Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

The curvature perturbation at second order [PDF]
, 2015 We give an explicit relation, up to second-order terms, between scalar-field fluctuations defined on spatially-flat slices and the curvature perturbation on uniform-density slices.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Neuroblastoma (NB) with central nervous system (CNS) metastases is rare at diagnosis, but occurs more often during relapse/progression. Patients with CNS metastases face a dismal prognosis, with no standardized curative treatment available.

Second order cumulants: Second order even elements and $R$-diagonal elements
Annales de l’Institut Henri Poincaré D, Combinatorics, Physics and their Interactions, 2023 We introduce R -diagonal and even operators of second order. We give a formula for the second order free cumulants of the square x^2 of a second order even element in terms of the second order free cumulants of

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.

Second order symmetric duality in fractional variational problems over cone constraints [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2018 In the present paper, we introduce a pair of second order fractional symmetric variational programs over cone constraints and derive weak, strong, and converse duality theorems under second order F-convexity assumptions. Moreover, self duality theorem is

Detection of first and second order motion [PDF]
, 1998 A model of motion detection is presented. The model contains three stages. The first stage is unoriented and is selective for contrast polarities. The next two stages work in parallel. A phase insensitive stage pools across different contrast polarities

Second order asymptotics for matrix models
, 2007 We study several-matrix models and show that when the potential is convex and a small perturbation of the Gaussian potential, the first order correction to the free energy can be expressed as a generating function for the enumeration of maps of genus one.

Second order spiral splines [PDF]
Computer Aided Geometric Design, 2019 Second order spiral splines are $C^2$ unit-speed planar curves that can be used to interpolate a list $Y$ of $n+1$ points in $\R ^2$ at times specified in some list $T$, where $n\geq 2$. Asymptotic methods are used to develop a fast algorithm, based on a pair of tridiagonal linear systems and standard software.
