Overconfident results with the bivariate random effects model for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies حسب Furuya-Kanamori, Luis

"…Diaz found that the performance of the bivariate model deteriorates when between-study heterogeneity increases and the number of studies decrease.5 Our simulation studies found similar results—with moderate levels of heterogeneity (tau2 = 1), the coverage probabilities of Se, Sp, and the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with the bivariate model dropped below the nominal level.6 Diagnostic accuracy studies usually favor sensitivity over specificity, or vice versa leading to diagnostic 2 × 2 tables with one or more of the cells with low frequency or zero counts. …"

Effects of acute and chronic exercise on immunological parameters in the elderly aged: Can physical activity counteract the effects of aging? حسب Sellami M.

"…The concept is that some lifestyle strategies such as high-intensity exercise training may prevent disease through the attenuation of immunosenescence. In this context, we take a top-down approach and review the effect of exercise and training on immunological parameters in elderly at rest and during exercise in humans, and how they respond to different modes of training. …"

Subchannel Assignment and Power Allocation for Time-Varying Fog Radio Access Network with NOMA حسب Qiu, Yu

"…The coordination between NOMA and F-RAN provides powerful support to extensive application of augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), vehicular networking, intelligent medical and other emerging applications. In this paper, we focus on a noncooperative game resource optimization to decrease the complexity while the dynamic optimization problem is decoupled to subchannel assignment and power allocation. …"
