In this article, a parametric predictor is constructed to predict the future state of a discrete-time linear system with a known constant input delay and external disturbances by introducing a tuning parameter. Then, a predictor-based feedback controller is given to attenuate the unknown disturbance signal. The ultimate bound of the state of the resulted closed-loop system is obtained when the state feedback control law based on this novel predictor is utilized. Based on the expression of the ultimate bounds, the capacity to attenuate the unknown disturbance is analyzed for the parametric predictor within a certain range of parameters. An easily calculated interval is provided for the range of the tuning parameter such that the proposed predictor achieves a better disturbance attenuation capacity. Moreover, for the unknown constant disturbance, the estimation error between the proposed predictor with an arbitrary parameter and the future state can be eliminated. Finally, two numerical examples are utilized to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed parametric predictor for bounded time-varying disturbances.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has a poor prognosis, with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) being a key treatment method. This study focused on circulating cytokines as potential predictors of treatment response and prognosis in patients with ESCC.
Materials And Methods: Serum samples were collected from 36 ESCC patients, and 12 different cytokines were quantified using a multiplex immunofluorescence assay.

Although the fractional polynomials (FPs) can act as a concise and accurate formula for examining smooth relationships between response and predictors, modelling conditional mean functions observes the partial view of a distribution of response variable, as distributions of many response variables such as blood pressure (BP) measures are typically skew. Conditional quantile functions with FPs provide a comprehensive relationship between the response variable and its predictors, such as median and extremely high-BP measures that may be often required in practical data analysis generally. To the best of our knowledge, this is new in the literature.

: Thyroidectomy, a surgical procedure for thyroid disorders, is associated with postoperative voice changes, even in cases without recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. Our study evaluates the prevalence and predictors of voice disorders in thyroidectomy patients without RLN injury. : Our single-center prospective study at the University Hospital Center Zagreb included 243 patients, with pre- and postoperative voice evaluations using acoustic analysis and videostroboscopy.

Background/objectives: Obesity and dental caries are significant health issues affecting children worldwide. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of obesity and dental caries among kindergarten children in Saudi Arabia during the early implementation years of the Vision 2030 initiative. Specifically, it examines the obesity rates between public and private kindergartens and assesses the correlation between obesity and caries risk.
