“…Though we have no clear explanation for this finding, it may be due to gender differences in the utilization of healthcare services in India. 55 Apart from being a retrospective review, another limitation of our study is the lack of adequate risk stratification at diagnosis and at relapse. Molecular studies to stratify patients with normal cytogenetics were not done for most of the patients.…”

Food is the most indispensable part of our human life. Grains, Pulses, Fruits, Vegetables, Oils, etc., contain more amount of nutrients. But nowadays because our busy schedules, we consume food based on our comfort. We could not analyze if the food is either good or harmful to our health. A food with insufficient nutritional value is referred to as junk food. According to the recent studies, children are almost addicted to this junk food items because of cartoons and animations advertisement for unhealthy food habits. They conceive a curiosity among the children. These food items forge various diseases in their body both mentally and physically. Parents cannot steer them to avoid this processed food. These foods affect the children's healthy food habits. To isolate the desirable alternative in multicriteria decision-making problems, a novel accuracy function is introduced. Based on the novel accuracy function, a multicriteria fuzzy-decision making method is entrenched in which criterion values for alternatives are interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets.

“…This is also seen in other countries, where healthcare services for the diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancer are predominantly restricted to a few tertiary care centers located in major cities. This configuration does not favor an early diagnosis of childhood cancer and contributes to an increased risk of death [25,26]. In a previous study, pediatric cancer patients from the state of Paraíba and / or their family members or caregivers reported they were provided with transportation to/from the HNL Pediatric Oncology Sector by the municipal administration [27].…”

To determine the occurrence and severity of oral mucositis (OM) and the factors associated with the onset of severe oral mucositis (SOM) in pediatric cancer patients. Material and Methods: This was a longitudinal and prospective study with 85 children and adolescents (aged 0 to 19 years) admitted to the Pediatric Oncology Sector of Napoleão Laureano Hospital between November 2016 and July 2019. The patients' sociodemographic and epidemiological information, as well as hematological and biochemical parameters, were obtained from their medical charts. The oral mucosa of study participants was assessed through the modified Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) at baseline and after the 2nd, 5th and 10th week of antineoplastic treatment. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test to determine the factors associated with the occurrence of SOM (p<0.05). Results: The occurrence of OM was more frequent in the 2nd (60%), 5th (40.9%) and 10th week (43.2%) of antineoplastic treatment. During the follow-up period, SOM was more frequent in the 5th week (34.7%), followed by the 2nd (32.3%) and 10th weeks (29.7%). There was no association between the occurrence of SOM and the patient's age, type of tumor, chemotherapy regimen, and hematological and biochemical parameters. Conclusion: The occurrence of oral mucositis in pediatric cancer patients was significant, especially in the 2nd week of antineoplastic treatment. Severe oral mucositis was more prevalent in the 5th week of treatment and was not associated with any of the study variables.
