"This third volume of the Springer series discussing pediatric cancer focuses on diagnosing, treating, and assessing the future course of malignant brain neoplasms in children. In addition to a general introduction to the principals involved, the material includes vital research in molecular genetics, a major contribution to the molecular characterization of solid tumors, which will define new biomarkers of the disease and identify molecular pathways. The volume includes presentations of present and future therapies. The volume also explains AT/RT’s dissemination to the cerebral fluid, the molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of medulloblastoma, and the importance of gamma knife radiosurgery during multimodality management of medulloblastoma/PNET tumors. Other topics discussed include using magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosing retinoblastoma, and mapping the effects of radiotherapy in low-grade glioma in children. Information on alterations in cell-cycle regulators that are influenced by tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes is detailed. Contributors provide recommendations concerning non-narcotic analgesic routines for children recovering from cranial and spinal surgery. "

"Serous (peritoneal, pleural and pericardial) effusions are a frequently encountered clinical finding in everyday medical practice and one of the most common specimen types submitted for cytological evaluation. The correct diagnosis of effusions is critical for patient management, as well as for prognostication and yet many clinicians find diagnosis and treatment of cancer cells in effusions very challenging.Featuring multiple microscopic illustrations of all diagnostic entities and ancillary techniques (immunhistochemistry and molecular methods), this book provides a comprehensive, authoritative guide to all aspects of serous effusions, including etiology, morphology and ancillary diagnostic methods, as well as data related to therapeutic approaches and prognostication. Section one covers diagnosis for benign and malignant effusions including the etiological reasons for the accumulation of effusions that provides the reader with the full spectrum of differential diagnoses at this anatomic site. Section Two discusses biology, therapy and prognosis highlighting clinical approaches that may be of value to patients and the movement towards personalized medicine and targeted therapy."

"Provides an exceptional foundation of theory and practical tools that will serve as the basis of pediatric occupational therapy practice. This title focuses on frames of reference, which offer effective blueprints for applying theoretical information to help pediatric clients lead richer, fuller lives"

"The new edition of Kramer, Hinojosa, Howe/Frames of Reference for Pediatric Occupational Therapy will continue to provide that frame of reference blueprints for future and current Occupational Therapists who treat children. A frame of reference is an "accepted structure for organizing theoretical material and translating that into practice." The model provides a blueprint for taking the abstract concepts of OT theory (or theories) and elevating those ideas to actions that can be used in practice. This fourth edition continues to focus on the importance of occupation, and all of the frames of reference have been revised to include examples that relate to the importance of occupation and active involvement in a meaningful life. This edition includes three new frames of references, including the STAR frame of reference for working with children with sensory processing disorders, a frame of reference for working with children with anxiety and depression, and a strength-based frame of reference for working with adolescents with autism. A major thrust of this revision was the updating of material in all chapters. Content was overhauled to reflect changes in theory and practice. In addition, all frames of reference have a new section called Supporting Evidence that reflects the importance of research to practice. For this edition, we continued to use the language of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Incorporation of ICF language broadens the appeal of the book. This language resulted in an emphasis on the importance of the child's ability to participate in meaningful activities of life (occupations)"

"Anak sakit kritis terutama sepsis mengalami degradasi protein yang tinggi, yang memperburuk luaran bila masukan nutrisi tidak adekuat. Kiraan jumlah kebutuhan protein yang ada saat ini ternyata dalam praktiknya kurang dari 90 memenuhi target kebutuhan. Di lain sisi, variasi genetik individu juga memengaruhi luaran. Polimorfisme gen TNF?-308 berhubungan dengan luaran yang buruk berbagai penyakit infeksi dan inflamasi, walaupun hasil yang diperoleh berbeda-beda.Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan nutrisi tinggi protein terhadap prognosis pasien sepsis skor PELOD , lama rawat dan lama pemakaian ventilator, serta menganalisis peran pelbagai faktor yang berperan terhadap skor PELOD, termasuk polimorfisme gen TNF?-308.Penelitian ini merupakan uji klinis randomisasi pada 80 anak sepsis di 4 rumah sakit. Intervensi diberikan asam amino parenteral, yaitu Aminosteril infant 6 untuk usia < 1 tahun dan Aminofusin pediatric 5 untuk usia ge; 1 tahun. Kelompok eksperimental diberikan asam amino 4 g/KgBB/hari, sedangkan kelompok kontrol menerima 2 g/KgBB/hari selama tiga hari, kemudian dilakukan pencatatan skor PELOD pada hari ke-1,2 dan 3, lama hari rawat dan lama pemakaian ventilator. Dilakukan pemeriksaan keseimbangan nitrogen selama tiga hari, pemeriksaan kadar prealbumin hari ke-1 dan ke-3, pemeriksaan kadar TNF-? dan IL-10. Pemeriksaan polimorfisme dengan metode PCR polymerase chain reaction ndash; RFLP restriction fragment length polymorphism . Pada kelompok kontrol, diperoleh rerata skor PELOD pada hari ke-1 20,5 10,6 , hari ke-2 19,8 13,8 dan hari ke-3 19,8 15,4 ; median lama rawat 7 hari 3 ndash;19 dan median lama pemakaian ventilator 5 hari 1 ndash;14 .

Critically ill children, particularly with sepsis, have high protein degradation which worsens outcome if nutritional intake are inadequate. Currently, the estimated protein requirement is less than 90 target requirement. In addition, individual genetic variation also affects the outcome of these population. Tumor necrosis factor TNF 308 gene polymorphism is associated with poorer outcome of several infectious disease and inflammation, although the results are conflicting.This study aimed to determine the association between high protein nutrition intervention with prognosis of sepsis which is measured by PELOD score, length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation use. We also analyze the role of TNF 308 gene polymorphism which contribute to PELOD score.This was a randomized clinical trial in 80 children with sepsis in four hospitals. The interventions were parenteral amino acid, which includes Aminosteril infant 6 for subjects aged below one year and Aminofusin pediatric 5 for subjects aged above one year. Subjects in the experimental group were provided with amino acid 4 g KgBW day while those in the control group were provided with amino acid 2 g KgBW day for three consecutive days. PELOD scores in day 1, 2, 3, length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation use, were recorded. Nitrogen balance was measured for three days and prealbumin levels were measured in day 1 and 3. TNF and IL 10 levels were also measured. Polymorphism was measured using polymerase chain reaction PCR ndash restriction fragment length polymorphism RFLP .In the control group, the mean PELOD score on day 1, 2, 3 were 20.5 10.6 , 19.8 13.8 , and 19.8 15.4 , respectively. Median length of stay was 7 3 ndash 19 days and median duration of mechanical ventilation was 5 1 ndash 14 days. In the experimental group, obtained mean PELOD score was 22.4 10.8 20.5 13.9 18.8 14.5 consecutively median length of stay was 7 days 4 ndash 27 and median duration of ventilator use was 4 days 1 ndash 27 . There was no significant difference in PELOD score, length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation use between both groups. There was a significant difference in nitrogen balance on day 1, 2, and 3 p 0.003, p 0.016, and p 0.046, respectively . Of the 80 subjects, 6 7.5 subjects with TNF 308 G A gene polymorphism or heterozygotes, and no homozygote was found.Age, gender, nutritional status, provision of high protein nutrients, and TNF 308 gene polymorphism have no significant role in PELOD score.
