Cognitive function in families with exceptional survival [PDF]

Neurobiology of Aging, 2012
The authors investigated whether cognitive function may be used as an endophenotype for longevity by assessing the cognitive performance of a family-based cohort consisting of 1380 individuals from 283 families recruited for exceptional survival in field centers in Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, and Denmark.

θ-Weighted mixture distribution: the Weibull-Lomax case

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
IntroductionThis article introduces a new family of weighted mixture distributions, referred to as θ-WM. The θ-WM family is generated by combining two distributions weighted by a parameter θ, offering notable flexibility to model a wide range of complex ...

Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

Explicit solution of an inverse first-passage time problem for L\'{e}vy processes and counterparty credit risk

, 2015
For a given Markov process $X$ and survival function $\overline{H}$ on $\mathbb{R}^+$, the inverse first-passage time problem (IFPT) is to find a barrier function $b:\mathbb{R}^+\to[-\infty,+\infty]$ such that the survival function of the first-passage ...

The Fate (Outcome) of Clinically Apparent Single Lesion and Oligofocal Nephroblastomatosis Treated According to SIOP/GPOH Protocols for Wilms Tumor

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between

Neurobehavioral Functioning and Survival Following Lung Transplantation [PDF]

Chest, 2014
Neurobehavioral functioning is widely recognized as being an important consideration in lung transplant candidates, but little is known about whether these factors are related to clinical outcomes. The present study examined the relationship of neurobehavioral functioning, including measures of executive function and memory, depression, and anxiety, to
