Clinical Study Sex, Prescribing Practices and Guideline Recommended, Blood Pressure, and LDL Cholesterol Targets at Baseline in the BARI 2D Trial
"... Background. Research has shown less aggressive treatment and poorer control of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in women than men. Methods. We analyzed sex differences in pharmacotherapy strategies and attainment of goals for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood pressure (BP), and low density lip ..."

number of drugs being taken for the 4 risk categories assessed, including antiplatelet/anticoagulants, approached 7 agents and did not differ between women and men (6.64 ± 2.08 versus 6.57 ± 2.17, = 0.43). An analysis by sex of the percent of subjects who met the prespecified clinical targets for HbA1c

that interventions that attempted to change a broad array of health behaviors, such as body weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking, were less effective than programs that focused solely on body weight. Our clinical experience from designing and evaluating prevention programs also suggests
Governing biological material at the intersection of care and research: the use of dried blood spots for biobanking
, 2012
"... Abstract A series of governance issues currently surrounds the multiple uses and multiple users of dried blood spots (DBS) for research purposes. Internationally there is a discussion on storing DBS resulting from newborn screening for public health and using them as the basis for large biobanklike ..."

Seizure Prediction: The Long and the Winding Road,
- Brain,
, 2007
"... The sudden and apparently unpredictable nature of seizures is one of the most disabling aspects of the disease epilepsy. A method capable of predicting the occurrence of seizures from the electroencephalogram (EEG) of epilepsy patients would open new therapeutic possibilities. Since the 1970s inves ..."

Magnet: Robust and Efficient Collection through Control and Data Plane Integration
"... Despite being a core networking primitive, collection protocols today often suffer from poor reliability (e.g., 70%) in practice, and heavily used protocols have never been evaluated in terms of communication efficiency. Using detailed experimental studies, we describe three challenges that cause ex ..."

Efficient Management of Data Center Resources for Massively Multiplayer
"... (MMOGs) can include millions of concurrent players spread across the world. To keep these highly-interactive virtual environments online, a MMOG operator may need to provision tens of thousands of computing resources from various data centers. Faced with large resource demand variability, and with m ..."

, and with misfit resource renting policies, the current industry practice is to maintain for each game tens of self-owned data centers. In this work we investigate the dynamic resource provisioning from external data centers for MMOG operation. We introduce a novel MMOG workload model that represents the dynamics
