quality of life of leprosy sequelae patients living in a former leprosarium under home care Univariate Analysis
Quality of Life Research, 2014Co-Authors: Leonardo Cancado Monteiro Savassi, Tatiana Roberta Sarubi Bogutchi, Anna Carolina Lustosa Lima, Celina Maria ModenaAbstract:Quality of life (QoL) is a broad concept that has become more important during the last decades. Despite this fact, few studies have been conducted to evaluate leprosy patients, none of which has specifically addressed patients with leprosy sequels submitted to home care. To evaluate the QoL of leprosy sequel bearers and the factors that may affect their perception of their condition. WHOQoL-BREF, a questionnaire developed by the World Health Organization, was administered to 32 people living in the coverage area of a former leprosarium. Patient socio-demographic and care-related caregiver data were collected. Activities of daily living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scales were used to evaluate autonomy. Mini-Mental Status Examination was used to evaluate cognitive status. Simple linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS Statistical Software and the non-standardized beta values were presented. The patients were mainly female, widowed, elderly, with bone sequels; all had impairment of at least one Instrumental Daily Living Activity. QoL scores were 12.35 in a 4–20 scale (52.18 %) in the physical domain, 12.95 (55.94 %) in the psychological health domain, 13.18 (57.40 %) in the environment domain, and 16.09 (75.56 %) in the social domain. Univariate Analysis suggests that instrumental daily activity “capacity of shopping,” marital status, and caregiver age were associated with self-perceived QoL. Data were also compared to those from other studies. Individuals affected by leprosy had low QoL scores in the physical and psychological health domains and high scores in the social domain. The factors that impact their QoL seem to be related to specific conditions found in the leprosarium and the previous isolation practices.

probability waves adaptive cluster based correction by convolution of p value series from mass Univariate Analysis
Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2021Co-Authors: Dimitri Marques AbramovAbstract:Abstract Background Methods for p-value correction are criticized for either increasing Type II error or improperly reducing Type I error in large exploratory data Analysis. This text considers patterns in probability vectors resulting from mass Univariate Analysis to correct p-values, where clusters of significant p-values may indicate true H0 rejection. New method We used ERP experimental data from control and ADHD boys to test the method. The Log10 of p-vector was convolved with a Gaussian window whose length was set as the shortest lag above which autocorrelation of each ERP wave may be assumed to have vanished. We realized Monte-Carlo simulations (MC) to (1) evaluate confidence intervals of rejected and non-rejected areas of our data, (2) to evaluate differences between corrected and uncorrected p-vectors or simulated ones in terms of distribution of significant p-values, and (3) to empirically verify the type-I error rate (comparing 10,000 pairs of mixed samples whit control and ADHD subjects). Results The differences between simulation or raw p-vector and corrected p-vectors were, respectively, minimal and maximal for window length set by autocorrelation in p-vector convolution. Comparison with existing methods Our method was less conservative while FDR methods rejected basically all significant p-values.The MC simulations presented 2.78 ± 4.83% of difference (20 channels) from corrected p-vector, while difference from raw p-vector was 596 ± 5.00% (p = 0.0003). Conclusion As a cluster-based correction, the present new method seems to be biological and statistically suitable to correct p-values in mass Univariate Analysis of ERP waves, which adopts adaptive parameters to correction.
