Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the rising issue of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in developing countries and emphasizes the need for advanced statistical models to address patient variability.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 170 hemodialysis patients over a decade, utilizing a gamma frailty mixed cure Weibull model (MC-WG) to investigate factors affecting patient survival and time to death.
  • Findings revealed that nearly half of the patients died, with identifiable risk factors including age, gender, and serum urea levels; the MC-WG model showed significant impacts from diabetes and other variables that differed from traditional Cox PH model results.

Religiosity can be an important factor in women's health-related behaviour, attitudes, and decision-making. Evidence however, regarding the religiosity of mothers and its influence on child health, is scarce. Based on a large population-based cohort in Australia, we aim to examine the religiosity of women in Australia and the association of maternal religiosity with children's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and lifestyle.

Background: In December 2019, the spread of a new infectious disease was reported in Wuhan, caused by a new coronavirus named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization. This study aims to compare the dispersion of COVID-19 disease among four Iranian cities in North Khorasan named Bojnord, Farooj, Jajarm, and Shirvan.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study includes information about the daily morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 in 1124 patients from March to May 2021.

In this study, we investigate the feasibility of utilizing optical injection locking with phase-locked loop feedback to generate a true local oscillator for continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD). We evaluate the noise and imperfections associated with this novel approach and compare our findings with existing CV-QKD schemes. Notably, our calculations demonstrate significantly lower noise levels compared to other locally generated local oscillator-based CV-QKD schemes.

Diabetes, a major non-communicable disease, presents challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. Traditional regression models focus on mean effects, but factors can impact the entire distribution of responses over time. Linear mixed quantile regression models (LQMMs) address this issue.
