Defining the relationship between maternal care behavior and hearing development in Wistar rats
<p>Previous studies in rodents have demonstrated the profound effects that variations in maternal care play during the postnatal development of the brain. However, much less is known about how maternal care affects hearing development. Recently, manipulations of maternal care have been investigated …

Defining the Relationship Between Mechanical Stress and Inadvertent Intestinal Tissue Injury In Laparoscopic Surgery
The potential to use an inappropriate amount of force when handling tissue is much higher in laparoscopic surgery than in open surgical approaches because surgeons lose the ability to directly touch and feel delicate tissue. The two most commonly injured tissues in laparoscopic surgery are the …

Integrative Multivariate Analysis of Mouse Liver Acini
Hepatocytes are the primary constituents of liver cells, performing numerous functions vital for sustaining life. The microenvironment of these cells is not homogeneous; specifically, two cell types known as periportal and pericentral hepatocytes in the liver are region-specific. This is due to the …

Sample size determination for Emax model, equivalence / non-inferiority test and drug combination in fixed dose trials.
Sample size determination is one of the most important aspects in clinical designs. Careful selection of appropriate sample sizes can not only save economic and human resources, but also improve model performance and efficiency. We first explore the sample sizes of Emax model for a simple one group …
