Observational-Interventional Priors for Dose-Response Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Controlled interventions provide the most direct source of information for learning causal effects. In particular, a dose-response curve can be learned by varying the treatment level and observing the corresponding outcomes. However, interventions can be expensive and time-consuming.

Sacrificial strategy towards the formation of vascular‐like networks in volumetric tissue constructs
BMEMat, EarlyView.This mini‐review highlights the latest progress in the sacrificial template‐enabled creation of patent vascular‐like networks, which can be incorporated into volumetric tissue constructs. Such microchannel networks can provide an immediate supply of nutrition and O2 to those cells residing next to the channels.

PINNing Cerebral Blood Flow: Analysis of Perfusion MRI in Infants using Physics-Informed Neural Networks [PDF]
arXivArterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables cerebral perfusion measurement, which is crucial in detecting and managing neurological issues in infants born prematurely or after perinatal complications. However, cerebral blood flow (CBF) estimation in infants using ASL remains challenging due to the complex interplay of network ...

Newborn skin reflection: Proof of concept for a new approach for predicting gestational age at birth. A cross-sectional study [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Current methods to assess the gestational age during prenatal care or at birth are a global challenge. Disadvantages, such as low accessibility, high costs, and imprecision of clinical tests and ultrasonography measurements, may compromise health decisions at birth, based on the gestational age. Newborns organs and tissues can indirectly indicate their

Charting the landscape of the environmental exposome
iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 We describe the biological and chemical components of the environmental exposomes in three major environmental matrices that are highly relevant to human and social‐economical health—air, soil, and water. We discuss how different exposome components can interact with each other. Finally, we propose a list of outstanding challenges to be tackled to push

Using an Instrumental Variable to Test for Unmeasured Confounding [PDF]
Statistics in Medicine 2014, Volume 33, Issue 20, Pages 3528-3546, 2016 An important concern in an observational study is whether or not there is unmeasured confounding, i.e., unmeasured ways in which the treatment and control groups differ before treatment that affect the outcome. We develop a test of whether there is unmeasured confounding when an instrumental variable (IV) is available.
