In Vitro Modeling of Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity to Inform Personalized ALS Therapeutics

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Natural killer (NK) cells might contribute to motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through direct cytotoxicity, a process that could be inhibited with the FDA‐approved JAK/STAT pathway inhibitor, tofacitinib. This study aimed to verify that tofacitinib can suppress NK cell cytotoxicity, investigate if immune cell

Effect of Antihypertensive Drugs Retention Using Multilevel Cox Model

open access: yesمجله اپیدمیولوژی ایران, 2018
Background and Objectives: The Cox model is one of the methods used in survival data; however, the use of hierarchical data, such as the data of this study, violates the assumption of independence, the the Cox model cannot be used  assuming independence ...

Limitations of using COX proportional hazards model in cardiovascular research

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology
The article by Zhao et al. titled “Associations of Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) Index with Chest Pain Incidence and Mortality among the U.S. Population” provides valuable insights into the positive correlation between the TyG index and chest pain incidence,

A pliable lasso for the Cox model

open access: yes, 2018
We introduce a pliable lasso method for estimation of interaction effects in the Cox proportional hazards model framework. The pliable lasso is a linear model that includes interactions between covariates X and a set of modifying variables Z and assumes sparsity of the main effects and interaction effects.

High‐Efficacy Treatment in Neuromyelitis Optica Specturm Disorder Patients With Seropositive AQP4 Antibodies—A Real‐World Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effectiveness of high‐efficacy treatments (HET) and low‐efficacy treatments (LET) in NMOSD patients with anti‐aquaporin‐4 antibodies (AQP4‐ab). Methods In this multi‐center study, we analyzed 183 AQP4‐ab seropositive NMOSD patients who received immunosuppressive treatments (IST).

A Validated Model to Predict Severe Weight Loss in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe weight loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is common, multifactorial, and associated with shortened survival. Using longitudinal weight data from over 6000 patients with ALS across three cohorts, we built an accelerated failure time model to predict the risk of future severe (≥ 10%) weight loss using five single‐timepoint ...
