Cerebrospinal Fluid Liquid Biopsy Enables Targeted Therapy Without Tissue Diagnosis in Pediatric Low‐Grade Gliomas With BRAF V600E Mutation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present two pediatric cases of pediatric low‐grade gliomas (PLGG) with BRAF V600E mutations diagnosed and monitored using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) liquid biopsy analyzed via digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), without tissue biopsy. Both patients were treated with dabrafenib and trametinib and monitored through clinical assessments, magnetic ...

Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

Fragility Curves for Material Characteristics and Damage Index for Brick Masonry Exposed to Freeze–Thaw Action

Applied Sciences, 2021
In regions exposed to floods followed by cold weather, brick masonry as a structural basis of the building envelope can be damaged due to the accompanying phenomenon of freezing and thawing.

Prolonged Corrected QT Interval as an Early Electrocardiographic Marker of Cyclophosphamide‐Induced Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cyclophosphamide (CY) is associated with potentially fatal cardiotoxicity, yet no electrocardiographic indices have been established for early detection of CY‐induced cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to determine whether corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation can predict early onset of CY‐related cardiac dysfunction in pediatric ...

Damage detection of flexural structural systems using damage index method – Experimental approach

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2015
In the framework of structural health monitoring, continuous dynamic records are essential for good judgment of structures. Overall degradation of structures can be obtained with reasonable accuracy using various system identification techniques. It is however, challenging to obtain precisely the position and size of local damages. The current research

Intracellular calcium as an index of neurotoxic damage [PDF]

Toxicology, 1988
The availability of techniques that allow the quantitation of levels of ionized calcium within intact cells and synaptosomes, allows a new approach to understanding the events underlying neurotoxicity. By use of various pharmacological agents, it is possible to dissect out vulnerable loci within the cell that account for the increases in cytosolic ...

Patient‐Level Barriers and Facilitators to Inpatient Physical Therapy in Adolescents and Young Adults With a Hematological Malignancy: A Qualitative Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite their increased risk for functional impairment resulting from cancer and its treatments, few adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with a hematological malignancy receive the recommended or therapeutic dose of exercise per week during inpatient hospitalizations.

Rhythm in the speech of a person with right hemisphere damage: Applying the pairwise variability index [PDF]

, 2007
Although several aspects of prosody have been studied in speakers with right hemisphere damage (RHD), rhythm remains largely uninvestigated. This study compares the rhythm of an Australian English speaker with right hemisphere damage (due to a stroke ...
