Abstract Background Volunteering Patio Cover participants in disease studies tend to be healthier than the general population partially due to specific enrollment criteria.Using modeling to accurately predict outcomes of cohort studies enrolling volunteers requires adjusting for the bias introduced in this way.Here we propose a new method to accoun
Introduction Biologic and small-molecule therapies have revolutionised the treatment of moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).A significant proportion of patients experience early or delayed treatment failure.Patients with IBD with greater visceral obesity are less likely to respond to biologics.Sarcopenia has been identified as a pre
The precision of the 137Cs fallout redistribution technique for the evaluation of soil erosion rates is strongly dependent on the quality of an average inventory taken at a representative reference site.The knowledge of the sources and of the degree of variation of the 137Cs fallout spatial distribution plays an important role on its use.Four refer
Site-2 proteases (S2P) belong to the M50 family of metalloproteases, which typically perform essential roles by mediating activation of membrane-bound transcription factors through regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP).Protease-dependent liberation of dormant transcription factors triggers diverse cellular responses, such as sterol regulation,
Abstract Log normal-like concentration distributions are ubiquitously observed in the environment.However, the mechanistic Patio Cover origins are not well understood.In this paper, we show that first order exponential kinetics onsets log-normal concentration distributions, under certain assumptions.Given the ubiquity of exponential kinetics, e.g.,
