ACVR1 mutations in DIPG: lessons learned from FOP.
Whole-genome sequencing studies have recently identified a quarter of cases of the rare childhood brainstem tumor diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma to harbor somatic mutations in ACVR1. This gene encodes the type I bone morphogenic protein receptor ALK2, with the residues affected identical to those that, when mutated in the germline, give rise to the congenital malformation syndrome fibrodyspla...
متن کاملDIPG in Children – What Can We Learn from the Past?
Brainstem tumors represent 10-15% of pediatric central nervous system tumors and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the most common brainstem tumor of childhood. DIPG is almost uniformly fatal and is the leading cause of brain tumor-related death in children. To date, radiation therapy (RT) is the only form of treatment that offers a transient benefit in DIPG. Chemotherapeutic strategie...
متن کاملFuture Clinical Trials in DIPG: Bringing Epigenetics to the Clinic
In spite of major recent advances in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) molecular characterization, this body of knowledge has not yet translated into better treatments. To date, more than 250 clinical trials evaluating radiotherapy along with conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy as well as newer biologic agents have failed to improve the dismal outcome when compared to palliative radiation...
متن کاملAcupuncture as part of multimodal analgesia after caesarean section.
The number of caesarean sections (CS) in comparison with spontaneous deliveries is growing in most industrial countries, which raises economic and medical questions. The pathophysiology of post-CS pain includes both somatic and visceral components, and may give rise to pain intensity of 7, using the Verbal Rating Scale 0–10. Despite a variety of analgesic options, the quality of post-CS pain co...
متن کاملUsing Weighted Distributions for Modeling Skewed, Multimodal and Truncated Data
When the observations reflect a multimodal, asymmetric or truncated construction or a combination of them, using usual unimodal and symmetric distributions leads to misleading results. Therefore, distributions with ability of modeling skewness, multimodality and truncation have been in the core of interest in statistical literature, always. There are different methods to contract ...
