Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

Design of a novel magnetorheological damper with internal pressure control [PDF]

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2015
In this work we designed and manufactured a novel magnetorheological (MR) fluid damper with internal pressure control. Previous authors’ works showed that the yield stress τB of MR fluids depends both on the magnetic field intensity and on the working ...

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 ...

Variance estimation for a low-income proportion [PDF]

, 2003
Proportions below a given fraction of a quantile of an income distribution are often estimated from survey data in poverty comparisons. We consider the estimation of the variance of such a proportion, estimated from Family Expenditure Survey data.

Predicting Chronicity in Children and Adolescents With Newly Diagnosed Immune Thrombocytopenia at the Timepoint of Diagnosis Using Machine Learning‐Based Approaches

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To identify predictors of chronic ITP (cITP) and to develop a model based on several machine learning (ML) methods to estimate the individual risk of chronicity at the timepoint of diagnosis. Methods We analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 944 children enrolled in the Intercontinental Cooperative immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) Study ...

EFFECT OF IMPELLER BLADE THICKNESS ON CRITICAL IMPELLER SPEED IN AN AGITATED VESSEL

Scientific Study & Research: Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Food Industry, 2017
The successful design and operation of solid-liquid agitators require proper prediction of critical impeller speed (Njs) needed to suspend solids. It depends on system and impeller geometry as well as the properties of both solid and liquid.
