Mineral Metabolism, Mortality, and Morbidity in Maintenance Hemodialysis

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

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.
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.

When to initiate, when to switch, and how to sequence hiv therapies: a markov decision process approach

TL;DR: The challenge of effectively managing HIV therapies is addressed, with a goal of maximizing a patient's expected lifetime or quality-adjusted lifetime, and a Markov decision process (MDP) model is developed that examines this question, and is solved using clinical data.

Modelling the length of time spent in an unemployment state in South Africa

TL;DR: In this article, the potential effects of genetic modification of Bt maize on the community composition and functions of bacterial endophytes associated with transgenic maize (Bt MON 810) in comparison with its isogenic parental line at two developmental stages.

Different policing rates of eggs laid by queenright and queenless anarchistic honey-bee workers (Apis mellifera L.)

TL;DR: It is shown that eggs laid by queenless anarchistic workers do not escape policing and have very similar removal rates to worker-laid eggs from queenless wild-type (i.e. non-anarchistic) colonies.

A cost-effectiveness analysis of first-line induction and maintenance treatment sequences in patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer in France

TL;DR: In the absence of direct comparative trial evidence, this cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that of a large number of I–M sequences used for the treatment of patients with nsqNSCLC in France, pemetrexed + cisplatin → pemetrezed achieved the best clinical outcomes.

Fitting a Semi-Parametric Mixture Model for Competing Risks in Survival Data

TL;DR: In this paper, a Cox proportional hazards model is used to estimate the probability of cause-specific failure with regard to both the timing and type of failure in a prostate cancer data set.
