A randomised controlled trial comparing epinephrine and dexamethasone to placebo in the treatment of infants with bronchiolitis (BIPED study): a statistical analysis plan | Trials | Full Text
Outcomes will be collected with a standardised survey issued to parents/caregivers either over email or by telephone 7 and 21 days after enrollment in the BIPED study. Non-responders will be sent a second email and, if necessary, up to six attempted phone calls over 3 days. Once 21 days have elapsed following enrolment, the participant’s medical record will be reviewed to track any return ED visits, hospital admissions and additional healthcare contact.
Anxiolysis for laceration repair in children: statistical analysis plan for an open-label multicenter adaptive trial (ALICE) - Trials
This trial will use an intention-to-treat analysis with Bayesian statistics. We will report posterior means, standard deviations (SDs), and 95% highest posterior density credible intervals. We restrict inferential analyses to three secondary outcomes and descriptively report other endpoints. The primary analysis will look for superiority based on Pbest. Pbest will be calculated as the proportion of posterior samples that indicate that the intervention is associated with the lowest mean OSBD-R score.

Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series
The primary objectives of the series are to provide useful reference books for researchers and scientists in academia, industry, and government, and also to offer textbooks for undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of biostatistics and bioinformatics. The book series will provide comprehensive and unified presentations of statistical designs and analyses of important applications in biostatistics and bioinformatics, such as those in biological and biomedical research.
On an aging campus, Carolina Housing continues plans for residence hall renovations
As a requirement for all first-years, most UNC students receive the on-campus housing experience sometime during their time in Chapel Hill. Through renovations and new developments in on-campus housing, the University attempts to balance both student needs and affordability. But as the campus ages, residence halls across campus have undergone smaller-scale renovations over the past few years, such as central air upgrades, new windows and new tiling.
Sustainability in sorting - CDS campaign promotes composting and recycling
Compost. Recycle. Landfill. Waste in Lenoir Dining Hall is divided into these three categories. This system intends to increase campus sustainability, though students and community members sometimes ignore or misunderstand it. To curb this issue, Carolina Dining Services is using social media and student volunteers to promote proper composting and recycling. CDS created the Eat Sort Win campaign to teach students and community members about their role in making UNC more sustainable.

Funding destruction: we need to talk about fisheries subsidies | Synchronicity Earth
Far off the east coast of New Zealand in the wild and remote waters of the southwest Pacific Ocean, there is a collection of colossal under-sea volcanoes which act as magnets for marine life. Rising up from the seafloor, these ‘seamounts’ are renowned for supporting a vast array of deep-sea species, many of which cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
