Long-term survival rates of laryngeal cancer patients treated by radiation and surgery, radiation alone, and surgery alone : studied by lognormal and Kaplan-Meier survival methods

BMC Cancer, 2005
Background Validation of the use of the lognormal model for predicting long-term survival rates using short-term follow-up data. Methods 907 cases of laryngeal cancer were treated from 1973–1977 by radiation and surgery (248), radiation alone (345), and ...

Increased Plasma Microbial tDR‐1 in At‐Risk Individuals Is Associated With Decreased Conversion to Clinical Rheumatoid Arthritis and Reduces an In Vitro Macrophage Type 1 Interferon Response

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Microbial small RNAs can regulate human genes. Higher plasma concentrations of microbial transfer RNA (tRNA)‐derived RNA‐1 (tDR‐1) were previously associated with lower rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. This study examined whether tDR‐1 concentrations differ in anticyclic citrullinated peptide‐3 positive (CCP3+) at‐risk individuals (

Weibull or Lognormal Distribution to Characterize Fatigue Life Scatter – Which is More Suitable? – Continued

Fatigue of Aircraft Structures
This paper describes a study to determine whether fatigue test life scatter is best characterised by a Weibull or lognormal statistical distribution for a high strength steel used for landing gear structures. It is a response to “Face 2” of the ICAF 2017

Cost‐effectiveness of DPYD genotyping prior to fluoropyrimidine‐based treatment for colorectal cancer in Wales

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Regulatory guidance in the United Kingdom advises DPYD genotyping prior to fluoropyrimidine‐based treatment. This economic evaluation estimated the costs and outcomes associated with DPYD screening prior to prescribing fluoropyrimidines for colorectal cancer in Wales and also considers additional variants to those included in ...

parfm : Parametric Frailty Models in R

Journal of Statistical Software, 2012
Frailty models are getting more and more popular to account for overdispersion and/or clustering in survival data. When the form of the baseline hazard is somehow known in advance, the parametric estimation approach can be used advantageously ...

Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of canagliflozin in paediatric patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Canagliflozin was recently approved in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients ≥10 and <18 years old as a single agent dosed once daily (QD) or in a fixed‐dose combination with metformin dosed twice daily (BID). We characterize canagliflozin pharmacokinetics in paediatric patients with T2DM, compare estimated individual and simulated ...

Monitoring pharmacodynamic and molecular drug targets in liquid biopsy: Exploratory study in liver cancer with modelling of EGFR Receptor engagement

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Liquid biopsy is minimally invasive (compared with tissue biopsy) and has previously been used to generate systems data regarding drug elimination via hepatic enzymes and transporters. This study extends quantitative assessment of systems parameters in liquid biopsy to pharmacodynamic (PD) and disease markers relevant to cancer development

The Lognormal Distribution Is Characterized by Its Integer Moments

Mathematics
The lognormal moment sequence is considered. Using the fractional moments technique, it is first proved that the lognormal has the largest differential entropy among the infinite positively supported probability densities with the same lognormal-moments.

Characterization and immunogenicity of nanoparticle vaccines displaying embecovirus spike proteins

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Virus‐like particle vaccines displaying spike proteins from OC43, HKU1 A, and HKU1 B were evaluated in mice for their ability to elicit antibodies against the spike proteins from OC43, HKU1 A, HKU1 B, and HKU1 C. Abstract Endemic human coronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 cause widespread respiratory infections and can be associated with severe illness in ...
