Ozonation is an efficient alternative to the treatment of wastewater containing organic complexed metals [3]. Ozone is an unstable gas; therefore its generation should be carried out in situ. The commercially available technology for ozone generation is based on the corona discharge process, which ...
Fig. 1. Diagram of transitions in the partitioned survival model used to estimate health economics outcomes. The model estimates the probability of being in each of the three health states at the end of each week. Survival estimates from the progression-free survival (PFS) curve provide the pr...
In a pilot, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, Jacoby et al (2016) evaluated the feasibility of a full-scale placebo-controlled trial of (MRgFUS and obtained estimates of safety and effectiveness. Pre-menopausal women with symptomatic uterine fibroids were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive...
By 2020, the WHO estimates that 73% of HIV-positive persons will receive lifelong ART. Early access to ART and assistance for adherence are crucial for HIV patients’ health and prevention of transmission. By the end of 2020, 27.5 million people worldwide have received ART. In 2021, the ...
Because the DEA-Tobit regression model with panel data does not have consistent and unbiased parameter estimates obtained under the fixed effects, the random effects estimation method is used in this study, referring to the parameter estimation recommendations presented by Liu et al.54 Measurements of...
(e.g.,N < 100 participants for MRI/EEG studies), which are unlikely to allow for reliable estimates of the associations of genetic and brain biomarkers with measures of clinical effectiveness [125,126]. The field needs to move towards systematic replication and out-of-sample validation of...
their application remains contentious.4 This is because the absence of randomization means that treatment choice is usually influenced by the clinician's perception of the effectiveness of the treatments being considered.5 Hence, baseline imbalances that can bias estimates of treatment effectiveness are ...
Nanoceria or cerium oxide nanoparticles characterised by the co-existing of Ce3+ and Ce4+ that allows self-regenerative, redox-responsive dual-catalytic ac
The build-up of fluid in the peritoneal cavity—ascites—is a hallmark of ovarian cancer, the most lethal of all gynaecological malignancies. This remarkable fluid, which contains a variety of cellular and acellular components, is known to contribute to
There have been at least 8 million cases of COVID-19 in the United States and over 1 million deaths reported by the CDC to date, with initial estimates on the annual incidence of CARDS probably exceeding that of classical ARDS by at least two-fold [11]. The incidence of ARDS during ...
