Abstract Aim Stigma among healthcare professionals toward people who use drugs (PWUDs) must be addressed for recovery. However, research on this topic is limited in Japan, therefore we developed a brand‐new scale through coproduction with PWUDs to measure stigma and conducted survey using the examine what influences towards Japanese settings. Methods Based interviews their families, containing ...

background : helicobacter pylori is a major human gastric for various gastro duodenal diseases.a number of putative virulence factors such as dupa, homb, tnpa have been described. to date,none were found to be significantly associated with specific h. pylori-related diseases (e.g. gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer). methods : the primary aim of this study was to test the h. pylori hrga genotype...

Abstract Background Meta-analysis is a statistical method to synthesize evidence from number of independent studies, including those clinical studies with binary outcomes. In practice, when there are zero events in one or both groups, it may cause problems the subsequent analysis. Methods this paper, by considering relative risk as effect size, we conduct comparative study that consists four co...

Urban forest ecosystems, the structure, and functions therein are subjected to anthropogenic disturbances. Native sensitive species from those forests might be lost due such At same time, supplemented resources create opportunities for exotic invasive species. Although considered one of major threats urban biodiversity research on invasion dynamics in Himalayas has primarily focused impacts str...

The linear mixed effects model with normal errors is a popular model for the analysis of repeated measures and longitudinal data. The generalized linear model is useful for data that have non-normal errors but where the errors are uncorrelated. A descendant of these two models generates a model for correlated data with non-normal errors, called the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM). Frequen...

The co-twin control study is a popular research design that is used in many research disciplines, including epidemiology, medicine, and the behavioural sciences. In co-twin control studies of monozygotic (MZ) exposure discordant twin pairs, the appropriate statistical tests used to analyse data from continuous outcome variables are the parametric paired sample t test or the non-parametric Wilco...

Summary In this report, we introduce an R package KMgene for performing gene-based association tests for familial, multivariate or longitudinal traits using kernel machine (KM) regression under a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) framework. Extensive simulations were performed to evaluate the validity of the approaches implemented in KMgene. Availability http://cran.r-project.org/web/pack...
