A report from the Kids Research Institute discusses the influence of community perception on vaccine safety and its impact on vaccine uptake. The researchers used causal inference and Bayesian statistics to understand the factors that affect signal detection in vaccine safety monitoring. They found that factors such as the severity of adverse reactions and healthcare-seeking behavior can influence signal detection. These findings have implications for future vaccine safety monitoring. The full report can be accessed for free at the npj Vaccines website. [Extracted from the article]

A new report discusses research conducted at the University of Edinburgh on bacterial infections and mycoses. The study focuses on the detection of pathogenic bacteria in the distal lung using optical endomicroscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM). The researchers propose an iterative Bayesian approach for bacterial detection in FLIM, which outperforms existing methods by 16.85% in terms of detection accuracy. The study highlights the potential of this technology for rapid and accurate identification of bacterial infections, particularly in critical care settings. [Extracted from the article]

A preprint abstract from medrxiv.org discusses the use of causal inference and Bayesian statistics to understand vaccine safety signals. The study addresses challenges in active vaccine safety monitoring, such as survey response rates and unbiased reporting. The researchers used causal directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and statistical methods to analyze biological and behavioral factors that may influence vaccine safety signal detection. The study found that survey participation and availability of adverse event following immunization (AEFI) data influenced the detection of true and false signals. The researchers highlight the value of causal DAGs in accounting for survey non-response and guiding vaccine safety monitoring. Please note that this preprint has not been peer-reviewed.

A report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discusses the hesitancy of the clinical trials community to adopt Bayesian statistical methods in drug development. The researchers conducted a survey to identify barriers to implementing Bayesian methods and preferences for becoming comfortable with them. The survey found that over 56% of respondents expressed little to no comfort in interpreting Bayesian analyses, with insufficient knowledge being the most important perceived barrier. The researchers recommend in-person training as the most preferred approach for gaining comfort with Bayesian methods. They suggest that increased coverage of Bayesian methods at medical conferences and medical school trainings would help overcome the knowledge barriers faced by medical researchers.

Curiously, because likelihood ratios assess how more often symptoms develop if abuse did occur versus non-abuse, Bayes' theorem then implies a 100% infant abuse incidence (unwittingly) used by LECK.

According to news reporting out of Nijmegen, Netherlands, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Reduced anticipatory reward-related activity, especially in the ventral striatum (VS), may underly adolescent vulnerability to develop nicotine dependence. It remains unclear whether nicotine uptake caused by environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure, known to be associated with future smoking, might prompt similar changes in the brain's reward system, rendering adolescents vulnerable for development of nicotine dependence.".
