Surveillance Recommendations for Children with Overgrowth Syndromes and Predisposition to Wilms Tumors and Hepatoblastoma

A number of genetic syndromes have been linked to increased risk for Wilms tumor (WT), hepatoblastoma (HB), and other embryonal tumors. Here, we outline these rare syndromes with at least a 1% risk to develop these tumors and recommend uniform tumor screening recommendations for North America. Specifically, for syndromes with increased risk for WT, we recommend renal ultrasounds every 3 months from birth (or the time of diagnosis) through the seventh birthday. For HB, we recommend screening with full abdominal ultrasound and alpha-fetoprotein serum measurements every 3 months from birth (or the time of diagnosis) through the fourth birthday. We recommend that when possible, these patients be evaluated and monitored by cancer predisposition specialists. At this time, these recommendations are not based on the differential risk between different genetic or epigenetic causes for each syndrome, which some European centers have implemented. This differentiated approach largely represents distinct practice environments between the United States and Europe, and these guidelines are designed to be a broad framework within which physicians and families can work together to implement specific screening. Further study is expected to lead to modifications of these recommendations.This study was supported by NCI K08 CA1939915, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer, and St. Baldrick's Foundation (to J.M.

An introductory electrochemical approach to studying hydrometallurgical reactions

Many hydrometallurgical processes are electrochemical phenomena. Although this fact is well known, electrochemical methods are under-utilized when studying these processes. One possible reason is the confusion surrounding the number of electrochemical techniques available. We present an insight into how one technique can be used to study a variety of hydrometallurgical processes. This article details how to perform experiments, interpret data, and recognize complications with results. Examples where this approach has been highly successful are presented
