It is becoming more important to subtract renormalons efficiently from perturbative calculations, in order achieve high precision QCD calculations. We propose a new framework ``Dual Space Approach" for renormalon separation, which enables subtraction of multiple simultaneously. Using dual transform suppresses infrared renormalons, we derive one-parameter integral representation general observab...

Background and ObjectiveThere is considerable actual potential waste in research. Using evidence-based research (EBR) can ensure the value of a new study. The aim this article, third series, to describe an EBR approach putting results into context.Study Design SettingEBR use prior systematic transparent way inform study so that it answering questions matter valid, efficient, accessible manner. ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the cost-effectiveness of the elbasvir/grazoprevir (EBR/GZR) regimen in patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with severe and end-stage renal disease compared to no treatment. DESIGN This study uses a health economic model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of treating previously untreated and treatment experienced chronic hepatitis C patients ...

OBJECTIVE Pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes (i.e., hyperglycemia) are characterized by insulin resistance (IR). These problems with energy metabolism may exacerbate emotional reactivity to negatively valenced stimuli and related phenomena like predisposition toward negative affect, as well as cognitive deficits. Higher emotional reactivity is seen with hyperglycemia and IR. Yet, it is largely un...
