Tracking Health Related Quality of Life From Diagnosis to Follow‐Up Among Australian Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is one of the most treatable forms of paediatric cancer; however, there is a substantial burden of treatment‐related toxicities (TRTs). In addition, the long‐term changes in children's health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) due to toxic treatments are not well understood.

Robotic cell transportation system based on micropipette resistance modeling

Microsystems & Nanoengineering
Cell transportation, using a micropipette to pick and place cells from one droplet to another, is a key step in many cell engineering applications. However, most of the current cell transportation operations rely on microscope vision guidance, unsuitable

Mask Optimization for High-Precision Extraction of Geometric Features in Microscopic Scenes

Journal of Imaging
Regular geometric targets under microscopic scenes, such as microspheres, micropores, and microtubes, are characterized by small scales, low contrast, and degraded boundaries. Masks generated by general segmentation methods often fail to directly support

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).

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 ...

Eye-tracking during simulation-based echocardiography: a feasibility study

BMC Medical Education, 2023
Introduction Due to the technical progress point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly used in critical care medicine. However, optimal training strategies and support for novices have not been thoroughly researched so far.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

A robotic patch-clamp system with real-time localization and phase-synchronized capture of dynamic in vivo cells using micropipette resistance modelling

Microsystems & Nanoengineering
In vivo patch clamp is the gold standard for probing neuronal function in the intact brain of living animals through recordings of membrane potentials and picoampere-level ionic currents.
