Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is the distressful defecatory functional problem after sphincter-saving surgery for rectal cancer. Although symptoms of fecal urgency, frequency, and incontinence may develop in most patients surgery, there no definitive treatments LARS. Multifactorial etiologies various risk factors have been identified, but reduction storage capacity rectum one main reas...

Abstract We investigate multiple testing and variable selection using the Least Angle Regression (LARS) algorithm in high dimensions under assumption of Gaussian noise. LARS is known to produce a piecewise affine solution path with change points referred as knots path. The key our results an expression closed form exact joint law $K$-tuple conditional on variables selected by LARS, so-called po...

Photochromic Materials. In their Communication (e202214202), Lars Heinke et al. report nanoporous films with oriented arrays of molecular motors for light-controlled adsorption and diffusion.

We consider situations in which agents are not able to completely distinguish between all alternatives. Preferences respect individual objective indifferences if any two alternatives are indifferent whenever an agent cannot distinguish between them. We present necessary and sufficient conditions of such a domain of preferences under which majority rule is quasi-transitive and thus Condorcet win...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic on spectrum that has an array of management options ranging from lifestyle changes, acid suppressive therapy to laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (LARS). Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) endoscopic procedure in the GERD re-establishes and augments gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV). TIF appropriate for patients do not have hiatal her...

Professor Goodhart has written a thoughtful and interesting paper on the conduct of monetary policy at the Bank of England. He uses a unique database, containing the inflation and output forecasts of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), to examine the Committee’s behaviour over the past five years and to test a number of intriguing hypotheses. The descriptive nature of the paper provides a usef...

This paper examines optimal monetary policy in an open-economy two-country model with sticky prices. We find that optimal policy must target not only inflation and the output gap, but also the currency misalignment. However the interest rate reaction function that supports this targeting rule involves only the CPI inflation rate. This result highlights how examination of interest-rate reaction ...
