Defining Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Perspectives From Oncology and Palliative Care Teams

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is associated with improved symptom management, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for children with cancer. Despite this, variation persists in how PPC is understood, operationalized, and integrated within pediatric oncology programs. In particular, ambiguity surrounding

Enhancing CAR T cell persistence through ICOS and 4-1BB costimulation.

JCI Insight, 2018
Successful tumor eradication by chimeric antigen receptor-expressing (CAR-expressing) T lymphocytes depends on CAR T cell persistence and effector function.

The Role of Invasive Procedures in the Treatment of Complicated Gastrointestinal Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease in Pediatric Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal graft‐versus‐host disease (GI GVHD) following hematopoietic stem cell transplant is typically managed with medical therapy, but surgery and angioembolization may be warranted in selected cases with life‐threatening complications.

On a system of $m$ difference equations having exponential terms

Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2015
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the positive solutions of a cyclic system of the following $m$ difference equations: \begin{align*} x^{(i)}_{n+1}&=a_ix_n^{(i+1)}+b_i x^{(i)}_{n-1}e^{{-x^{(i+1)}_n}},\qquad i=1,2,\ldots, m-1,\\ x^{(m)}_ ...

Computing Multidimensional Persistence

, 2010
The theory of multidimensional persistence captures the topology of a multifiltration -- a multiparameter family of increasing spaces. Multifiltrations arise naturally in the topological analysis of scientific data.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Species-specific host factors rather than virus-intrinsic virulence determine primate lentiviral pathogenicity

Nature Communications, 2018
In contrast to HIV, simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIV) do not cause disease in their hosts, and the reasons for this are unclear. Here, Joas et al.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in amnestically induced persistence

, 2007
We investigate a recently proposed non-Markovian random walk model characterized by loss of memories of the recent past and amnestically induced persistence.
