VAR modeļu un kointegrācijas analīzes pielietojums zelta cenas analīzē
2017
Darbs tiek veltīts kointegrācijai un kļūdas korekcijas modelim. Darbā dots ieskats par vienības saknes testiem, vektoru autoregresijas vienādojumiem, kointegrāciju, kļūdu korekciju modeļiem. Metodes tika pielietotas pētot sakarības starp tādiem valūtu pāriem kā zelts pret ASV dolāru (XAU/USD) un Šveices franks pret ASV dolāru (CHF/USD). Ar Engla-Greinžera un Johansena metodēm parādīts, ka periodā no 2011. gada maija līdz 2016. gada decembrim pastāv kointegrācija starp iepriekš minētajiem instrumentiem.
Redox signaling in acute pancreatitis
2015
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process of the pancreatic gland that eventually may lead to a severe systemic inflammatory response. A key event in pancreatic damage is the intracellular activation of NF-κB and zymogens, involving also calcium, cathepsins, pH disorders, autophagy, and cell death, particularly necrosis. This review focuses on the new role of redox signaling in acute pancreatitis. Oxidative stress and redox status are involved in the onset of acute pancreatitis and also in the development of the systemic inflammatory response, being glutathione depletion, xanthine oxidase activation, and thiol oxidation in proteins critical features of the disease in the pancreas. On th…
The association of patient age with postoperative morbidity and mortality following resection of intracranial tumors
2021
Abstract Introduction The postoperative functional status of patients with intracranial tumors is influenced by patient-specific factors, including age. Research question This study aimed to elucidate the association between age and postoperative morbidity or mortality following the resection of brain tumors. Material and methods A multicenter database was retrospectively reviewed. Functional status was assessed before and 3–6 months after tumor resection by the Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS). Uni- and multivariable linear regression were used to estimate the association of age with postoperative change in KPS. Logistic regression models for a ≥10-point decline in KPS or mortality were b…
