Ironic Medications: A Narrative‐Based Psycho‐Educational Intervention to Explore Patient–Provider Communication in Adolescents With Haematological Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with haematological malignancies face significant emotional and relational challenges, often accompanied by difficulties in communicating their needs within the healthcare context. To address these issues, a narrative‐based psycho‐educational intervention based on the creation and prescription of Ironic Medications was ...

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

Pediatric 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.

Development and Implementation of a Disease‐Targeted Storybook as a Clinical Tool for Children With Acute Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although significant progress has been made in childhood leukemia survival, healthcare providers, and caregivers often face challenges in explaining this disease to patients. Disease‐targeted storybooks have been proposed as a tool to facilitate the understanding of diagnoses and treatment.

On Fixed Points of Generalized α-φ Contractive Type Mappings in Partial Metric Spaces

International Journal of Analysis and Applications, 2016
Recently, Samet et al. (B. Samet, C. Vetro and P. Vetro, Fixed point theorem for $\alpha$-$\psi$ contractive type mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 75 (2012), 2154--2165) introduced a very interesting new category of contractive type mappings known as $\alpha$-$\

Coincidence and common fixed point of F-contractions via $CLR_{ST}$ property [PDF]

Surveys in Mathematics and its Applications, 2016
The aim of this paper is to establish the existence of coincidence and common fixed point of F-contractions via CLRST property. Our results generalize, extend and improve the results of Wardowski [D.

On quasi-partial generalized type of metric spaces and an application to complexity analysis of computer algorithms

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2020
In the present study, we identify a new type of extended metrics space, i.e. generalized quasi-partial metric space and utilize it to introduce new results of fixed point for contractive monotone mappings. Some interesting examples are also presented. We

Animal‐Assisted Activities With Therapy Dogs in Pediatric Oncology: A Multicenter Survey of the Current Status, Implementation, and Challenges in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Animal‐assisted activities (AAAs) with therapy dogs have shown positive effects on patient well‐being and quality of life in various areas of medicine, including pediatric oncology. However, research on this topic is limited. The aim of this study is to present the current status of AAA in pediatric oncology in Germany, Austria, and

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.
