Sponsors have a marketing interest to represent their products in the best light. This approach conflicts with scientific standards that require the symmetric and comparable reporting of safety and efficacy data. Selective reporting of the results of clinical trials can misrepresent the risk-benefit profile of drugs. We summarize how the sponsor represented mortality findings associated with ro...

We discuss the gravitational lensing of gravitational waves from merging neutron star binaries, in the context of advanced LIGO type gravitational wave detectors. We consider properties of the expected observational data with cut on the signal-to-noise ratio ρ, i.e., ρ > ρ0. An advanced LIGO should see unlensed inspiral events with a redshift distribution with cut-off at a redshift zmax < 1 for...

Background The associated risk of Alzheimer’s disease linked to the APOE-e4 gene is similar in males and females. However, there a disproportionate rate women (two-thirds) compared men. Mayeda et al. (2020) found that who worked for pay during early adulthood midlife, whether married or unmarried, had slower memory decline later life did not work pay. Although has been much research on associat...
