Fourier analysis provides a powerful framework for decomposing functions into sums or integrals of sinusoidal components, thereby enabling the study of frequency content in signals. In tandem, ...

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (Nov. 13, 2020) - Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced a new analysis from the Repatha® (evolocumab) cardiovascular (CV) outcomes study (FOURIER) that evaluated the effectiveness ...

This one (almost) changed my mind about the proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor drugs and the titrate-to-lower-LDL-C-level strategy. My thinking was this: Yes, the ...

The PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab seems to robustly reduce LDL cholesterol levels among nearly all treated patients, according to a new analysis of the FOURIER trial. These findings put to bed the notion ...

Microsoft Office Excel contains a data analysis add-in that allows to to perform a Fourier analysis of a series of numbers. So named for the French mathematician who developed the analytic technique ...

Over at Quanta Magazine [Shalma Wegsman] asks What Is the Fourier Transform? [Shalma] begins by telling you a little about Joseph Fourier, the French mathematician with an interest in heat propagation ...

Investigators writing in BMJ Open called for “a complete restoration of FOURIER trial data.” Amgen, the maker of evolocumab, said it stood by the data. This article was updated January 5 with ...

Mathematical transforms can be a great help in understanding signals. Imaging trying to look at a complex waveform and figuring out the frequency components without the Fourier transform. [Artem ...

Mathematicians are still trying to understand fundamental properties of the Fourier transform, one of their most ubiquitous and powerful tools. A new result marks an exciting advance toward that goal.
