Background: Pediatric malignancies are extremely heterogeneous yet account for only approximately 1% of all tumor diagnosis. These entities important to recognize because their clinical features non-specific and may mimic common disorders childhood .Pediatric solid malignant tumors clinico-biologically distinct. They more aggressive but usually respond satisfactorily chemotherapy. The advanced ...

BACKGROUND Ovarian tumors have generally been considered rare in the pediatric age group. We reported our experience dealing with pediatric ovarian tumors during an 8-year period. METHODS Between January 1998 and December 2006, 37 girls with ovarian tumors were treated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Chang Gung Childrenfs Medical Center. Modes of clinical presentation, pathology diagn...

increasing the nutritional value of bread is important since the enriched product can be used for special target groups such as developing countries or special diets. wheat germ, a highly nutritive part of wheat kernel, is a by-product of milling factories and has the potential to be used for food supplementation. the main aim of this research was to supplement flat bread (barbari) with wheat g...
