This paper evaluates the potential interest of using bivariate gamma distributions for image registration and change detection. The first part of this paper studies estimators for the parameters of bivariate gamma distributions based on the maximum likelihood principle and the method of moments. The performance of both methods are compared in terms of estimated mean square errors and theoretical asymptotic variances. The mutual information is a classical similarity measure which can be used for image registration or change detection. The second part of the paper studies some properties of the mutual information for bivariate Gamma distributions. Image registration and change detection techniques based on bivariate gamma distributions are finally investigated. Simulation results conducted on synthetic and real data are very encouraging. Bivariate gamma distributions are good candidates allowing us to develop new image registration algorithms and new change detectors.

Background: Chemsex engagement is known to be associated with higher-risk sexual behaviour, HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI). To reduce HIV infection risk, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is increasingly used in the men who have sex with men (MSM) community. This study aims to examine the interrelationship between chemsex engagement and PrEP use in MSM.

Yunnan Province Key Laboratory of Children's Major Diseases Research, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Kunming Medical University, Kunming 650500, China.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the IGRA, TST, and TBST by combining diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) analysis and network meta-analysis (NMA) to increase the reliability and accuracy of diagnostic methods and promote the eradication of TB. An electronic search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was conducted, from the date of establishment to September 30, 2024. Data were synthesized with frequentist random-effects network meta-analyses, a single-group rate meta-analysis algorithm, and a bivariate mixed-effects logistic regression model.

Article Synopsis
- A retrospective cohort study aimed to compare three socioeconomic status (SES) indexes and their association with outcomes after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) or lumbar fusion.
- The study involved identifying adult patients who underwent these surgeries at a medical center from 2014 to 2020, analyzing their preoperative conditions and outcomes based on SES classifications derived from community-level indexes.
- Results indicated that while patients from lower SES communities had worse preoperative outcomes, the community-wide SES indexes were ineffective in predicting surgical outcomes post-surgery.
Evening cortisol levels are prognostic for progression-free survival in a prospective pilot study of head and neck cancer patients.

Article Synopsis
- Cortisol rhythm disruptions are linked to early mortality in various cancers, and this study investigates their potential relationship with outcomes in head and neck cancer (HNC).
- A pilot sample of 40 HNC patients was studied, measuring cortisol levels and inflammatory cytokines to see if they predict disease progression and survival.
- Findings showed that higher evening cortisol and mean cortisol levels were associated with shorter progression-free survival, and elevated inflammatory marker IFN-γ correlated with increased cortisol levels and worse outcomes.
Factors Associated With Quality of Life Among Colorectal Cancer Patients: Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is a chronic condition that affects a substantial proportion of the global population. Ensuring a satisfactory quality of life (QoL) for these patients is, therefore, of critical importance.
Objective: To examine the relationship between sociodemographic, economic, lifestyle, and health-related variables and quality of life in patients with colorectal cancer receiving treatment at a leading health institution in Medellín, Colombia.
