Confidence Intervals for a Proportion Estimated From Pooled Samples Based on Firth's Corrected Score

Biometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Interval estimation of a proportion estimated from testing of pooled samples has been studied by a variety of researchers, who have examined both exact and asymptotic methods. Recent work in point estimation has seen the use of Firth's correction to maximum likelihood estimation to reduce bias effectively. We consider the Firth‐corrected score

Occurrence of Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Viral Meningitis and Encephalitis

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Hearing loss in viral neuroinfections is poorly investigated. The present study aimed to clarify if hearing loss can develop in viral meningitis and encephalitis. An OAE (oto‐acoustic emission) was measured in adult patients with viral meningitis and encephalitis on the day of admission and 30–60 days after discharge.
