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 ...

Approximating Fixpoints of Approximated Functions

Abstract Fixpoints are ubiquitous in computer science and when dealing with quantitative semantics and verification one often considers least fixpoints of (higher-dimensional) functions over the non-negative reals. We show how to approximate the least fixpoint of such functions, focusing on the case in which they are not known precisely, but ...

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 ...

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 ...

DISCRETE LEAST SQUARES APPROXIMATION OF PIECEWISE-LINEAR FUNCTIONS BY TRIGONOMETRIC POLYNOMIALS

Проблемы анализа, 2017
Let N be a natural number greater than 1. Select N uniformly distributed points t_k = 2πk/N (0 ≤ k ≤ N − 1) on [0, 2π]. Denote by L_{n,N} (f) = L_{n,N} (f, x) (1 ≤ n ≤ N/2) the trigonometric polynomial of order n possessing the least quadratic deviation ...

Interval estimation of trigonometrical splines [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
Quite often, it is necessary to quickly determine variation range of the function. If the function values are known at some points, then it is easy to construct the local spline approximation of this function and use the interval analysis rules.
