Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden.

Signal Quality Assessment of F-waves in Atrial Fibrillation
Computing in Cardiology Conference (CinC), 2017 Ambulatory ECG recordings are frequently corrupted by artifacts caused by, e.g., muscle activity or moving electrodes, which complicates the analysis of f-waves and motivates signal quality assessment to improve the reliability off-wave analysis. Although many methods have been developed for assessing the quality of ECG signals in general, no method ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between

Artefact detection and quality assessment of ambulatory ECG signals
Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2019 The presence of noise sources could reduce the diagnostic capability of the ECG signal and result in inappropriate treatment decisions. To mitigate this problem, automated algorithms to detect artefacts and quantify the quality of the recorded signal are needed.
