Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survival in Western Kenya: Reduction in Early Deaths and Treatment Abandonment

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background An earlier study on children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Kenya reported a low event‐free survival (EFS), excess treatment abandonment, and high induction mortality.

Adaptive value of sex in microbial pathogens

open access: yesInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2008
Explaining the adaptive value of sex is one of the great outstanding problems in biology. The challenge comes from the difficulty in identifying the benefits provided by sex, which must outweigh the substantial costs of sex. Here, we consider the adaptive value of sex in viruses, bacteria and fungi, and particularly the information available on the ...

The adaptive value of phenotypic floral integration [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2008
Floral integration has been deemed an adaptation to increase the benefits of animal pollination, yet no attempts have been made to estimate its adaptive value under natural conditions. Here, the variation in the magnitude and pattern of phenotypic floral integration and the variance-covariance structure of floral traits in four species of Rosaceae were

ASSIST: Refinement of a Benefits Navigator Intervention Among Low‐Income Pediatric Oncology Families

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Children with cancer living in poverty experience worse survival and quality of life. Interventions connecting low‐income families to benefits (e.g., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] improve health outcomes; yet nearly 50% of SNAP‐eligible pediatric oncology families are unenrolled.

THE ESTIMATION OF ADAPTIVE VALUES OF EXPERIMENTAL POPULATIONS [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1952
The concept of adaptive value is one of the fundamental concepts of population genetics. The adaptive value of the carriers of a given genotype is measured by their contribution to the gene pool of the next generation. ' Carriers of different genotypes within a population and also different populations of a species may be compared as to their adaptive ...

A Genetic Analysis of the Adaptive Values of Populations [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1952
perpetuate themselves. Such efficiency of perpetuation may be termed adaptive value and its determination is of primary importance in the study of populations. Numerous methods, usually measures of selected physiological traits obviously relevant to the maintenance of the population, have been used for estimating adaptive values.

Bridging the Gap in Neuroblastoma Care: Consensus‐Based Statements With Recommendations for Improved Patient and Caregiver Experiences

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma's complex, heterogeneous biology poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, often requiring caregivers to absorb complex information and participate in time‐sensitive decisions. However, caregivers often feel unprepared to evaluate options.
