Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer in Mexico, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent subtype. Exposure to high concentrations of benzene has been associated with ALL incidence, particularly in urban areas. This study evaluated the relationship between distance to benzene emission sources and the number

Collagen fibrillogenesis in the development of the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2011 The annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc is a complex, radial-ply connective tissue consisting of concentric lamellae of oriented collagen. Whilst much is known of the structure of the mature annulus, less is known of how its complex collagenous ...

On periodic solutions of liénard type equations
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2013 The Liénard type equation x'' + f(x, x')x' + g(x) = 0 (i) is considered. We claim that if the associated conservative equation x'' + g(x) = 0 has period annuli then a dissipation f(x, x') exists such that a limit cycle of equation (i) exists in a ...

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...

The Number of Limit Cycles of a Polynomial System on the Plane
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013 We perturb the vector field x˙=-yC(x,y), y˙=xC(x,y) with a polynomial perturbation of degree n, where C(x,y)=(1-y2)m, and study the number of limit cycles bifurcating from the period annulus surrounding the origin.

Limit cycle bifurcations in a planar piecewise quadratic system with multiple parameters
Advances in Difference Equations, 2020 This paper is concerned with the number of limit cycles bifurcating from a period annulus for some planar piecewise smooth non-Hamiltonian systems. We construct a planar piecewise quadratic system with multiple parameters, obtain its lower bound for the ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Platinum‐based chemotherapy is known to cause severe and debilitating hearing loss, but unlike cisplatin, the true incidence of carboplatin‐induced hearing loss remains unclear. We evaluated functional hearing outcomes in children receiving carboplatin to determine the incidence and severity of ototoxicity. Procedure We identified a

Poincaré Bifurcations of Two Classes of Polynomial Systems
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013 Using bifurcation methods and the Abelian integral, we investigate the number of the limit cycles that bifurcate from the period annulus of the singular point when we perturb the planar ordinary differential equations of the form , with an arbitrary ...
