Article Abstract
There are several statistical programmes to compute direct adjusted survival estimates from results of the Cox proportional hazards model. However, when used to analyze observational databases with large sample sizes or highly stratified treatment groups such as in registry-related datasets, these programmes are inefficient or unable to generate confidence bands and simultaneous p values. Also, these programmes do not consider potential left-truncation in retrospectively collected data. To address these deficiencies we developed a new SAS macro %adjsurvlt() able to produce direct adjusted survival estimates based on a stratified Cox model. The macro has improved computational performance and is able to handle left-truncated and right-censored time-to-event data. Several mechanisms were implemented to improve computational efficiency including choosing matrix operations over do-loops and reducing dimensions of co-variate matrices. Compared to the latest SAS macro, %adjsurvlt() used < 0.1% computational time to process a dataset with 100 treatment cohorts and a sample size of 20,000 and showed similar computational efficiency when analyzing left-truncated and right-censored data. We illustrate use of %adjsurvlt() to compare retrospectively collected survival data of 2 transplant cohorts.

Is the Mineral Content of Muscle Tissue () in Cattle Finished During the Rainy Season in the Eastern Amazon Influenced by Different Farming Systems?
Animals (Basel)
July 2025
Postgraduate Program in Animal Science (PPGCAN), Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Federal University of Para (UFPA), Castanhal 68746-360, Brazil.
The scientific literature currently lacks studies that evaluate the nutritional composition of the tissues of cattle raised in different systems, so that the nutritional effects can be known and used to enhance consumption and use in the diet. The aim was therefore to assess whether the mineral content of muscle tissue () in cattle finished during the rainy season in the Eastern Amazon is influenced by different farming systems. The treatments consisted of four systems (three pasture production systems and one feedlot system).

Background: The positive relationship between health and good perceived social support has been widely demonstrated in the scientific literature. It is known that having a good social support influences the proper maintenance of health even as a protective factor, besides being a good predictor in the recovery of health during a disease process, influencing differently men and women.
Aim: This project aims to study the moderating effects of perceived social support in the relationship between depression and self-perceived health according to gender, after a complex multiple-risk intervention was carried out in patients of primary health care with low social support.

Plastic pollution has been identified as a major threat to marine life and ecosystems, but their biological impacts are still largely unknown. Coral reefs, which are one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth that provide essential ecological and economical services, are now recognized to be impacted by plastic pollution from the surface to the deep. Here, we investigated the impact of colonized macro- and microplastics on the microbiome of the most emblematic cold-water coral, Lophelia pertusa.

This study aimed to assess the impact of fermentation product (SCFP) on digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and plasma metabolome of Holstein steers fed a high-grain diet. Steers were fed diet with 80% concentrate and 20% corn silage once daily ad libitum. Steers were stratified based on initial body weight (BW) and randomly assigned to two treatments: 1) control (CON), a basal diet without SCFP; 2) basal diet + 12 g/head/day SCFP, top-dressed.

The study aims to explore the relationship between mindfulness, rumination thinking, anxiety state, and depressed mood, and the chain mediating roles of rumination thinking and anxiety state in explaining how mindfulness influences depressed mood in infertile women. This cross-sectional study included 946 women with infertility from a maternal and child hospital in western China through convenience sampling. Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Rumination Response Scale (RRS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were measured as outcome indicators.
