Exercise Capacity, Physical Activity, Fatigue, and Neurocognitive Function in Adult Survivors of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk of reduced exercise capacity, decreased physical activity levels, persistent fatigue, and neurocognitive deficits. The aim was to investigate exercise capacity and physical activity levels of adult survivors of childhood ALL and their associations with ...

Automated calculation of slice-specific volume computed tomography dose index, water-equivalent diameter, and size-specific dose estimation for computed tomography scans

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology
PURPOSE: To develop and validate an automated computational tool for calculating a slice-specific volume computed tomography (CT) dose index (CTDIvol), a water-equivalent diameter (Dw), and size-specific dose estimates (SSDEs) from CT images, addressing ...

Development of size-specific dose estimates for common computed tomography examinations: a study in Ghana

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2023
Abstract This study determined the size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) of computed tomography (CT) examinations and derived mathematical expressions for dose output estimation and optimization in a teaching hospital in Ghana. Demographic and scanner output indices, including CT dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product for adult head ...

Abatacept for Prophylaxis of Acute and Chronic Graft‐Versus‐Host‐Disease in Children Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Cohort Studies

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Graft‐versus‐host disease (GvHD) remains one of the most significant complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Abatacept, a selective T‐cell costimulation modulator, is a relatively novel prophylactic agent, though pediatric data remain limited.

A practical slice averaged image method for precise CT size specific dose estimates

Scientific Reports
Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used diagnostic tool, but variations in patient anatomy make accurate radiation dose estimation challenging. While size-specific dose estimates (SSDE) can serve as a more effective tool for dose prediction than ...

Bone and Soft Tissue Neoplasms in Infants Versus Older Children: A Report From the Cancer in Young People in Canada Program

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Infant bone and soft tissue neoplasms present distinct clinical challenges and lack large‐scale data to inform treatment decisions. This study aims to characterize bone and soft tissue neoplasms in infants in Canada and to compare their outcomes with those of older pediatric patients.

Impact of Initial Treatment Setting on Survival in Relapsed Pediatric and AYA Bone Sarcomas: A Secondary Analysis of a Prospective Clinical Trial

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Outcomes in relapsed or refractory pediatric and AYA bone sarcomas remain poor, and the impact of early referral to specialized sarcoma centers on survival is unclear. Early centralization of care may improve local and systemic treatment quality, but evidence in this population is limited.

Batch size estimate [PDF]

, 2022
In this work we analyze the main batch resolution algorithms. We particularly focus on the tree-based class to underline how their efficiency depends on the batch size.
