Central Obesity Is Associated With an Increased Rate of Multisite Pain in Older Adults by Cara Dimino, Sergio L. Teruya, Kevin D. Silverman, Thelma J. Mielenz

“…Weighted data were used in a multivariable generalized estimating equation model that used a log link specified with a Poisson distribution.ResultsParticipants with high-risk waist circumferences (98 cm or greater for women and 109 cm or greater for men) had a 11% higher rate of multisite pain than those with low-risk waist circumferences [rate ratio (RR) 1.11, 95% CI: 1.07–1.15] adjusting for gender, age, race, education, probable major depression, arthritis, and multimorbidity count.ConclusionAs measured by waist circumference, central adiposity is associated with multisite pain in older adults. …”

Association between the Density of Physicians and Suicide Rates in Japan: Nationwide Ecological Study Using a Spatial Bayesian Model. by Hideaki Kawaguchi, Soichi Koike

“…We estimated smoothed standardized mortality ratios of suicide rates for each municipality and evaluated the association between health workforce and suicide rates using a hierarchical Bayesian model accounting for spatially correlated random effects, a conditional autoregressive model. We assumed a Poisson distribution for the observed number of suicides and set the expected number of suicides as the offset variable. …”

Evidence for over-dispersion in the distribution of clinical malaria episodes in children. by Mwangi, T, Fegan, G, Williams, T, Kinyanjui, S, Snow, R, Marsh, K

“… BACKGROUND: It may be assumed that patterns of clinical malaria in children of similar age under the same level of exposure would follow a Poisson distribution with no over-dispersion. Longitudinal studies that have been conducted over many years suggest that some children may experience more episodes of clinical malaria than would be expected. …”

CpG methylation profiling in VHL related and VHL unrelated renal cell carcinoma. by McRonald, F, Morris, MR, Gentle, D, Winchester, L, Baban, D, Ragoussis, J, Clarke, N, Brown, MD, Kishida, T, Yao, M, Latif, F, Maher, E

“…The distribution of the number of methylated CpGs in individual tumours differed from the expected Poisson distribution (p &lt; 0.00001; log-likelihood G test) suggesting that a subset of RCC displayed a CpG Island Methylator Phenotype. …”

Microfluidics with fluid walls by Castrejón-Pita, A
