Variation in heart disease mortality across census tracts as a function of overdispersion and social class mixture.

Variation in heart disease (HD) mortality rates across census tracts is greater than expected given binomial error and available explanatory variables. We extended an extra-binomial variation model for rates standardized by the direct method. The…

Test for linear trend in 2 x K ordered tables with open-ended categories.

A method of evaluating trend (positive or negative) in 2 x K ordered tables is suggested for cases in which the scores for the first (K-1) categories are known a priori but the score for the last category is not known. Such a category is termed as…

Tissue engineering models of human digits: effect of periosteum on growth plate cartilage development.

Tissue-engineered middle phalanx constructs of human digits were investigated to determine whether periosteum wrapped partly about model midshafts mediated cartilage growth plate formation. Models were fabricated by suturing ends of polymer midshafts…

Construction of a model demonstrating neural pathways and reflex arcs.

Employment opportunities in the future will require higher skills and an understanding of mathematics and science. As a result of the growing number of careers that require solid science and mathematics training, the methods of science education are…

Model demonstrating respiratory mechanics for high school students.

We wanted to develop educational materials appropriate for the high school student which would present physiological concepts in an innovative way. The impetus was in response to the lack of physiology educational materials appropriate for the high…

Pullout strength and load to failure properties of self-tapping cortical screws in synthetic and cadaveric environments representative of healthy and osteoporotic bone.

BACKGROUND: The parameters of self-tapping screw (STS) performance in normal and osteoporotic bone have been defined in representative environments, but the question remains as to the clinical application of such findings. The goal of this study was…

Development of bone and cartilage in tissue-engineered human middle phalanx models.

Human middle phalanges were tissue-engineered with midshaft scaffolds of poly(L-lactide-epsilon-caprolactone) [P(LA-CL)], hydroxyapatite-P(LA-CL), or beta-tricalcium phosphate-P(LA-CL) and end plate scaffolds of bovine chondrocyte-seeded polyglycolic…

Virtual screening to identify novel antagonists for the G protein-coupled NK3 receptor.

The NK(3) subtype of tachykinin receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor that is a potential therapeutic target for several neurological diseases, including schizophrenia. In this study, we have screened compound databases for novel NK(3) receptor…

Crossing controls to treatment in repeated-measures trials.

For repeated-measures trials with continuous outcomes in which one group is designated as control and the other treatment, it is sometimes advantageous to add the treatment to the control group in the last periods of the design rather than to…

Predictive model for survival in patients having repeat radiation treatment for painful bone metastases.

PURPOSE: To establish a survival prediction model in the setting of a randomized trial of re-irradiation for painful bone metastases. METHODS: Data were randomly divided into training and testing sets with an approximately 3:2 ratio. Baseline factors…

Role of inflammation in the aging bones.

Chronic inflammation in aging is characterized by increased inflammatory cytokines, bone loss, decreased adaptation, and defective tissue repair in response to injury. Aging leads to inherent changes in mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation,…

A disease model descriptive of progression between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations and community-acquired pneumonia: roles for underlying lung disease and the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of the antibiotic.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may progress to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), but there has been no formal study of the factors responsible. We studied the influence of severity of underlying lung disease, pathogen…

Assessment of alkoxylphenacyl-based polycarbonates as a potential platform for controlled delivery of a model anti-glaucoma drug.

Treatment strategies for glaucoma will benefit from injectable and/or implantable delivery systems that can achieve sustained delivery of neuroprotective agents (to the posterior segment) and/or intraocular pressure lowering drugs (to the anterior…

The relation of breast cancer staging to screening protocol compliance: a computer simulation study.

A computer model based on relational database techniques was used to analyze the relationship between staging and population compliance to a breast cancer screening protocol. Stage distribution data permitted estimates of compliance to the protocol.…

Exploring the Role of YouTube in Disseminating Psychoeducation.
