Background: Cognitive dysfunction may be one of the hazardous late effects among survivors of pediatric hematological malignancies. Our study aimed to explore cognitive performance and assess the global and regional brain volume changes in survivors of hematological malignancies.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 68 survivors of hematological malignancies, with a median follow-up period of 2 years (ranging from 1 to 6.
Article Synopsis
- Wilms tumor (WT) survival rates vary significantly, highlighting the need for research into prognostic factors impacting outcomes for patients diagnosed with the disease.
- This study analyzed clinicopathological data from the SEERStat Database, involving 2,273 WT patients, using advanced statistical methods to assess survival trends over time.
- Results showed a high five-year survival rate of 93.6% and identified key factors influencing survival, including age at diagnosis and disease spread, with younger patients exhibiting better outcomes compared to older patients.
Mapping the Grounds for Mortalities in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Through Registry Analyses: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults Patients.
J Clin Med Res
June 2024
Background: Our objective was to identify non-malignant factors that contribute to mortality in children, adolescents and young adults, aiming to improve patient follow-up and reduce mortality rates to achieve better survival outcomes.
Methods: We analyzed 8,239 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases diagnosed between 2000 and 2019 in the USA. Using version 8.
Article Synopsis
- Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) when combined with levobupivacaine improves postoperative pain management in pediatric cancer patients undergoing abdominal surgery via ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (US-TAP) block.
- A study conducted involved 40 pediatric patients, comparing the pain relief effects and safety of US-TAP block with and without MgSO4.
- Results showed that the group receiving MgSO4 reported significantly lower pain scores and delayed first analgesic requests, indicating more effective pain relief, with no major adverse effects observed between the groups.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children, characterized by age-inappropriate features of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity or both. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and socio demographic correlates of ADHD symptoms in general basic schoolchildren. A cross-sectional study conducted in Khartoum North.

We evaluated FF cytokines in women who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and their association with fertilized oocytes, embryo quality and pregnancy outcome. FF belonging to 38 patients including 18 polycystic ovary (PCO) and 20 male/unexplained infertility patients were investigated for granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and presumably secreted (RANTES), tumour necrosis factor (TNFα), interferon gamma (IFNγ) and interleukins (IL-4 and IL-2) by bead-based sandwich immunoassay.
