Neurocognitive, School‐Based, and Quality of Life Outcomes for Youth With Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia: A Scoping Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The medical burdens of sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia (TDT) are chronic and cumulative, even in children. Yet the effects expand beyond medications and healthcare visits due to their impacts on school attendance, academic performance, and peer engagement.

Deep sleep slow wave–spindle coupling is selectively linked to plasma amyloid-β levels in older adults in clinical trials

Scientific Reports
Slow wave activity, the signature of deep/slow wave sleep, has consistently been linked to amyloid-beta (Aβ), a biomarker of neurodegeneration. Less is known about how Aβ relates to specific microstructural processes within slow wave sleep, such as the ...

Lorlatinib‐Containing Therapy for MYCN‐Amplified, ALK‐Mutated Neuroblastoma With Bulky Leptomeningeal Relapse: A Case Report

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) relapse of neuroblastoma carries a poor prognosis, and craniospinal irradiation (CSI) poses substantial long‐term toxicity in young children. We report a toddler with MYCN‐amplified neuroblastoma harboring somatic ALK R1275Q who developed extensive leptomeningeal relapse with paraplegia.

Uncovering Inequities: The Role of Social Determinants of Health in Hospitalized Adolescents and Young Adults With Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common condition among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and is the leading cause of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in this population. Growing evidence suggests that social determinants of health (SDOH) influence menstrual bleeding patterns, access to care, and treatment. However, no studies have
