Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Deposition of a Diamond-Like-Carbon Film by Ion Plating and Investigation on its Adhesiveness [PDF]

, 2017
Diamond-like-carbon (DLC) films are promising as coating materials. Ion plating, an excellent method in terms of adhesiveness, step coverage, and deposition rate, can form not only pure metal films but also oxide films, nitride films, and carbonized ...
