Figure Lengend Snippet: Period prevalence of stage B2 and PH2 by age group among girls with and without allergies. Adjusted OR for PH2 association with allergies, 1.60 (CI 1.10–2.34); for B2, the adjusted ORs were null (see Table 3, GEE models). For girls with allergies, age is that at first diagnosis of allergy. Girls without allergies reported no diagnosis or medicine use at that age or prior. Girls with allergies reported diagnosis or medicine at that age or prior. Shown are all girls with allergies. Of these, most reported allergies were in the same timeframe as puberty or after puberty, B2 (108/166; 65%) and Ph2 (91/166; 55%). BCERP, 2004–2012.

Article Snippet: Therefore, we analyzed risk for allergies as the outcome associated with puberty using longitudinal generalized estimating equation (GEE) models having compound symmetry correlation matrix (PROC GENMOD in SAS).

Techniques: Biomarker Discovery

Figure Lengend Snippet: Increased plasma levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 after CPB began. ( A ) Schematic representation of blood sample collection from CPB patients at different time points. ( B – D ) Plasma cytokine levels (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8) before and after CPB began (2 h, 4 h and 24 h) were quantified by ELISA. The results are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 21). The experiments were performed as 3 independent experiments in triplicate. Statistical analysis was performed with the generalized estimating equation (GEE) (GraphPad Software Inc.). *P < 0.05 compared to the pre-surgery samples.
