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 ...

Minimum d-dimensional arrangement with fixed points

, 2013
In the Minimum $d$-Dimensional Arrangement Problem (d-dimAP) we are given a graph with edge weights, and the goal is to find a 1-1 map of the vertices into $\mathbb{Z}^d$ (for some fixed dimension $d\geq 1$) minimizing the total weighted stretch of the ...

Unique Tarski Fixed Points

Mathematics of Operations Research, 2019
We establish sufficient conditions that ensure the uniqueness of Tarski-type fi xed points of monotone operators. Several applications are presented.

Approximate fixed point theorems [PDF]

Scientific Annals of the A.I.I. Cuza University, 2001
The authors discuss weakenings of the conditions in the fixed point theorems of Brouwer, Kakutani and Banach which still guarantee the existence of approximate fixed points.

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 ...

A Systematic Review of Evidence on the Clinical Effectiveness of Surveillance Imaging in Children With Medulloblastoma and Ependymoma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surveillance imaging aims to detect tumour relapse before symptoms develop, but it's unclear whether earlier detection of relapse leads to better outcomes in children and young people (CYP) with medulloblastoma and ependymoma. This systematic review aims to identify relevant literature to determine the efficacy of surveillance magnetic ...

Fixed Points in Functional Inequalities

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2009
Using fixed point methods, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the following functional inequalities ‖f(x)+f(y)+f(z)‖≤‖f(x+y+z)‖ and ‖f(x)+f(y)+2f(z)‖≤‖2f((x+y)/2+z)‖ ...

An Extended Kannan Contraction Mapping and Applications [PDF]

International Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management Sciences
We extend the Kannan contraction principle and obtain a result that holds for both contractive and non-expansive mappings. Such mappings admit multiple fixed-points and the fixed-point sets and domains of these mappings display interesting algebraic ...

The Universal Cardinal Ordering of Fixed Points

, 2008
We present the theorem which determines, by a permutation, the cardinal ordering of fixed points for any orbit of a period doubling cascade. The inverse permutation generates the orbit and the symbolic sequence of the orbit is obtained as a corollary ...
