Effectiveness of a Novel Low‐Density Lipoprotein Apheresis Device Rheocarna in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of lower‐extremity artery disease characterized by distal lesions and microcirculatory impairment, limiting revascularization efficacy. Rheocarna is a direct hemoperfusion low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorption device with potential rheological and anti‐inflammatory ...

Evaluation of psychometric properties of the Dental Anxiety Inventory (DAI‐36) questionnaire using iterative hybrid ordinal logistic: Differential item functioning (DIF)

Brain and Behavior, 2023
Objectives Dental Anxiety Inventory (DAI‐36) questionnaire is an instrument for assessing dental anxiety. The different perceptions of the questionnaire items in the individual at the same level of underlying dental anxiety may lead to different reported

Investigation of differential item and step functioning procedures in polytomus items

Eğitimde ve Psikolojide Ölçme ve Değerlendirme Dergisi, 2023
This study aimed to compare differential item functioning (DIF) and differential step function (DSF) detection methods in polytomously scored items under various conditions. In this context, the study examined Kazakhstan, Turkey and USA data obtained from the items related to the frequency of using digital devices at school in PISA 2018 students’ “ICT ...

Prognosis of Long‐Term Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy and the Impact of Combined Continuous Intravenous Sodium Infusion Therapy

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients requiring long‐term continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) generally have poor prognoses. This study evaluated whether adding continuous intravenous sodium infusion (cIVNa) is associated with improved hemodynamics and outcomes in patients undergoing long‐term CRRT for ≥ 7 days.

Assessing Differential Item Functioning and Differential Test Functioning in an Academic Motivation Scale using Item Response Theory methods

, 2022
Social work researchers and practitioners who use measurement instruments to make data-informed decisions need to ensure those decisions are based on items and scales that are free from possible bias or undesirable differential functioning. In this study,

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Halpin’s Differential Test Functioning via Robust Linking: A Comparison of Bisquare and L₀ Loss Functions

Information
Differential test functioning (DTF) assesses, within an item response model, whether differential item functioning (DIF) affects the test as a whole.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
