Outcomes of Live Virus Vaccination in Patients With Vascular Anomalies Being Treated With Sirolimus

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Live vaccination in patients with vascular anomalies (VA) receiving sirolimus remains controversial due to immunosuppressive effects and theoretical risks. Procedure This single‐center retrospective study included patients with VA less than 4 years old at the start of sirolimus therapy who were incompletely vaccinated.

Prevalence and Trajectory of Household Material Hardship Among Children With Advanced Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Families of children with advanced cancer living in poverty experience inferior outcomes including poor parent mental health and worse child quality of life. Household material hardship (HMH: food, housing, transportation, and/or utility insecurity) is a modifiable poverty exposure—and potential intervention target—that ...

A Generalization of Group Divisible Designs

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1960
Roy [8] extended the idea of Group Divisible designs of Bose and Connor [1] to $m$-associate classes, calling such designs Hierarchical Group Divisible designs with $m$-associate classes. Subsequently, no literature is found in this direction. The purpose of this paper is to study these designs systematically.

Inequalities for Semiregular Group Divisible Designs

The Annals of Statistics, 1976
Let $s_{ju}$ be the number of varieties in common to the $j$th and $u$th blocks of a symmetric semiregular group divisible design. Connor (1952) and Saraf (1961) have given inequalities for $s_{ju}$. Both these inequalities lead to the same stronger inequality $\lambda_1 \leqq s_{ju} \leqq 2\lambda_2 - 1$.

The Fate (Outcome) of Clinically Apparent Single Lesion and Oligofocal Nephroblastomatosis Treated According to SIOP/GPOH Protocols for Wilms Tumor

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between

New Constructions and Necessary Conditions for 4-GDDs With Block Size 5

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences
t-v,k,Λ designs are well-known objects of study. Here, we define t-group divisible designs (t-GDDs) and specifically study t-GDDs, where the number of groups are less than the block size. After a short survey of t-GDDs, we will present some examples of 4-

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Dose Proton Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with

Johnson type bounds for mixed dimension subspace codes [PDF]

, 2018
Subspace codes, i.e., sets of subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^v$, are applied in random linear network coding. Here we give improved upper bounds for their cardinalities based on the Johnson bound for constant dimension codes.Comment: 16 pages, typos ...

Defining Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Perspectives From Oncology and Palliative Care Teams

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is associated with improved symptom management, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for children with cancer. Despite this, variation persists in how PPC is understood, operationalized, and integrated within pediatric oncology programs. In particular, ambiguity surrounding

Self-Dual Codes [PDF]

, 2002
Self-dual codes are important because many of the best codes known are of this type and they have a rich mathematical theory. Topics covered in this survey include codes over F_2, F_3, F_4, F_q, Z_4, Z_m, shadow codes, weight enumerators, Gleason-Pierce ...
