Olanzapine (OLZ) containing regimens are approved in adults for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC), and the same has not been approved in the pediatric population. In order to generate data regarding the efficacy and safety of OLZ as an adjunct to the standard of care (SoC) for CINV in pediatric patients receiving HEC/MEC, the review authors performed this systematic review and meta-analysis. A systematic literature search was performed through the databases Cochrane Library, Pub Med, and clinicaltrials.

While surgery remains the mainstay of the treatment of all different histologies, for differentiated thyroid cancers, radioactive iodine also plays an important role in management. Once tumor becomes radio-iodine refractory, it needs systemic therapy.

However, approximately 50% of patients with CBF-AML remain incurable and their outcomes are also determined by the various co-occurring mutations. Though, FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3(FLT3) mutation in AML is associated with poor survival, the prevalence and prognostic significance of FLT3 mutations among CBF-AML is unknown.

Risk factors and prognosis of TA-TMA are not well defined. We retrospectively studied consecutive ASCT patients with AML, ALL, and CML from January 2008 to March 2019 to study the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of TMA.

The fractures available in silicate rock provide significant surface area for the precipitation of carbonates. The experiments were performed in a batch tubular reactor under diffusion-limited condition, with a special arrangement of a narrow tube filled with a 2800 g/L dunite slurry.

A series of batch dissolution experiments were carried out to check the influence of temperature (30-75 C), initial dunite concentration (0.5 and 20 g/L), and salinity (0-35 g/L NaCl) under fixed head space CO pressure (P[Formula: see text] = 1 barg) on dunite dissolution.
