Impact of a Regional Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program in Guatemala.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe and assess the regional experience of a pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship program based in Guatemala.

Methods: The Unidad Nacional de Oncología Pediátrica (UNOP) in Guatemala City, Guatemala, is the only hospital in Central America dedicated exclusively to childhood and adolescent cancer.

The role of titanium surface topography on J774A.1 macrophage inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide production.

A role for monocyte/macrophage modulation of wound healing at endosseous implants is proposed. The modification of the endosseous implant surface topography can alter cell adhesion and resultant cell behavior. The aim of this study was to define the effect of increased cpTitanium surface topography on adherent J744A.
