Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

A Consistent Nonparametric Test for Granger Non-Causality Based on the Transfer Entropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
To date, testing for Granger non-causality using kernel density-based nonparametric estimates of the transfer entropy has been hindered by the intractability of the asymptotic distribution of the estimators. We overcome this by shifting from the transfer

Approximations for multivariate U-statistics

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 1987
Let \(X_ 1,X_ 2,..\). be independent, identically distributed random variables with values in a measurable space (\({\mathcal X},{\mathcal F})\) and let \(H: {\mathcal X}\times {\mathcal X}\to {\mathbb{R}}^ k\) be measurable and symmetric. The author derives a Berry-Esseen type approximation and an Edgeworth expansion of order up to \(o(N^{-})\) of the

Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

Asymptotics for the Moment Convergence of U-Statistics in LIL

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2010
Let Un be a U-statistic based on a symmetric kernel h(x,y) and i.i.d. samples {X,Xn;n≥1}. In this paper, the exact moment convergence rates in the law of the iterated logarithm and the law of the logarithm of Un are obtained, which extend previous

The LIL for canonical U-statistics

open access: yesThe Annals of Probability, 2008
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the (bounded) law of the iterated logarithm for canonical $U$-statistics of arbitrary order $d$, extending the previously known results for $d=2$. The nasc's are expressed as growth conditions on a parameterized family of norms associated with the $U$-statistics kernel.

Prolonged Corrected QT Interval as an Early Electrocardiographic Marker of Cyclophosphamide‐Induced Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Patients

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cyclophosphamide (CY) is associated with potentially fatal cardiotoxicity, yet no electrocardiographic indices have been established for early detection of CY‐induced cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to determine whether corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation can predict early onset of CY‐related cardiac dysfunction in pediatric ...

Indicators of Simulated Driving Skills in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesOpen Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2013
Adolescents are at high risk for motor vehicle crashes (MVCs). Teens with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have an even greater risk for MVCs due to impaired visual, cognitive, and motor skills critical for driving.
