Is continence status associated with quality of life in young children with spina bifida?
QOL may not be affected by continence status among young children with SB, though demographic (i.e., age) and condition-specific (i.e., functional mobility status) variables appear relevant. Additional research is needed to further evaluate condition-specific variables, other protective variables, and possible measurement issues that influence QOL in young children with SB.
If osteosarcomas arise from primitive stem cells, then treatment of osteosarcomas with exogenous differentiation agents may cause the stem cells to differentiate, thus halting their proliferation and stopping tumor growth.
