Individual Welfare Gains from Deferred Life-Annuities under Stochastic Lee-Carter Mortality [PDF]

A deferred annuity typically includes an option-like right for the policyholder. At the end of the deferment period, he may either choose to receive annuity payouts, calculated based on a mortality table agreed to at contract inception, or receive the ...

Intravascular Lithotripsy in Left Main Stem Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background IVL is increasingly used for coronary calcium modification; however, prospective data for its use in LMS lesions are lacking. Aims To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and mechanical efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for calcium modification in calcified distal left main stem (LMS) percutaneous coronary intervention ...

Model‐Informed Evaluation of Hydroxyurea Exposure During Lactation

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Hydroxyurea is a cornerstone therapy for sickle cell anemia; however, evidence guiding its use during lactation remains limited. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model to characterize hydroxyurea disposition in maternal plasma and breast milk, and to quantify infant exposure under clinically relevant breastfeeding scenarios.

Beyond BMI: Unsupervised Machine Learning Clustering of Bioelectrical Impedance Phenotypes Is Associated With Weight‐Recovery Trajectories in Anorexia Nervosa

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify data‐driven body composition phenotypes in patients with moderate‐to‐extreme anorexia nervosa (AN) using machine learning (ML) clustering of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters, and to test whether these phenotypes have specific psychopathological and childhood trauma profiles while correlating with early ...

A gravity model of mortality rates for two related populations [PDF]

The mortality rate dynamics between two related but different-sized populations are modeled consistently using a new stochastic mortality model that we call the gravity model.

Disentangling the interactive effects of anthropogenic disturbances on biodiversity

Ecography, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic activity threatens biodiversity through climate change, habitat fragmentation, and increasing frequency and scale of disturbance. Various theoretical studies have sought to shed light on how these factors could promote or hinder the coexistence of species. However, our understanding of the relative importance of, and interactions between,

Elephants reshape woody vegetation dynamics in southern African savannas at local and landscape scales

Ecography, EarlyView.
Elephants and other megaherbivores can strongly modify woody vegetation, yet their influence across heterogeneous landscapes and spatial scales remains poorly resolved. Here, we combined remotely sensed time series of vegetation height (2000–2022) and woody cover (2015–2025) with elephant population counts from 34 reserves across eight southern African

Block Structure Multivariate Stochastic Volatility Models [PDF]

Most multivariate variance models suffer from a common problem, the “curse of dimensionalityâ€. For this reason, most are fitted under strong parametric restrictions that reduce the interpretation and flexibility of the models. Recently, the literature
