Functional Status and Survival After Kidney Transplantation [PDF]

Transplantation, 2014
Older patients constitute a growing proportion of U.S. kidney transplant recipients and often have a high burden of comorbidities. A summary measure of health such as functional status might enable transplant professionals to better evaluate and counsel these patients about their prognosis after transplant.We linked United Network for Organ Sharing ...

Kinetics of a Diffusive Capture Process: Lamb Besieged by a Pride of Lions

, 1996
The survival probability, S_N(t), of a diffusing prey (``lamb'') in the proximity of N diffusing predators (a ``pride of lions'') in one dimension is investigated.

Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

Random Survival Forest for Censored Functional Data

Statistics in Medicine
ABSTRACTThis article introduces a Random Survival Forest (RSF) method for functional data. The focus is specifically on defining a new functional data structure, the Censored Functional Data (CFD), for addressing the challenge of accurately modelling time‐to‐event data in the presence of censoring and irregular temporal structures. Traditional survival

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

A generating function approach to branching random walks

, 2016
It is well known that the behaviour of a branching process is completely described by the generating function of the offspring law and its fixed points.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
