Abnormalities of cerebral white matter are present in a majority of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and probably contribute to motor dysfunction and cognitive impairment. The white matter abnormalities are usually attributed to degenerative va... Read More about Contributors to white matter damage in the frontal lobe in Alzheimer's disease.

Association between quality of life scores and short-term outcome after surgery for cancer of the oesophagus or gastric cardia (2005)
Journal Article

British Journal of Surgery, 92(12), 1502-1507. https://doi.org/10.1002/bjs.5175

Background: Evidence suggests that baseline quality of life (QOL) scores are independently prognostic for survival in patients with cancer, but the role of QOL data in predicting short-term outcome after surgery is uncertain. This study assessed the... Read More about Association between quality of life scores and short-term outcome after surgery for cancer of the oesophagus or gastric cardia.

Soft tissue pain and physical therapy (2005)

Bayesian projections: What are the effects of excluding data from younger age groups? (2005)
Journal Article
Baker, A., & Bray, I. (2005). Bayesian projections: What are the effects of excluding data from younger age groups?. American Journal of Epidemiology, 162(8), 798-805. https://doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwi273

Bayesian age-period-cohort models are used increasingly to project cancer incidence and mortality rates. Data for younger age groups for which rates are low are often discarded from the analysis. The authors explored the effect of excluding these dat... Read More about Bayesian projections: What are the effects of excluding data from younger age groups?.
