Grasping isoluminant stimuli [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research, 2009 We used a virtual reality setup to let participants grasp discs, which differed in luminance, chromaticity and size. Current theories on perception and action propose a division of labor in the brain into a color proficient perception pathway and a less color-capable action pathway.

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Grasp-HGN: Grasping the Unexpected
ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing SystemsFor transradial amputees, robotic prosthetic hands promise to regain the capability to perform daily living activities. To advance next-generation prosthetic hand control design, it is crucial to address current shortcomings in robustness to out of lab artifacts, and generalizability to new environments.

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 ...

Current Biology, 2008 SummaryGanel et al. [1] recently reported what seem to be fundamentally different effects of varying object size on the precision of different tasks. Whereas the standard deviation in the matched size was larger for larger objects, as predicted by Weber's law, the standard deviation in the maximum grip opening was independent of object size.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The TEDDI trial tested the feasibility and reproducibility of deep‐inspiration breath‐hold (DIBH) in pediatric patients referred for radiotherapy. This report presents final results, including patient‐reported outcomes (PRO) and dosimetric comparison of DIBH and free‐breathing (FB).
