Design and Implementation of a Quantitative Network Health Monitoring and Recovery System.

A network health monitoring system focuses on the quantification of the network's health by taking into account various security flaws, leaks, and vulnerabilities. A plethora of propriety tools and patents are available for network health quantification. However, there is a paucity of available research and literature in this field.

Relative effectiveness of sunitinib versus everolimus in advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: an updated matching-adjusted indirect comparison.

Aim: A matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) of sunitinib and everolimus has been previously reported based on the RADIANT-3 everolimus trial. We performed an analysis using updated overall survival (OS) data based on sunitinib's trial (A6181111).

Methods: The MAIC matched on all baseline characteristics available from both studies.

Development of Computer Algorithm for Editing of Next Generation Sequencing Metagenome Data.

The successful implementation of the advanced sequencing technology, the next generation sequencing (NGS) motivates scientists from diverse fields of biological research especially from genomics and transcriptomics in generating large genomic data set to make their analysis more robust and come up with strong inference. However, exploiting this huge genomic data set becomes a challenge for the molecular biologists. To corroborate this problem, computational software and hardware are being developed in parallel and become an integral part of life science.

Adherence beliefs among breast cancer patients taking tamoxifen.

Information about the reasons for non-adherence among breast cancer patients taking tamoxifen is essential for the development of interventions that may increase adherence. The present study investigated treatment experiences and perceptions among women taking tamoxifen and how these related to adherence behaviour. Hundred and ten women completed questionnaires including the Women's Health Questionnaire, Hot Flushes and Night Sweats Questionnaire, Beliefs about Medicine Questionnaire and a self-report measure of adherence.

Menopausal symptoms in women with breast cancer: prevalence and treatment preferences.

Menopausal symptoms are common and problematic for women receiving adjuvant treatment for breast cancer and management presents a challenge. This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to investigate the experience of menopausal symptoms, current management and treatment preferences of 113 patients with breast cancer. These women (who were prescribed tamoxifen and were on average 3 years post-diagnosis) were recruited from a breast unit database.
