The Role of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Ataxia‐Telangiectasia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) is a DNA repair disorder characterized by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established therapy in related disorders such as Fanconi anemia (FA) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), but its role in A‐T is unclear.

Statistical Inference of Generalized Time- Dependent Logistic Hazard Model [PDF]

The Egyptian Statistical Journal, 2018
In this paper ,we extend the generalized time-dependtent logistic hazard model (GTDL)proposed by Mackenzie (1996) by using  the hazard function of weibull distribution instead  of  the   baseline hazard function  as no form was assumed in this  model ...

Oscillation and hazard functions

Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 2000
In the medical data analysis, the shapes of hazard functions are very important for the survival analysis. The simple dimensional hazard function is given by r(t) = f(t)(1 - F(t)), 0 @? F(t) < 1, where f(t) is a probability density function with its distribution function F(t).

Increased Risk of Sarcomas in Children With Congenital Anomalies: Findings From the Genetic Overlap Between Anomalies and Cancer in Kids (GOBACK) Registry Linkage Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that contribute disproportionately to cancer mortality in children. Although congenital anomalies are among the strongest known risk factors for childhood cancer, the risk of specific sarcoma subtypes among affected individuals has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Procedure We

The Hazard Function of Lerch Distribution [PDF]

The Egyptian Statistical Journal, 2005
The main purpose of this paper is to study the hazard function of the Lerch distribution and prove that the hazard function can be constant, monotonically decreasing and monotonically increasing.

Supporting Survivor‐Centered Care Through Digital Health Integration

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Survivors of childhood cancer face barriers to receiving guideline‐based, long‐term follow‐up care. Two digital tools, Passport for Care (PFC) and Cancer SurvivorLink (SurvivorLink), address complementary gaps by enabling tailored survivorship care plan (SCP) generation, updating, storage, and sharing.

SURVIVAL ANALYSIS OF CANCER PATIENTS USING PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC APPROACHES [PDF]

Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2007
Exploring the health related quality of life is usually the focus of the survival studies. Using the health data of cancer registry in Multan, Pakistan, an investigation about the survival pattern of cancer patients was explored, using the non-parametric

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.
