Social Functioning Within the First Years After Pediatric Brain Tumor Diagnosis and the Relationship With Family Psychosocial Risk

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.

Retrospective Analysis of Donor Lymphocyte Infusions in Pediatric Patients With Mixed Chimerism After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is an essential therapy for several malignant and nonmalignant diseases, but relapse and graft loss remain the principal threats to its success. Routine monitoring of chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) enables early detection of imminent recurrence and guides ...

Dual-Branch Feature Generalization Method for AUV Near-Field Exploration of Hydrothermal Areas

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technique provides long-term near-seafloor navigation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). However, the stability of descriptors generated by interest point detectors remains a challenge in the ...

Novel 3D local feature descriptor of point clouds based on spatial voxel homogenization for feature matching

Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art, 2023
AbstractObtaining a 3D feature description with high descriptiveness and robustness under complicated nuisances is a significant and challenging task in 3D feature matching. This paper proposes a novel feature description consisting of a stable local reference frame (LRF) and a feature descriptor based on local spatial voxels.

Pediatric Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease Is Often Severe But Responsive to Siltuximab

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a potentially fatal immunologic disorder marked by widespread lymphadenopathy and inflammation. Siltuximab, an interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) inhibitor, is the only FDA‐approved treatment for adult patients with iMCD.

Optical and SAR image registration based on feature constrained algorithm

Scientific Reports
Traditional feature matching methods rely on accurate descriptors to describe the attributes of feature points, which may lead to the problem of misalignment when the descriptors are incorrect.

Noncooperative Spacecraft Pose Estimation Based on Point Cloud and Optical Image Feature Collaboration

Aerospace
Pose estimation plays a crucial role in on-orbit servicing technologies. Currently, point cloud registration-based pose estimation methods for noncooperative spacecraft still face the issue of misalignment due to similar point cloud structural features ...

The Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on Childhood Cancer Survival: A Population‐Based Assessment of Survival Patterns Between 2015 and 2023 in Germany

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Numerous international studies have reported declines in new cancer diagnoses, delayed diagnoses and disruptions in cancer treatment following the implementation of COVID‐19 pandemic public health measures, raising concerns that these effects may ultimately contribute to increased cancer mortality.
