Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

On Kedlaya-type inequalities for weighted means

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
In 2016 we proved that for every symmetric, repetition invariant and Jensen concave mean M $\mathscr{M}$ the Kedlaya-type inequality A(x1,M(x1,x2),…,M(x1,…,xn))≤M(x1,A(x1,x2),…,A(x1,…,xn)) $$ \mathscr{A} \bigl(x_{1},\mathscr{M}(x_{1},x_{2}), \ldots ...

Social Functioning Within the First Years After Pediatric Brain Tumor Diagnosis and the Relationship With Family Psychosocial Risk

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.

Exact inequalities involving power mean, arithmetic mean and identric mean

Journal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2011
For \(p\in \mathbb{R}\), the power mean \(M_{p}(a,b)\) of order \(p\), identric mean \(I(a,b)\) and arithmetic mean \(A(a,b)\) of two positive real numbers \(a\) and \(b\) are defined by \begin{equation*} M_{p}(a,b)= \begin{cases} \displaystyle\left(

Retrospective Analysis of Donor Lymphocyte Infusions in Pediatric Patients With Mixed Chimerism After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is an essential therapy for several malignant and nonmalignant diseases, but relapse and graft loss remain the principal threats to its success. Routine monitoring of chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) enables early detection of imminent recurrence and guides ...

Evaluating the power mean method to determine an equivalent sandgrain roughness parameter over streamwise-heterogeneous roughness

Flow
Weighted and unweighted power mean methods are compared against the accuracy of the simple arithmetic average to estimate an equivalent sandgrain roughness parameter ( $k_{s}$ ) for streamwise-heterogeneous rough surfaces.

Oscillation of Repeated Max-Weighted Power Mean Compositions of Fuzzy Matrices

Axioms, 2021
In the literature, the powers of a square fuzzy matrix with respect to the max-weighted power mean composition have been shown to always converge. This study considers the max-weighted power mean composition for a sequence of fuzzy matrices.

Pediatric Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease Is Often Severe But Responsive to Siltuximab

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a potentially fatal immunologic disorder marked by widespread lymphadenopathy and inflammation. Siltuximab, an interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) inhibitor, is the only FDA‐approved treatment for adult patients with iMCD.
