Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in Childrenspa718
This document summarizes key points about acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children, including:
1) ALL is the most common childhood cancer. Survival rates have improved from less than 10% in the 1960s to over 90% currently due to effective chemotherapy regimens developed through large clinical trials.
2) Proper use of chemotherapy through randomized clinical trials testing different drug combinations, dosages, and timings has been key to improved outcomes. Studies have also tailored treatment intensity based on patient risk factors.
3) Monitoring of minimal residual disease allows further stratification of patients into risk groups to guide therapy. New drugs like imatinib have also improved survival for rare high-risk subtypes.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the lymphoid line of blood cells characterized by the proliferation of immature lymphocytes. It most commonly affects children aged 2-6 years and has a peak incidence in adults at around 35 years of age. The disease involves replacement of normal bone marrow by leukemic blasts. Treatment involves chemotherapy with regimens depending on risk stratification including induction, consolidation, CNS prophylaxis and maintenance phases. Prognosis depends on factors like age, white blood cell count, genetics and response to initial treatment.
Steve Petty wrote an article on March 10, 2015 about how to protect privileged domain accounts by limiting credentials exposure. The article discusses limiting who has access to privileged accounts and monitoring their usage to prevent misuse and unauthorized access to critical systems. It provides best practices for organizations to reduce vulnerabilities from overexposed administrative credentials.
Cybercriminals are using increasingly sophisticated techniques to threaten security, according to a 2015 report. The report found rises in malware variants, ransomware, and exploit kits that allow even novice criminals to launch attacks. As threats evolve, the report urges continued vigilance and strengthening of defenses to protect against cyberattacks.
Manual testing is still needed but automation testing is very beneficial. Steve Petty argues that while manual testing is necessary, automation testing catches more bugs and saves time. Automation allows testers to test more scenarios more quickly and frequently.
Steve Petty wrote an article on June 29, 2015 about securely transitioning organizations to the cloud in order to increase agility and reduce risk. The article discusses how moving to cloud services can provide benefits but also risks if not done securely. It focuses on how to properly plan and execute a cloud transition.
Windows 10 and Server 2016 include many new features and updates. The latest versions of Microsoft's operating systems were released in mid-2015 and focus on security, mobility, and management improvements to provide more flexible and powerful platforms.
