Reproducibility of a multiparametric MRI protocol including Pseudo‐Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (PCASL), intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), and T1 mapping sequences was assessed, and normal values of the measured parameters were characterized in renal transplant patients with stable function.

BET: Bayesian Ensemble Trees for Clustering and Prediction in Heterogeneous Data [PDF]
We propose a novel "tree-averaging" model that utilizes the ensemble of classification and regression trees (CART). Each constituent tree is estimated with a subset of similar data. We treat this grouping of subsets as Bayesian ensemble trees (BET) and model them as an infinite mixture Dirichlet process.

Physical exercise training for cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Physical exercise training may form an important part of regular care for people with cystic fibrosis. This is an update of a previously published review. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of physical exercise training on exercise capacity by

Dash and coworkers have fabricated a small intestine on a chip, which encapsulates the physiology and biofilm of the small intestinal epithelium. The dynamic system showed villus differentiation within 5 days of flow, and the mucus layer and biofilm showed small intestinal characteristics.

Fibrosis imaging with multiparametric proton and sodium MRI in pig injury models
Multiparametric MRI can predict intrarenal fibrosis. ADC cortex, ΔR2*, ΔT1, the 23Na medulla/cortex ratio, and plasma creatinine resulted in the most robust model for intrarenal fibrosis prediction. Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and has huge implications for health and mortality.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients harboring the most common deletion mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), F508del, are poor responders to potentiators of CFTR channel activity which can be used to treat a small subset ...

Computation of ancestry scores with mixed families and unrelated individuals [PDF]
The issue of robustness to family relationships in computing genotype ancestry scores such as eigenvector projections has received increased attention in genetic association, as the scores are widely used to control spurious association. We use a motivational example from the North American Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Consortium genetic association study with

Measuring and reporting quality of life outcomes in clinical trials in cystic fibrosis: a critical review [PDF]
Good quality clinical trials are essential to inform the best cystic fibrosis (CF) management and care, by determining and comparing the effectiveness of new and existing therapies and drug delivery systems.
