Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survival in Western Kenya: Reduction in Early Deaths and Treatment Abandonment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background An earlier study on children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Kenya reported a low event‐free survival (EFS), excess treatment abandonment, and high induction mortality.

Volumetric Method of Moments and Conceptual Multilevel Building Blocks for Nanotopologies

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2012
On the basis of the relationship between charge dimensionality and singular field behavior, it is proven that in a volumetric description of a volume current carrying topology, half rooftops of different binary hierarchical level are allowed without ...

Admixture Mapping Reveals Candidate Regions for Methotrexate Neurotoxicity Susceptibility: A Reducing Disparities in Acute Leukemia Consortium Report

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neurotoxicity is a rare, often dose‐limiting adverse effect of methotrexate (MTX) therapy that disproportionally affects Latino children. Factors contributing to the observed disparity are not well understood. This study leveraged admixture mapping to identify genetic regions associated with MTX‐related neurotoxicity susceptibility ...

Ion-Beam-Synthesized Colloidal Silver Nanoclusters in Crystalline Sapphire as Third-Order Optical Material

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2012
Silver ion implantation in single-crystalline sapphire has given rise to the formation of silver nanoparticle-sapphire composites, which have been imaged using transmission electron microscopy, and confirmed using linear optical absorption and Rutherford

Impact of Metastatic Patterns on Survival and Response to Therapy in Neuroblastoma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While the presence of metastases in neuroblastoma (NB) is a well‐established prognostic factor, the clinical significance of dissemination patterns and tumour burden and their impact on response and survival remains poorly understood.

Photonic Crystal Fiber Strain Sensor Based on Modified Mach–Zehnder Interferometer

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2012
In this paper, a novel strain sensor is proposed and demonstrated by employing a modified photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based Mach–Zehnder interferometer, in which a collapsed region is introduced at the middle point of the PCF to improve the ...

Phase Angle as an Early Functional Biomarker of Cancer‐Related Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low‐and middle‐income countries. Cancer treatment may impair nutritional status, alter body composition, and exacerbate cancer‐related fatigue (CRF).

Administering Blinatumomab via Continuous Intravenous Infusion in Pediatric Patients—A Single‐Institution Retrospective Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blinatumomab, a CD19xCD3 bispecific T‐cell engager, has become standard therapy for children with de novo B‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B‐ALL). This retrospective review describes the experience of blinatumomab administration in pediatric patients.
