Small resident bird species living at northern latitudes increase their metabolism in winter, and this is widely assumed to improve their chances of survival. However, the relationship between winter metabolic performance ...

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and progressive disease. Long-term survival remains poor despite of advances in specific vasodilator therapy. Aim: To describe the survival rate in a cohort of ...

In this paper we deal with a Bayesian analysis for right-censored survival data suitable for populations with a cure rate. We consider a cure rate model based on the negative binomial distribution, encompassing as a special ...

Survival and maturation rates of female Mastomys natalensis were analysed based on a ten‐year monthly capture‐recapture data set. We investigated whether direct and delayed density dependent and independent (rainfall) ...

We propose a new class of survival models for time-to-event data with a cure fraction. This new model is an extension of the promotion time cure rate model. Furthermore, we extend the model to the regression model to ...

In many data sets from clinical studies there are patients insusceptible to the occurrence of the event of interest. Survival models which ignore this fact are generally inadequate. The main goal of this paper is to describe ...

Introduction: The use of removable partial denture (RPD) is considered as low-cost and common treatment option to rehabilitate edentulous areas. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological data of patients ...

The aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective evaluation of the survival and success rates of dental implants with acid-etched surfaces after 8-10 years of function. Forty-four patients who received 183 implants ...
