Preoperative Cytopenia in Patients Affected by High‐Risk Neuroblastoma: Just a Matter of Platelets?

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In patients affected by high‐risk neuroblastoma (HR‐NB), complete macroscopic resection (CMR) is associated with better outcomes. These patients are often cytopenic due to intensive induction regimens. The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of preoperative cytopenia on surgical outcome in patients with HR‐NB ...

Mortality and factors associated with acute exacerbation after non-cardiac surgery in patients with interstitial pneumonia: a retrospective study [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology
Background Acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia (AE-IP) is associated with high mortality rates. Although the risk factors for AE-IP have been extensively studied, given the small sample sizes, only a few risk factors have been established.

Dehn surgery on knots in $S^3$ producing Nil Seifert fibred spaces [PDF]

, 2014
We prove that there are exactly $6$ Nil Seifert fibred spaces which can be obtained by Dehn surgeries on non-trefoil knots in $S^3$, with $\{60, 144, 156, 288, 300\}$ as the exact set of all such surgery slopes up to taking the mirror images of the knots.

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 ...

Association between preoperative anemia and postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: a retrospective observational study [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology
Background The association between preoperative anemia and postoperative delirium (POD) is unclear. We sought to evaluate the effect of preoperative anemia on the risk of POD in elderly patients after non-cardiac surgery.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Characterizing slopes for torus knots [PDF]

, 2012
A slope $\frac pq$ is called a characterizing slope for a given knot $K_0$ in $S^3$ if whenever the $\frac pq$-surgery on a knot $K$ in $S^3$ is homeomorphic to the $\frac pq$-surgery on $K_0$ via an orientation preserving homeomorphism, then $K=K_0$. In

PARP inhibitors elicit distinct transcriptional programs in homologous recombination competent castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PARP inhibitors are used to treat a small subset of prostate cancer patients. These studies reveal that PARP1 activity and expression are different between European American and African American prostate cancer tissue samples. Additionally, different PARP inhibitors cause unique and overlapping transcriptional changes, notably, p53 pathway upregulation.
