Longitudinal incremental propensity score interventions for limited resource settings

Mats Julius Stensrud, Aaron Leor Sarvet

Many real‐life treatments are of limited supply and cannot be provided to all individuals in the population. For example, patients on the liver transplant waiting list usually cannot be assigned a liver transplant immediately at the time they reach highest ...

Predicting type 2 diabetes risk before and after solid organ transplantation using polygenic scores in a Danish cohort

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can be multifactorial where both genetics and environmental factors play a role. We aimed to investigate the use of polygenic risk scores (PRS) in the prediction of pre-transplant T2DM and post-transplant diabetes mellitus ( ...

Assessment of Stiffness of Large to Small Arteries in Multistage Renal Disease Model: A Numerical Study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Patrick Segers

Arterial stiffness (AS), as assessed via pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a major biomarker for cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the mechanisms responsible for the changes in PWV in the presence of kidney ...

Causal inference with limited resources: proportionally-representative interventions

Mats Julius Stensrud, Aaron Leor Sarvet

Investigators often evaluate treatment effects by considering settings in which all individuals are assigned a treatment of interest, assuming that an unlimited number of treatment units are available. However, many real-life treatments are of limited supp ...

Fibrin gels engineered with pro-angiogenic growth factors promote engraftment of pancreatic islets in extrahepatic sites in mice

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Alice Anna Tomei

With a view toward reduction of graft loss, we explored pancreatic islet transplantation within fibrin matrices rendered pro-angiogenic by incorporation of minimal doses of vascular endothelial growth factor-A165 and platelet-derived growth factor-BB prese ...

Bicaudal C1 promotes pancreatic NEUROG3+ endocrine progenitor differentiation and ductal morphogenesis

Laurence Anne E Lemaire

Mutations in Bicaudal C1 (BICC1), an RNA binding protein involved in translational regulation, have been associated with cystic kidney disease both in humans and in mice. Since kidney cysts associate with pancreatic defects in several human syndromes, we i ...
