Geometry of fitness landscapes: Peaks, shapes and universal positive epistasis [PDF]

Journal of Mathematical Biology 86:62 (2023), 2021
Darwinian evolution is driven by random mutations, genetic recombination (gene shuffling) and selection that favors genotypes with high fitness. For systems where each genotype can be represented as a bitstring of length $L$, an overview of possible evolutionary trajectories is provided by the $L$-cube graph with nodes labeled by genotypes and edges ...

Cost‐effectiveness of second‐line therapies in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 122-130, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Major options for second‐line therapy in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) include splenectomy, rituximab, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TRAs). The American Society of Hematology guidelines recommend rituximab over splenectomy, TRAs over rituximab, and splenectomy or TRAs while noting a lack of evidence on the cost ...
