Article Abstract
This study examined the extent to which health care workers' attitudes toward fun influenced their level of experienced fun and job satisfaction. We also examined their perceptions of whether 40 workplace activities were fun or not fun. Our results showed that, in general, our sample expressed positive attitudes regarding the appropriateness, salience, and consequences of having fun at work. In addition, those who reported experiencing greater levels of workplace fun had significantly higher job satisfaction. Implications for health care institutions are discussed.

Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) are a widely heterogenous group of myeloid malignancies characterized by morphologic dysplasia, a defective hematopoiesis, and recurrent genetic abnormalities. The original and revised International Prognostic Scoring Systems (IPSS) have been used to risk-stratify patients with MDS to guide treatment strategies. In higher-risk MDS, the therapeutic approach is geared toward delaying leukemic transformation and prolonging survival.

The covalent BTKi ibrutinib, acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib bind to BTK C481 and are all susceptible to the C481S mutation. Non-covalent BTKi including pirtobrutinib overcome C481S resistance but are associated with multiple variant (non-C481) BTK mutations, including those associated with resistance to acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib (T474 codon and L528W mutations).
