BACKGROUND Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (LARS) is generally the treatment of choice for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This report describes our experiences in performing LARS on patients with GERD, and focuses retrospectively on the pathophysiology of individual patients and the current status of Japanese patients who have undergone LARS. We demonstrate that patients...

We are interested in parallelizing the least angle regression (LARS) algorithm for fitting linear models to high-dimensional data. consider two parallel and communication avoiding versions of basic LARS algorithm. The algorithms have different asymptotic costs practical performance. One offers more speedup other produces accurate output. first is bLARS, a block version algorithm, where we updat...
