Personalization and probabilities: Impersonal propensities in online grocery shopping [PDF]

Big Data & Society, 2018
Accounts of big data practices often assume that they target individuals. Personalization, with all the risks of discrimination and bias it entails, has been the critical focus in accounts of consumption, government, social media, and health. This paper argues that personalization through models using large-scale data is part of a more expansive change

“Low‐Positive” MOG‐IgG Cases Among Adults With a First Event Suggestive of Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with “low‐positive” (LP) MOG‐IgG (titres 1:160–1:320) among adults with a first demyelinating event (FDE) suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods From the Barcelona CIS inception cohort, we included adult patients with serum collected ≤ 6 months from the FDE.

An empirical study on the possible combinations of missing data imputation and propensity score adjustment techniques [PDF]

, 2022
openNegli studi osservazionali la stima dell'effetto causale può essere soggetta a distorsione dovuta alla presenza di confondenti. I metodi basati sul propensity score sono comunemente utilizzati per correggere le stime da tale distorsione.

Anti‐CD20 Discontinuation Versus Continuation in People Aged Over 50 With Non‐Active Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether discontinuing anti‐CD20 therapy in people with relapsing‐onset MS aged over 50 is associated with an increased risk of relapse, inflammatory activity, confirmed disability accrual, and serious infection compared with continuing therapy.

High levels of propensity selects for lower optimal probability of spacer acquisition.

, 2022
A control strain with a probability of acquisition at 10−5 competes with a strain of interest, with various acquisition probabilities. Both strains defend using a type I/II CRISPR-Cas system (μ = 3.4 * 10−7). For each propensity (0.004, 0.04, 0.4, 4, 40,

Troponin T and Neurofilament Light Chain Levels as Complementary Biomarkers of Disease Accumulation and Aggressiveness in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a clinically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease requiring reliable biomarkers to improve patient stratification and trial design. While serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) reflects neuroaxonal stress and disease aggressiveness, troponin T (TnT) may capture complementary aspects of ...
