On the Effect of Estimation Error for the Risk-Adjusted Charts by Sajid Ali, Naila Altaf, Ismail Shah, Lichen Wang, Syed Muhammad Muslim Raza

“…Furthermore, a bootstrap method is also used to compute the ARL assuming different Phase-I data sets to minimize the effect of estimation error on risk-adjusted control charts. The results for cardiac surgery and respiratory disease data sets show that the modified control charts improve the performance in detecting small shifts.…”

Intermittent Atrioventricular Block following Fingolimod Initiation by E. Gialafos, S. Gerakoulis, A. Grigoriou, V. Haina, C. Kilidireas, E. Stamboulis, E. Andreadou

“…Frequency domain analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) revealed increased parasympathetic activity and decreased sympathetic tone, while modified Ewing tests were suggestive of impaired cardiac sympathetic function. We hypothesize that expression of this particular arrhythmia might be related to autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction due to demyelinating lesions in the upper thoracic spinal cord, possibly augmented by the parasympathetic effect of the drug.…”
