ABSTRACT Background Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer in Mexico, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent subtype. Exposure to high concentrations of benzene has been associated with ALL incidence, particularly in urban areas. This study evaluated the relationship between distance to benzene emission sources and the number

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...

On the Modeling of Local Dependence
Abstract Violations of the assumption of local independence are a fundamental issue in item response theory as they threaten model validity and bias the parameter estimates. For such a reason, a plethora of tests and approaches has been devised in the last 40 years to detect or to model such violations ...

Dependability modeling of safety systems [PDF]
Abstract A safety system is aimed at monitoring the behavior of a process and at preventing severe damage to the process itself and its environment upon occurrence of an incident, du to the propagation of its effects. The paper is devided in three parts.

Queueing and risk models with dependencies
AbstractThis paper analyzes various stochastic recursions that arise in queueing and insurance risk models with a ‘semi-linear’ dependence structure. For example, an interarrival time depends on the workload, or the capital, immediately after the previous arrival; or the service time of a customer depends on her waiting time.

ABSTRACT Objectives The association between exposure to dinutuximab beta (DB) and event‐free survival (EFS) or overall survival (OS) of neuroblastoma patients was assessed using data collected during three clinical trials (five cohorts). Methods A systematic review (March 2026) was conducted to identify relevant studies (prospective; registered DB ...

A sharp inequality for Kendall’s τ and Spearman’s ρ of Extreme-Value Copulas
We derive a new (lower) inequality between Kendall’s τ and Spearman’s ρ for two-dimensional Extreme-Value Copulas, show that this inequality is sharp in each point and conclude that the comonotonic and the product copula are the only Extreme-Value ...

Two symmetric and computationally efficient Gini correlations
Standard Gini correlation plays an important role in measuring the dependence between random variables with heavy-tailed distributions. It is based on the covariance between one variable and the rank of the other. Hence for each pair of random variables,

ABSTRACT Background Survival after relapse in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains poor, highlighting the critical importance of identifying prognostic factors to guide optimal relapse management. Methods We investigated the prognostic impact of multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) measurable residual disease (MRD) in 188 patients with first ...
