Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Airway obstruction secondary to chyle leak is an exceptionally rare phenomenon. Here, we describe this complication in a patient with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) undergoing consolidative surgery after BRAF‐targeted therapy. Methods A 55‐year‐old man presented with a rapidly enlarging neck mass.

Nutritional Regulation Influencing Colony Dynamics and Task Allocations in Social Insect Colonies [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this paper, we use an adaptive modeling framework to model and study how nutritional status (measured by the protein to carbohydrate ratio) may regulate population dynamics and foraging task allocation of social insect colonies. Mathematical analysis of our model shows that both investment to brood rearing and brood nutrition are important for ...

Functional Calibration under Non-Probability Survey Sampling [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Non-probability sampling is prevailing in survey sampling, but ignoring its selection bias leads to erroneous inferences. We offer a unified nonparametric calibration method to estimate the sampling weights for a non-probability sample by calibrating functions of auxiliary variables in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space.
