Global Efforts to Reduce Paediatric Cancer Care Disparities in Radiotherapy: A Decade Change

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We present an update on the status, needs and challenges faced by paediatric imaging and radiotherapy (RT) programmes globally after a previous survey conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 10 years prior. Methods We developed and distributed a 121‐question survey to radiation oncologists, medical physicists and ...

IMPROVING THE RESPONSE TIME FOR THE CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE OF RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE: A CASE STUDY OF THE WESTERN CAPE PASSENGER RAIL NETWORK

South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2019
Response time for repairing rail infrastructure failures remains a challenge in the South African rail industry. The ‘mean time to return’ metric consists of mean time to respond and mean time to repair. This article investigates the mean time to respond

Beyond the Document: A Single‐Center Qualitative Study of Survivorship Care Plan Barriers and Opportunities Across Pediatric Oncology Stakeholders

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivorship care plans (SCPs) summarize cancer treatment and guide risk‐based follow‐up for cancer survivors, yet remain difficult to create, share, and use. Stakeholder perspectives are needed to inform usable approaches.

BUILDING MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS OF PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTIONS IN GHANA: A CASE STUDY OF LA GENERAL HOSPITAL ACCRA

Journal of Construction Project Management and Innovation, 2011
It is highly desirable but hardly feasible to produce buildings that are maintenance free although much can be done at the design stage to reduce the amount of subsequent maintenance works. The research aim was to examine the various maintenance systems

The application of correctness preserving transformations to software maintenance [PDF]

Proceedings International Conference on Software Maintenance ICSM-94, 2000
The size and complexity of hardware and software systems continues to grow, making the introduction of subtle errors a more likely possibility. A major goal of software engineering is to enable developers to construct systems that operate reliably despite increased size and complexity.

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

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.

Maintenance of the correct open reading frame by the ribosome [PDF]

The EMBO Reports, 2003
During translation, a string of non-overlapping triplet codons in messenger RNA is decoded into protein. The ability of a ribosome to decode mRNA without shifting between reading frames is a strict requirement for accurate protein biosynthesis. Despite enormous progress in understanding the mechanism of transfer RNA selection, the mechanism by which ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Transient outage model considering corrective and preventive maintenance

Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy, 2016
Traditional outage model for the power equipment usually focus on the behavior of the equipment under random factors, and the availability of the power equipment in system analysis is usually confined to the steady value.
