BACKGROUND: In adult living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), the assessment of the graft functional reserve is very important. We evaluated the graft functional reserve by technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid-galactosyl-human serum ... Read more...
13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Vincristine (VCR) and actinomycin D (ACD) form the backbone of chemotherapeutic regimens of Wilms tumor treatment. Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a potentially life-threatening complication of ACD. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the ... Read more...
Pulmonary toxocariasis masquerading as metastatic tumor nodules in a child with osteosarcoma.
13 Dec 2009 A 14-year-old male, who completed chemotherapy following limb salvage surgery for osteosarcoma approximately 2 years ago, was seen for routine follow-up. A CT scan revealed new scattered multifocal nodular lesions. An ultrasonography-guided ... Read more...
