Patient anxiety and modern elective surgery: a literature review [PDF]
, 2003 Medical advances have led to a considerable rise in the level of elective surgery undertaken as day-case surgery and with minimal hospital stay. However, amid such advances, preoperative psychological care has remained relatively static.

Biologic: Gene circuits and feedback in an introductory physics sequence for biology and premedical students [PDF]
, 2013 Two synthetic gene circuits -- the genetic toggle switch and the repressilator -- are analyzed quantitatively and discussed in the context of an educational module on gene circuits and feedback that constitutes the final topic of a year-long introductory physics sequence, aimed at biology and premedical undergraduate students. The genetic toggle switch

Variable importance for causal forests: breaking down the heterogeneity of treatment effects [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Causal random forests provide efficient estimates of heterogeneous treatment effects. However, forest algorithms are also well-known for their black-box nature, and therefore, do not characterize how input variables are involved in treatment effect heterogeneity, which is a strong practical limitation.

Acute effects of beta-blocker with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity on stress-induced cardiac dysfunction in rats [PDF]
, 2012 BackgroundWe have reported that α and β adrenergic blockers could protect against emotional stress-induced cardiac dysfunction but those protective effects of β adrenergic blockers with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA), such as celiprolol, are ...

AdaptiveConformal: An R Package for Adaptive Conformal Inference [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Conformal Inference (CI) is a popular approach for generating finite sample prediction intervals based on the output of any point prediction method when data are exchangeable. Adaptive Conformal Inference (ACI) algorithms extend CI to the case of sequentially observed data, such as time series, and exhibit strong theoretical guarantees without having ...

The Boltzmann factor, DNA melting, and Brownian ratchets: Topics in an introductory physics sequence for biology and premedical students [PDF]
, 2011 Three, interrelated biologically-relevant examples of biased random walks are presented: (1) A model for DNA melting, modelled as DNA unzipping, which provides a way to illustrate the role of the Boltzmann factor in a venue well-known to biology and pre-medical students; (2) the activity of helicase motor proteins in unzipping double-stranded DNA, for ...
