TL;DR: The aim of the present paper is to provide an overview of state-of-the-art dose-response analysis, both in terms of general concepts that have evolved and matured over the years and by means of concrete examples.

TL;DR: A unified diagnostic framework with the R package nlstools is introduced and the various features of the package are presented and exemplified using a worked example from pulmonary medicine.

TL;DR: Acute wheezy episodes in young children were significantly associated with bacterial infections similar to but independent of the association with virus infections.

TL;DR: Variation at the chromosome 17q12-q21 locus was associated with approximately twofold increased risk of recurrent wheeze, asthma, asthma exacerbations, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness from early infancy to school age but without conferring risk of eczema, rhinitis, or allergic sensitization.

TL;DR: The objective of this work was to explore the large number of bacterial growth models recently proposed in the field of predictive microbiology, concerning their capacity to give reliable estimates of the lag phase duration (lambda), and to compare their underlying biological explanations, mathematical formulation and statistical fitting properties.
