A multivariate probit model for correlated binary responses given the predictors of interest has been considered. Some of the responses are subject to classification errors and hence are not directly observable. Also measurements on some of the predictors are not available; instead the measurements on its surrogate are available. However, the conditional distribution of the unobservable predictors given the surrogate is completely specified. Models are proposed taking into account either or both of these sources of errors. Likelihood-based methodologies are proposed to fit these models. To ascertain the effect of ignoring classification errors and/or measurement error on the estimates of the regression and correlation parameters, a sensitivity study is carried out through simulation. Finally, the proposed methodology is illustrated through an example.

PeerJ

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases & National Center for Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases & Frontier Innovation Center for Dental Medicine Plus, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Background: The oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of Tibetan adolescents has been largely overlooked.

Aim: This cross-sectional study examined the association of region-specific lifestyle, subjective perception, and clinician conditions of oral health with Tibetan adolescents' OHRQoL in Ganzi, Sichuan.

Methods: The OHRQoL was measured using standardized Child Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (sC-OIDP) scores.

Predictive factors for axillary pathological complete response to neoadjuvant therapy in elderly breast cancer patients.

BMC Cancer

January 2025

Department of Breast, Sichuan Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Sichuan Cancer Hospital & Institute,Sichuan Cancer Center, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.

Purpose: This study explores the predictive factors for axillary pathological complete response(apCR) during neoadjuvant therapy(NAT) for elderly breast cancer patients to supplement the indications for retaining the axilla.

Methods: Comprehensive clinical information was gathered from November 2016 to July 2023 from elderly patients with pathology-confirmed invasive breast cancer who underwent NAT and surgery in the Breast Department of Sichuan Cancer Hospital. The relationships between clinicopathological characteristics and apCR were investigated via retrospective analysis.

Acoustic Measures According to Speaker Gender Identity: Differences and Correlation With Vocal Satisfaction.

J Voice

January 2025

Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Electronic address:

Objective: To analyze acoustic measures of speech and vowel samples from individuals of different genders and to correlate these acoustic measures with vocal satisfaction. This study aims to provide additional data on acoustic measures, serving as references for clinicians while emphasizing the importance of moving beyond cisgender norms. Additionally, it addresses a gap in the Brazilian context by exploring correlations between acoustic measures and self-perceived vocal satisfaction across diverse gender groups.

The remediation of wastewaters contaminated with dyes (discharged mainly from industry) is very important for preserving environmental quality and human health. In this study, a new composite chitosan (CS)-based adsorbent combined with activated carbon (AC) and curcumin (Cur) (abbreviated hereafter as CS/AC@Cur) in three different ratios (12.5%, 25%, and 50%) was synthesized for the removal of anionic [reactive black 5 (RB5)] and cationic [methylene blue (MB)] dyes in single-component or binary systems.

Objective: To investigate the screening efficacy of six thrombotic markers for hypercoagulable state (HCS) in pregnant women, including thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT), plasmin-alpha-2 plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), thrombomodulin (TM), tissue-type plasminogen activator inhibitor complex(t-PAI-C), D-dimer(D-D), and fibrinogen degradation products (FDP).

Methods: This was a retrospective study. Eighty-five high-risk pregnant women who underwent antenatal examination at Baoding maternal and Child Health Hospital from December 2022 to September 2023 were included as the observation group, while 85 healthy pregnant women without complications or comorbidities who underwent routine antenatal examinations at our hospital were randomly enrolled as the control group.
