A simple and strong model, based on an alignment independent three-dimensional quantitative- structure activity relationships (3D-QSAR), is developed for prediction of degradation half-life (DT50) of 47 organophosphorus pesticides in soil. Molecular descriptors derived from 3D molecular...

Chemoinformatics methodologies such as QSAR/QSPR have been used for decades in drug discovery projects, especially for the finding of new compounds with therapeutic properties and the optimization of ADME properties on chemical series. The application of computational techniques in predictive...

Virtual screening represents an effective computational strategy to rise-up the chances of finding new bioactive compounds by accelerating the time needed to move from an initial intuition to market. Classically, the most pursued approaches rely on ligand- and structure-based studies, the former...

In this article, Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) were generated to link the structure of over 120 heterogeneous drugs to rat hepatotoxicity. Existing studies, performed on the same data set, could not highlight relevant structure-activity relationships, and suggested models...

There is no comprehensive and standardized tool for evaluating the communication quality of web resources for patients. The purpose of this study was to assess prostate cancer websites using the Communication AssessmenT Checklist in Health (CATCH) and to compare the results with those of the...

Innovations in cancer treatment have lowered mortality, but little is known about their economic benefits. We assess the effect of two decades of improvements in cancer treatment options on the labor market outcomes of breast and prostate cancer patients. In addition, we compare this effect...

Abstract Randomized controlled trials have been the mainstay of high-level evidence for or against cancer screening strategies. However, simple proof of reduction in cause-specific mortality is not enough for policymaking, particularly in the last 10 years. Today’s clinical and public health...

Recently prostate and ovarian cancer has been related to milk consumption. However, existing observational studies based on country level data do not attempt to identify causal effects since they are only based on simple cross-sectional analyses. This paper takes a step toward estimating of...
