Direct Transport Calculation of Three-dimensional C5G7 Benchmark Based on the Random Ray Method by SONG Peitao1, 2, 3, , QIN Shuai4, ZHANG Qian4

“…However, its direct application to three-dimensional (3D) core transport calculations faces challenges such as excessive memory requirements and computational costs. While the widely adopted 2D/1D coupling method resolves these issues by decomposing the problem into radial 2D MOC and axial 1D calculations, it suffers from reduced geometric flexibility, numerical instabilities in axially heterogeneous systems, and axial mesh mismatches during control rod movements. …”

Analysis of treatment patterns and persistence on branded and generic medications in major depressive disorder using retrospective claims data by Solem CT, Shelbaya A, Wan Y, Deshpande CG, Alvir J, Pappadopulos E

“…., Global Health Outcomes, New York, NY, 3Epidemiology Department of Mailman&amp;rsquo;s School of Public Health, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, New York, NY, USA Background: In major depressive disorder (MDD), treatment persistence is critical to optimize symptom remission, functional recovery, and health care costs. Desvenlafaxine tends to have fewer drug interactions and better tolerability than other MDD drugs; however, its use has not been assessed in the real world.Objective: The aim of the present study is to compare medication persistence and concomitant MDD drug use with branded desvenlafaxine (Pristiq&amp;reg;) compared with antidepressant drug groups classified as 1) branded selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs; ie, escitalopram [Lexapro&amp;trade;]) and selective serotonin&amp;ndash;norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs; ie, venlafaxine [Effexor&amp;reg;], duloxetine [Cymbalta&amp;reg;]) and 2) generic SSRIs/SNRIs (ie, escitalopram, citalopram, venlafaxine, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, and duloxetine).Patients and methods: MDD patients (ICD-9-CM codes 296.2, 296.3), with &amp;ge;2 prescription fills for study drugs and 12-month preindex continuous enrollment from the MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database (2009&amp;ndash;2013), were included. …”
