Mapping Childhood Cancer Care Services in Oceania: Methodological Lessons From the SIOP Global Mapping Programme

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The International Paediatric Oncology Society Global Mapping Programme aims to collect data on global paediatric oncology services by continent, with Africa and Latin America completed. This study reports on the methodology and lessons learned for Oceania, a unique continent with resource disparity across countries, multiple small island ...

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

On Hierarchical Composite Endpoints in Pediatric Cancer Supportive Care: Illustrative Examples From Two Multi‐Center Phase‐III Randomized Clinical Trials

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric supportive care clinical trials often involve multiple clinically important outcomes, complicating trial interpretation. Hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs) provide a framework to integrate key outcomes according to clinical importance.

Does Weight Gain Associated with Thiazolidinedione Use Negatively Affect Cardiometabolic Health?

Journal of Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome, 2017
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are oral anti-diabetic drugs that are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists and act as insulin sensitizers.

Alargamento da distribuição de massa molar de polímeros sintetizados com catalisadores metalocênicos dual-site Broadening of molecular weight distribution of polymers synthesized by metallocene-based dual-site catalysts

Química Nova, 2008
The main topics related to the use of dual-site catalysts in the production of polymers with broad molecular weight distribution are reviewed. The polymerization using dual-site catalysts is more economical and allows to produce a higher quality product ...

Duality and Support Weight Distributions

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2004
We show how to compute the support weight distribution A/sub i//sup r/ for r/spl ges/k-d/sub 2//sup /spl perp//+3, where d/sub 2//sup /spl perp// is the second minimum support weight of a code, provided the weight enumerator of the dual code is known.

Invariance of Weight Distributions in Rectified MLPs

CoRR, 2017
An interesting approach to analyzing neural networks that has received renewed attention is to examine the equivalent kernel of the neural network. This is based on the fact that a fully connected feedforward network with one hidden layer, a certain weight distribution, an activation function, and an infinite number of neurons can be viewed as a ...

A Population‐Based Study on Childhood Aplastic Anemia—Incidence, Outcomes, and Health‐Related Quality of Life

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Childhood aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare disease, and both the disease itself and its treatment cause significant morbidity. We aimed to determine the contemporary incidence of childhood AA in Finland, to compare the clinical characteristics of AA against inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) and refractory cytopenia of ...

Die Fraktionierung von Polymethylmethacrylaten nach dem Molekulargewicht durch Gegenstromverteilung

CHIMIA, 1973
A polydisperse sample of polymethylmethacrylate with an average molecular weight of 168000 has been fractionated by countercurrent distribution into fractions of different molecular weight using a phase pair prepared from acetone, n-hexane and water.

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 ...
