Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess parental perceptions of the current state of care for children with diabetes in the Alabama public school system, identify existing disparities, and determine what resources would most improve diabetes management in this setting. There is a significant need for such information because of the paucity of published data on the current state of diabetes care in Alabama public schools.
Methods: We based our survey on the American Diabetes Association guidelines and collected responses on the Internet via SurveyMonkey and by paper surveys.
Purpose: To report an unusual presentation of high altitude-like retinopathy at recreational altitude after chemotherapy-induced anemia and thrombocytopenia.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 43-year-old man undergoing chemotherapy for testicular cancer traveled to an altitude of 2,930 m and subsequently developed significant visual deficit in his right eye and was later diagnosed with bilateral severe high altitude-like retinopathy pathology with associated retinal hemorrhages.
