TL;DR: It is concluded that loss of caspase-8 gene expression is common in PNET/medulloblastoma suggesting that suppression of death receptor induced apoptosis may play an important role in the pathogenesis of this common childhood brain tumour.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Development of a pan-European definition of CAM use and CAM therapies are required to achieve surveys comparable between European countries, and more research investigating the efficacy and potential adverse effects of CAM therapies is needed because of increasing CAM use by children in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of complementary and alternative medicine by patients presenting to a Paediatric Emergency Department.
TL;DR: A cross-sectional survey of paediatric patients presenting to an urban, tertiary paediatric Emergency Department between October 2006 and March 2007 finds that parents of CAM-users were significantly older, more often born in Switzerland and had significantly higher school education than those of the non-users.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eveline Grunder,Rocco D’Ambrosio,Giulio Fiaschetti,Lucia Abela,Alexandre Arcaro,Tycho Jan Zuzak,Hiroko Ohgaki,Sheng-Qing Lv,Sheng-Qing Lv,Tarek Shalaby,Michael A. Grotzer +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of microRNA-21 expression level and role of miR-21 in leptomeningeal dissemination in Medulloblastoma (MB) cells was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attitudes towards vaccination: users of complementary and alternative medicine versus non-users
TL;DR: Refusal to follow the basic vaccination schemata was more frequent among CAM-users than non-users and reflected in most cases parental wishes rather than physicians' recommendations.
