A Situational Assessment of the Diagnostic Landscape and Organizational Readiness to Implement Next‐Generation Sequencing at Two Childhood Cancer Treatment Centers in Ghana

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has emerged as a promising approach to improve diagnostic accuracy, but its feasibility in low‐ and middle‐income countries remains unknown. This study characterized the diagnostic landscape and assessed organizational readiness for NGS implementation at two childhood cancer treatment centers in Accra ...

Sampling strategies for estimating forest cover from remote sensing-based two-stage inventories

Forest Ecosystems, 2015
Background Remote sensing-based inventories are essential in estimating forest cover in tropical and subtropical countries, where ground inventories cannot be performed periodically at a large scale owing to high costs and forest inaccessibility (e.g ...

Two-stage sampled learning theory on distributions

, 2014
We focus on the distribution regression problem: regressing to a real-valued response from a probability distribution. Although there exist a large number of similarity measures between distributions, very little is known about their generalization performance in specific learning tasks.

Halton Sampling for Image Registration Based on Mutual Information

, 2008
Mutual information is a widely used similarity measure for aligning multimodal medical images. At its core, it relies on the computation of a discrete joint histogram, which itself requires image samples for its estimation.

Referral Practices and Utilisation of Paediatric Oncology Physiotherapy Services in Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Physical rehabilitation is highly recognised in improving the quality of life of cancer survivors through prehabilitation, sequelae management and palliative care, yet its integration into routine care in Ghana has not been characterised, leading to potential gaps in service access.

Adaptive two-stage inverse sampling design to estimate density, abundance, and occupancy of rare and clustered populations.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Sampling rare and clustered populations is challenging because of the effort required to find rare units. Heuristically, a practitioner would prefer to discontinue sampling in areas where rare units of interest are apparently extremely sparse or absent ...

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Treatment of unit non-response in two-stage sampling with partial replacement of units

Statistica, 2007
Three separate estimators, for the estimation of the population total, based on two-stage sampling design on two successive occasions with partial replacement of secondary stage units only have been presented.
