Upacicalcet: A Novel Intravenous Calcimimetic Agent for Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in patients receiving maintenance dialysis, driven by calcium and phosphate metabolism disturbances. Calcimimetics are central to the management of SHPT by enhancing calcium‐sensing receptor sensitivity and reducing parathyroid hormone secretion.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

New Class of Estimators for Finite Population Mean Under Stratified Double Phase Sampling with Simulation and Real-Life Application

Mathematics
Sampling survey data can sometimes contain outlier observations. When the mean estimator becomes skewed due to the presence of extreme values in the sample, results can be biased. The tendency to remove outliers from sample data is common.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT USING AN INTEGRATED MODEL OF SUPER EFFICIENCY MODELS AND MANAGERS PREFERENCES; THE CASE OF MASKAN BANK [PDF]

فصلنامه پژوهش‌های اقتصادی ایران, 2010
DEA models that calculate the efficiency index with respect to inputs and outputs are commonly used in recent years. Although flexibility is one of the key characteristics of DEA models, specially where data is abundant, they overestimate the efficiency ...

Efficient Difference and Ratio-Type Imputation Methods under Ranked Set Sampling

Axioms, 2023
It is well known that ranked set sampling (RSS) is more efficient than simple random sampling (SRS). Furthermore, the presence of missing data vitiates the conventional results.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

A Novel Robust Transformation Approach to Finite Population Median Estimation Using Monte Carlo Simulation and Empirical Data

Axioms
This study develops an improved family of estimators for estimating the finite population median within a two-phase sampling method. The proposed estimators, which use transformation techniques to reduce survey costs when full auxiliary information is ...

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.
