In this article, Biomedical Statistical Consulting's (BSC) Statistical Analyst Alex Ginev and co-authors investigated the effect of a transition in EHR on the patient experience through an instrument examining interactions with nurses and providers.

BSC's Principal Statistician and UPenn Professor Greg Maislin coauthored two recent studies!

The first, the authors find evidence supporting strong heritability of spindles although not all spindle characteristics are equally heritable. The second Analysis of t

A recent paper by Brendan Keenan was published in G3: Genes | Genomes | Genetics highlighting that fat-distributions are heritable in eight founder strains mouse models. The study used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols and dimension reduction through principal component analysis (PCA).

The March 2021 publication of the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma includes a rich set of information regarding the use of Real-World Data (RWD) focused on the Bioventus Observational Noninterventional EXOGEN Studies (BONES) Program.

BSC team members David Maislin and Brendan Keenan supported Dr. Victoria Pak (Emory University) in two abstracts examining the impact of CPAP on inflammatory biomarkers and whether obesity modifies the effect.

Does sleep apnea affect heart rate variability during wakefulness?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. However, the relationship between OSA severity and multiple heart rate variability (HRV) metrics during wakefulness remains an open question.

We are happy to announce that another article has been published by two of our BSC team. Well done, David and Brendan, and UPenn collaborators.

The article shows the effect of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Positive Airway Pressure Therapy on cardiac remodeling in Nonobese and Obese Adults.

Do you know that many aspects of sleep and circadian behavior are heritable both in humans and mice?

In this new article, Brendan Keenan in collaboration with the School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania has published an article on high-throughput phenotyping strategies for sleep and circadian behavior in mice, including examinations of robustness, reliability, and heritability among Diversity Outbred (DO) mice in the Sleep Research Society.

This was an excellent Continuing Medical Education (CME) presentation given by Allan Pack and & Greg Maislin at the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Seminar Series provided by the University of Arizona College of Medicine Tucson.

One of the areas of our expertise is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Brendan Keenan was lead author on this article evaluating a diagnostic code-based algorithm for identifying cases of diagnosed OSA.

In the article, the authors propose that Propensity Score designs are the optimal approach to address the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on cardiovascular events.

BSC Founder and University of Pennsylvania professor Greg Maislin participated in the 25th Congress of the European Sleep Research Society (ESRS) 2020.
