Trajectories of change after a health-education program in Japan: decay of impact in anxiety, depression, and patient-physician communication [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Health education can benefit people with chronic diseases. However, in previous research those benefits were small, and reinforcement to maintain them was not effective.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Measuring the performance of LPA, LCGA, LGCM, and GMM in identifying the homogenous subgroups (latent classes) within the wider heterogeneous population of patients on DTG

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
BackgroundIdentifying heterogeneity in longitudinal data is critical for understanding diverse trajectories in clinical and epidemiological research. Traditional analytical methods often fail to distinguish latent subpopulations.

Artificial Intelligence as the Next Visionary in Liquid Crystal Research

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The functions of AI in the research laboratory are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing the entire process of hypothesis formulation, material design, synthesis, experimental design, and reiterative testing to be automated. In our work, we conceive how the incorporation of AI in the laboratory environment will transform the role and ...

Value-at-Risk and expected shortfall for rare events [PDF]

, 2008
We show that the use of correlations for modeling dependencies may lead to counterintuitive behavior of risk measures, such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Short- fall (ES), when the risk of very rare events is assessed via Monte-Carlo techniques ...

Prediction of late-onset depression in the elderly Korean population using machine learning algorithms

Scientific Reports
Late-onset depression (LOD) refers to depression that newly appears in elderly individuals without prior depression episodes. Predicting future depression is crucial for mitigating the risk of major depression in prospective patients.

The Cuttlebone Blueprint for Multifunctional Metamaterials: Design Taxonomy, Functional Decoupling, and Future Horizons

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlebone‐inspired metamaterials exploit a septum‐wall architecture to achieve excellent mechanical and functional properties. This review classifies existing designs into direct biomimetic, honeycomb‐type, and strut‐type architectures, summarizes governing design principles, and presents a decoupled design framework for interpreting multiphysical ...
