PURPOSE: Pediatric oncology and bone marrow transplant patients are at high risk of infection, limitations to dental expertise among medical providers render vulnerable central line–associated bloodstream infections from oral pathogens. Traditionally, health maintenance relied on bedside nurses; however, routine methods often suboptimal prevent infection in high-risk patients. Limited overlap expertise, limited resources typical units, optimal care for children with cancer, requiring novel...
There is no consensus on the best donor for children with nonmalignant disorders and immune deficiencies in absence of a matched related (MRD). We evaluated 2-year overall survival (OS) after umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) patients from 2009 to 2020 enrolled prospective clinical trial using either 5/6 or 6/6 UCB as cell source. Patients receive fully ablative busulfan, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine without serotherapy. Fifty-five were enrolled, median age 5 months (range, 1-111...
Objective: Physiologic uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in brown adipose tissue (adipose tissue) cancer patients may confound interpretation positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Uptake occurs up to half pediatric oncology undergoing PET scans, and is especially common adolescents. innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, beta blockers such as propranolol have shown efficacy reducing on scans done older adult patients. Participants: Because cause hypoglycemia or other side...
Most incident coronary disease occurs in previously asymptomatic individuals who were considered to be at a lower risk by traditional screening methods. There is definite advantage if these could reclassified into higher category, thereby impacting outcomes favorably. Coronary artery calcium scores have been recognized as an independent marker for adverse prognosis disease. Multiple population based studies acknowledged the shortcomings of prediction models such Framingham score or Procam...
