Cancer near nuclear installations. by Forman, D, Cook-Mozaffari, P, Darby, S, Davey, G, Stratton, I, Doll, R, Pike, M

Association of Preoperative Physical Activity with Short- and Long-Term Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Palliative Resection for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: An Inverse Probabilit... by Ching-Chung Cheng, I-Li Lai, Shu-Huan Huang, Wen-Sy Tsai, Pao-Shiu Hsieh, Chien-Yuh Yeh, Sum-Fu Chiang, Hsin-Yuan Hung, Jeng-Fu You

“…Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to reduce imbalance and selection biases between the two groups. After the IPTW process, the MET < 12 group showed a higher postoperative morbidity rate (18.7% vs. 10.6%; <i>p</i> < 0.001) and mortality rate (2.4% vs. 0.6%; <i>p</i> < 0.001) than the MET ≥ 12 group. …”

Quantifying changes in the T cell receptor repertoire during thymic development by Francesco Camaglia, Arie Ryvkin, Erez Greenstein, Shlomit Reich-Zeliger, Benny Chain, Thierry Mora, Aleksandra M Walczak, Nir Friedman

“…These results favour a collective or statistical model for T-cell self non-self discrimination, where negative selection biases the repertoire away from self recognition, rather than ensuring lack of self-reactivity at the single-cell level.…”

The current state of artificial intelligence in endoscopic diagnosis of early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by Yuwei Pan, Lanying He, Weiqing Chen, Weiqing Chen, Yongtao Yang, Yongtao Yang

“…The excellent image recognition ability of AI is suitable for the detection and diagnosis of ESCC and can reduce missed diagnoses and help endoscopists better complete endoscopic examinations. However, the selective bias used in the training dataset of the AI system affects its general utility.…”

Genetic Adaptations, Biases, and Evolutionary Analysis of Canine Distemper Virus Asia-4 Lineage in a Fatal Outbreak of Wild-Caught Civets in Thailand by Chutchai Piewbang, Jira Chansaenroj, Piyaporn Kongmakee, Wijit Banlunara, Yong Poovorawan, Somporn Techangamsuwan

“…The codon usage pattern of the CDV H gene revealed that the CDV genome has a selective bias of an A/U-ended codon preference. Furthermore, the codon usage pattern of the CDV Asia-4 strain from potential hosts revealed that the usage pattern was related more to the codon usage of civets than of dogs. …”

Ponderings on the Possible Preponderance of Perpendicular Planets by Jared C. Siegel, Joshua N. Winn, Simon H. Albrecht

“…We also investigated selection biases that affect the inferred obliquity distribution, such as the bias of the gravity-darkening method against obliquities near 0° or 180°. …”

Immunogenetic Profiling for Gastric Cancers Identifies Sulfated Glycosaminoglycans as Major and Functional B Cell Antigens in Human Malignancies by Hiroto Katoh, Daisuke Komura, Hiroki Konishi, Ryohei Suzuki, Asami Yamamoto, Miwako Kakiuchi, Reiko Sato, Tetsuo Ushiku, Shogo Yamamoto, Kenji Tatsuno, Takashi Oshima, Sachiyo Nomura, Yasuyuki Seto, Masashi Fukayama, Hiroyuki Aburatani, Shumpei Ishikawa

“…We find that B cell repertoires in cancer are shaped by somatic hypermutation (SHM) either with or without positive selection biases, the latter of which tended to be auto-reactive. …”

A Computational Model of Attention Control in Multi-Attribute, Context-Dependent Decision Making by Kanghoon Jung, Jaeseung Jeong, Jerald D. Kralik

“…The overall model suggests that the distinctiveness of attributes guides an individual's preferences among multi-attribute options via an attention-control mechanism that determines whether choices are selectively biased toward the most distinctive attribute (selective attention) or proportionally distributed based on the relative distinctiveness of attributes (divided attention). …”
