Using an Instrumental Variable to Test for Unmeasured Confounding [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine 2014, Volume 33, Issue 20, Pages 3528-3546, 2016
An important concern in an observational study is whether or not there is unmeasured confounding, i.e., unmeasured ways in which the treatment and control groups differ before treatment that affect the outcome. We develop a test of whether there is unmeasured confounding when an instrumental variable (IV) is available.

Bayesian Inference of Individualized Treatment Effects using Multi-task Gaussian Processes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Predicated on the increasing abundance of electronic health records, we investi- gate the problem of inferring individualized treatment effects using observational data. Stemming from the potential outcomes model, we propose a novel multi- task learning framework in which factual and counterfactual outcomes are mod- eled as the outputs of a function in

Gene Therapy Using Recombinant AAV Type 8 Vector Encoding TNAP‐D10 Improves the Skeletal Phenotypes in Murine Models of Osteomalacia

open access: yesJBMR Plus, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Hypophosphatasia (HPP), caused by loss‐of‐function mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), is characterized by skeletal and dental hypomineralization that can vary in severity from life‐threatening to milder manifestations only in adulthood.

Measurement invariance analysis of the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale - Research Short Form in mothers of premature and term infants

open access: yesBMC Research Notes
Objective Mothers of premature infants are more likely to develop anxiety during the first postpartum year than mothers of term infants. However, commonly used measures of anxiety were developed for general adult populations and may produce spurious ...

Built‐In Electric Field Effects Tailoring Solvation Sheath and Desolvation Processes of Solvated Zn2+ Toward Stable Aqueous Rocking‐Chair Zinc‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
TiO2/TiSe2–C heterointerfaces can create built‐in electric fields (BEFs) effects, and the intercalation mechanism is converted from the of Zn(H2O)62+ to smaller Zn(H2O)22+, featuring lower charge transfer energy barriers, faster ion transfer kinetics, suppression of HER, increased Ti–Se bond strength, and enhanced structural stabilities.

Factors associated with maternal stress while caring for premature infants at home

open access: yesHealthcare in Low-resource Settings
The occurrence of stress in mothers with premature infants is known to have a negative impact on both mothers and their infants. To overcome the condition, nurses must understand its influential factors to provide effective assistance.

Relationship between Oxytocin and Growth in Premature Infants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Infants born extremely premature (less than 29 weeks gestation) are at high-risk for inadequate growth because of the effects of acute illness. Researchers have demonstrated that these infants are often discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit ...
