Phase 2 study of concurrent radiotherapy and temozolomide followed by temozolomide and lomustine in the treatment of children with high-grade glioma: a report of the Children's Oncology Group ACNS0423 study

Abstract: Background The prognosis for children with malignant glioma is poor. This study was designed to determine whether lomustine and temozolomide following radiotherapy and concurrent temozolomide improves event-free survival (EFS) compared with historical controls with anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) or glioblastoma (GBM) and whether survival is influenced by the expression of O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT).

Health and mental health services for children in foster care: the central role of foster parents.

Abstract: It is well documented that children enter foster care with special health and mental health needs and, while in care, those conditions are often exacerbated However, less attention has been given to foster parents who have the most contact with these children Results are presented from a national study on the developmental, health and mental health care needs of children in foster care that included foster parents' perspectives and observations Their role in improving child well being is explained and recommendations for policy, practice and advocacy also are included

Highly unquenched orbital moment in textured Fe-phthalocyanine thin films

Abstract: X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measured at $T=6\text{ }\text{K}$ and ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{0}H=5\text{ }\text{T}$ on the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-phase Fe-phthalocyanine (FePc) textured thin films shows that the ${\text{Fe}}^{2+}$ ions present an unusually large, highly unquenched ${m}_{L}=0.53\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04\text{ }{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}$ orbital component, with planar anisotropy. The spin ${m}_{S}=0.64\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05\text{ }{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}$ and the intra-atomic magnetic dipolar ${m}_{T}$ components were also obtained. The ${m}_{L}/{m}_{S}=0.83$ ratio is the largest measured in $3d$ complexes and compounds. The origin of this unusually high orbital moment is the incompletely filled ${e}_{g}$ level lying close to the Fermi energy. This explains the unusually large and positive hyperfine field detected by M\"ossbauer spectroscopy in FePc. The FePc film strong planar anisotropy inferred from XMCD experiments is fully confirmed by magnetization measurements.
