‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

Geometrical families of mechanically stable granular packings

open access: yes, 2009
We enumerate and classify nearly all of the possible mechanically stable (MS) packings of bidipserse mixtures of frictionless disks in small sheared systems.

Thermal rearrangements in the tetra-arylcyclopropene series [PDF]

open access: yes, 1967
The literature provides many examples of thermal rearrangements of small-ring compounds to yield systems involving less bond-angle strain. In the arylcyclopropene series these involve, in many cases, fairly complex pathways, and only formalized ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Strain-induced dielectric anisotropy of polymers for rapid and sensitive monitoring of the small elastic strain

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2023
Stretching is the most important way of forming polymer films, and the mechanism of stretch-induced structural evolution is a long-standing fundamental issue in the stretching process of polymer films. Current methods are limited in sampling frequency or

Falling through the black hole horizon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the fate of a small classical object, a "stick", as it falls through the horizon of a large black hole (BH). Classically, the equivalence principle dictates that the stick is affected by small tidal forces, and Hawking's quantum-mechanical ...

Enhancing Constitutive Models for Soils: Adding the Capability to Model Nonlinear Small Strain in Shear

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2019
The deviatoric stress-deviatoric strain relationship in soils is highly nonlinear, especially in the small strain range. However, the constitutive models which aim to replicate the small strain nonlinearity are often complex and rarely used in ...

Heterogeneous relaxation dynamics in amorphous materials under cyclic loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate heterogeneous dynamics in amorphous glassy materials under oscillatory shear strain. We consider three-dimensional binary Lennard-Jones mixture well below the glass transition temperature.
