The MedSupport Multilevel Intervention to Enhance Support for Pediatric Medication Adherence: Development and Feasibility Testing

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.

Assessment of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase and alkaline phosphatase in tubercular and non-tubercular effusions

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
Background: Many studies have showed that adenosine deaminase (ADA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) values were highly supportive in the diagnosis of tuberculosis but comparison between ADA and ALP has not been much documented in pleural fluid (PF) in ...

Spreading of Fluids on Solids Under Pressure: Effect of Slip [PDF]

, 2010
Spreading of different types of fluid on substrates under an impressed force is an interesting problem. Here we study spreading of four fluids, having different hydrophilicity and viscosity on two substrates - glass and perspex, under an external force ...

Nonintersecting Brownian excursions

, 2006
We consider the process of $n$ Brownian excursions conditioned to be nonintersecting. We show the distribution functions for the top curve and the bottom curve are equal to Fredholm determinants whose kernel we give explicitly.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Osteosarcoma: Local Control Outcomes With Dosimetric Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.

Characterising the area under the curve loss function landscape

Machine Learning: Science and Technology, 2022
Abstract One of the most common metrics to evaluate neural network classifiers is the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). However, optimisation of the AUC as the loss function during network training is not a standard procedure.

Prolonged Corrected QT Interval as an Early Electrocardiographic Marker of Cyclophosphamide‐Induced Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cyclophosphamide (CY) is associated with potentially fatal cardiotoxicity, yet no electrocardiographic indices have been established for early detection of CY‐induced cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to determine whether corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation can predict early onset of CY‐related cardiac dysfunction in pediatric ...

Impact of Sampling Strategy and Population Model on Bayesian Estimates of Vancomycin AUC in Patients with BMI > 40 kg/m²: A Single-Center Retrospective Study

Medicines
Background/Objectives: Growing evidence supports the use of a single trough concentration, rather than both a peak and trough, to estimate the 24 h area under the curve (AUC24) of vancomycin using Bayesian software (InsightRx® Ver.1.71).

Combining Predictors for Classification Using the Area Under the ROC Curve [PDF]

, 2004
We compare simple logistic regression with an alternative robust procedure for constructing linear predictors to be used for the two state classification task. Theoritical advantages of the robust procedure over logistic regression are: (i) although it
