APPROXIMATE REASONING IN CANCER SURGERY

Proceedings of the International Conference on Evolutionary Computation Theory and Applications, 2011
The compositional rule of inference, grounded on the modus ponens law, is one of the most effective fuzzy systems. We modify the classical version of the Zadeh rule to propose an original model, which concerns determining an operation chance for gastric cancer patients.

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.

Approximate Reasoning for Processing Uncertainty

Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, 2001
In Bayesian networks as well as in knowledge-based systems, uncertainty in propositions can be represented by various degrees of belief encoded by qualitative values. In this paper, we present a qualitative approach of classical probability theory in the particular case where the set of probability degrees is replaced by a totally ordered set of ...

Approximate OWL-Reasoning with Screech [PDF]

, 2008
With the increasing interest in expressive ontologies for the Semantic Web, it is critical to develop scalable and efficient ontology reasoning techniques that can properly cope with very high data volumes. For certain application domains, approximate reasoning solutions, which trade soundness or completeness for inctreased reasoning speed, will help ...

On Hierarchical Composite Endpoints in Pediatric Cancer Supportive Care: Illustrative Examples From Two Multi‐Center Phase‐III Randomized Clinical Trials

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric supportive care clinical trials often involve multiple clinically important outcomes, complicating trial interpretation. Hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs) provide a framework to integrate key outcomes according to clinical importance.

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...
