Vascular endothelial‐cadherin as a marker of endothelial injury in preclinical Alzheimer disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1926-1940, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective Endothelial dysfunction is an early and prevalent pathology in Alzheimer disease (AD). We here investigate the value of vascular endothelial‐cadherin (VEC) as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) marker of endothelial injury in preclinical AD.

Brain magnetic resonance imaging predictors in anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor encephalitis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1974-1984, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis are nonspecific and rarely have obvious associations with clinical characteristics and outcomes. This study aimed to comprehensively describe the MRI features of patients with NMDAR encephalitis, examine their associations with ...

真实世界研究中混杂因素和协变量控制——以脑血管病为例 Control of Confounders and Covariates in Real-World Studies: Cerebrovascular Diseasebased Cases Explanation

open access: yesZhongguo cuzhong zazhi, 2022
真实世界研究由于其研究结果更贴近真实世界,在临床研究领域逐渐受到关注和重视。真实世界研究不是并列于观察性研究和试验性研究的某种特定的研究设计类型,在真实世界研究的数据分析中更需要关注混杂因素和协变量的控制。正确识别混杂因素和协变量以及合理应用统计方法对其进行控制,可有效提高研究结论的准确性和真实性。本文介绍了真实世界研究中混杂因素和协变量控制的常见方法,包括分层分析、协方差分析、多因素回归、倾向性评分、疾病风险评分和工具变量分析等,并结合脑血管病的临床研究应用实例展开分析 ...

On Hilbert Covariants [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Mathematics, 2014
AbstractLet F denote a binary form of order d over the complex numbers. If r is a divisor of d, then the Hilbert covariant Hr,d(F) vanishes exactly when F is the perfect power of an order r form. In geometric terms, the coefficients of H give defining equations for the image variety X of an embedding Pr ↪ Pd.

Evaluation of discrepancies in spatial distribution of rainfall erosivity in the Czech Republic caused by different approaches using GIS and geostatistical tools

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2017
The study presents all approaches of rainfall erosivity factor (R) computation and estimation used in the Czech Republic (CR). A lot of distortions stem from the difference in erosive rainfall criteria, time period, tipping rain gauges errors, low ...

Control of spatial effects due to neighboring palms in coconut (Cocos nucifera) experiments

open access: yesCORD, 2007
The RCBD is the most robust design for field experimentations in coconut. In this study the effect of neighboring palms to control local variation in field experiments of coconut was evaluated using two long-term coconut trials.
