Torsion and critical metrics on contact three-manifolds [PDF]

Kodai Mathematical Journal, 1990
Let M be a 3-dimensional compact contact manifold with contact form \(\omega\) and characteristic vector field \(X_ 0\). Let \({\mathcal M}\) denote the set of all associated metrics to \(\omega\). For any \(g\in {\mathcal M}\) let r denote the scalar curvature, S the Ricci tensor, \(\tau\) the Lie derivative of g with respect to \(x_ 0\) and \(\sigma\)

Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Integrative Neuromuscular Training for Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Clinical and Biological Features of Response in Resistant Neuroblastoma to 131I‐Metaiodobenzylguanidine Radiotherapy in the Anti‐GD2 Immunotherapy Era

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.

Metrics of Arterial Hyperoxia and Associated Outcomes in Critical Care*

Critical Care Medicine, 2017
Objective:Emerging evidence has shown the potential risks of arterial hyperoxia, but the lack of a clinical definition and methodologic limitations hamper the interpretation and clinical relevance of previous studies. Our purpose was to evaluate previously used and newly constructed metrics of arterial hyperoxia and systematically assess their ...
