However, where the definition of under-reporting is less strict, as in the Irish database (EI:BMR) < 1.27), the quantitative effect on more...

Abstract:
Background: The current standard treatment for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma includes initial induction chemotherapy with a 21-day interval between induction treatments. We aimed to assess whether an intensive chemotherapy protocol that had a 10-day interval between treatments would improve event-free survival (EFS) in patients aged 1 year or over with high-risk neuroblastoma. more...

Abstract:
Irish families were characterized as being patriarchal, stem-extended, large, strong, and stable during the Twentieth Century. Studies during the 1930s and 1940s propagated this image worldwide. Consequently, Irish families were often considered an exception to the convergence of family patterns going on in Western nations. Available data are used to assess this characterization, chart more...

Partly in response to this trend, there are calls for greater emphasis on infant and child health in research and policy development on parental leave and other work-family balancing measures. Yet achieving high rates of breastfeeding as a health objective has thus more...
