Epidemiology and suggested mechanisms involved in pediatric chemotherapy induced neuropathy: Pediatric chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an early (often occurring within the first three months), potentially severe long-lasting and dose limiting adverse effect of treatment in

Desmoid Fibromatoses (DF) are locally aggressive lesions associated with substantial morbidity and potentially mortality, due to invasion of adjacent neurovascular structures and vital organs. They have no potential for metastasis. Histologically, they are characterised by mature fibroblasts within

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the presence of CD30-positive Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells in a background of inflammatory cells. The majority of patients with HL have a good outcome with first-line chemotherapy such as ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the percent of patients who achieve a complete response (CR) to single-agent pembrolizumab induction, among patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) using Lugano 2014 criteria., as measured at PET #2. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the safety and tolerability of

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) from enrollment for patients with non-bulky stage I and II Hodgkin lymphoma. II. To compare the PFS of patients who are PET positive versus PET negative following 2 cycles of doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin, vinblastine,

Many pediatric diseases including Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and neonatal Chronic Lung Disease (CLD) have been associated with dysregulation of the acute inflammatory response [1]. So it is with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

While the results of primary therapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma are generally excellent, between 10-20% of patients with advanced stage disease will not enter a complete remission (CR) and between 20-30% of patients will relapse after completion of treatment. Salvage chemotherapy followed by high dose

We sought to develop a regimen that might successfully suppress myofibroblastic proliferation in infants and children with progressive pulmonary vein stenosis. A number of factors need to be considered when proposing novel treatment options for patients with multivessel pulmonary vein stenosis.
