Biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid and neurodegeneration in Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
13 Dec 2009 
BACKGROUND: Progressive neurodegeneration may result in potentially severe cognitive and motor dysfunctions as a complication of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a suggested IL-17A-associated inflammatory condition. To detect this complication ... Read more...
Natural history and outcome of optic pathway gliomas in children.
13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: The optimal management of optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) is complicated by their variable natural history, the association with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and difficulties in defining progression and response to treatment. METHODS: ... Read more...
Prognostic value of proangiogenic cytokines in children with lymphomas.
13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis and proangiogenic cytokines are involved in neoplastic development. The role of these processes in lymphoma formation has not been established. The aim of the study was to assess angiogenesis on the basis of serum levels of ... Read more...
