Determination of the most appropriate method for extrapolating overall survival data from a placebo-controlled clinical trial of lenvatinib for progressive, radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Cost-effectiveness models for the treatment of long-term conditions often require information on survival beyond the period of available data.

Growth Data of Broiler Chickens Fitted to Gompertz Function

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 1999
This study describes the growth of broiler chickens to the two forms of Gompertz function for application in broiler production models. The first form is based on the estimated mature weight (W-A), while the second is based on the estimated hatch weight (W-O). Both equations gave identical estimation because they are mathematically identical.

Polylimonene Improves the In Vivo Wound Healing Performance of Sodium Alginate‐Based Hydrogels

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
An oligomer derived from orange peel essential oil incorporated into an alginate hydrogel was shown to be biocompatible and to exhibit a high capacity for in vivo incisional wound healing, as confirmed by experimental assays and mathematical models fitted to the data describing wound area reduction as a function of the dressing‐tissue contact time ...

Why we age

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Gompertz Ampadu Class of Distributions: Properties and Applications

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2022
This paper introduces a new generator family of distributions called the Gompertz Ampadu-G family. Based on the generator, the Lomax distribution was modified into Gompertz Ampadu Lomax.

Longitudinal Tumor Size and Survival Modeling for Exposure–Response Analysis of Drugs with Frequent Dose Reductions: Dose Justification of Abemaciclib in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Abemaciclib is an oral anticancer drug indicated for treatment of HR+ HER2‐ breast cancer. Dose modifications due to side effects are frequent, thus drug exposures change over time as a result of altering the dose or temporarily withholding abemaciclib treatment.

Simulations of a mortality plateau in the sexual Penna model for biological ageing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Penna model is a strategy to simulate the genetic dynamics of age-structured populations, in which the individuals genomes are represented by bit-strings.

Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...
