ABSTRACT Introduction While clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for pediatric oncology infection prophylaxis and management exist, few data describe actual occurring at centers. Methods An electronic survey querying practices in nontransplant patients was iteratively created by the Children's Oncology Group (COG) Cancer Control Supportive Care Infectious Diseases Subcommittee sent to leaders all COG institutions, limiting each site one response represent their institution. Results The rate...
Integrins are cell-surface receptors, which mediate cell-to-cell and cell-to-extracellular matrix adhesion. Besides playing an important role in tumour angiogenesis, β3-integrin is also expressed several types of epithelial cancer cells. It was the purpose present study to evaluate prognostic value expression patients with cervical cancer. Biopsies were taken from 82 squamous cell or adenocarcinomas uterine cervix who had undergone external-beam radiotherapy without brachytherapy. These...
Feline calicivirus (FCV) causes an array of clinical disease in cats. Traditionally this has been associated with respiratory disease, limping, or chronic stomatitis. Within the last 10 years, virulent systemic feline (VS-FCV) recognized which additional signs and a higher fatality rate. A dual-strain FCV vaccine containing strain traditional VS-FCV stimulates serum cross-neutralization antibodies when tested against field strains from Europe USA. Following challenge homologous strain,...
Background: Childhood cancer survivors and bone marrow transplant recipients treated with radiation therapy (RT) are at increased risk for subsequent thyroid cancer. However, the genetic landscape of pediatric cancer, both primary RT-induced, remains poorly defined, as papillary carcinoma (PTC) has been understudied compared adults data on follicular (FTC) virtually nonexistent. The objective this study was to characterize compare molecular profiles RT-induced PTC FTC cases cancers. Methods:...
BACKGROUND After hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a known and fairly common complication. It often refractory to conventional therapies including corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, splenectomy, the more recently described use of monoclonal antibodies. The high morbidity associated with these severe persistent cases elucidates gaps in alternative available for treatment. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We successful abatacept AIHA after...
PURPOSE The optimal management of fever without severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] ≥500/µL) in pediatric patients with cancer is undefined. previously proposed Esbenshade Vanderbilt (EsVan) models accurately predict bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) this population and provide risk stratification to aid management, but have lacked prospective external validation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Episodes a central venous catheter ANC ≥500/µL occurring were prospectively collected...
Objective: The aim is to identify preventable cause for hospital readmissions during induction and implement interventions decreased treatment-associated complications. Background: Multiple factors contribute patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) requiring induction. Materials Methods: A dashboard monitored features of newly diagnosed ALL. Readmission causes were stratified as preventable, possibly or unpreventable. discharge checklist, including standardized education, change...
In analogy to historical data [1], the authors provide important proof of principle that adult thyroid tissues cultivated in vitro show self-renewal and differentiation capacities might ultimately be use for regenerative autologous transplantation back into donor patient affected by hypothyroidism.
e22519 Background: Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) negatively impacts the quality of life pediatric patients receiving antineoplastic agents. Our objective was to prevent CINV using a hospital wide electronic health record (EHR) based real-time surveillance system for automated detection. Methods: A software program designed provide hospital-wide data reporting developed. The utilizes dashboard feature that extracts patient specific information on agents, antiemetic...
The role of fiber in body weight regulation may involve enhanced satiety. This double blind, crossover design study (N=20) sought to examine the satiety response a short‐chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) and its ability decrease energy intake. On 3 occasions subjects were randomly assigned consume 2 separate doses 0g (control), 5g or 8g scFOS, first at breakfast beverage form, second prior dinner solid chews. Visual analogue scales (VAS) completed assess between lunch. Ad libitium food...
S251 ESTRO 37other two signatures do also show increased HR values (albeit not significant) further supporting the role of EMT in HNSCC prognosis.Remarkably, these only reached consensus for 55 out 95 samples.Sub-analyses that prognostic value was reduced remaining discordantly classified samples.In an attempt to optimize HNSCC, we therefore used samples train a new classifier and tested it on subgroup patients.We this distant metastasis-free survival (HR 10.6 ; p=0.004).
