Assessment of gastric emptying in children: Establishment of control values utilizing a standardized vegetarian meal.

Background And Aim: Disorders of gastric emptying constitute an important group of conditions in children. The diagnostic gold standard is scintigraphy, and recommendations for standardization have been published with adult normative data. Pediatric literature lacks standardized age specific normative values.

Effects of low-dose capecitabine on Samarium-153-EDTMP therapy for painful bone metastases.

Introduction: Samarium-153 (Sm-153)-EDTMP is routinely used for pain palliation in skeletal metastasis, however most patients report partial response. Many strategies have been contemplated to make radiation therapy for pain more effective, one of them being the use of radiosensitizers. Capecitabine is a chemotherapeutic drug and is routinely combined with external beam radiation to make the target more radio-sensitive.
