The recent advent of genetic genealogy has brought about a renewed interest in genome-scale forensic analyses, of which kinship estimation is a critical component. Most genomic kinship estimators cons...
Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies reported inconsistent results for comparison in brain activation between migraine patients and healthy controls (HC). Thus, activation lik...
Studies published before October 2022 were searched in the following databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar)....
Migraine without aura (MWoA) patients showed reduced amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) in right lingual gyrus, the left posterior cingulate and the right precuneus (PCUN), compared to HC....
ALE analysis identified consistent functional changes in widespread regions, especially in cingulate gyrus, basal ganglia region and frontal cortex in migraine. These regions involve in pain processin...
The mean residual life (MRL) function is one of the basic parameters of interest in survival analysis. In this paper, we develop three procedures based on modified versions of empirical likelihood (EL...
In practice, a disease process might involve three ordinal diagnostic stages: the normal healthy stage, the early stage of the disease, and the stage of full development of the disease. Early detectio...
Prior research has shown that acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medical therapy, may have a certain therapeutic effect in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Furthermore, some studies have...
We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, SinoMed, CNKI and other databases in Chinese and English to identify neuroimaging studies of acupuncture interventions in MCI patients. After two stages o...
The changes in functional activation of 95 different areas in 8 trials, including 212 MCI patients, were analysed. The three most commonly used traditional acupuncture point locations in acupuncture i...
Acupuncture intervention for MCI appears to change the plasticity of brain function and improve the cognitive function of patients. Due to the small number and low quality of the included studies, the...

Phylogenetics has a crucial role in genomic epidemiology. Enabled by unparalleled volumes of genome sequence data generated to study and help contain the COVID-19 pandemic, phylogenetic analyses of SA...
The default mode network (DMN) is thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of bipolar depression (BD). However, the findings of prior studies on DMN alterations in BD are inconsistent. Thus, this...
We systematically searched PubMed, Ovid, and Web of Science for functional neuroimaging studies on regional homogeneity, amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF), and functional connectivity of ...
A total of 43 original research studies were included in the meta-analysis. BD patients showed specific changes in the DMN including decreased ALFF/fractional ALFF in the left cingulate gyrus (CG) and...
Conclusions are limited by the small number of studies, additional meta-analyses are needed to obtain more data in BD subgroup....
This meta-analysis supports specific changes in DMN activity and FC in BD patients, which may be powerful biomarkers for the diagnosis of BD. The CG and PCUN were the most affected regions and are thu...
The ROC curve and its associated summary statistic, the AUC, are used to identify informative diagnostic biomarkers under the assumption that risk of disease is a monotone function of the biomarker. W...
We suggest a novel method for detecting mortality deceleration by adding a penalty to the log-likelihood function in a gamma-Gompertz setting. This is an alternative to traditional likelihood inferenc...
