OBJECTIVE. Suboptimal adherence to self-administered medications is a common problem. The purpose of this study was determine the effectiveness video-game intervention for improving and other behavioral outcomes adolescents young adults with malignancies including acute leukemia, lymphoma, soft-tissue sarcoma. METHODS. A randomized trial baseline 1- 3-month assessments conducted from 2004 2005 at 34 medical centers in United States, Canada, Australia. total 375 male female patients who were...
Children with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have an unusually high incidence of smooth-muscle tumors (leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas) in addition to malignant lymphomas. We tested hypothesis that these children are associated Epstein–Barr virus (EBV).
In ob/ob mice, leptin increases energy expenditure and sympathetic outflow to brown adipose tissue (BAT). To test whether the mechanism of increased may involve thermogenesis in BAT, we acclimated normal rats thermoneutrality for 2 wk followed by administration 1 wk. Some were food restricted level consumption leptin-treated ad libitum-fed rats, same both administered a second week. We examined oxygen uncoupling protein (UCP) expression BAT. Leptin after 5th 6th days 4th, 5th,...

Abstract BACKGROUND Recent studies of men with prostate carcinoma suggest that obesity may be associated more advanced‐stage disease and lower overall survival rates. One possible link between body mass index (BMI) prognosis ascertainment. Prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) is widely used to screen for carcinoma. METHODS The authors examined the association BMI PSA in a population‐based study 2779 without Between 2001 2004, these were enrolled sponsored by San Antonio Center Biomarkers Risk,...
It is unclear how best to treat children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are in a second remission after bone marrow relapse. For those HLA-identical siblings, the question of whether perform transplantation or continue chemotherapy has not been answered.
Our goal was to determine the effects resistance training on circulating IGF-I and two of its major binding proteins, IGFBP-1 IGFBP-3. Additional goals were compare time course hormonal changes with strength effect volume extent changes.Thirty-one men women (mean age = 37 +/- 7 yr) completed a 25-wk, 3 d x wk(-1) program in which they performed single-set (1-SET, N 11), multiple-set (3-SET, or no exercise (Control, 9). Before training, after 13 25 wk blood hormones analyzed assessed as sum...
Objective: Our objective was to compare outcomes of a restrictive liberal red cell transfusion strategy in 20% or more total body surface area (TBSA) burn patients. We hypothesized that the group would have less blood stream infection (BSI), organ dysfunction, and mortality. Background: Patients with major burns (>1 volume) requirements. Studies suggest is equivalent strategy. However, injury precluded from these studies. The optimal thus needed but remains unknown. Methods: This prospective...
Long-term safety of topical calcineurin inhibitors is not well understood. APPLES (A Prospective Pediatric Longitudinal Evaluation to Assess the Long-Term Safety Tacrolimus Ointment for Treatment Atopic Dermatitis; NCT00475605) examined incidence lymphoma and other cancers in a pediatric population with atopic dermatitis.To quantify incident malignancies during 10 years children dermatitis who used tacrolimus ≥6 weeks.Standardized ratios cancer events were analyzed relative sex-, age-,...
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors experience psychological distress often because of its treatment. However, no prior studies have evaluated the additional medical expenditures health care utilization associated with in AYA survivors.AYA a comparison matched group adults history were identified from 2011-2016 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data. multivariable regression models.AYA more likely to (11.5% 1757) than (5.8% 5227). The prevalence was found be high many years...
PURPOSE: We conducted a historic cohort study to test the hypothesis that, after adjustment for biologic factors, African-American (AA) children and Spanish surname (SS) with newly diagnosed B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia had lower survival than did comparable white children. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1981 1994, 4,061 white, 518 AA, 507 SS aged 1 20 years were treated on three successive Pediatric Oncology Group multicenter randomized clinical trials. RESULTS: AA patients more...
BACKGROUND After injuries, cancer is the leading cause of death in children younger than 15 years United States. Despite dramatic increases 5-year survival rates, more 100,000 person-years life are lost to childhood each year. The exact proportion pediatric patients who receive care at centers that utilize up-to-date therapeutic protocols [such as those affiliated with Childrens Cancer Group (CCG) or Pediatric Oncology (POG)] remains unknown. purpose this study was estimate and geographic...
To compare the use of alternative therapy (AT) in families children with cancer its those routine pediatric conditions.AT refers to healing practices such as therapeutic massage, acupuncture, and medicinal herbs that have become increasingly popular general public, but are not widely accepted by medical profession. Although studies investigated AT both healthy cancer, no comparison incidence between these two populations has been published. We hypothesized was used more frequently among...
An optimal platelet-count threshold for prophylactic platelet transfusion in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients has yet to be determined. Between July 1997 and December 1999, we performed the first prospective randomized clinical trial addressing this issue 159 HSCT who received a when morning count fell below 10,000/microL (10K) or 20,000/microL (20K) threshold. Subsequent transfusions were administered according predetermined algorithm. The number of therapeutic incidence...
PURPOSE: Isolated meningeal relapse in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) usually has been followed by bone marrow and limited survival. The purpose of this study was to prevent administering intensive therapy before delayed craniospinal radiation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighty-three patients ALL first remission an isolated CNS were treated systemic chemotherapy known enter into the CSF intrathecal for 6 months. Craniospinal irradiation (24 Gy cranial/15 spinal) then...
Abstract Background: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the association obesity and adipokines leptin, adiponectin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) with prostate cancer risk aggressiveness. Methods: One hundred twenty-five incident cases 125 age-matched controls were sampled from among participants in original San Antonio Center for Biomarkers Risk Prostate Cancer cohort study. odds ratios (OR) high-grade disease (Gleason sum >7) associated WHO categories body mass index (kg/m2)...
