Background: Fundic gland polyps allegedly increased in frequency in recent decades, and had attracted great attention due to possible association with prolonged proton pump inhibitor therapy. Prolonged use of this drug could cause parietal cell hyperplasia, obstruction of glandular lumen and cystic dilation of the gland.
Objective: This study aims to analyze clinical and pathological features of fundic gland polyps in patients with and without proton pump inhibitor therapy in a selected population from Brazil.
Objective: To characterize ocular manifestations (OM) of pediatric patients treating for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and to evaluate whether they are associated with well-described predictive risk factors for relapse, protocol (1999 or 2009), gender and cerebrospinal fluid infiltration.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in children and adolescents with ALL from January 2013 to December 2017. The patients underwent ophthalmologic evaluations before starting treatment (D0), on the eighth day (D8), at the 28th day (D28), and at six months (D6 months).
