In the era of precision medicine, mounting evidence suggests that the time of therapy administration, or chronotherapy, has a great impact on treatment outcomes. Chronotherapy involves planning treatment timing by considering circadian rhythms, which are 24 h oscillations in behavior and physiology driven by synchronized molecular clocks throughout the body. The value of chronotherapy in cancer treatment is currently under investigation, notably in the effects of treatment timing on efficacy and side effects.

Hyaluronidase-facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (fSCIG) 10% offers potential improvements in patient independence and tolerability versus intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) when used for the treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). fSCIG 10% also requires less frequent infusions and fewer infusion sites than conventional subcutaneous immunoglobulin (subcutaneous immunoglobulin without hyaluronidase). The ADVANCE-CIDP 1 study demonstrated fSCIG 10% efficacy and safety in preventing CIDP relapse and positive responses from patients in terms of satisfaction and treatment preference.

Introduction: Worldwide, 23% of adults suffer from chronic lower back pain, which is defined as pain persisting for more than 3-6 months [Merskey in Can J Psychiatry 34:329-336, 1989]. The lifetime prevalence of back pain is as high as 84% in adults [Casiano VE, Sarwan G, Dydyk AM, et al. Back Pain.

Introduction: Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a lethal emergency. However, even with instant surgical repair, early mortality is up to 20%. ATAAD complicated by coronary artery involvement is considered rare but life-threatening because this can cause coronary artery malperfusion which results in acute myocardial infarction.

Purpose: Infusions of high-dose methotrexate at 5 g/m over 24 (HDMTX) as a single infusion for pediatric patients with high-risk precursor B-cell ALL are known to lead to superior outcomes. The Hospital Nacional de Niños Dr Carlos Sáenz Herrera, part of the public system Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social in Costa Rica (HNN), has been historically unable to provide this therapy secondary to the required intensive monitoring and cost-prohibitive toxicity support.
Methods: We report our experience providing HDMTX at HNN, to our knowledge, for the first time using an algorithm-based individualized HDMTX protocol designed to prevent toxic levels of methotrexate.
