The interaction network and potential clinical effectiveness of dimensional psychopathology phenotyping based on EMR: a Bayesian network approach by Jianqing Qiu, Ting Zhu, Ke Qin, Wei Zhang

“…Through Bayesian network (BN) analysis, we identified relatively consistent interaction relationships among various RDoC domains (NVS → AS, NVS → CS, NVS → PVS, as well as CS → SPS; parameter range = 0.156 to 0.635, p < 0.001). Lastly, using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models, we demonstrated that AS was significantly associated with the length of hospital stay (-0.21, p < 0.05) and 30-day readmission risk (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.91–0.99) to some extent. …”

Garner, Rodrigo Daminello Raimundo

“…Compared to the control group, in the group submitted to aerobic exercise + resistance training, no significant change was noted for HbA1c (subtotal = mean difference − 0.35 [95% CI: −0.85, 0.15], p = .17, and heterogeneity = 0%) (GRADE: very low), nevertheless, HOMA-IR index was significantly improved (subtotal = mean difference −0.52 [95% CI: −0.99, −0.05], p = .03, and heterogeneity = 0%) (GRADE: very low).Conclusion Despite the very low certainty found in the quality of evidences, our analysis showed that aerobic exercise along with strength exercise seems to improve some metabolic diabetes markers in postmenopausal women with T2DM. …”
