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.

The Method of Types for the AWGN Channel

Entropy
For the discrete-time AWGN channel with a power constraint, we give an alternative derivation for the sphere-packing upper bound on the optimal block error exponent and an alternative derivation for the analogous lower bound on the optimal correct ...

The Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on Childhood Cancer Survival: A Population‐Based Assessment of Survival Patterns Between 2015 and 2023 in Germany

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Numerous international studies have reported declines in new cancer diagnoses, delayed diagnoses and disruptions in cancer treatment following the implementation of COVID‐19 pandemic public health measures, raising concerns that these effects may ultimately contribute to increased cancer mortality.

Reliability Estimation for Burr XII Distribution under the Weighted Q-Symmetric Entropy Loss Function

Applied Sciences
Considering that the choice of loss function plays a significant role in the derivation of Bayesian estimators, we propose a novel asymmetric loss function named the weighted Q-symmetric entropy loss for computing the estimates of the parameter and ...

Reliability Analysis of ZZ Distribution Under Zero Failure Data

Journal of Harbin University of Science and Technology, 2020
It is a deviation reality that lifespan of some products is described by common distributions. However，the ZZ distribution can better describe the lifespan distribution of this type of product.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Reliability-Based Time-Reserve Assessment of Bulk Carrier Accidents Triggered by Solid Bulk Cargo Liquefaction and Dynamic Separation

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Liquefaction and dynamic separation of moisture-sensitive solid bulk cargoes may remain latent for much of a voyage and then manifest as a sustained heel, leaving a comparatively short interval for emergency action.

Shrinkage Estimators for Reliability Function [PDF]

مجلة جامعة النجاح للأبحاث العلوم الطبيعية, 2012
A variety of shrinkage methods for estimating unknown parameters has been considered. We derive and compare the shrinkage estimators for the reliability function of the two-parameter exponential distribution.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...
