This brief report displays comprehensive details of health services provided by Children's Welfare Teaching Hospital, medical city, Baghdad. In 2010; 366 children with newly diagnosed cancer were admitted for treatment, two thirds leukemia and lymphoma cases followed other solid tumors except brain tumors. With this large number patients; there are shortcomings in provision many aspects including professional manpower, infrastructure, diagnostic therapeutic facilities, supportive palliative...
Background KRAS and NRAS gene mutations are frequently observed in childhood leukemia. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency RAS association between other genetic aberrations Arab Asian children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or myeloid (AML). Methods Diagnostic samples 485 patients (<18 years) from Iraq Jordan were obtained, using Flinders Technology Associates filter papers. Polymerase chain reaction direct sequencing performed Japan. Results detected 86/318...
Background: Cancer incidence in the world is predicted to increase next decade. While progress has been diagnosis and treatment, much still remains be done improve cancer pain therapy, mainly underserved communities low-income countries. Objective: To determine knowledge, beliefs, barriers regarding management both high- countries (according WHO classification); learn about ways current state of affairs. Design: Descriptive survey. Setting/Subjects: Fifty-six worldwide; convenience sample...
Iraq's health care system has gradually declined after several decades of wars, terrorism, and UN economic sanctions. The Oncology Unit at Children's Welfare Teaching Hospital (CWTH) in Baghdad was lacking basic facilities support. To address this shortcoming, a humanitarian educational partnership established between CWTH Sapienza University Rome (SUR).We investigated the outcomes 80 online 16 onsite sessions 142 teleconsultation from 2006 to 2014. We also determined pathology reviews by...
Background. Childhood Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an eminently curable disease. Good outcomes can be achieved even in resource-limited settings and increasingly, the focus on limiting long-term toxicity. Contemporary treatment incorporates a risk-stratified, response-adapted approach using multiagent chemotherapy with/without low-dose radiotherapy. Many developing countries continue to use ABVD-based regimens due limited acute toxicity, cost, ease of delivery. Objective. We herein report...
We performed a retrospective analysis of 1415 acute lymphoblastic leukemia children diagnosed between January 2000 and December 2016 at Children Welfare Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq. Patients were divided into three cohorts according to treatment period (2000-2005; 2006-2011; 2012-2016). Treatments based on modified-UKALL protocols; steroid-pre-phase was introduced from September 2008. The overall complete remission 86%, increased 80% 91% in the last period. Early deaths occurred 10%,...
Culturally compatible palliative care presupposes understanding of that culture's perspectives cancer and death.Iraq is a culturally diverse country with different towards death.The concept among Iraqi people patients primitive; the majority them have no idea what about.As long as there national program -most medical health providers themselves are also not familiar -it more than terminology they had read about during under-and postgraduate course if this ever happened.The strength field in...
A small percentage of children with Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) suffer from a clinically significant disease severe thrombocytopenia that requires intervention. Treatment for these presents challenge as there are few known therapies offer long-term remission, and all have side effects toxicities. To evaluate the variety treatment modalities on clinical course, long outcomes in chronic ITP. study involved 60 ITP who were referred to Hemato-Oncology unit/Children's Welfare Teaching...
Background: About 300 childhood cancer cases are diagnosed annually at the Children Welfare Teaching Hospital (CWTH) in Baghdad, Iraq, and aproximately 32% acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Procedure: We performed a retrospective single-center analysis of 1415 ALL children ranging from 1 to 15 years, between January 2000 December 2016. Patients were divided into three cohorts according treatment period (2000-2005; 2006-2011; 2012-2016). Treatment protocols based on consecutive, modified...
Several studies provide evidence for a role of serum cytokines imbalance including IL-10 and IL-27 in immune thrombocytopenia pathogenesis prognosis. The aim this study was designed to investigate the levels prognosis efficiency treatment thrombocytopenic Iraqi children.
Background: Hypovitaminosis D can cause immunological irregularities in the development of immune thrombocytopenia. Objectives: To identify frequency low levels 25-hydroxyvitamin children with Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and to assess effect disease phase type treatment on vitamin level. Methods: This case-control study was carried out 88 (63 had been diagnosed 25 healthy as controls) during November 2023 April 2024. The patients were sub-grouped according global classification level into...
Background:Despite their obvious clinical importance, the physiological functions of ABO blood group antigens remain a mystery.An association between type and cancer was initially suggested through observation that stomach patients were more likely to have A than control subjects.A variety other cancers since been linked but associations generally inconsistent. Aims study: To identify any grouping Rh with Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) outcome disease.Patients methods:This is...
Molecular analyses in hematological malignancies provide insights about genetic makeup. Probable etiological factors leukemogenesis could also be disclosed. Since are still primitive Iraq, a country of repeated wars, we conceived performing next-generation sequencing (NGS), to disclose the genomic landscape acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and myeloid (AML) among cohort Iraqi children.Dried blood samples were collected from children with ALL (n=55), or AML (n=11), transferred Japan where...
Modern treatments have dramatically improved the prognosis of childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). This progress has not yielded equivalent benefit in developing countries, where biological studies and supportive cares are insufficient often unavailable. Since 2003, an all-trans retinoic (ATRA)-based, risk-adapted protocol was initiated Baghdad. Patients were defined: high-risk with WBC ≥10 × 109/L standard-risk <10 109/L. ATRA included induction maintenance and, from 2010,...
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the demographic, clinical and biochemical characteristics as predictors of haemolysis after ingesting fava beans.

Data collected using a specially designed form. purposive sampling method used recruit 49 males 8 females who visiting pediatric emergency department March May 2017...
Background Decades of political and economic instability have taken a significant toll on health outcomes among children in Iraq. In system with optimal resources, five-year rates survival for childhood cancer would exceed 80%; however, study Iraq demonstrated much lower rate 50%, reflecting disrupted care infrastructure. Under such conditions, it is struggle to sustain good treatment outcomes. The aims the present are to: i) estimate median time from initial presentation diagnosis at...
