Abstract:
Introduction: Elevated red cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with mortality in a variety of respiratory conditions. Recent data also suggest that RDW is associated with mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Although respiratory failure is common in the ICU, the relationship between RDW and pulmonary outcomes in the ICU has not been previously explored. Therefore, our goal was to investigate the association of admission RDW with 30-day ventilator-free days (VFDs) in ICU patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis from an ongoing prospective, observational study

6510 Background: Physicians sometimes selectively convey prognostic information to support patients’ hopes. However, the relationship between prognostic disclosure and hope is not known. Methods: We surveyed 194 parents of children with cancer (overall response rate 70%) in their first year of cancer treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Children’s Hospital, Boston, Mass, and the children’s physicians. We evaluated relationships between parents’ recall of prognostic disclosure by the physician and the extent to which physician communications “always” made them feel hopeful. A five-

Abstract Between 1970 and 1989, 29 patients with intracranial ependymomas were evaluated and treated at the Children's Hospital in Boston. With a median follow-up of 82 months, the actuarial survival rates at 5 and 10 years were 61 ± 10% and 46 ± 12%, respectively. Anaplastic histological findings were uncommon (2 of 29). Initial postoperative radiotherapy was given to 25 patients, with a median tumor dose of 5360 cGy. With a median time to recurrence of 22 months, local failure (within 2 cm of original enhancing mass) was the predominant pattern of relapse (15 of 16 failures). The presence of

Abstract Background: Serum miRNAs have been proposed as potential biomarkers for the early detection of ovarian cancer (OC). The heterogenous histological subtypes of ovarian cancer show different morphologic and genetic alterations influencing outcome and survival.

Abstract Introduction Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign vascular tumor of childhood. It typically appears as a single cutaneous mass in the head, neck, and trunk area. IH that does not arise in the skin most commonly presents in the liver. The lesion emerges shortly after birth, rapidly enlarges within the first six months of life, and then spontaneously involutes by 5-10 years of age. Risk factors associated with IH complications include lesional size, location, and growth characteristics. Pulmonary IH is rare with limited reports of clinical presentations and outcomes. Meth
