Background: The purpose of this study was to examine associations between student engagement and student outcomes for online Master of Science in Nursing students using course analytics.
Method: A retrospective, correlational design was used to analyze the relationship between the admission grade point average (GPA), course analytics measuring course access, minutes, interactions, and submissions, as well as the output of course grade. Additional associations with age, gender, major, and geography were tested.
Results: Interactions and submissions had the highest impact on the course grade. Each additional increase in submissions resulted in an increase in course grade by 0.33% (p < .0001). Additionally, each 1-point increase in entry-level GPA was associated with an increase in course grade by 1.93% (p = .0289). Each 1-year increase in age demonstrated a course grade decrease of 0.17% (p < .0001).
Conclusion: The two factors that most affected grade were interactions and submissions. Course grade was associated with entry-level GPA, age, access, and minutes. [J Nurs Educ. 2019;58(4):207-213.].

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor that accounts for <1 % of head and neck malignancies, with an estimated involvement of the tongue at approximately 3 %.
Case Presentation: This report presents a case of a 42-year-old male with no significant history of tobacco or alcohol use, who developed a painless, progressively enlarging mass on the ventral surface of his tongue over the course of eight months. Initial surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis of ACC, which necessitated a right hemiglossectomy followed by radiotherapy to address potential residual disease.

: Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (AOs) are central nervous system (CNS) World Health Organization (WHO) grade 3 gliomas characterized by isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation (m)IDH and 1p/19q codeletion. AOs are typically treated with surgery and chemoradiation. However, chemoradiation can cause detrimental late neurocognitive morbidities and an accelerated disease course.
