Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Effect of rainbow function on the structural properties of color flavor locked strange stars
In this study, we perform the significant effect of energy-dependent rainbow function on the properties of strange stars, proposed compact stars made up of strange quark matter. We assume the interior fluid of the star is in non-interacting and isotropic

ABSTRACT Background Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer in Mexico, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent subtype. Exposure to high concentrations of benzene has been associated with ALL incidence, particularly in urban areas. This study evaluated the relationship between distance to benzene emission sources and the number

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...

Re‐Irradiation in Pediatric Diffuse Midline Glioma: A Multi‐Institutional Retrospective Study
ABSTRACT Background Children with recurrent diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) have limited therapeutic options at recurrence. Re‐irradiation (RT2) may be used at progression, but with uncertainty about the benefit. Methods We conducted a multi‐institutional retrospective study of children aged < 18 with DMG treated at three centers (Toronto, Canada ...

Relaxation of convex functionals: the gap problem
It is shown that the relaxed energy \mathcal{F}\left(u,A\right): = \inf \Big\{ \lim\!\! \inf_{n\rightarrow + \infty }\!\int \limits_{A}\! f(x,\nabla u_{n})dx:\{u_{n}\} \subset W_{\text{loc}}^{1,\beta }(A;\mathbb{R}^{d}),\, u_{n}\!\rightarrow\! u \text{ in }L^{1}(A;\mathbb{R}^{d}) \Big\},
