Rooting Gene Trees without Outgroups: EP Rooting

Gene sequences are routinely used to determine the topologies of unrooted phylogenetic trees, but many of the most important questions in evolution require knowing both the topologies and the roots of trees. However, general algorithms for calculating rooted trees from gene and genomic sequences in the absence of gene paralogs are few. Using the principles of evolutionary parsimony (EP) (Lake J...

secondary all after successful treatment of ewing's sarcoma: a case report

treatment with intensification of chemotherapy using alkylating agents and topoisomerase ii inhibitors and radiotherapy has improved the outcome of patients with solid tumors such as ewing’s sarcoma. however, there are several reports of secondary malignancy following treatment of these tumors. in this article, we describe a 12 years old girl with all who had ewing’s sarcoma when she was 8 year...

Successful continuous treatment with all-trans retinoic acid for acute promyelocytic leukemia; secondary malignancy after the treatment of osteosarcoma.

We report a rare case of complete remission for 32 months with continuous treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) alone in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia which developed as a second malignancy after the treatment of osteosarcoma after failure of conventional chemotherapy. The adverse effects of ATRA were apparently tolerable.
