Development of the pediatric neuro-oncology services assessment aid: An assessment tool for pediatric neuro-oncology service delivery capacity.

Background: To enhance the quality of care available for children with central nervous system (CNS) tumors across the world, a systematic evaluation of capacity is needed to identify gaps and prioritize interventions. To that end, we created the pediatric neuro-oncology (PNO) resource assessment aid (PANORAMA) tool.

Methods: The development of PANORAMA encompassed 3 phases: operationalization, consensus building, and piloting.

Vanishing Bile Duct Syndrome in Pediatric Hodgkin Lymphoma: First Statistical Analysis of All Published Cases in Children and a Case Report.

Hodgkin lymphoma with vanishing bile duct syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome and has never been studied in the pediatric population. The objectives of this study were to determine the clinical characteristics of this rare condition in children through a literature review, and a descriptive analysis of all published cases with the index case report. All reported cases fulfilling the inclusion criteria were found through a literature search, and analyzed in descriptive statistics.

Superior mediastinal syndrome in paediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: a case report.

Superior mediastinal syndrome secondary to an anterior mediastinal mass can be seen in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) of T-cell lineage. We report a 3-year-old child with B-cell ALL, who presented with the superior mediastinal syndrome. The CT scan chest showed a huge anterior mediastinal mass and the peripheral blood immunophenotyping showed B-cell ALL.

Acute leukaemia in children with Down syndrome in a low middle-income country.

Down syndrome (DS) is the commonest chromosomal disorder and is considered to be the most common syndrome associated with acute leukaemia. The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of acute leukaemia in children with DS in Pakistan. It was a retrospective, cohort study conducted over a 2-year period, and the data was analysed in SPSS 20.

The NMT Scalp EEG Dataset: An Open-Source Annotated Dataset of Healthy and Pathological EEG Recordings for Predictive Modeling.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is widely used for the diagnosis of neurological conditions like epilepsy, neurodegenerative illnesses and sleep related disorders. Proper interpretation of EEG recordings requires the expertise of trained neurologists, a resource which is scarce in the developing world. Neurologists spend a significant portion of their time sifting through EEG recordings looking for abnormalities.

T lymphoblastic lymphoma with BCR-ABL negative chronic myeloid leukaemia: a novel association.

Lymphoblastic lymphoma and chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) are two distinct neoplasms with different pathogenesis and clinical presentation. We hereby share a challenging case of a child presenting with fever, leucocytosis, generalised lymphadenopathy and massive splenomegaly. He was diagnosed as having novel association of concurrent T-lymphoblastic lymphoma diagnosed on cervical lymph node biopsy with BCR-ABL negative CML on bone marrow aspirate.
