Evidence‐Informed Multidisciplinary Consensus Guidance for the Psychosocial Care of Adolescents With High‐Risk Cancer: Recommendations From the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with high‐risk cancer face complex developmental, psychosocial, and ethical challenges that extend beyond disease‐directed treatment. Although international recommendations exist for communication, psychosocial care, pediatric palliative care, survivorship, and shared decision‐making, these have largely evolved within ...

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

Triple and quadruple comparison-based interactive differential evolution and differential evolution

Proceedings of the twelfth workshop on Foundations of genetic algorithms XII, 2013
We propose a triple comparison and a quadruple comparison-based mechanism for enhancing differential evolution (DE), especially for interactive DE (IDE) where the method can be used to reduce IDE user fatigue. Besides the target vector and trial vector from normal DE, opposition vectors generated by opposition-based learning are used to determine ...

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Central Nervous System Tumors Among Infants in Canada: A Report From CYP‐C

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) tumors in infants are rare, pose unique clinical challenges, and lack large‐scale evidence‐based data to guide management. This study seeks to describe CNS tumors in Canadian infants and to compare their outcomes with those of older children.

Comparative Drug Response Profiling in Neuroblastoma Cell Lines and Patient‐Derived Tumor Organoids

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐risk neuroblastoma remains a leading cause of pediatric cancer mortality, and improved preclinical models are needed to guide therapeutic developments. We screened seven high‐risk neuroblastoma cell lines and three patient‐derived tumor organoids with 528 compounds alongside bone marrow controls, and compared them with external datasets ...

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

WELL-POSEDNESS OF THE CAUCHY PROBLEM FOR p-EVOLUTION SYSTEMS OF PSEUDO-DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS [PDF]

, 2013
We study p-evolution pseudo-differential systems of the first order with coefficients in (t,x) and real characteristics. We find sufficient conditions for the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem in H∞.
