Animal‐Assisted Activities With Therapy Dogs in Pediatric Oncology: A Multicenter Survey of the Current Status, Implementation, and Challenges in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Animal‐assisted activities (AAAs) with therapy dogs have shown positive effects on patient well‐being and quality of life in various areas of medicine, including pediatric oncology. However, research on this topic is limited. The aim of this study is to present the current status of AAA in pediatric oncology in Germany, Austria, and

Experimental study of rock fracture behavior under direct tension using three-dimensional digital image correlation

Scientific Reports
Understanding the mechanical characteristics of rocks when subjected to direct tension is crucial for assessing the stability of rock formations. Within the scope of this research, a series of tests was conducted using Tage tuff to assess the deformation

An osteoblast-like cell line derived from mice expressing FRET-based tension sensor reveals cellular tension increase during osteogenic differentiation

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Mechanical stimuli significantly influence bone remodeling, although the detailed molecular mechanisms involving changes in intracellular tension during osteoblast differentiation remain unclear. The present study was performed to investigate the role of

Investigation on the Influence of Microstructure Based on Hydrogen Bonding on Surface Tension by Raman Spectroscopy

International Journal of Analytical Chemistry, 2019
Surface tension and Raman spectra containing hydrogen bonding in acetonitrile aqueous solutions with different mole ratios were obtained. Varied surface tension and hydrogen bonding in the mixed solution were discussed.

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...

A COMPARISON OF TESTING METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF SPRAYED CONCRETE TENSILE STRENGTH

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2019
Sprayed concrete is important construction material in tunnelling. Primary lining is essential in NATM where the sprayed concrete can be loaded by tension due to bending moments.

On the surface tension of directed linear polymers

Journal de Physique, 1989
The directed polymer model on a two- and three-dimensional lattice in the presence of infinite boundary is solved in the free fermion approximation. The excess surface free energy fs is studied in a wide range of the polymer density p. It is shown that fs ∼ ρ2 for d = 2 and fs ∼ ρ 3/2 for d = 3 when p is small. The law ρ3/2 coincides with that obtained

Change in Mental Health and Resilience in Childhood Cancer Survivors After Attending a Person‐Centred State‐of‐the‐Art Late Effects Clinic—on Behalf of the PanCareFollowUp Consortium

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Person‐centred follow‐up care based on evidence‐based clinical practice guidelines and providing individualised information should help to inform and reassure survivors about their medical and psychosocial situation and provide treatment and support where needed.

Secretory Phospholipase A2 in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Hospitalized for Vaso‐Occlusive Pain Episodes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is an inflammatory mediator linked to acute chest syndrome (ACS) in sickle cell disease (SCD), a serious complication that can develop during an acute vaso‐occlusive pain episode (VOE). Plasma sPLA2 levels have been proposed as a potential biomarker for predicting ACS onset.
