Clinical Significance of Therapeutic Drug Level Monitoring for Mycophenolate in Patients With Extrarenal Systemic Lupus Erythematosus—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Clinical response to mycophenolic acid (MPA) is highly heterogeneous; thus, therapeutic drug level monitoring (TDM) may help improve treatment efficacy. This systematic review and meta‐analysis examined therapeutic ranges for MPA levels associated with better outcomes and safety in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...

Cumulative Social Disadvantage and Disease Activity in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Social determinants of health (SDOH) contribute to juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) disparities, but most studies have assessed SDOH independently rather than cumulatively across individual, family, and neighborhood levels. Using a socioecological framework, we investigated the relationship among cumulative social disadvantage ...

Random number generators are chaotic

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 1989
We observe that pseudo-random number generators, familiar to all programmers, are examples of deterministic chaotic dynamical systems. We discuss the implications of this finding and compare computer generation of pseudo-random numbers to the theoretical ideal of a (noncomputable) random sequence.

Random Number Generation [PDF]

open access: possible, 2011
The fields of probability and statistics are built over the abstract concepts of probability space and random variable. This has given rise to elegant and powerful mathematical theory, but exact implementation of these concepts on conventional computers seems impossible.

A random number generator based on elliptic curve operations

open access: yesComputers and Mathematics With Applications, 2004
A random number generator based on the addition of points on an elliptic curve over finite fields is proposed. By using the proposed generator together with the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) algorithm, we can save hardware and software components ...

Uniform Random Number Generators

Journal of the ACM, 1965
Abstract : This paper discusses the testing of methods for generating uniform numbers in a computer--the commonly used multiplicative and mixed congruential generators as well as two methods. Tests proposed here are more stringent than those usually applied, because the usual tests for randomness have passed several of the commonly used pprocedures ...

Random-number generators

Computers and Biomedical Research, 1968
Abstract A commonly used uniform random-number generator is examined in light of a genetic-simulation problem. Although this generator is often useful, it proves defective in this case. The author suggests that any proposed generator be checked for the properties needed by the simulation problem at hand.

Random number generators for microcomputers

Computer Programs in Biomedicine, 1983
The feasibility of random number generation using microcomputers is discussed and the appropriateness of alternative algorithms is evaluated on the basis of several criteria of statistical randomness. The relative deficiencies of each algorithm are cited and a modified Fibonacci generator is recommended for use in the microcomputer environment.

Random number generators

Preprints of papers presented at the 14th national meeting of the Association for Computing Machinery on - ACM '59, 1959
One requirement common to all Monte Carlo computer simulations is an abundant and automatic supply of random numbers. For most purposes it generally suffices to draw this supply from the uniform distribution in the unit interval. The mathematical tricks used to convert these samplings to samplings from other distributions are well-known.

Quantum random number generator vs. random number generator

2016 International Conference on Communications (COMM), 2016
A random number generator produces a periodic sequence of numbers on a computer. The starting point can be random, but after it is chosen, everything else is deterministic.
