Dosimetry, Toxicity and Stability Associated With a Hyaluronic Acid‐Based Prostate‐Rectal Spacing Device During Prostate Radiation Therapy: A Retrospective Comparative Analysis

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Rectal spacers composed of stabilised hyaluronic acid facilitated a favourable toxicity profile compared to no spacing during prostate radiation therapy. Acute GI toxicity (grade ≥ 1) was lower in the spacer cohort (23.5% vs. 48.0%; odds ratio = 0.33, p = 0.05) with grade ≥ 2 toxicity substantially lower (2.9% vs. 20.0%).

A Unified Nonparametric Fiducial Approach to Interval-Censored Data

, 2023
Censored data, where the event time is partially observed, are challenging for survival probability estimation. In this article, we introduce a novel nonparametric fiducial approach to interval-censored data, including right-censored, current status ...

Applications of Generalized Fiducial Inference in High Frequency Data [PDF]

, 2015
Fiducial inference was introduced by R.A. Fisher Fisher (1930) as a response to the Bayesian approach to inference. The Bayesian paradigm begins by assuming a prior distribution on the parameter space and inference is conducted via the posterior ...

Pathways to care in pinyon–juniper woodlands: Insights from Indigenous‐led monitoring and a public survey

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation decisions often require navigating tensions among ecological, cultural, economic and social priorities. While debates frequently centre on single‐species outcomes, less is known about how care for landscapes may contribute to co‐stewardship.

Generalized Fiducial Inference via Discretization [PDF]

, 2013
In addition to the usual sources of error that have been long studied by statisticians, many data sets have been rounded off in some manner, either by the measuring device or storage on a computer.

Integrating bioassays and transcriptomics to detect neonicotinoid resistance in Australian Bemisia tabaci MEAM1

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 strain GR15‐1R shows partial resistance to neonicotinoids (bottom), which correlates with an increased expression of the P450 gene CYP6CM1 compared to the insecticide‐susceptible strain SU07‐1 (top). Abstract BACKGROUND Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 is a highly invasive and polyphagous pest species of agricultural and horticultural ...

Three Spirometry‐Based At‐Risk Phenotypes Predict Incident Airflow Limitation: A Population‐Based Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
Analysing the population‐based KORA and SHIP studies, three spirometric at‐risk subtypes (early airflow limitation, PRISm, and small airway dysfunction) were consistently associated with incident airflow limitation. Their combination in a conceptual framework identified most future cases with high negative predictive value, suggesting potential for ...
