Bariatric surgery in morbid obesity, either through sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-Y gastric
bypass (RYGB), leads to sustainable weight loss, improvement of metabolic disorders and …

Background: In Behçet's disease (BD), an auto-inflammatory vasculitis, an unbalanced gut
microbiota can contribute to pro-inflammatory reactions. In separate studies, distinct pro- and …

Individual-based models (IBMs) informing public health policy should be calibrated to data
and provide estimates of uncertainty. Two main components of model-calibration methods …

Morphometric analysis of wings has been suggested for identifying and controlling isolated
populations of tsetse (Glossina spp), vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis in Africa. …

Introduction: Rubella vaccines have been used to prevent rubella and congenital rubella
syndrome (CRS) in several World Health Organization (WHO) regions. Mathematical modelling …

Background. During the follow-up in a randomized controlled trial (RCT), participants may

… A marker of acute systematic inflammation (eg, C reactive protein) was not able to be
included in our model despite the correlation between acute inflammation and delirium [2, 4, 16]. …

Complex models are often fitted to data using simulation-based calibration, a computationally
challenging process. Several calibration methods to improve computational efficiency …

The application of MSMs is generally limited to research settings with binary exposures. 1 In
the case of continuous exposures, the IPW model needs to identify a correct distributional …
