An explorative study on proteomic analyses related to inflammation and pain in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Background: Our aim was attempting to find proteins involved in the pain process and correlating with pain but not degree of inflammation in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), using a proteomics panel.

Methods: A total of 87 plasma samples were collected from 51 children with JIA (51 at diagnosis in a higher disease activity state, 18 at follow-up in a lower disease activity state) and 18 healthy controls. Relative levels of 92 proteins related to a wide range of biological processes in inflammation were obtained using a proximity extension assay panel.

Inflammatory biomarkers after an exercise intervention in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors.

Cancer survivors show increased risk for non-communicable diseases and chronic low-grade inflammation characterizes the development of such diseases. We investigated inflammatory plasma protein profiles of survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in comparison to healthy controls and after an intervention with a home-based exercise program. Survivors of childhood ALL aged 16-30 years ( = 21) with a median age at diagnosis 4.

Childhood lymphoma treatment impacts educational outcomes: a registry study from Sweden.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore educational outcomes in individuals diagnosed with lymphoma in childhood concerning school grade year 9 and attendance in high school and post-compulsory education. Whether sex or age at diagnosis affected the assessed variables was also explored.

Methods: Data from 174 children born 1988-1996 and diagnosed with lymphoma before age 15 were matched with approximately five controls per patient.
