Summary: Biostatistics are frequently used in cardiothoracic surgery research, with a wide variety of statistical methods reported in most articles. Only a small percentage of articles rely solely on descriptive statistics, requiring a higher level of statistical knowledge for understanding.

Summary: Deviations from Brownian motion leading to anomalous diffusion are commonly found in transport dynamics, but challenging to characterize. An open competition comparing different approaches for single trajectory analysis showed that machine learning methods outperform classical approaches.

Summary: Causal inference in observational research requires careful adjustment for confounding, and one approach is the use of propensity score analyses. This editorial focuses on the role of propensity score-based methods in estimating causal effects from non-randomised observational data. It highlights the details, assumptions, and limitations of these methods and provides guidelines for authors to conduct and report propensity score analyses.

Summary: This study provides best practice guidelines and pitfalls of regression modeling in surgical oncology research using real working examples. Through analyzing patients who underwent breast reconstruction surgery, it was found that age, marital status, and surgical technique were significantly associated with breast health scores, while body mass index, age, surgical technique, and complications were related to the likelihood of experiencing complications.

Summary: This study examines the impact of audit quality on the choice of seasoned equity offering (SEO) issuance method in the U.S. Using a sample from 2002 to 2017, it finds that firms with higher quality auditors are more likely to adopt the accelerated offerings method. The study also identifies that audit tenure and industry specialization influence this relationship, with the effect being stronger in weaker information and governance environments. Additionally, it shows that firms completing accelerated offerings enjoy lower audit fees and exhibit superior long-term stock performance.

Summary: Bayesian statistics approach introduces experts' opinions in quantitative analysis, particularly suitable for resolving the issue of observation shortage and handling subjective or abstract variables in the hospitality industry. Its potential importance in hospitality management research lies in its unique ability to incorporate expert opinions and tackle specific challenges in the field.

Summary: Intersectionality theory investigates how systems of power and oppression influence marginalized groups, but there is a lack of consistent quantitative methods. This review identified eight classes of quantitative methods used in intersectionality research, with regression being the most common approach. Researchers should pay attention to maintaining the core tenets of intersectionality and avoid using methods that contradict its principles.

Summary: This study evaluated the extent and quality of patient involvement reporting in current health research. A targeted search strategy was used to identify 86 publications that reported patient involvement. The results showed that patients were most frequently involved in study design and conduct, and the reporting of patient involvement was often incomplete with low quality.

Summary: A characterization of quantitative research applications of intersectionality from 1989 to mid-2020 revealed challenges in applying intersectionality theoretical frameworks in quantitative research, with about one in four articles failing to define intersectionality and about one in six including intersectional position components not reflective of social power. Quantitative methods were found to be simplistic and often misapplied or misinterpreted, highlighting the need for further work in understanding key features of quantitative intersectionality analyses and improving reporting practices.

Summary: There is no computable, randomized method to produce a sample that does not contain outliers of a given computable probability measure P. Additionally, the minimum length of a program that computes a complete extension of a binary predicate gamma is bounded by the size of the domain of gamma and the information it has with the halting sequence.

Summary: This study analyzed nurses' responses to a survey on what could have improved their working lives during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The results identified key areas for improvement, including the provision of personal protective equipment, support for the workforce, and better communication. The findings highlight the importance of addressing these issues to ensure the safety and well-being of nurses and to prevent negative long-term impacts on their retention.
