Systematic literature review of the epidemiology and clinical burden of chron...
We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to determine the epidemiology and clinical burden of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and to describe how the... -
Inventory strategies for perishable products with two-period shelf-life and l...
We develop an inventory model for perishable products with a two-period shelf-life. The demand during a stock out in either period is treated as lost sales. Besides the initial... -
Does subnational tax autonomy promote regional convergence? Evidence from OEC...
This paper investigates the simultaneous impact of subnational tax autonomy and vertical transfers on regional disparities of gross domestic product (GDP) per head in a sample... -
Impact of multimorbidity and polypharmacy on the management of patients with ...
We investigated the impact of multimorbidity and polypharmacy on the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients in clinical practice and assessed factors associated with... -
Ceric ammonium nitrate/acetic anhydride: A tunable system for the O-acetylati...
Esterification of a wide range of partially protected carbohydrate derivatives was achieved using acetic anhydride and a catalytic amount of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN).... -
Microsatellite null alleles affected population genetic analyses: a case stud...
Microsatellite markers are widely used in population genetic analyses. However, the common occurrence of null alleles and their effect on population parameters such as observed... -

We show how a factor analysis model can be fitted to nominal data using the computer program Mplus. The model is akin to multinomial logistic regression with unobserved... -
Verification of the hemolysis index measurement: imprecision, accuracy, measu...
Automated spectrophotometric measurement of hemolysis index (HI) allows rapid and cost-effective assessment of hemolysis interference. We evaluated the analytical performance of... -
Clinical characteristics in young-adult ALS – results from a Portuguese cohor...
Studies concerning young-adult amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (yALS) are uncommon, due to the rarity of this condition. We aimed to investigate this subject. Methods: A... -
Clinical and economic burden of postsurgical complications of high-risk surge...
Background: This study aimed to understand the clinical and economic burden associated with postsurgical complications in high-risk surgeries in Thailand. Methods: A cost and... -
Development and testing of the eye-pointing classification scale for children...
The aim of this study was to develop and test a new classification scale to describe looking behaviours (gaze fixations and gaze shifts) in relation to eye-pointing. The... -
Adaptation and validation of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to evaluate m...
Background: Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in primary care settings and is often underdiagnosed and undertreated by general practitioners (GPs). To date,... -
