Paramagnetic Rim Lesions Are Associated With Trans‐Synaptic Degeneration of the Visual Pathway in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Retrograde trans‐synaptic degeneration (rTSD) from posterior visual pathway lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by hemi‐macular ganglion cell‐inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thinning and contralateral visual field loss.

Normal‐Appearing White Matter Injury Mediates Chronic Deep Venous Hypoxia and Disease Progression in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore how cerebral hypoxia and Normal‐Appearing White Matter (NAWM) integrity affect MS lesion burden and clinical course. Methods Seventy‐nine MS patients, including 13 clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) patients and 66 relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients, and 44 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited from ...

Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.

The Normal distribution

BMJ, 2010
Researchers investigated whether antidepressant drug prescribing and referrals to specialist services for depression by general practitioners were associated with patients’ scores on depression severity questionnaires measured at the start of treatment. Anonymised data from the medical records of 38 general practices were investigated.

On Characterizations of Normal Distributions

Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, 1991
In this note we present a simpler proof of a known bivariate (multivariate) narmal characterization. We also give a characterization of the normal distribution based on chi-square distribution.

How “normal” is the normal distribution?

Significance, 2023
Abstract David Waynforth describes how non-normal distributions occur for good reasons in human biology, and can be invaluable when teaching medical ...

A NEW CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION AND TEST FOR NORMALITY

Econometric Theory, 2015
We study the asymptotic covariance function of the sample mean and quantile, and derive a new and surprising characterization of the normal distribution: the asymptotic covariance between the sample mean and quantile is constant across all quantiles,if and only ifthe underlying distribution is normal.

IS INTELLIGENCE DISTRIBUTED NORMALLY?

British Journal of Statistical Psychology, 1963
Frequency distributions obtained on applying intelligence tests to large samples of the school population are analysed, and compared with those given by the formulae for the commoner types of frequency curve. It is noted that the distributions actually observed are more asymmetrical and have longer tails than that described by the normal curve.

Why are Normal Distributions Normal?

The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2014
It is usually supposed that the central limit theorem explains why various quantities we find in nature are approximately normally distributed—people's heights, examination grades, snowflake sizes, and so on. This sort of explanation is found in many textbooks across the sciences, particularly in biology, economics, and sociology.
