"Specified expectant mothers" are defined as pregnant women at high risk of needing extra support after birth. To provide them appropriate support, the methods for evaluating specified expectant mothers should be standardized. Thus, in this study, I reviewed the evaluation and multidisciplinary collaboration in some regions reported to be actively supporting specified expectant mothers in Japan. The main items related to "specified expectant mothers" were as follows: (1) mental disorders, (2) younger age, (3) no consultation/late first visit, (4) poverty, and (5) multiple pregnancy. It is important to proactively identify and confirm the problems faced by pregnant women through screening and interviews conducted by the medical staff.

In various scenarios where products and services are accompanied by warranties to ensure their reliability over a specified time, the two-parameter (shifted) exponential distribution serves as a fundamental model for time-to-event data. In modern production process, the products often come with warranties, and their quality can be manifested by the changes in the scale and origin parameters of a shifted exponential (SE) distribution. This paper introduces the Max-EWMA chart, employing maximum likelihood estimators and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistics, to jointly monitor SE distribution parameters.

Determining karyotype-phenotype correlations for individuals with Turner syndrome ("TS individuals") is a longstanding research endeavor. The limited literature on Turner syndrome (TS) with a ring X chromosome hinders counseling about the neuropsychological and clinical features. To further characterize these phenotypes, we compared 27 TS individuals with 46,X,r(X)/45,X ("ring X") to 50 non-mosaic 45,X, and 27 mosaic 45,X/46,XX ("mosaic 45,X") individuals.

Objective: Propose a framework to empirically evaluate and report validity of findings from observational studies using pre-specified objective diagnostics, increasing trust in real-world evidence (RWE).
Materials And Methods: The framework employs objective diagnostic measures to assess the appropriateness of study designs, analytic assumptions, and threats to validity in generating reliable evidence addressing causal questions. Diagnostic evaluations should be interpreted before the unblinding of study results or, alternatively, only unblind results from analyses that pass pre-specified thresholds.

Motivation: Estimating a toxic reference point using tools like the benchmark dose (BMD) is a critical step in setting policy to regulate pollution and ensure safe environments. Toxicity can be measured for different endpoints, including changes in gene expression and histopathology for various tissues, and is typically explored one gene or tissue at a time in a univariate setting that ignores correlation. In this work, we develop a multivariate estimation procedure to estimate the BMD for specified gene sets.
