Bovine lactoferrin prevents invasive fungal infections in very low birth weight infants: a randomized controlled trial.

2011

Background: Lactoferrin is a mammalian milk glycoprotein involved in innate immunity. Recent data show that bovine lactoferrin (bLF) prevents late-onset sepsis in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of data from a multicenter randomized controlled trial where preterm VLBW neonates randomly received bLF (100 mg/day; group A1), bLF + Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (106 colony-forming units per day; group A2), or placebo (group B) for 6 weeks. Here we analyze the incidence rates of fungal colonization, invasive fungal infection (IFI), and rate of progression from colonization to infection in all groups. Results: This study included 472 neonates who…

Italian multicentricepidemiological case control strudy on risk factors for childhood leukemia,non hodgkin limphoma and neuroblastoma:study populatio…

2014

Background Aetiology of childhood leukaemia and childhood neoplasm is poorly understood. Information on the prevalence of risk factors in the childhood population is limited. SETIL is a population based case/control study on childhood leukaemia, conducted with two companion studies on non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and neuroblastoma. The study relies on questionnaire interviews and 50 Hz magnetic field (ELF-MF) indoor measurements. This paper discusses the SETIL study design and includes descriptive information. Methods The study was carried out in 14 Italian regions (78.3% of Italian population aged 0?10). It included leukaemia, NHL and neuroblastoma cases incident in 0?10 year olds in 1998-20…

Time trends of cancer incidence in European children (1978-1997): Report from the Automated Childhood Cancer Information System project.

2006

Within the framework of the Automated Childhood Cancer Information System (ACCIS), time trend analyses for childhood cancer were performed using data from 33 population-based cancer registries in 15 European countries for the period 1978-1997. The overall incidence rate based on 77,111 cases has increased significantly (P<0.0001), with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 1.1%. The rising trend was observed in all five geographical regions and in the majority of the disease groups (in order of AAPC): soft tissue sarcomas (1.8%), brain tumours, tumours of the sympathetic nervous system, germ-cell tumours, carcinomas, lymphomas, renal tumours, and leukaemias (0.6%). No change was see…
