Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy [PDF]

Neurology Clinical Practice, 2019
Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative diseases that are caused by abnormal pathogenic agents and can affect both humans and animals. These diseases are categorized as sporadic, inherited, or acquired by infection. Clinical manifestations include psychiatric symptoms, cognitive impairment, and parkinsonism, which are similar to those of other prion ...

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Optimal strategy for improved estimation of population mean of sensitive variable using non-sensitive auxiliary variable

Journal of Big Data
To improve the transformed ratio type estimators, this study uses new population parameters that are derived from extra information using a randomized response technique (RRT).

Solid state variable time delay [PDF]

, 1970
Variable time delay line does not require use of a magnetic field to control a time delay, and can both amplify and delay a signal. Device is inexpensive and space saving, it does not require mecanically moving components, eliminating detrimental ...

Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Quantify the Impact of Non-Response and Measurement Error of Sensitive Variable(s) under Two-Phase Sampling employing ORRT Models

Communications in Advanced Mathematical Sciences, 2023
Throughout this article, a two-phase sampling (TPS) technique is employed to estimate the population mean of the sensitive variable. The current article endeavours to develop a chain ratio type estimator for the estimation of sensitive variable(s) in the

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 ...

Improving a novel quantitative randomized response method using auxiliary variable information

Heliyon
In the majority of sample surveys, the variable of interest might have sensitive characteristics. Since we frequently get unrealistic responses from respondents during interviews as employing the direct method is not seen logical in these situations.

Decoherence, wave function collapses and non-ordinary statistical mechanics

, 2002
We consider a toy model of pointer interacting with a 1/2-spin system, whose $\sigma_{x}$ variable is \emph{measured} by the environment, according to the prescription of decoherence theory.
