Cancer-related fatigueCancer-related fatigue is a symptom of fatigue that is experienced by nearly all cancer patients. Among patients receiving cancer treatment other than surgery, it is essentially universal. Fatigue is a normal and expected side effect of most forms of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and biotherapy. On average, cancer-related fatigue is "more severe, more distressing, and less likely to be relieved by rest" than fatigue experienced by healthy people. It can range from mild to severe, and may be either temporary or a long-term effect.
Calcul stochastiqueLe calcul est l’étude des phénomènes aléatoires dépendant du temps. À ce titre, c'est une extension de la théorie des probabilités. Ne pas confondre avec la technique des calculateurs stochastiques. Le domaine d’application du calcul stochastique comprend la mécanique quantique, le traitement du signal, la chimie, les mathématiques financières, la météorologie et même la musique. Un processus aléatoire est une famille de variables aléatoires indexée par un sous-ensemble de ou , souvent assimilé au temps (voir aussi Processus stochastique).
Hemolytic anemiaHemolytic anemia or haemolytic anaemia is a form of anemia due to hemolysis, the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells (RBCs), either in the blood vessels (intravascular hemolysis) or elsewhere in the human body (extravascular). This most commonly occurs within the spleen, but also can occur in the reticuloendothelial system or mechanically (prosthetic valve damage). Hemolytic anemia accounts for 5% of all existing anemias. It has numerous possible consequences, ranging from general symptoms to life-threatening systemic effects.
