As REMS Requirements Simplify, Participants Need To Catch Up.

For more than three years, regulators at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration worked to hammer out a common risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) program for extendedrelease and long-acting opioids. These pain medications have a long history of abuse and each has had a REMS of its own. Now, with the FDA’s release of a comprehensive REMS program in July, 20 manufacturers have a common ...

Statistics catch-up lecture

Example 1. In a genetic study, n = 2217 patients are recruited, among which 1127 have bladder cancer. After whole genome sequencing, p = 475290 single nucleatide polymorphisms (or SNPs, a possible variation of the DNA sequence at one location) are measured on each patient. We construct a matrix X = (Xij)1≤i≤n,1≤j≤p where Xij = 1 if the ith patient has a mutation at jth location and 0 otherwise....

Catch-up Growth

Catch-up growth.

Catch-up growth, defined as growth velocity above the statistical limits of normality for age or maturity during a defined period of time, is distinguished from compensatory growth since it makes up for a potential loss rather than an actual loss and is seen in the whole body as opposed to specific organs. The cellular explanation for catch-up based on the work of Winick is described and a rece...

Does Jason Bourne need Visual Analytics to catch the Jackal ?

Visual Analytics is a relatively new field which tries to combine and intertwine visual and analytical methods in an interactive manner. Because of the complex structure of time, the application of visual analytics methods to timeoriented data is a very promising approach for insight generation. To show how this can be applied, on top of real world data we created a fictitious scenario where ev...
