NanoCMSer: a consensus molecular subtype stratification tool for fresh‐frozen and paraffin‐embedded colorectal cancer samples

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Consensus molecular subtypes (CMS1‐4) have been identified to study colorectal cancer heterogeneity and serve as potential biomarkers. In this study, we developed and evaluated NanoCMSer, a NanoString‐based classifier using 55 genes, optimized for FF and FFPE to facilitate the clinical evaluation of CMS subtyping.

A Method for Estimating the Total Loss of Healthy Life Years: Applications and Comparisons in UK and Scotland [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
We propose a method of estimating the Total Loss of Healthy Life Years based on the first exit time theory for a stochastic process, the resulting Health State Function and the Deterioration Function estimated as the curvature of the health state function. We have done many applications in UK and Scotland and Sweden supporting our theory.

Life Before Earth [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
An extrapolation of the genetic complexity of organisms to earlier times suggests that life began before the Earth was formed. Life may have started from systems with single heritable elements that are functionally equivalent to a nucleotide. The genetic complexity, roughly measured by the number of non-redundant functional nucleotides, is expected to ...

Algorithm for decomposition of differences between aggregate demographic measures and its application to life expectancies, healthy life expectancies, parity-progression ratios and total fertility rates

open access: yesDemographic Research, 2002
A general algorithm for the decomposition of differences between two values of an aggregate demographic measure in respect to age and other dimensions is proposed.

Immigration and improvements in American life expectancy

open access: yesSSM: Population Health, 2021
Despite the immigrant mortality advantage and the increasing share of the population born abroad, relatively little is known about how immigration has impacted trends in US life expectancy.

Obesity and Trends in Life Expectancy

open access: yesJournal of Obesity, 2012
Background. Increasing levels of obesity over recent decades have been expected to lead to an epidemic of diabetes and a subsequent reduction in life expectancy, but instead all-cause and cardiovascular-specific mortality rates have decreased steadily in

Ambient PM2.5 Reduces Global and Regional Life Expectancy

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology Letters, 2018
Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution is a major risk for premature death. Here, we systematically quantify the global impact of PM2.5 on life expectancy.

Inequalities in US Life Expectancy by Area Unemployment Level, 1990–2010

open access: yesScientifica, 2016
This study examined the association between unemployment and life expectancy in the United States during 1990–2010. Census-based unemployment rates were linked to US county-level mortality data.
