This calculus-based book presents a blend of theory and application. It focuses on inference making as the goal studying probability statistics, features an emphasis real-life applications mathematically divided techniques. Exercises based documented data sets other realistic experimental situations motivate theoretical foundation. Updated expanded coverage includes: negative binomial distribution (optional); explicit models for analysis variance completely randomized block designs.
This introductory text on the design and analysis of sample surveys emphasizes practical aspects survey problems. It begins with brief chapters role in modern world. Thereafter, each chapter introduces a or estimation procedure by describing pertinent problem. The authors describe methodology proposed for solving problem provide details procedure, including compact presentation formulas needed to complete analysis. Then, example is worked out detail. At end chapter, wealth exercises gives...

The treatment of patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) the oropharynx remains controversial. No randomized trial has addressed adequately question whether surgery (S), radiation therapy (RT), or combined is most effective.Treatment results from North American academic institutions that used S without adjuvant RT (S +/- RT) alone followed by neck dissection (RT ND) for SCC tonsillar region base tongue were compiled through a MEDLINE search (from 1970 to August, 2000) and references...
PURPOSE Plasma circulating tumor human papillomavirus DNA (ctHPVDNA) is a sensitive and specific biomarker of (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). We investigated whether longitudinal monitoring ctHPVDNA during post-treatment surveillance could accurately detect clinical disease recurrence. METHODS AND MATERIALS A prospective trial was conducted among patients with nonmetastatic HPV-associated (p16-positive) OPSCC. All were treated curative-intent chemoradiotherapy...
The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a highly contagious zoonosis produced by SARS-CoV-2 that spread human-to-human respiratory secretions. It was declared the WHO as public health emergency. most susceptible populations, needing mechanical ventilation, are elderly and people with associated comorbidities. There an important risk of contagion for anesthetists, dentists, head neck surgeons, maxillofacial ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists. Health workers represent between 3.8%...
To identify a profile of circulating tumor human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA (ctHPVDNA) clearance kinetics that is associated with disease control after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).A multi-institutional prospective biomarker trial was conducted in 103 patients (i) p16-positive OPSCC, (ii) M0 disease, and (iii) receipt definitive CRT. Blood specimens were collected at baseline, weekly during CRT, follow-up visits. Optimized...
Statistical methods in life testing analysis have been developed the past primarily for case of a single failure population. In this paper population which can be divided into subpopulations, each representing different type or cause failure, is considered. Estimates parameters are obtained where subpopulations exponentially distributed and sampling censored at predetermined test termination time.
To report the results of a phase II clinical trial de-intensified chemoradiotherapy for patients with human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
PURPOSE: The end results after radiation therapy for T1-T2N0 glottic carcinoma vary considerably. We analyze patient-related and treatment-related parameters that may influence the likelihood of cure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Five hundred nineteen patients were treated with had follow-up ≥ 2 years. Three who disease-free lost to at 7 months, 21 10.5 No other follow-up. RESULTS: Local control rates 5 years as follows: T1A, 94%; T1B, 93%; T2A, 80%; T2B, 72%. Multivariate analysis local revealed...
Between May, 1988 and August, 1993, 158 patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) were treated radiosurgically at the University of Florida. A mean dose 1560 cGy was directed to periphery lesions, which had a volume 9 cc (0.5 45.3 cc). One hundred thirty-nine these individuals one isocenter. The follow-up interval 33 months clinical information available on 153 patients. Patients followed until magnetic resonance (MR) studies suggested complete AVM thrombosis. An arteriogram then...
Abstract Purpose. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results radiotherapy (RT) alone or combined with surgery for adenoid cystic carcinoma. Methods. Between September 1966 and November 2001, 101 previously untreated patients were treated curative intent RT surgery. Follow‐up ranged from 0.4–30.6 years (median, 6.6 years). All living had follow‐up at least 1 year. Results. 5‐ 10‐year rates local control as follows: alone, 56% 43%; RT, 94% 91%; overall, 77% 69%. Multivariate analysis...
