Adjuvanting an inactivated influenza vaccine with flagellin improves the function and quantity of the long-term antibody response in a nonhuman primate neonate model

TL;DR: The results support the use of flagellin in neonates as an adjuvant that promotes long-lived, high affinity antibody responses that result in long term immune responses in Neonates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Research Pearls: The Significance of Statistics and Perils of Pooling. Part 2: Predictive Modeling.

TL;DR: The focus of predictive modeling or predictive analytics is to use statistical techniques to predict outcomes and/or the results of an intervention or observation for patients that are conditional on a specific set of measurements taken on the patients prior to the outcomes occurring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pioglitazone-Mediated Changes in Lipoprotein Particle Composition Are Predicted by Changes in Adiponectin Level in Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: Increased adiponectin contributed to treatment-related benefit in lipoprotein cardiovascular disease risk factors in obese diabetic subjects treated with pioglitazone, and this results provide support for a model that mechanistically links changes in adiponECTin level to changes inlipoprotein composition in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robustness of Location Estimators under Changes of Population Kurtosis

TL;DR: In this article, the robustness of various estimators of the mean for two families of symmetric distributions (exponential power and t) indexed by the kurtosis γ and Hogg's (1972) measure of tail thickness Q was investigated.
