Prospective controlled study including pediatric patients (≤14 years of age) with a recent diagnosis of IgE- or non-IgE-mediated CMA, confirmed by positive oral food challenge or anaphylaxis in the 2 months prior to enrollment and under good clinical control. Children with concomitant chronic
In murine and human xenograft tumor models, administration of PS-341 weekly was associated with significant antitumor activity. In primate studies using a schedule of twice weekly for six weeks, the highest PS-341 dose not associated with severe irreversible toxicity was 0.067 mg/kg/dose or 0.80
Study Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to determine the risks and benefits of antibiotic treatment for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) among patients whose stool samples are nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) positive and enzyme immunoassay (EIA) negative for C.

Introduction Tumor treating fields (TTFields) are low-intensity (1-3 v/m) intermediate frequency (200 khz for GBM) alternating fields that disrupt cell division. The treatment is increasingly used as a supplementary modality for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Recent randomized clinical studies
Hypothesis: In children with IBD, high scores for a sleep disturbance screener will be positively associated with IBD relapse

Project Summary:
Clostridium Difficile (c. diff) is a bacteria which causes much morbidity and mortality worldwide. It does so by causing diarrhea and abdominal pain. It can be mild and self-limited, to severe and lethal, even in developed countries. It can require removal of the colon to try to
DIAGNOSTIC DISCREPANCY
According to WHO experts, WHZ and MUAC can be used independently to indicate severe acute malnutrition (WH. There is however a significant and sometimes huge discrepancy between these two criteria: they do not usually identify the same children as acutely malnourished;
