Phase Angle as an Early Functional Biomarker of Cancer‐Related Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low‐and middle‐income countries. Cancer treatment may impair nutritional status, alter body composition, and exacerbate cancer‐related fatigue (CRF).

A Unified Probabilistic Framework for the Reliability and Robustness Assessment of Series Structural Systems: Axiomatic Foundations and Computational Approximations

Mathematics
This paper develops a unified probabilistic framework for the simultaneous assessment of reliability and robustness of series structural systems. Part I formulates an axiomatic theory of structural robustness: the robustness factor Frob is defined as the

Structural Robustness of Unidirectional Dependent Networks Based on Attack Strategies

Cybernetics and Information Technologies, 2016
Current works have been focused on the robustness of single network and interdependent networks. However, to be more correct, the dependence of many real systems should be described as unidirectional.

Animal‐Assisted Activities With Therapy Dogs in Pediatric Oncology: A Multicenter Survey of the Current Status, Implementation, and Challenges in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Animal‐assisted activities (AAAs) with therapy dogs have shown positive effects on patient well‐being and quality of life in various areas of medicine, including pediatric oncology. However, research on this topic is limited. The aim of this study is to present the current status of AAA in pediatric oncology in Germany, Austria, and

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...
