Asymptotic periodicity of nonlinear discrete Volterra equations and applications
No full textSufficient conditions for the asymptotic periodicity of solutions of nonlinear discrete Volterra equations of Hammerstein type are obtained. Such results are applied to analyze the property of a class of numerical methods to preserve the asymptotic periodicity of the analytical solution of Volterra integral equations

This species is similar to A. saharae in general appearance but can be separated by its pronotum with median carina concave, sharply crossed by posterior sulcus at posterior fifth; prosternal process with anterior margin rounded (Chopard, 1943).

Clinical trials in children and adolescents with systemic lupus erythematosus: Methodological aspects, regulatory landscape and future opportunities
No full textChildhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) is rare in many regions of the world, including Europe. Access to approved medications for cSLE is currently limited, among others, due to a lack of high-quality evidence from clinical trials. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the current regulatory framework regarding medication approvals, delineate barriers to clinical trial conduct, and strategies to improve access to new medications for cSLE. Relevant methodological and regulatory aspects, epidemiological data, study designs and outcome measures are reviewed, and the results of a survey among Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation/Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Study Group investigators are presented. Laws and regulations in the USA and Europe necessitate that novel medicines are studied in paediatric populations, if similar or the same diseases in adults have been found to benefit from them. Regulatory agencies consider cSLE the paediatric form of SLE in adults. For medicines that have been found safe and effective in adult SLE, paediatric extrapolation strategies can limit the number and complexity of studies needed to support the labelling of these medicines for use in cSLE. In this setting, specialised research networks, validated outcome measures, stakeholder input, study designs as well as statistical methods successfully used in other uncommon diseases will help improve study efficiency in an effort to enhance the speed with which new drugs for cSLE can be studied. Open-label pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies are preferred by paediatric rheumatologists over double-blind parallel designs for cSLE trials. Appropriate infrastructure, outcome measures and sufficient numbers of patients are available for the testing of new medicines for children with cSLE
Socio-demographic influences on trends of fish consumption during later adult life in the Whitehall II study
No full textOur aim was to investigate how socio-demographic factors influence trends and age-related trajectories of fish consumption. We examined consumption of total, fried and recommended fish (white and oily fish. and shellfish) in the Whitehall 11 study over I I years in participants aged 39-59 years at phase 3. The cohort included 8358 British civil servants who completed a FFQ at phase 3 (1991-3). phase 5 (1997-9. n 5430) and phase 7 (2002-4 n 5692). Occupational grade. ethnicity, marital and retirement status were collected at each phase. To analyse changes in age-related trends of fish intake over time according to socio-demographic characteristics. we applied a random mixed-effect model. Over the follow-up a significant increase in consumption of 'recommended' (mean: 1.85 to 2.22 portions/week) and total fish (mean: 2.32 to 2.65 portions/week) and a decreasing trend in fried-fish intake (mean: 0.47 to 0.43 portions/week) was observed. Recommended. fried and total fish consumption differed by occupational status, ethnicity. marital Status and sex. The trend of age-related fish intake diverged significantly by ethnicity. In South Asian participants (n 432). slope of recommended-fish consumption was significantly higher compared with white participants (0.077 v. 0.025 portions/week per year). For black participants (n 275) slope of fried-fish intake was significantly higher compared with white participants (0.0052 v. -0.0025 portions/week per year). In terms of public health. our descriptive and analytical work allows detailed Understanding of the impact of socio-demographic factors oil fish intake and its age-related trends. Such information is Valuable for food policies that seek to promote health equity
