title: BIOL 3250 Systematic Review Spreadsheet.xls

description: The purpose of this Systematic Review is to analysis the estimated population size of mosquitoes in their specific habitats on a global. I chose this topic because mosquitoes are found in a large portion of the globe and are well known as a disease carrying organisms and a common nuisance around the world. A better understanding of their populations around the world could give us insight to the amount of disease carrying organisms that are present. This meta analysis will begin with 112 papers that were filtered with the following key words: mosquito*, population, mark-release-recapture. This Systematic review will be accumulating data on the following variables: Population, Country of Study, Latitude & Longitude of Study, Common and Latin names of mosquito species, Taxa, Richness, Diversity, Number of Major and Minor Site, Macro and Micro habitats and Hypotheses.

title: Equality-Minded Treatment Choice*

description: The goal of many randomized experiments and quasi-experimental studies in economics is to inform policies that aim to raise incomes and reduce economic inequality. A policy maximizing the sum of individual incomes may not be desirable if it magnifies economic inequality and post-treatment redistribution of income is infeasible. This paper develops a method to estimate the optimal treatment assignment policy based on observable individual covariates when the policy objective is to maximize an <i>equality-minded rank-dependent social welfare function</i>, which puts higher weight on individuals with lower-ranked outcomes. We estimate the optimal policy by maximizing a sample analog of the rank-dependent welfare over a properly constrained set of policies. We show that the average social welfare attained by our estimated policy converges to the maximal attainable welfare at n−1/2 rate uniformly over a large class of data distributions when the propensity score is known. We also show that this rate is minimax optimal. We provide an application of our method using the data from the National JTPA Study.

title: Positive psychological characteristics in patients with metabolic syndrome associated with prospective changes in diet and anthropometric factors

description: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing worldwide and diet therapy plays a key role in treating this disease. Since most patients show difficulties in adhering to nutritional interventions, research on the association of positive psychological characteristics with greater engagement in healthy behaviors and better physical health is relevant to this field. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between positive psychology attributes (optimism, hope, self-esteem, positive/negative affect and life satisfaction) and changes in diet quality and anthropometric parameters of individuals with MetS who received nutritional counseling. The study assessed 63 patients (age 55.3 ± 14.1) at a nutrition outpatient clinic. Anthropometric parameters and 24-hour food recall data (for evaluation of the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index - Revised – BHEI-R) were collected at the first visit and subsequent return visit, on average five months later. Psychological data were collected at the first visit using validated and standardized scales. The results were adjusted in relation to the depression scores of the patients, which were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Changes in anthropometric factors and in the BHEI-R were assessed, associating them with the psychological attributes investigated. The results indicated that positive affect and hope were associated with improvement in BHEI-R scores (Cohen effect sizes -0.65 and -0.58; p = 0.012 and 0.025, respectively). A significant association was also observed between optimism and a reduction in abdominal circumference (Cohen effect size 0.56; p = 0.031). The associations remained significant even after adjusting for the BDI-II (p = 0.022, p = 0.037 and p = 27 0.05, respectively). No statistically significant associations were observed for the other attributes assessed. The study suggests that some attributes may have greater influence on the nutritional treatment of MetS and that future studies should be conducted in order to enable effective multidisciplinary interventions to treat MetS.

title: A Fast Algorithm for Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Mixture Proportions Using Sequential Quadratic Programming*

description: Maximum likelihood estimation of mixture proportions has a long history, and continues to play an important role in modern statistics, including in development of nonparametric empirical Bayes methods. Maximum likelihood of mixture proportions has traditionally been solved using the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, but recent work by Koenker & Mizera shows that modern convex optimization techniques—in particular, interior point methods—are substantially faster and more accurate than EM. Here, we develop a new solution based on sequential quadratic programming (SQP). It is substantially faster than the interior point method, and just as accurate. Our approach combines several ideas: first, it solves a reformulation of the original problem; second, it uses an SQP approach to make the best use of the expensive gradient and Hessian computations; third, the SQP iterations are implemented using an active set method to exploit the sparse nature of the quadratic subproblems; fourth, it uses accurate low-rank approximations for more efficient gradient and Hessian computations. We illustrate the benefits of the SQP approach in experiments on synthetic data sets and a large genetic association data set. In large data sets (n≈106 observations, m≈103 mixture components), our implementation achieves at least 100-fold reduction in runtime compared with a state-of-the-art interior point solver. Our methods are implemented in Julia and in an R package available on CRAN (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mixsqp).

title: Supplementary Material for: Biomarkers of Cardiac Dysfunction as Risk Factors in Cryptogenic Stroke

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> It is unclear whether biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction are associated with cryptogenic stroke (CS). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively evaluated consecutive ischemic stroke patients. Patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography to evaluate left atrial diameter and the peak transmitral filling velocity/mean mitral annular velocity during early diastole (E/e’). Patent foramen ovale (PFO) and left atrial appendage flow velocity were evaluated by transesophageal echocardiography. We compared clinical characteristics and biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction (brain natriuretic peptide [BNP], left atrial diameter, E/e’, and left atrial appendage flow velocity) between CS or CS without large PFO and other causative stroke subtypes. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Among 1,514 patients with ischemic stroke, 264 patients were classified as having CS. Of these, transesophageal echocardiography revealed 27/158 (17%) large PFOs. In comparison, for the noncardioembolic stroke group, which consisted of large artery and small vessel subtypes, patients with CS without large PFO had higher log10 BNP (adjusted OR 2.70; 95% CI 1.92–3.78; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), higher log10 E/e’ (3.41; 1.21–13.15; <i>p</i> = 0.019), and lower left atrial appendage flow velocity (0.98; 0.97–1.00; <i>p</i> = 0.031). Left atrial diameter was similar for noncardioembolic stroke and CS without large PFO (<i>p</i> = 0.380). Cutoff values of BNP, E/e’, and left atrial appendage flow velocity capable of distinguishing CS without large PFO from noncardioembolic stroke were 65.0 pg/mL (sensitivity 55.3%; specificity 70.9%), 13.0 (45.5%; 68.0%), and 46.0 cm/s (37.1%; 87.5%), respectively. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Patients with CS without large PFO could have biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction.

title: Supplementary Material for: Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 in Colorectal Cancer Development and Progression

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading gastrointestinal malignancy. The development from premalignant intraepithelial lesions leading to invasive cancer is paradigmatic for the stepwise carcinogenesis of epithelial cancers, but the knowledge of the underlying mechanism of carcinogenesis and progression of CRC is still incomplete. The understanding of epigenetic mechanisms of carcinogenesis has led to new therapeutic approaches during the last years. <i>Enhancer of zeste homolog 2</i> (EZH2) is one central epigenetic silencer of the <i>polycomb repressor complex 2</i> (PRC2) that is already in clinical use as a novel drug target and is associated with poorer prognosis in several cancer entities. <b><i>Patients and Methods:</i></b> The protein expression of EZH2 and other members of the PRC2 as well as resulting posttranslational modifications were investigated by immunohistochemistry in 187 patients with CRC and in 94 patients with premalignant colorectal lesions and correlated with their clinical outcome. Furthermore, the corresponding mRNA expression levels were analyzed in 217 patients with rectal cancer that were enrolled in a prospective clinical trial. <b><i>Results:</i></b> We found a weak expression of EZH2 in normal colon mucosa that increased in low grade, peaked in high grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and decreased again in invasive CRC. The posttranslational modification caused by EZH2 as a measure of EZH2 activity showed the same behavior. Strong protein and mRNA expression of EZH2 were significantly correlated with favorable prognosis in both investigated cohorts. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The expression and activity of EZH2 are associated with colorectal carcinogenesis and most expressed in intraepithelial high-grade lesions. Strong expression of EZH2 is associated with a significantly favorable prognosis in patients suffering from CRC.

title: Supplementary Material for: Clinical Characteristics and Antifungal Susceptibility of <b><i>Candida nivariensis</i></b> from Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

description: <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aim of this work is to evaluate the susceptibility profile of the isolates against antifungal drugs and the level of virulent genes and resistant genes mRNA expression of <i>Candida nivariensis</i>. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We analyzed a collection of 9 <i>C. nivariensis</i> isolates from clinical isolates of <i>Candida glabrata</i> complex isolated from patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). Antifungal susceptibilities of the isolates were assayed by using the broth microdilution method. The level of virulent genes and resistant genes mRNA expression was determined by using real-time PCR. <b><i>Results:</i></b> At day 7–14 and day 30–35 follow-up, mycological cure of VVC caused by <i>C. nivariensis</i> was 5 in 9 and 4 in 9 cases. The minimum inhibitory concentration geometric means of caspofungin, fluconazole, itraconazole, and amphotericin B in <i>C. nivariensis</i> isolates were higher than those in <i>Candida albicans</i> ATCC90028 (0.340, 1.852, 0.367, and 1.587 vs. 0.124, 0.140, 0.030, and 0.891 µg/mL; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). The level of resistant genes ERG11, CDR1, and CDR2 and virulent genes YPS1, AWP3, and EPA1 mRNA expression was higher in <i>C. nivariensis</i> isolates than that of <i>C. glabrata</i> (2.58 ± 0.78, 9.31 ± 5.19, 11.10 ± 0.76, 13.57 ± 0.54, 11.96 ± 2.93, and 14.40 ± 0.61 vs. 1.05 ± 1.19, 2.22 ± 0.27, 0.85 ± 0.48, 0.30 ± 0.37, 1.90 ± 0.43, and 2.40 ± 0.65). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> We conclude that patients infected with <i>C. nivariensis</i> were symptomatic and with a low mycological cure rate when treated with commonly used antifungal agents. Compared with <i>C. albicans</i>, <i>C. nivariensis</i> is more antifungal resistant and virulent.
