A call to action for expanded sleep research in pediatric oncology: A position paper on behalf of the International Psycho‐Oncology Society Pediatrics Special Interest Group
Abstract Sleep and circadian rhythms are closely related to physical and psychosocial well‐being. However, sleep and circadian rhythm disruptions are often overlooked in children with cancer, as they are frequently considered temporary side effects of therapy that resolve when treatment ends. Yet, evidence from adult oncology suggests a bidirectional relationship wherein cancer and its treatment disrupt sleep and circadian rhythms, which are associated with negative health outcomes such as poor...

Using Smart‐Messaging to Enhance Mindfulness‐Based Cognitive Therapy for Cancer Patients: A Mixed Methods Proof of Concept Evaluation
Abstract Objective Depression and anxiety lead to reduced treatment adherence, poorer quality of life, and increased care costs amongst cancer patients. Mindfulness‐Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an effective treatment, but dropout reduces potential benefits. Smart‐message reminders can prevent dropout and improve effectiveness. However, smart‐messaging is untested for MBCT in cancer. This study evaluates smart‐messaging to reduce dropout and improve effectiveness in MBCT for cancer patients...

Most effective methods for obfuscating python code?

I’ve considered cython, but I don’t know how well this would work. Can anyone offer suggestions for the best method of hiding my code? submitted by /u/QuantumFall [link] [comments]

Reddit wallpaper scraper [beginner]
Hey guys, as one of my beginner projects, I made a fairly simple reddit wallpaper scraper using PRAW.

Further improvements I would like to add to the script are something like user input (for choosing your preferred subreddit, period, etc as command line arguments), system notifications (for when the...

Question about import and auto-py-to-exe
Hi, I've made a simple script where I import a few packages including numpy. I then used auto-py-to-exe to make it into a single exe file. But the file is really big (script is like 17kb and the exe is 35Mb) and runs a kind of slow. I was wondering if I could make the exe smaller and faster by only importing the things I need from the packages? Like from nympy import X as Y? Or does auto-py-to-exe still fetch the whole package? Other tips are welcome :) Thanks submitted by /u/blimpofdoom [link]...
