Representation of States on Effect-Tribes and Effect Algebras by Integrals [PDF]

, 2010
We describe $\sigma$-additive states on effect-tribes by integrals. Effect-tribes are monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebras of functions where operations are defined by points. Then we show that every state on an effect algebra is an integral through a Borel regular probability measure.

Impact of Acute and Sub‐Acute Gluten Exposure on Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Psychological Responses in Non‐Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity: A Randomised Crossover Study

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Aims Non‐coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is a controversial entity, characterised by symptom improvement with gluten exclusion in the absence of coeliac disease. We primarily investigated the effects of acute and sub‐acute gluten on psychological and mood profiles, with secondary outcomes examining gastrointestinal symptoms and ...

Heterogeneous interventional indirect effects with multiple mediators: non-parametric and semi-parametric approaches [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
We propose semi- and non-parametric methods to estimate conditional interventional effects in the setting of two discrete mediators whose causal ordering is unknown. Average interventional indirect effects have been shown to decompose an average treatment effect into a direct effect and interventional indirect effects that quantify effects of ...

Clinical Benefits of a Randomized Allergy App Intervention in Grass Pollen Sufferers: A Controlled Trial

Allergy, EarlyView.
Different functions of an allergy app were tested for clinical benefit in a randomized, controlled trial in patients with grass pollen allergy. Participants with pollen forecast function took more medication and had fewer symptoms than participants without pollen forecast. A symptom forecast was developed based on the study data.

A Framework for Higher-Order Effects & Handlers [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Algebraic effects & handlers are a modular approach for modeling side-effects in functional programming. Their syntax is defined in terms of a signature of effectful operations, encoded as a functor, that are plugged into the free monad; their denotational semantics is defined by fold-style handlers that only interpret their part of the syntax and ...

Understanding the mechanisms of placebo and nocebo effects

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2020
Although placebos have long been considered a nuisance in clinical research, over recent years they have become an active and productive field of research. Indeed, the placebo effect represents an elegant model to understand how the brain works. It is worth knowing that there is not a single but many placebo effects, with different mechanisms across ...

Patient‐Reported Outcomes With Immediate‐Loaded Zygomatic Implant Fixed Rehabilitation in Patients With Edentulous Atrophic Maxilla: A Retrospective Practice‐Based Clinical Study

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To assess if immediate‐loaded zygomatic implant‐supported fixed rehabilitation meets the expectations of and satisfies patients with atrophic edentulous maxilla. Methods This study included an analysis of data obtained from the dental records of 22 consecutive patients with atrophic edentulous maxillae who received immediate‐loaded ...

Negative expectations (nocebo phenomenon) in clinical interventions: A scoping review

Journal of Education and Health Promotion
Unpredictable, undesirable, and confusing reactions in the face of psychological or medical interventions make the clinical presentation more complicated and may represent clinically unexplained symptoms and also disturbed the doctor–patients ...

On the Distinction Between "Conditional Average Treatment Effects" (CATE) and "Individual Treatment Effects" (ITE) Under Ignorability Assumptions [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Recent years have seen a swell in methods that focus on estimating "individual treatment effects". These methods are often focused on the estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects under ignorability assumptions. This paper hopes to draw attention to the fact that there is nothing necessarily "individual" about such effects under ignorability ...

Comparing Long‐Term Infliximab Persistence Following a Switch to a Biosimilar in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: No Cause for Concern

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Several studies have demonstrated that switching stable patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from originator to biosimilar infliximab is noninferior to continuing originator infliximab. However, “real‐world” data comparing long‐term outcomes between switch and nonswitch cohorts is lacking.
