Classical Complement Pathway Inhibition in a Pediatric Patient With Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric refractory immune thrombocytopenia (rITP) is generally characterized by persistent thrombocytopenia and failure to achieve a sustained response to multiple standard therapies. We report a 4‐year‐old female with congenital tufting enteropathy, post‐intestinal transplant patient on immunosuppressants, who developed severe rITP ...

Molecular Detection of Codon 12 K-RAS Mutations in Circulating DNA from Serum of Colorectal Cancer Patients

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2000
Point mutations of the K-RAS gene at codon 12 are found in about 40% of cases with colorectal cancer. The diagnostic implications of the detection of these mutations and their clinical utility are still unclear. The aim of this study was to test both the

Evidence‐Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pediatric Febrile Neutropenia: Resource‐Sensitive Recommendations for the Asian Continent

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a frequent and serious complication in children receiving cancer therapy. Standardizing FN management across Asia is challenging due to variable healthcare infrastructure, diagnostic capacity, and infection patterns; however, it could improve resource use and patient outcomes.
