Transformations for compositional data with zeros with an application to forensic evidence evaluation [PDF]

, 2011
In forensic science likelihood ratios provide a natural way of computing the value of evidence under competing propositions such as "the compared samples have originated from the same object" (prosecution) and "the compared samples have originated from ...

Patient regret in tooth extraction for periodontitis: Highlighting the role of patient involvement in decision‐making

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Tooth extraction is one of the most common irreversible treatment options in dentistry, and it may lead to complex emotional responses such as patient regret. This study aimed to assess the extent of decisional regret among patients who underwent tooth extraction due to periodontal disease and to identify associated influencing ...

Sex‐specific associations between potentially traumatic events and cardiovascular disease in middle‐aged and older adults

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Potentially traumatic events (PTEs) are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in aging populations. Despite sex differences in PTE exposure and CVD incidence, no study has examined sex‐specific associations between PTEs and CVD in the same sample of middle‐aged and older adults.

Reaction Rate Coefficients and Adduct Formation in the Cl Atom + (E)‐CF3CF2CH=CHCF2CF3 Reaction

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, rate coefficients for the Cl‐atom + (E)‐CF3CF2CH═CHCF2CF3 (HFO‐153‐10mczz, F22E) gas‐phase reaction were measured as a function of temperature and pressure, k(243–323 K, 50–300 Torr), using a pulsed laser photolysis‐resonance fluorescence (PLP‐RF) technique.

Constructing Structural VAR Models with Conditional Independence Graphs [PDF]

In this paper graphical modelling is used to select a sparse structure for a multivariate time series model of New Zealand interest rates. In particular, we consider a recursive structural vector autoregressions that can subsequently be described ...

Joint and Independent Associations of Dietary Antioxidant Intakes With Advanced Stages in Older Patients With Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) progression in an older population. Using data from NHANES 2001–2020, we analyzed 4974 adults aged ≥ 60 years with CKM syndrome. The CDAI was calculated from the intake of six dietary antioxidants.

Identifying High‐Risk Children Safe for Same‐Day Discharge After Tonsillectomy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Current guidelines recommend overnight admission for children with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity undergoing tonsillectomy, although most have uneventful postoperative courses. We aimed to identify low‐risk subgroups within this high‐risk population who may be candidates for same‐day discharge. Methods Retrospective
