Conditioning on parental mating types can reduce necessary assumptions for Mendelian randomization

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a common tool used in epidemiological studies. However, when confounding variables are correlated with the instrumental variable (in this case, a genetic/variant/marker), the estimation can remain biased even with ...

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Osteosarcoma: Local Control Outcomes With Dosimetric Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.

A POSSIBILISTIC APPROACH TO CALCULATING THE INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN FOR INVESTMENT PROJECTS WITH FUZZY CASH FLOWS

Финансы: теория и практика, 2017
The internal rate of return (IRR) is among the most widely used characteristics of investment projects. In the deterministic case the IRR can be found as a solution to an algebraic equation. The existence and applicability of the IRR may be guaranteed by

ON THE EXTENSION OF NON-ADDITIVE SET FUNCTIONS

Vestnik of Samara University. Natural Science Series, 2017
In this paper we prove theorems on the extension of non-additive set functions domain of definition of which, generally speaking, is not a ring, on the sigma-ring of sets. It is shown that continuous from the top at zero, the exhaustive compositional submersion of the first or second kind can be continued from the multiplicative class of sets to the ...

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.

Ap\'ery sets of shifted numerical monoids

, 2018
A numerical monoid is an additive submonoid of the non-negative integers. Given a numerical monoid $S$, consider the family of "shifted" monoids $M_n$ obtained by adding $n$ to each generator of $S$. In this paper, we characterize the Ap\'ery set of $M_n$

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 ...

Disentangling the effects of age and global change on Douglas fir growth

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2019
Recent changes commonly observed in forests growth could be the result of a combination of different climatic and non-climatic factors, such as rising atmospheric [CO2], temperature changes, atmospheric N deposition and drought stress.

Interpretable machine learning predicts cardiac resynchronization therapy responses from personalized biochemical and biomechanical features

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2022
Background Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a widely used, device-based therapy for patients with left ventricle (LV) failure. Unfortunately, many patients do not benefit from CRT, so there is potential value in identifying this group of non ...

Radiotherapy Delivery in Deep Inspiration for Pediatric Patients—Final Results of the Phase II Feasibility Study TEDDI

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).
