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.

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.

A bayesian approach to the constant hazard model with a change point and an application to breast cancer data
TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian approach to the problem of constant hazard with a change point is considered using non-informative priors, and applied the model to a data set gathered from a group of patients with breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Race and Homicide in the U.S. National Longitudinal Mortality Study
TL;DR: This paper examined long-term trends and socioeconomic and structural covariates of homicide victimization and examined black race as a risk factor, and whether its effect would be eliminated if appropriate controls are made for indicators of disadvantage, such as unemployment, low educational attainment, and low income.
Dissertation
Analysis of recent male nuptiality, sexual behaviour and fertility patterns in Tanzania and Zimbabwe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the determinants of male demography, sexual behaviour and fertility patterns from the perspective of women and found that most of the socio-economic characteristics are not very important determinants in these two countries, while polygamy remains popular in Tanzania, where the proportion of men in polygamous unions is more than twice that in Zimbabwe.

Assessment of age at first parturition by accounting censored data: the example of small ruminants in agropastoral herds in Senegal
Matthieu Lesnoff,Renaud Lancelot +1 more
TL;DR: The article reports the AFP probability distributions calculated on goats and sheep herds monitored for more than 10 years in three low-input livestock farming systems located from northern to southern Senegal and representing different agroecological conditions and animal phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of graft and patient survival following renal transplantation and evaluation of serum creatinine as a predictor of survival: a review of data collected from one clinical centre over 34 years.
TL;DR: Serum creatinine levels are a reliable predictor of graft survival, and patient and graft survival improved markedly over the 34-year study period, although patient survival has changed little since 1990.
