Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental drug first developed to treat kidney disease prolongs survival and improves muscle function in mice genetically engineered to develop ...

Survival analysis is a branch of statistics that examines the expected duration until one or more events occur, such as death or failure. Traditionally applied in medical research and reliability ...

Subset analysis of patients whose ALS did not progress from a long-term survival study showed NP001 saved lung function and extended life by 22 months vs. a control group (~70% on riluzole) NP001 ...

Many biological or medical experiments have as their goal to estimate the survival function of a specified population of subjects when the time to the specified event may be censored due to loss to ...

Patients with lung cancer and poor pulmonary function at diagnosis have worse rates of overall survival, according to study results presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference, ...

Very often distributions will exist that logically should satisfy linear stochastic ordering requirements. For example, if a mechanical device is improved through N stages, the corresponding survival ...

Sphingolipids are bioactive molecules that have key roles in the regulation of cancer cell signalling to control tumour suppression or survival. Ceramide is a bioeffector molecule that mediates cell ...

A recent analysis of U.S. data over 2 decades indicates that children with kidney failure are being started on dialysis at higher levels of kidney function. Initiating dialysis at a higher level of ...

Contrary to popular practice, a measure of the heart's pumping function known as 'left ventricular ejection fraction' is not associated with the long-term outcomes of hospitalized heart failure ...
