Dependent samples, in which repeated measurements are made on the same subjects, eliminate potential differences among the subjects. In k-dependent samples, missing data can occur for various reasons. The Skillings-Mack test is used instead of the Friedman test for k-dependent samples with missing observations that are non-normally distributed.

Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and target concentration intervention (TCI) represent significant advancements in individualized medicine, aiming to tailor dosages based on patient-specific characteristics. These approaches account for intra- and inter-individual physiological and clinical variability, with the goal of improving target attainment and clinical remission while reducing treatment failure and adverse effects.
Objectives: The objective is to assess and enhance the current body of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that have investigated alternative personalized dosing strategies, such as TDM and TCI, in terms of their efficacy and safety for individualized antimicrobial dosing in pediatric populations.

Background: Recurrent infections of the nose, sinuses and ears are common problems for people with primary ciliary dyskinesia. While pulmonary exacerbations in primary ciliary dyskinesia are defined, there is no definition for ear-nose-throat exacerbations, a potential outcome for research and clinical trials.
Methods: We set up an expert panel of 24 ear-nose-throat specialists, respiratory physicians, other healthcare professionals and patients to develop consensus definitions of sinonasal and otological exacerbations in children and adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia for research settings.

Stem cell grafting can promote glial repair of adult stroke injuries during the subacute wound healing phase, but graft survival and glial repair outcomes are perturbed by lesion severity and mode of injury. To better understand how stroke lesion environments alter the functions of cell grafts, we employed optical coherence tomography (OCT) to longitudinally image mouse cortical photothrombotic ischemic strokes treated with allogeneic neural progenitor cell (NPC) grafts. OCT angiography, signal intensity, and signal decay resulting from optical scattering were assessed at multiple timepoints across two weeks in mice receiving an NPC graft or an injection of saline at two days after stroke.
