Serum Neurofilament Light Chain in Multiple Sclerosis: Superiority of Age‐ and BMI‐Corrected Z Scores/Percentiles Over Absolute Cutoff Values for Prediction of Treatment Response

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Prognostication of disease course and prediction of treatment response in multiple sclerosis is an unmet need. We compared the performance of serum neurofilament light chain Z scores (age‐ and BMI‐adjusted) with absolute concentrations for the prediction of response to disease‐modifying therapy.

Recursive formulae for the multiplicative partition function

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1999
For a positive integer n, let f(n) be the number of essentially different ways of writing n as a product of factors greater than 1, where two factorizations of a positive integer are said to be essentially the same if they differ only in the order of the

The rs10191329 Risk Allele Is Associated With Pronounced Retinal Layer Atrophy in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether the rs10191329 risk allele in the DYSF–ZNF638 locus, which is implicated in central nervous system resilience rather than immune‐mediated pathology, is associated with retinal layer thinning, a biomarker of neuroaxonal damage in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Methods From a prospective observational study,

Multiplicative functions that are close to their mean [PDF]

, 2019
We introduce a simple approach to study partial sums of multiplicative functions which are close to their mean value. As a first application, we show that a completely multiplicative function f : N→C satisfies ∑ f(n)_ (n≤x) = cx+O(1) with c ≠ 0 if and ...

Cancer Risk in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis: A Nationwide Cohort Study in South Korea 2004 to 2021

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by tissue fibrosis, vasculopathy, and immune dysregulation. Our objectives were to quantify the overall and site‐specific cancer risks in patients with SSc compared to the general population, examine temporal trends in cancer incidence following SSc diagnosis, and explore ...

Where, How, and How Much? A Multicenter Cohort Study of the Relationship Across Lupus Decision‐Aid Modality, Place of Administration, Interruption and Viewing Completeness, and Patient‐Reported Outcomes

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We assessed whether shared decision‐making (SDM) and patient acceptability, feasibility, and overall satisfaction with a computerized patient decision aid (PtDA) for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) differs by PtDA setting, modality, and the viewing experience. Methods Patients with SLE were invited to view a self‐administered

​Did a Non‐Medical Biosimilar Switching Policy Cause an Increase in Non‐Biologic/Biosimilar Health Care Resource Utilization or Cost in Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a series of policies that mandated switching patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) from an originator biologic to a biosimilar in British Columbia, Canada, on health care resource use and cost.

Construction of the beta distributions using the random permutation divisors

Nonlinear Analysis
A subset of cycles comprising a permutation σ in the symmetric group Sn, n ∈ N, is called a divisor of σ. Then the partial sums over divisors with sizes up to un, 0 ≤ u ≤ 1, of values of a nonnegative multiplicative function on a random permutation ...

Global and regional temporal changes in cross‐country inequalities of site‐specific osteoarthritis burden, 1990–2021

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective This study examined the global and regional temporal changes in cross‐country inequalities of site‐specific osteoarthritis (OA) burden from 1990 to 2021. Methods Age‐standardized years lived with disability rate for site‐specific OA across 204 countries/territories were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2021.

The Multiplicative Weights Update Method: a Meta-Algorithm and Applications

Theory of Computing, 2012
Algorithms in varied fields use the idea of maintaining a distribution over a certain set and use the multiplicative update rule to iteratively change these weights.
