Mixture randomized item-response modeling:a smoking behavior validation study [PDF]

, 2013
Misleading response behavior is expected in medical settings where incriminating behavior is negatively related to the recovery from a disease. In the present study, lung patients feel social and professional pressure concerning smoking and experience ...

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Effect of DFPP on Ferroptosis in Peripheral Blood CD14+ Monocytes of Hyperlipidemic Patients Involving the ACSL4/LPCAT3/ALOX5 Pathway

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although statins are the cornerstone of lipid‐lowering therapy, their use may be limited in some patients by adverse effects. This study evaluated the possible impact of non‐drug treatment using double‐filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) on CD14+

sanon: An R Package for Stratified Analysis with Nonparametric Covariable Adjustment

Journal of Statistical Software, 2015
Kawaguchi, Koch, and Wang (2011) provide methodology and applications for a stratified Mann-Whitney estimator that addresses the same comparison between two randomized groups for a strictly ordinal response variable as the van Elteren test statistic for ...

Sex-specific response to whole-body vibration training: a randomized controlled trial

Biology of Sport, 2021
A few studies have indicated that males and females respond differently to whole-body vibration (WBV) training. However, the existing insights are still insufficient and they cannot be transferred to sex-specific practice planning. To evaluate the effect

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: Awareness, Knowledge Gaps, and Readiness for Service Expansion Among Healthcare Professionals

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is a specialized extracorporeal blood purification modality used in the management of complex hematologic, neurologic, and autoimmune diseases. Despite established global guidelines, its utilization in Nigeria remains largely undocumented.
