Effects of electromagnetic field on proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3 cells by Teoh, Swee-Hin, Suryani, Luvita, Too, Jian Hui, Hassanbhai, Ammar Mansoor, Wen, Feng, Lin, Daryl Jimian, Yu, Na

“…Cell viability and metabolic activity were accessed by confocal microscopy, and alamarBlue time-course measurements and results indicated that there were no adverse effects under designated PEMF condition. After 7 days of PEMF exposure, in comparison with negative controls, cell numbers increased when exposed to PEMF in culture medium and were independent of osteogenic supplements. …”

BSACI guidance for the implementation of Palforzia® peanut oral immunotherapy in the United Kingdom: a Delphi consensus study by Marrs, Tom, Patel, Nandinee, Burrell, Sarah, Rampersad, Anjali, Minshall, Eleanor, Leech, Susan, Chandratilleke, Dinusha, Dempsey, Justine, Ludman, Sian, Roberts, Graham, Michaelis, Louise Jane, Brough, Helen A., Karanam, Surendra, Batt, Rebecca, Moulsdale, Phoebe, Steifel, Gary, Tiwana, Kiran, Smith, Helen, Knight, Katherine, Vazquez-Ortiz, Marta, Vyas, Deepan, Turner, Paul J., Makwana, Nick

“…The greatest amount of feedback was generated from three broad issues; (i) whether eligibility assessment should include compulsory peanut challenges and whether these should be designed to assess the threshold at which patients react to peanut, (ii) the governance processes to best ensure that patients' interests are prioritised and (iii) how to safely transition young people to other services, or discharge them, while they are taking daily peanut. …”

Integrating Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Tests with Standard Cancer Screening: System Dynamics Model Development and Feasibility Testing by Fagery, Mussab, Khorshidi, Hadi A., Wong, Stephen Q., Karanfil, Özge, Emery, Jon, IJzerman, Maarten J.

“…Aim This article describes the development of a simulation model built to evaluate the additional patient diagnoses and the economic impact of incorporating MCED testing alongside Australia’s well-established standard of care (SOC) screening programs for colorectal, breast, cervical and lung cancers. The model was designed to estimate the additional number of patients diagnosed at each cancer stage (stage I, II, III, IV, or unknown) and the associated costs. …”

Investigating Interventions in Fine-grained Contexts for Habit Formation by Khan, Mina

“…We investigate habit-formation using interventions in fine-grained mobile, physical-world and digital, computer-based contexts, making three key contributions for each: a survey to identify behavior change needs, a prototype system designed to deliver fine-grained context-specific interventions, and a study to investigate habit-formation using interventions in fine-grained contexts, compared to interventions in less fine-grained contexts. …”

Principled asymmetric boosting approaches to rapid training and classification in face detection by Pham, Minh Tri

“…Fourth, a set of bounds on the generalization ability of a boosted classifier trained with an asymmetric goal is proposed, as current generalization bounds are not designed for asymmetric errors. The proposed bounds show that, unlike traditional boosting methods where there is no difference between a margin of a positive example and that of a negative example, the penalties applied to the margins are different for different classes.…”
