Heating and cooling supply estimation to control buildings temperature using resistor-capacitor thermal model, unscented kalman filter, and nonlinear least square method.

Unlabelled: Buildings can have varying heating and cooling set points to take advantage of favorable environmental conditions and low time-of-use rates. To optimize temperature scheduling and energy planning, building energy managements need reliable building thermal models and efficient estimation methods to accurately estimate space heating and cooling supply (or power demand) over a certain period (e.g.

Worldwide and Regional Efficacy Estimates of First-line Helicobacter pylori Treatments: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

Background: Eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection is challenging. We aimed to determine the optimal first-line H. pylori treatments at global and regional levels.

Systematic review with meta-analysis: the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common and potential disabling functional gastrointestinal disorder. Studies have revealed a possible association between IBS and psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression. Existing systematic reviews have addressed only the levels of anxiety or depression in patients with IBS.

The efficacy of first-line regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication in different continents: A systematic review and network meta-analysis protocol.

Background: Striking prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection has been convoluted with considerable resistance to various antibiotics worldwide. Although many eradication regimens have been introduced as the first-line therapies against H pylori, lack of appropriate multiple comparison studies makes hard to implement such results to the clinical practice. This project attempts to utilize a comprehensive network meta-analysis to pool the results of clinical trial comparing various first-line eradication therapies simultaneously in different continents.

Prevalence of osteoporosis with the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Unlabelled: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on the prevalence of osteoporosis in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. The overall pooled prevalence of osteoporosis was 24.4%.
