‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

FOLDER3D: A graphical file management system supporting visualisation of file relationships [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The desktop metaphor with its hierarchical structure of folders is the basis of almost all graphical file management systems. Despite this popularity, these systems suffer from several problems, including the restrictiveness of the single inheritance ...

Coherent dynamics on hierarchical systems

open access: yes, 2006
We study the coherent transport modeled by continuous-time quantum walks, focussing on hierarchical structures. For these we use Husimi cacti, lattices dual to the dendrimers.

Quasi-optimal grouping for broadcast systems with hierarchical modulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recently, we proposed to combine time sharing with hierarchical modulation to increase the transmission rate of broadcast systems. Our proposal involves to group the receivers in pairs in order to transmit with hierarchical modulation.

Assessing Cognitive Functioning in Children With Brain Tumors: Interaction of Neighborhood Social Determinants of Health and Neurological Risk

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study investigated how neighborhood‐level social determinants of health (SDOH), including redlining and neurological risk, interact to influence cognitive outcomes in children treated for brain tumors (CTBT). Methods A retrospective chart review of 161 CTBT aged 5–17 was conducted.

Hierarchical control of parallel voltage source inverters in AC microgrids

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2018
Here, a distributed hierarchical control strategy is proposed for the parallel operating of voltage source inverters (VSIs) in AC microgrids (MGs). For the output voltage control of a VSI, conventional double-loop proportional-integral (PI) control ...

Systems of Systems Modeled by a Hierarchical Part-Whole State-Based Formalism [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2013
The paper presents an explicit state-based modeling approach aimed at modeling Systems of Systems behavior. The approach allows to specify and verify incrementally safety and liveness rules without using model checking techniques.

Time Toxicity in Wilms Tumor: Quantifying the Burden of Healthcare Interaction in the First Year After Diagnosis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Wilms tumor (WT) treatment imposes a significant time burden on patients and their families. Time toxicity is a patient‐centered metric that quantifies the burden of healthcare interaction. We sought to define time toxicity in the first year after diagnosis of WT and hypothesized that it would increase as tumor stage and treatment ...

Chiral gold nanoparticles enantioselectively rescue memory deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Nanoparticles are being explored as a potential method to target Aβ aggregation in Alzheimer’s disease. Here, the authors develop gold nanoparticles that were capped with chiral L or D-glutathione which has been shown to improve BBB permeability and ...
