TL;DR: This preconception cohort study suggests no clear signal that human semen quality is associated with offspring sex determination, and only the percentage of bicephalic sperm was significantly associated with the SSR.

TL;DR: This article examines study level (aggregate) multivariate meta-data from 26 Merck sponsored double-blind, randomized, active, or placebo-controlled clinical trials on adult patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and proposes a methodology for carrying out Bayesian inference for multivariateMeta-regression models with study level data when the within-study sample covariance matrix S for the multivariate response data is partially observed.

TL;DR: Despite suggestions from prior studies of male in utero exposures impacting BW and male reproductive health, there appears to be little support for such relations in this generally healthy population.

TL;DR: A flexible Bayesian semiparametric approach is proposed to model the longitudinal exposure profiles of the cases and controls and then use measures of cumulative exposure based on a weighted integral of this trajectory in the final disease risk model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new mixture model via latent cure rate markers for survival data with a cure fraction was proposed to address an important risk classification issue that arises in clinical practice, and patients who share the same cure rate are classified into the same risk group.
