The Relation Between Maternal Locus of Control And Coping Styles of Pediatric Leukemia Patients During Treatment
2020
The present study focuses on the relation between coping strategies of children with leukemia during treatment and locus of control of their mothers. In particular, the study aims to determine whether maternal locus of control can influence sick children’s coping styles, and if this relation can be used to predict maladjustments. The study analyzed a cohort of 60 pediatric leukemia patients undergoing treatment and a group formed by their mothers. The participants were recruited from two Pediatric Onco- Hematology Units in Italy. The Child Behavioral Style Scale (CBSS) was used to assess children’s coping strategies, whereas the Parental Health Locus of Control Scale (PHLCS) was employed to…
A New Algorithm and Panel Construction for Pediatric Leukemia Immunophenotyping Using 10-Color Flow Cytometry
2012
Abstract Abstract 4799 Background: Rapid identification and quantification of abnormal cell populations in minimal specimen are crucial for diagnosis and longitudinal minimal residual disease (MRD) testing of childhood leukemia. So far, most standard immunophenotypic analyses are performed using antibody panels with up to five-colors and require high cell numbers. For infant and pediatric specimen, high-level multicolor analyses is highly desirable to gather sufficient data for initial diagnostic and follow up monitoring of pathologic populations. Objective: In this study, we aimed to establish a newly defined pediatric multicolor flow cytometric panel algorithm with high reliability yet mi…
