Article Abstract

This paper proposes a mixture regression model for competing risks data, where the logistic regression model is specified for the marginal probabilities of the failure types and the mean residual lifetime (MRL) model is assumed for the failure time given the failure of interest. The estimating equations (EEs) are derived to infer the logistic regression and MRL model separately. We further consider the situation where the covariates are subject to measurement error. The presence of measurement error imposes extra challenges for the analysis of complex time-to-event data. By using the above EEs as the correction-amenable original estimating functions, we propose a corrected score estimation, which does not require specifying the distributions for unobserved error-prone covariates. The proposed estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. The performance of the method is investigated by intensive simulation studies and two real examples are presented to illustrate the proposed methods.

Modelling cardiovascular disease is at the forefront of efforts to use computational tools to assist in the analysis and forecasting of an individual's state of health. To build trust in such tools, it is crucial to understand how different approaches perform when applied to a nominally identical scenario, both singularly and across a population. To examine such differences, we have studied the flow in aneurysms located on the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery using the commercial solver Ansys CFX and the open-source code HemeLB.

Purpose: The present study aimed to develop a noninvasive predictive framework that integrates clinical data, conventional radiomics, habitat imaging, and deep learning for the preoperative stratification of MGMT gene promoter methylation in glioma.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 410 patients from the University of California, San Francisco, USA, and 102 patients from our hospital. Seven models were constructed using preoperative contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI with gadobenate dimeglumine as the contrast agent.

Background: Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality worldwide, is characterized by dysregulated lipid metabolism and unresolved inflammation. Macrophage-derived foam cell formation and apoptosis contribute to plaque formation and vulnerability. Elevated serum galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels are associated with increased CVD risk, and Gal-3 in plaques is strongly associated with macrophages.

Background: Labor shortages in health care pose significant challenges to sustaining high-quality care for people with intellectual disabilities. Social robots show promise in supporting both people with intellectual disabilities and their health care professionals; yet, few are fully developed and embedded in productive care environments. Implementation of such technologies is inherently complex, requiring careful examination of facilitators and barriers influencing sustained use.
