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.

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.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy or Primary Surgery in Stage IIIC or IV Ovarian Cancer
Ignace Vergote,Claes G. Tropé,Frédéric Amant,G.B. Kristensen,Tom Ehlen,N Johnson,René H.M. Verheijen,Maria E. L. van der Burg,A. J. Lacave,Pierluigi Benedetti Panici,Gemma G. Kenter,Antonio Casado,Cesar Mendiola,Corneel Coens,Leen Verleye,Gavin Stuart,Sergio Pecorelli,Nicholas Reed +17 more
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.

Association of HIV and Opportunistic Infections With Incident Stroke: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study in Taiwan.
Yung Feng Yen,Yung Feng Yen,Yung Feng Yen,Marcelo Chen,I-An Jen,Yu Ching Lan,Pei Hung Chuang,Yen Ling Liu,Yun Lee,Yi Ming Arthur Chen +9 more
TL;DR: Patients with HIV had an increased risk of stroke, particularly those with cryptococcal meningitis, cytomegalovirus, or P. marneffei infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Site-specific prolapse surgery. I. Reliability and durability of native tissue paravaginal repair
TL;DR: Site-specific re-suture of torn native tissue has genuine curative potential and most of the long-term success was attributable to site-specific repair, rather than non-specific scar formation.

Recursive Least Squares for Censored Regression
Zhaoting Liu,Chunguang Li +1 more
TL;DR: Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation indicate that the CR-RLS performs significantly better than other competing algorithms in terms of both the estimation accuracy and convergence rate.

The Recidivism of Offenders Given Suspended Sentences: A Comparison with Full-Time Imprisonment
TL;DR: For offenders with no prior prison sentence, there was no statistically significant difference in re-offending between offenders who received a suspended sentence and those who had received a prison sentence as mentioned in this paper.

A semi-Markov model for stroke with piecewise-constant hazards in the presence of left, right and interval censoring.
TL;DR: This paper presents a parametric method of fitting semi-Markov models with piecewise-constant hazards in the presence of left, right and interval censoring, and investigates transition intensities in a three-state illness–death model with no recovery.
