Global Efforts to Reduce Paediatric Cancer Care Disparities in Radiotherapy: A Decade Change

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We present an update on the status, needs and challenges faced by paediatric imaging and radiotherapy (RT) programmes globally after a previous survey conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 10 years prior. Methods We developed and distributed a 121‐question survey to radiation oncologists, medical physicists and ...

Strong Likelihood Principle: Strengthening a Principle or Misunderstanding the Likelihood Function

open access: yesMathematics
The strong likelihood principle (SLP) is conventionally derived from the sufficiency principle and a conditionality principle in an argument due to Birnbaum, and much of the literature contests whether the derivation is sound.

Maximum likelihood distance estimation algorithm for multi-carrier radar system

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
In this study, a maximum likelihood distance estimation algorithm is proposed for a multi-carrier radar system to estimate the time delay of non-integer sampling intervals. Particularly, the equivalent relationship between time domain delay and frequency

Mining gold from implicit models to improve likelihood-free inference [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance In scientific fields as diverse as particle physics, genetics, and epidemiology, complex computer simulations provide the most accurate description of phenomena, but the corresponding likelihood function cannot be computed.

Neuropsychological and Educational Outcomes in Shwachman–Diamond Syndrome—A Report From the North American Shwachman–Diamond Syndrome Registry

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive ribosomopathy characterized by bone marrow failure and multisystem involvement, with emerging evidence of associated neurocognitive impairment. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 240 individuals with biallelic Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond syndrome (SBDS) mutations

Survival After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Diamond–Blackfan Anemia Syndrome: The Role of Iron Overload—A Systematic Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We assessed the effect of iron overload (IO) on mortality and complications following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with Diamond–Blackfan anemia syndrome (DBAS) in a systematic review of individual participant data and cohort data from observational studies.
