ASSIST: Refinement of a Benefits Navigator Intervention Among Low‐Income Pediatric Oncology Families

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Children with cancer living in poverty experience worse survival and quality of life. Interventions connecting low‐income families to benefits (e.g., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] improve health outcomes; yet nearly 50% of SNAP‐eligible pediatric oncology families are unenrolled.

Genetic parameters for social effects on survival in cannibalistic layers: Combining survival analysis and a linear animal model [PDF]

, 2010
Background Mortality due to cannibalism in laying hens is a difficult trait to improve genetically, because censoring is high (animals still alive at the end of the testing period) and it may depend on both the individual itself and the behaviour of its ...

Tracking Health Related Quality of Life From Diagnosis to Follow‐Up Among Australian Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is one of the most treatable forms of paediatric cancer; however, there is a substantial burden of treatment‐related toxicities (TRTs). In addition, the long‐term changes in children's health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) due to toxic treatments are not well understood.

Spatially structured genetic variation in a broadcast spawning bivalve: quantitative vs. molecular traits [PDF]

, 2003
Understanding the origin, maintenance and significance of phenotypic variation is one of the central issues in evolutionary biology. An ongoing discussion focuses on the relative roles of isolation and selection as being at the heart of genetically based

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Genome-Wide Footprints of Pig Domestication and Selection Revealed through Massive Parallel Sequencing of Pooled DNA [PDF]

, 2011
Background Artificial selection has caused rapid evolution in domesticated species. The identification of selection footprints across domesticated genomes can contribute to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity.

Genetic algorithm feature selection resilient to increasing amounts of data imputation

Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference
This paper investigates the robustness of a genetic algorithm (GA) in feature selection across a dataset with increasing imputed missing values. Feature selection can be beneficial in predictive modeling to reduce computational costs and potentially ...

The quantitative genetic basis of female and male body size and their implications on the evolution of body size dimorphism in the house cricket Acheta domesticus (Gryllidae)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Few theoretical and experimental studies have analyzed the genetic basis of body size dimorphism. Since the evolutionary response to selection depends of the genetic variance in a population it is to be expected that traits under selection would have ...

Bridging the Gap in Neuroblastoma Care: Consensus‐Based Statements With Recommendations for Improved Patient and Caregiver Experiences

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma's complex, heterogeneous biology poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, often requiring caregivers to absorb complex information and participate in time‐sensitive decisions. However, caregivers often feel unprepared to evaluate options.

Potential benefit from using an identified major gene in BLUP evaluation with truncation and optimal selection [PDF]

, 1999
This study investigates the benefit of including information on an identified major gene in the estimation of breeding values in BLUP selection programmes. Selection for a quantitative trait is controlled by polygenes and a major locus with known effect.
