Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology
ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

alpha-alpha folding cluster model for alpha-radioactivity
The -decay half-lives are calculated for heavy and superheavy nuclei for and from the ground state to ground state transitions within the framework of the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method and the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization. In the calculations, the - single folding cluster potential obtained with the folded integral of the - potential with the -

Patterns in Space: Coordinating Adhesion and Actomyosin Contractility at E-cadherin Junctions
Cadherin adhesion receptors are fundamental determinants of tissue organization in health and disease. Increasingly, we have come to appreciate that classical cadherins exert their biological actions through active cooperation with the contractile actin ...

Gene Expression and the Physiological Role of Transforming Growth Factor-α in the Mouse Pituitary [PDF]
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, is produced within the mouse anterior pituitaries. However, the cell types of TGF-alpha-expressing cells and the physiological roles of TGF-a within mouse

ABSTRACT Background Psychological safety (PS) is essential for teamwork, communication, and patient safety in complex healthcare environments. In pediatric oncology, interprofessional collaboration occurs under high emotional and organizational demands. Low PS may increase stress, burnout, and adverse events.

On the Robin eigenvalues of the Laplacian in the exterior of a convex polygon [PDF]
Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be the exterior of a convex polygon whose side lengths are $\ell_1,...,\ell_M$. For $\alpha>0$, let $H^\Omega_\alpha$ denote the Laplacian in $\Omega$, $u\mapsto -\Delta u$, with the Robin boundary conditions $\partial u/\

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Microscopic mechanism of thermomolecular orientation and polarization
Recent molecular dynamics simulations show that thermal gradients can induce electric fields in water that are comparable in magnitude to electric fields seen in ionic thin films and biomembranes.
