Criterion‐Related Validity of the Neuropsychological Quick Assessment for Screening Cognitive, Motor, and Behavioral Impairments in Patients With Pediatric Brain Tumors: An Observational Pilot Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuropsychological complications may impair the qualitative prognosis of patients with pediatric brain tumors. However, multifaceted evaluations cannot be conducted in all patients because they are time consuming and burdensome for patients.

Existence of positive periodic solutions of an SEIR model with periodic coefficients [PDF]

Applications of Mathematics, 2012
The paper deals with the SEIR epidemic model \[ S'=\Lambda (t)-\beta (t)S\,I-\mu (t)S, \] \[ E'=\beta (t)S\,I-(\mu (t)+\varepsilon (t))\,E, \] \[ I'=\varepsilon (t)E-(\mu (t)+\alpha (t)+\gamma (t))\,I, \] \[ R'=\gamma (t)I-\mu (t)R, \] where \(\Lambda ,\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma ,\varepsilon ,\mu \) are positive \(T\)-periodic continuous functions.

Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...

Positive periodic solutions for second-order neutral differential equations with functional delay

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2012
We use Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem to prove the existence of positive periodic solutions of the second-order nonlinear neutral differential equation $$ frac{d^2}{dt^2}x(t)+p(t)frac{d}{dt}x(t)+q(t)x(t) =cfrac{d}{dt}x(t-au(t))+f(t,h(x(t)),g(x ...

Positive Periodic Solutions for First‐Order Neutral Functional Differential Equations with Periodic Delays [PDF]

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2012
In this paper, two classes of first‐order neutral functional differential equations with periodic delays are considered. Some results on the existence of positive periodic solutions for the equations are obtained by using the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem. Four examples are included to illustrate our results.

Parent Quality of Life at Two Years Following Their Child's Completion of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Parents of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often experience significant caregiver burden and disruption to their well‐being. While parent quality of life (QoL) during treatment is well characterized, little is known about outcomes during early survivorship.

POSITIVE PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF SYSTEMS OF FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS [PDF]

Journal of the Korean Mathematical Society, 2005
The authors study the existence of the positive periodic solutions of the functional differential equations \[ x'(t)=A(t)x(t)+\lambda f(t, x(t-\tau(t))). \] By applying a cone theoretic fixed point theorem, the authors obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solutions of the above equation.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Monotonicity of the Period and Positive Periodic Solutions of a Quasilinear Equation

, 2023
We investigate the monotonicity of the minimal period of the periodic solutions of some quasilinear differential equations involving the $p$-Laplace operator. The monotonicity is obtained as a function of a Hamiltonian energy in two cases. We first extend to the case $p\ge2$ classical results for $p=2$ due to Chow and Wang, and Chicone.
