A Reflective-Mode Phase-Variation Displacement Sensor

IEEE Access, 2020
In this paper, a displacement sensor based on an open-ended step-impedance transmission line is reported. The sensor operates in reflection, and the output variable is the phase of the reflection coefficient.

Bridging the Gap in Neuroblastoma Care: Consensus‐Based Statements With Recommendations for Improved Patient and Caregiver Experiences

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma's complex, heterogeneous biology poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, often requiring caregivers to absorb complex information and participate in time‐sensitive decisions. However, caregivers often feel unprepared to evaluate options.

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 ...

Genomic and Global Approaches to Unravelling How Hypermutable Sequences Influence Bacterial Pathogenesis

Pathogens, 2014
Rapid adaptation to fluctuations in the host milieu contributes to the host persistence and virulence of bacterial pathogens. Adaptation is frequently mediated by hypermutable sequences in bacterial pathogens.

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.

NeuO-mediated O-acetylation of uropathogenic Escherichia coli K1 capsule enhances resistance to phage and neutrophil killing

Journal of Bacteriology
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains that express the K1 capsule are associated with severe invasive disease, including pyelonephritis, urosepsis, and neonatal meningitis.

Inpatient Exposure, Confidence, and Knowledge in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology: Evaluating General Pediatric Residents During 2025 ACGME Curriculum Change

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background General pediatricians often evaluate hematologic and oncologic presentations before subspecialty consultation, yet the 2025 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) pediatric requirements reduce inpatient pediatric hematology/oncology (PHO) time, raising questions about resident readiness.

A phase-variable capsule facilitates Akkermansia muciniphila colonization of the intestinal mucus layer

mBio
Akkermansia muciniphila is a mucophilic commensal bacterium that significantly impacts metabolic and immune homeostasis. However, the bacterial factors involved in colonization of the gastrointestinal tract are not well understood.

Sociodemographic Factors Associated With Later Stage at Diagnosis of Pediatric Germ Cell Tumors: A Report From Children's Oncology Group Registries ACCRN07 and APEC14B1

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Germ cell tumors (GCTs) often arise in the ovaries and testes (extracranial) but can also develop in the brain (intracranial). We examined the relationship of individual, family, and community‐level socioeconomic status (SES) with stage of disease at diagnosis in a cohort of pediatric patients with GCT from Children's Oncology Group

Adaptation by Phase Variation in Pathogenic Bacteria

, 2003
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the transitions that are facilitated by the switching of phase-variable genes, thereby focusing on pathogenic bacteria. The ability to adapt to changing environments is essential for the survival, development, and evolution of bacterial species.
