Coding of odors in the anterior olfactory nucleus

Physiological Reports, 2019
Odorant molecules stimulate olfactory receptor neurons, and axons of these neurons project into the main olfactory bulb where they synapse onto mitral and tufted cells.

Instantaneous death risk, conditional survival and optimal surgery timing in cervical fracture patients with ankylosing spondylitis: A national multicentre retrospective study

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundThe mortality rate in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and cervical fracture is relatively high.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the instantaneous death risk and conditional survival (CS) in patients with AS and cervical ...

A Two-Stage Estimation Approach to Cox Regression Under the Five-Parameter Spline Model

Mathematics
The Cox proportional hazards model is one of the most popular regression models for censored survival data. In the Cox model, the baseline hazard function is often modeled by cubic spline functions.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Use of Hazard Functions for Determining Power-Law Behaviour in Data

Analytics
Determining the ‘best-fitting’ distribution for data is an important problem in data analysis. Specifically, observing how the distribution of data changes as values below (or above) a threshold are omitted from analyses can be of use in various ...

Minimal Self and Timing Disorders in Schizophrenia: A Case Report

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
For years, phenomenological psychiatry has proposed that distortions of the temporal structure of consciousness contribute to the abnormal experiences described before schizophrenia emerges, and may relate to basic disturbances in consciousness of the ...

Cumulative Residual q-Fisher Information and Jensen-Cumulative Residual χ² Divergence Measures

Entropy, 2022
In this work, we define cumulative residual q-Fisher (CRQF) information measures for the survival function (SF) of the underlying random variables as well as for the model parameter. We also propose q-hazard rate (QHR) function via q-logarithmic function

AVERAGE DERIVATIVES FOR HAZARD FUNCTIONS

Econometric Theory, 2004
Summary: This paper develops semiparametric kernel-based estimators of risk-specific hazard functions for competing risks data. Both discrete and continuous failure times are considered. The maintained assumption is that the hazard function depends on explanatory variables only through an index.

The Combined Effect of Obesity and Contraceptive Use on Pulmonary Embolism in Adolescent Females Residing in the United States

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Combined oral contraceptive (COC) use in obese adult women dramatically increases the relative risk of developing a pulmonary embolism (PE). The risk of a PE in obese adolescent females taking contraceptives is currently unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and contraceptive
