Compared to febrile neutropenia (FN), non-neutropenic fever (NNF) episodes in children with cancer have not been associated severe outcomes. Risk factors for outcomes FN and NNF from low-middle-income countries (LMIC) are incompletely described. A prospective, observational cohort study was conducted at a tertiary public referral hospital western Kenya. Inclusion criteria were age ≤14 years, diagnosis, hospitalized, >38.5°C or persistently >38°C. Neutropenia an absolute count (ANC) <500...
Background Approximately 20% of adults in the United States experience chronic pain. Integrative Medical Group Visit (IMGV) offers an innovative approach to pain management through training mindfulness, nutrition, and other mind-body techniques combined with peer support. To date, there are no studies on IMGV implementation, despite its promise as a feasible non-pharmacological intervention for management. In this study, we assessed feasibility implementing assessing effectiveness Methods...
Abstract Purpose: Overall survival for pediatric cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains at 30%, compared to 80% high-income part from limited access appropriate diagnostics. Genome sequencing-based diagnostics can provide comprehensive classification which leads more effective treatment selection. Our aim is understand barriers opportunities implementation of genomic sequencing LMICs contribute improved children with cancer. Methods: Across World Bank income regions,...
