Safety, adherence and efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors: a retrospective real-world study
Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2022 Introduction PCSK9 inhibitors demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular events in landmark trials. It remains unclear whether the results can be translated to Asian populations. This study

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2003 Background This research examined the use of the propensity score method to compare proxy-completed responses to self-completed responses in the first three baseline cohorts of the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey, administered in 1998, 1999, and 2000 ...

Differential and Joint Effects of Metformin and Statins on Overall Survival of Elderly Patients with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Large Population-Based Study. [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Published evidence indicates that individual use of metformin and statin is associated with reduced cancer mortality. However, their differential and joint effects on pancreatic cancer survival are inconclusive.Methods: We identified a large ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Covariate adjusted nonparametric methods under propensity analysis
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and StatisticsPropensity score is one of the most commonly used score functions in adjusting for covariates effect in statistical inference. It is important to understand the impact with propensity score in case some of the prespecified covariates are severely ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

An Adjustment of Survey Data Using Propensity Score Weighting
Kodo Keiryogaku (The Japanese Journal of Behaviormetrics), 2007 This study proposes the adoption of a neural network as an alternative to logistic regression analysis, which is conventionally used to estimate the propensity score (Rosenbaum & Rubin, 1983). Moreover, covariates that are frequently obscured are presented.Considering the response pattern to a mail survey by random sampling as a criterion, we examined ...
