of Hybrid Control for Randomized Clinical Trials Using External Data [PDF]
It is highly desirable to borrow information from external data to augment a control arm in a randomized clinical trial, especially in settings where the sample size for the control arm is limited. However, a main challenge in borrowing information from external data is to accommodate potential heterogeneous subpopulations across the external and trial

Inference of Mixed Graphical Models for Dichotomous Phenotypes using Markov Random Field Model [PDF]
In this article, we propose a new method named fused mixed graphical model (FMGM), which can infer network structures for dichotomous phenotypes. We assumed that the interplay of different omics markers is associated with disease status and proposed an FMGM-based method to detect the associated omics marker network difference. The statistical models of

Comparative Analysis of Drug-GPT and ChatGPT LLMs for Healthcare Insights: Evaluating Accuracy and Relevance in Patient and HCP Contexts [PDF]
This study presents a comparative analysis of three Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) solutions in a question and answer (Q&A) setting: Drug-GPT 3, Drug-GPT 4, and ChatGPT, in the context of healthcare applications. The objective is to determine which model delivers the most accurate and relevant information in response to prompts related to ...

Diagnosis of Scalp Disorders using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Approach -- A Review [PDF]
The morbidity of scalp diseases is minuscule compared to other diseases, but the impact on the patient's life is enormous. It is common for people to experience scalp problems that include Dandruff, Psoriasis, Tinea-Capitis, Alopecia and Atopic-Dermatitis. In accordance with WHO research, approximately 70% of adults have problems with their scalp.

A Skin Microbiome Model with AMP interactions and Analysis of Quasi-Stability vs Stability in Population Dynamics [PDF]
The skin microbiome plays an important role in the maintenance of a healthy skin. It is an ecosystem, composed of several species, competing for resources and interacting with the skin cells. Imbalance in the cutaneous microbiome, also called dysbiosis, has been correlated with several skin conditions, including acne and atopic dermatitis.
