Attitudes of cancer patients toward ctDNA‐based liquid biopsy for follow‐up

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This mixed‐methods study explored cancer patients' experiences, knowledge, and preferences regarding ctDNA‐based liquid biopsy for follow‐up. Awareness of ctDNA was low and recall of previous liquid biopsy was imperfect, yet acceptance was high.

Reliability Inference and Remaining Useful Life Prediction Based on the Two-Parameter Bathtub-Shaped Lifetime Distribution Under Progressive Type-II Censoring

Mathematics
The two-parameter bathtub-shaped distribution is an important lifetime distribution. In this paper, we are interested in developing reliability inference and remaining useful life prediction methods for the two-parameter bathtub-shaped lifetime ...

Availability of ultrasound imaging of a guidewire parallel to the vein during internal jugular central venous catheter placement

Scientific Reports, 2021
Ultrasound verification of the guidewire traveling along the vein parallel to it and without any changes in angle has been recommended for prevention of inadvertent arterial catheterization during central venous catheter (CVC) placement.

Five‐Year Outcomes of Laparoscopic Sphincter‐Preserving Surgery for Rectal Cancer: A Prospective Study in Elderly Vietnamese Patients

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This prospective study demonstrates that laparoscopic sphincter‐preserving surgery is feasible for elderly patients. While overall survival reaches 70% at 5 years, advanced T‐stage and the omission of neoadjuvant therapy significantly drive recurrence, highlighting the need for personalized geriatric protocols despite logistical challenges.

Characterization of Exponential Distribution Through Normalized Spacing of Generalized Order Statistics

Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2019
In this paper, exponential distribution is characterized by normalized spacing of generalized order statistics (gos) using Meijer's G-function. While the necessary part of the theorem was given by U. Kamps, E. Cramer, Statistics.

A Low Psoas Muscle Index Was Associated With a Poorer Overall Survival in Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Nephrostomy

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
In patients with malignant ureteral obstruction undergoing percutaneous nephrostomy, sarcopenia defined by a low psoas muscle index was independently associated with poor overall survival on multivariate Cox regression analysis, suggesting that preoperative assessment of psoas muscle index may aid prognostic stratification in this population.

Modified generalized p-value and confidence interval by Fisher's fiducial approach [PDF]

, 2017
WOS: 000400349400015In this study, we develop two simple generalized confidence intervals for the difference between means of two normal populations with heteroscedastic variances which is usually referred to as the Behrens-Fisher problem.

Elevated Connectivity During Language Processing Is Associated With Cognitive Performance in SeLECTS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Self‐Limited Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (SeLECTS) is associated with language impairments despite seizures originating in the motor cortex, suggesting aberrant cross‐network interactions. Here we tested whether functional connectivity in SeLECTS during language tasks predicts language performance.

Comparing the Effect of Semi‐Immersive Virtual Reality, Computerized Cognitive Training, and Traditional Rehabilitation on Cognitive Function in Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive impairment is a common non‐motor symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), negatively affecting autonomy and Quality of Life (QoL). Innovative rehabilitation strategies, such as semi‐immersive virtual reality (VR) and computerized cognitive training (CCT), may offer advantages over traditional cognitive rehabilitation (TCR ...
