Infection in Teen With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Receiving Echinocandin Prophylaxis.

We report a case of a 15-year-old with refractory and relapsed AML and profound prolonged neutropenia who developed a disseminated invasive infection while on echinocandin prophylaxis for invasive fungal disease. Azole antifungal therapies, which are often used as prophylaxis, were initially avoided due to concerns for CYP drug interactions. Treatment with a combination of liposomal amphotericin B, voriconazole, and adjuvant granulocyte transfusions was successful as he awaited neutrophil recovery.

A case of neglect.

In 1875 William Andrew Johnson, who had been formerly enslaved by Andrew Johnson and who subsequently served as his valet after being emancipated, was present when the former president suffered his fatal stroke. William's description of his deficits, as told decades later to journalist Ernie Pyle, appears to represent one of the earliest known cases of asomatognosia. The limited description of the symptoms provides a backdrop for a discussion of the evolution of knowledge regarding disorders of body awareness.

Teaching Strategies During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Tailoring Virtual Learning for Public Health and Cancer Health Disparities Education.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted higher education institutions in the United States (US). Given the dangers of close social interaction in spreading COVID-19, colleges and universities closed their campuses to minimize and often restrict face-to-face instruction of any kind, including supplemental skill development training and experiential learning. In exchange, higher education institutions implemented online learning strategies to continue education for students, including in-person experiential field experiences.

Implementation of Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes for Symptom Monitoring in a Large Multisite Community Oncology Practice: Dancing the Texas Two-Step Through a Pandemic.

Purpose: Among patients receiving chemotherapy, symptom monitoring with electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) is associated with improved clinical outcomes, satisfaction, and compliance with therapy. Standard approaches for ePRO implementation are not established, warranting evaluation in community cancer practices. We present implementation findings of ePRO symptom monitoring across a large multisite community oncology practice network.
