Abstract Ewing's sarcoma family tumors (ESFT) are characterized by the presence of EWSR1‐ETS fusion genes. Secondary chromosome changes frequently described, although their clinical significance is not clear. In this study, we have collected and reviewed abnormal karyotypes from 88 patients with primary ESFT a rearrangement 22q12. were identified in 80% (70/88) at diagnosis. Multivariate analysis showed worse overall relapse free survival (RFS) for those complex karyotype (overall survival,...
We review the state of evaluation within outcome-based commissioning in United Kingdom. This is first to include empirical evaluations both PbR and SIB programmes. find a paucity that quality not high. Moreover, studies tend conflate outcomes-based mechanism with intervention or services are funded, unable assess contribution these separate elements impact. Our also highlights challenges faced by evaluators measuring social outcomes. suggest ways address challenges.
Hospital-acquired enteric infections, particularly those due to rotavirus, were investigated by studying 220 patients under 3 years of age who admitted without gastroenteritis two paediatric general medical wards during a 10 month period. Faecal specimens collected within 48 h admission and then daily until the discharged. Samples also after discharge if developed symptoms 2 days discharge. Fourteen per cent (31 220) acquired rotavirus infections while in hospital, 23% (seven 30) excreted...
Based on the experience of evaluating 2 cross-age peer-tutoring interventions, we argue that researchers need to pay greater attention causal mechanisms within context school-based randomised controlled trials. Without studying mechanisms, are less able explain underlying processes give rise results from Studying implementation fidelity is necessary but not sufficient for explanation; study through application mixed methods also required. Due increasingly complicated nature many...

Background: A cluster randomised controlled trial was conducted to test whether the offer of Family Skills, a programme targeted at parents reception year (4–5 year-old) pupils with English as an Additional Language (EAL), raised attainment.Purpose: There is little existing evidence family literacy programmes delivered in school settings are effective raising attainment among EAL context. This study seeks address this gap.Programme description: Eleven two and half hour sessions were during...

Sociological discussions of sexual practices are often abstracted out from material constraints, with sex understood to be a private, personal matter.
