A Bayesian Hierarchical Approach to Quasi-Replicate Dataset Modelling by Hassan M. Aljohani, Robert G. Aykroyd

“…For example, there may be some parameters which are expected to be equal, some which can be ordered, and others which follow more complex relationships. The proposed modelling approach is motivated by and illustrated using a collection of 18 autoradiography line-source experiments, which are then used to determine details of a blur function used in the analysis of electron microscope autoradiography images. …”

Clinical analysis of different intestinal reconstruction methods after primary cytoreductive surgery combined with rectal resection for advanced ovarian cancer by Huimin Wang, Xiaocen Li, Ying Jiang, Jinxin Chen, Rong Cao, Jingru Zhang

“…For patients with good intraoperative and postoperative outcomes, one anastomosis, an anastomosis located above the peritoneal reflection, low PCI or optimal cytoreductive surgery, intestinal anastomosis can be carried out to restore the normal physiological function of the intestine. For patients with a large volume of ascites (≥500 mL), multiple anastomoses or an anastomosis located below the peritoneal reflection, intestinal anastomosis combined with protective enterostomy has an advantage over intestinal anastomosis alone.…”
