Journal ArticleDOI
C-Reactive protein predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.
TL;DR: Although values for blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and normalized protein catabolic rate were significantly less among patients who died, these parameters, as well as cholesterol level and diabetes, were not important predictors of death in multivariate analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fragile X Premutation Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome: Molecular, Clinical, and Neuroimaging Correlates
Sébastien Jacquemont,Randi J Hagerman,Maureen A. Leehey,Jim Grigsby,Lin Zhang,James A. Brunberg,Claudia M. Greco,Vincent des Portes,Tristan Jardini,Richard A. Levine,Elizabeth Berry-Kravis,W. Ted Brown,Stephane Schaeffer,John T. Kissel,Flora Tassone,Paul J. Hagerman +15 more
TL;DR: The clinical presentation of these patients, coupled with a specific lesion visible on magnetic resonance imaging and with neuropathological findings, affords a more complete delineation of this fragile X premutation-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome and distinguishes it from other movement disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Penetrance of the Fragile X–Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome in a Premutation Carrier Population
Sébastien Jacquemont,Randi J Hagerman,Maureen A. Leehey,Deborah A. Hall,Richard A. Levine,James A. Brunberg,Lin Zhang,Tristan Jardini,Louise W. Gane,Susan W. Harris,Kristin Herman,James P. Grigsby,Claudia M. Greco,Elizabeth Berry-Kravis,Flora Tassone,Paul J. Hagerman +15 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that older male carriers of premutation alleles of the FMR1 gene are at high risk of developing fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), and older men with ataxia and intention tremor should be screened for the F MR1 mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive species profiling? Exploring the characteristics of non-native fishes across invasion stages in California
TL;DR: A data base on fish invasions in catchments throughout California is developed that distinguishes among the establishment, spread and integration stages of the invasion process, and separates social and biological factors related to invasion success.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementations of the Monte Carlo EM Algorithm
Richard A. Levine,George Casella +1 more
TL;DR: The Monte Carlo EM (MCEM) algorithm is a modification of the EM algorithm where the expectation in the E-step is computed numerically through Monte Carlo simulations and an automated rule is applied for increasing the Monte Carlo sample size whenthe Monte Carlo error overwhelms the EM estimate at any given iteration.
