    UNHCR data1 shows that we are currently witnessing the highest levels of displacement on record, with 68.5 million forcibly displaced people worldwide and 44,400 people forced to flee their homes each day because of conflict and persecution. Many of these people are internally displaced and are living in IDP camps in their countries of origin, others have travelled to neighbouring countries, and others still have journeyed to Europe. Among them is a rising number of women and girls, who are not only exposed to various forms of sexual and gender-based violence in their homelands, but also along the way and upon arrival in Europe. Their experiences of violence differ in many ways from those of local women; accordingly, the support offered by services in the host country should be tailored to the specific needs of this target group.Project reference CAPTIVE/Just/2015/ RDAP/AG/VICT/9243 C.A.P.T.I.V.E.

    The p(T)-differential production cross section of electrons from semileptonic decays of heavy-flavor hadrons has been measured at midrapidity in proton-proton collisions at root s = 2.76 TeV in the transverse momentum range 0.5 < p(T) < 12 GeV/c with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The analysis was performed using minimum bias events and events triggered by the electromagnetic calorimeter. Predictions from perturbative QCD calculations agree with the data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties

    Acute promyelocytic leukemia associated with the PLZF-RARA fusion gene: two additional cases with clinical and laboratorial peculiar presentations

    No full text
    Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the presence of the t(15;17) and PML-RARa rearrangement, with good response to treatment with retinoids. However, few cases of variant APL involving alternative chromosomal aberrations have been reported, including t(11;17)(q23;q21) (Wells et al. in Nat Genet 17:109-113, 1; Arnould et al. in Hum Mol Genet 8:1741-1749, 2) t(5;17)(q35;q12-21), t(11;17)(q13;q21) (Grimwade et al in Blood 96:1297-1308, 3) and der(17) (Rego et al. in Blood (ASH Annual Meeting Abstracts)114:Abstract 6, 4), whereby RARa is fused to the PLZF, NPM, NuMA, and STAT5b genes, respectively, have been described. These cases are characterized by distinct morphology, clinical presentation, and in respect to PLZF, a lack of differentiation response to retinoids leading to the need of different approaches concerning diagnostic methods and therapeutics. This paper describes two cases of APL associated with the PLZF-RARA fusion gene enrolled in the IC-APL trial that is a non-randomized, multicenter study conducted in Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Uruguay with the aim to improve the treatment outcome of APL patients in developing countries. These cases, although rare, offer a challenge to its early recognition and proper conduction.Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Disciplina Hematol & Hemoterapia, UNIFESP, Escola Paulista Med, BR-04023900 São Paulo, BrazilUniv São Paulo, Fac Med Ribeirao Preto, Dept Hematol, Ribeirao Preto, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Disciplina Hematol & Hemoterapia, UNIFESP, Escola Paulista Med, BR-04023900 São Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc

    33 countries of origin’ profiles - C.A.P.T.I.V.E. Cultural Agent Promoting & Targeting Interventions vs Violence & Enslavement

    33 Countries of Origin pertaining to violence and enslavement are depicted in this publication. Gender-based violence (GBV) is a tragic reality for many women and girls across the globe. Women who are migrants or refugees are among the most vulnerable, with up to 7 out of every 10 migrant women reporting a lifetime experience of GBV. A portion of these women will be fleeing conflict-related sexual violence or may be seeking a life removed from where domestic and/or sexual violence, harassment and other harmful practices such as forced marriage and female genital mutilation, are normalised. However, sadly women and girls continue to be at risk of a range of GBV, like sexual assault, forced prostitution and trafficking, on their migration journey. In their host countries, a whole new set of challenges arise for women and girls related to their immigration status, cultural and linguistic diversity and economic disadvantage.Project reference CAPTIVE/Just/2015/ RDAP/AG/VICT/9243 C.A.P.T.I.V.E.
