Background: In adult oncology, the practice of tracking symptoms and toxicities using patient-reported outcomes (PROs) has increased and correlates with increased survival. In contrast, symptom monitoring using PROs is not common in pediatric oncology. Only in the last couple of years attention has also been paid to the patient’s perception in pediatrics and listening to the voice of children and to making them participate in the treatment. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed and PsycINFO to identify relevant articles published through December 2022. Results: From 58 non-duplicate articles, 33 met our eligibility criteria. Of these, 17 were used in clinical trials. Conclusions: The dissemination and use of these tools will therefore have surprising repercussions on the control of pain and physical symptoms of small patients as well as on physical and psychological aspects. The administration and use of the PROs ensures optimal use of the drugs currently present in clinical trials by researcher and nurse and aims at a safer and more controlled approval of new drugs.

This paper aims at presenting the textual structure of the world in Sein und Zeit hermeneutics. Therefore, firstly, the two argumentative moments where Heidegger introduces his concept of the world are reconstructed. Secondly, it is proposed an interpretation of the world guided by a notion of text that establishes that the minimum textuality criterion is the semantic coherence. Here, there appear the relations among the world, the theory of the action, the linguistic work, the coherence and the self-reference.

The purpose of this study is to determine Heidegger’s dominant position in front of the relationship between existence improper modality and theory. From the ambivalence of this issue in Sein und Zeit, the study goes through the different lectures of the Marburg period where Heidegger talks about this same issue. The text examines Heidegger’s explanation of the phenomenological notion of conscience and the Aristotelian concepts “sofía”, “dóxa” and “episteme” in order to establish Heidegger’s dominant position in relation to the improper origin of these theoretical concepts.

The text talks about one of the main methodological issues that Heidegger mentioned in the Frühe Freiburger Vorlesungen (1919-1923), i.e., the problem of the formal indication. In fact, if life itself (Dasein) is an occurrence of closed meaning in itself, it is necessary to establish a point of view that conceptually expresses life without objectifying it. The main problem Heidegger faces is showing a non-objectifying metalanguage. The concept of formal indication allows him to make a discourse about the origin.
