Optimization Hierarchy for Fair Statistical Decision Problems [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Data-driven decision-making has drawn scrutiny from policy makers due to fears of potential discrimination, and a growing literature has begun to develop fair statistical techniques. However, these techniques are often specialized to one model context and based on ad-hoc arguments, which makes it difficult to perform theoretical analysis.

Opiate Drug Seeking and Addiction: The Influence of Sucrose Consumption on the Acquisition and Expression of Morphine-induced Conditioned Place Preferences (CPP) [PDF]

, 2019
Sucrose intake may lead to changes in brain and behavior similar to the effects of abused drugs. For example, sucrose may agonize endogenous opiate systems and modulate opiate-seeking behavior.

Polyoxotungstates‐stabilized gold nanoparticles: how to transfer from an aqueous suspension to CH3CN

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Accepted Article.
The present study aimed to evaluate available methods for preparing suspensions of gold nanoparticles stabilized by polyoxometalates (POMs@AuNPs) in CH3CN, a solvent commonly used in oxidation reactions. POMs@AuNPs were successfully synthesized in CH3CN using three different approaches: (i) in situ generation of nanoparticles via chemical reduction of ...

Evaluation of the Drug–Drug Interaction Potential of Cannabidiol Against UGT2B7-Mediated Morphine Metabolism Using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling

Pharmaceutics
Background: Morphine is a commonly prescribed opioid analgesic used to treat chronic pain. Morphine undergoes glucuronidation by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B7 to form morphine-3-glucuronide and morphine-6-glucuronide.

Ingestion of amniotic fluid enhances the facilitative effect of VTA morphine on the onset of maternal behavior in virgin rats [PDF]

, 2009
Previous research has shown that injection of morphine into the ventral tegmental area(VTA) facilitates the onset of maternal behavior in virgin female rats, and injection of the opioid antagonist naltrexone into the VTA disrupts the onset of maternal ...

Estimating the Cost and Carbon Output of Musculoskeletal Primary Care Management Decisions: A Retrospective Analysis of Electronic Health Records

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Healthcare accounts for up to 5% of worldwide carbon emissions and costs global economies an estimated $9 trillion annually. Primary care accounts for up to one‐fifth of all NHS carbon emissions, with musculoskeletal (MSK) pain accounting for 14%–30% of all primary care consultations.
