Animal‐Assisted Activities With Therapy Dogs in Pediatric Oncology: A Multicenter Survey of the Current Status, Implementation, and Challenges in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Animal‐assisted activities (AAAs) with therapy dogs have shown positive effects on patient well‐being and quality of life in various areas of medicine, including pediatric oncology. However, research on this topic is limited. The aim of this study is to present the current status of AAA in pediatric oncology in Germany, Austria, and

A Population‐Based Study on Childhood Aplastic Anemia—Incidence, Outcomes, and Health‐Related Quality of Life

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Childhood aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare disease, and both the disease itself and its treatment cause significant morbidity. We aimed to determine the contemporary incidence of childhood AA in Finland, to compare the clinical characteristics of AA against inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) and refractory cytopenia of ...

An Estimation of the Entropy for a Double Exponential Distribution Based on Multiply Type-II Censored Samples

Entropy, 2012
In many life-testing and reliability studies, the experimenter might not always obtain complete information on failure times for all experimental units. Multiply Type-II censored sampling arises in a life-testing experiment whenever the experimenter does

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...

Change in Mental Health and Resilience in Childhood Cancer Survivors After Attending a Person‐Centred State‐of‐the‐Art Late Effects Clinic—on Behalf of the PanCareFollowUp Consortium

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Person‐centred follow‐up care based on evidence‐based clinical practice guidelines and providing individualised information should help to inform and reassure survivors about their medical and psychosocial situation and provide treatment and support where needed.

Secretory Phospholipase A2 in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Hospitalized for Vaso‐Occlusive Pain Episodes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is an inflammatory mediator linked to acute chest syndrome (ACS) in sickle cell disease (SCD), a serious complication that can develop during an acute vaso‐occlusive pain episode (VOE). Plasma sPLA2 levels have been proposed as a potential biomarker for predicting ACS onset.

Reliability Assessment of a Series System with Weibull-Distributed Components Based on Zero-Failure Data

Applied Sciences
This study focuses on the reliability assessment of a series system composed of Weibull-distributed components. Because high-reliability components rarely fail during life testing or actual operation, conventional system reliability analysis methods ...

Design of Control Chart in Presence of Hybrid Censoring Scheme

IEEE Access, 2018
In this paper, a new reliability testing control chart has been developed using the hybrid censoring scheme for the Weibull distribution. The in-control and out-of-control probabilities are estimated for the desired quality characteristic using the ...
