Article Synopsis
- Pediatric Burkitt lymphoma (pBL) is a fast-growing cancer in children that requires timely diagnosis and treatment, with microRNAs (miRNAs) playing a critical role in understanding the disease's prognosis.
- The study utilized microRNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in both tumor tissues and plasma from pBL patients, highlighting their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
- The results showed that specific circulating and tissue miRNAs were significantly higher in pBL cases, opening avenues for improved diagnostic methods and survival predictions.
Aim/objections: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a central line maintenance bundle in preventing catheter-related (implanted venous access devices, port) Candida bloodstream infections.
Methods: The study encompassed two distinct time periods, namely, pre-bundle and bundle. The number of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) episodes per catheter days for each timeframe was determined.
Background: Central nervous system fungal infections (CNSFI) are seen in patients with hematologic malignancies and have high morbidity and mortality. Because of their rarity, there is limited data on CNSFI in children with no established treatment protocols or guidelines.
Materials And Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, 51 pediatric patients with leukemia, 6 of whom had undergone bone marrow transplantation, with proven or probable CNSFI were evaluated.
The number of studies evaluating teicoplanin lock therapy in coagulase-negative staphylococcus-associated catheter infection in pediatric malignancies is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of teicoplanin lock therapy in pediatric cancer cases. Twenty-two patients with coagulase-negative staphylococcus-associated totally implantable venous access device infection, who had undergone teicoplanin closure treatment, were included in the study.
