Dissertation
Glucose regulation and coronary artery disease : Studies on prevalence, recognition and prognostic implications
TL;DR: This thesis addresses glucose regulation in patients with coronary artery disease with the following specific aims: to investigate whether the glucometabolic state detected early after myocardial infarction relates to long-term prognosis and to study glucose tolerance in patients and population-based controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Similar policing rates of eggs laid by virgin and mated honey-bee queens.
TL;DR: The results show that mating does not affect the acceptability of eggs, suggesting that physiological changes linked to the act of mating do not play a role in the production of the queen’s egg-marking signal.
Journal Article
Determination of the Risk Factors That Influence Occurrence Time of Traffic Accidents with Survival Analysis
TL;DR: The non-occurrence rate of traffic accidents involving injury is mostly affected by gender, age, education, number of vehicles involved in accident, road surface material, daylight, type of road, direction of road and time of the day, and the number of accidents in total will decrease.
Original article Association between incidence of acute exacerbation and medication therapy in patients with COPD
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the risk of COPD-related exacerbations between groups of patients receiving inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), anticholinergics (AC), long-acting 2-agonists (LABA), or fixed-dose combinations of ICS and LABA.
Journal Article
Assessing influence in survival data with a cured fraction and covariates
TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian approach is considered using Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods with Metropolis-Hasting algorithms steps to obtain the posterior summaries of interest, such as local influence, total local influence of an individual, local influence on predictions and generalized leverage.

Mineral Metabolism, Mortality, and Morbidity in Maintenance Hemodialysis
Geoffrey A. Block,Preston S. Klassen,J. Michael Lazarus,Norma J. Ofsthun,Edmund G. Lowrie,Glenn M. Chertow +5 more
TL;DR: Hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism were significantly associated with all-cause, cardiovascular, and fracture-related hospitalization, and the population attributable risk percentage for disorders of mineral metabolism was 17.5%, owing largely to the high prevalence of hyperph phosphatemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overall Survival and Updated Results for Sunitinib Compared With Interferon Alfa in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Robert J. Motzer,Thomas E. Hutson,Piotr Tomczak,M. Dror Michaelson,Ronald M. Bukowski,Stéphane Oudard,Sylvie Negrier,Cezary Szczylik,Roberto Pili,Georg A. Bjarnason,Xavier Garcia-del-Muro,Jeffrey A. Sosman,Ewa Solska,George Wilding,John A. Thompson,Sindy T. Kim,Isan Chen,Xin Huang,Robert A. Figlin +18 more
TL;DR: Sunitinib demonstrates longer overall survival compared with IFN-alpha plus improvement in response and progression-free survival in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic RCC, highlighting an improved prognosis in patients with RCC in the era of targeted therapy.

TL;DR: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery was not inferior to primary debulked surgery followed by chemotherapy as a treatment option for patients with bulky stage IIIC or IV ovarian carcinoma in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival and Prognostic Stratification of 670 Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
TL;DR: Five prognostic factors for predicting survival were identified and used to categorize patients with metastatic RCC into three risk groups, for which the median survival times were separated by 6 months or more.
