Abstract:

In 1787, a group of American refugee settlers in the western portion of Quebec, which would become the colony of Upper Canada in 1791, collectively petitioned the Governor General, Lord Dorchester, for schools. They insisted, in fact, on a relatively comprehensive network of schools funded directly through the government purse. Dorchester responded by appointing William Smith, the former Chief Justice of New York State with whom he had formed a political friendship during the American War of Independence, to head a special committee to report on the state of education throughout the entire pro

Abstract:

During the 19th century and through the 20th century, the role of the parliamentary upper house (especially, but not exclusively, within the Westminster system of government) changed in subtle, yet dramatic, ways. Among those changes was increasing deference to elected lower houses of parliament, a reduction in partisanship in its actions and legislative goals, the development and pursuit of greater specialization of interest and function, appeals to the public interest beyond the electoral mandate, and greater practical attention to technical overview and improvement of legislation and policy

However, US is known to be relatively insensitive for detection of VTE in the central upper venous system. Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) is a promising alternative as MRV can comprehensively image the central venous system, is minimally invasive and does not involv

Over 50% of CP-CML patients will achieve a deep molecular response (DMR) at some point during treatment with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI), where DMR is defined as BCR-ABL1 transcript levels lower than 1/10000 (or MR4). Treatment discontinuation (TD) in CP-CML patients with stable DMR is successful in approximately half of cases, with a relapse free survival (RFS) of 48-61% at 3 years. TD is considered safe, since MMR is achieved in almost all cases when TKI re-initiation is required. As such, treatment-free remission (TFR) is now usually attempted outside of clinical t

Abstract Background Survival rates for older pts with advanced HL (aged ≥60 yrs) were historically poor with doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD). Reasons may include decreased tolerance of therapy, increased toxicity (particularly with bleomycin), comorbidities, and disease biology. The pivotal phase 3 ECHELON-1 study demonstrated superior 2-yr modified progression-free survival (mPFS) with frontline brentuximab vedotin + doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (A+AVD) vs ABVD in pts with stage III/IV cHL (Connors JM et al, NEJM 2018).

Abstract Background: A new subcutaneous formulation of rituximab (RSC) has been developed which offers reduced treatment burden for patients compared to intravenous rituximab (RIV) as well as resource savings at the treatment facility. Additionally, availability of RSC would potentially allow patients to be treated primarily IV-free with orally administered partner therapies. The Phase 3 SABRINA study (NCT01200758) investigated induction RIV or RSC plus chemotherapy followed by maintenance RIV or RSC in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL).

The US03 study was designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the oral iron chelator, deferasirox, administered once-daily in pts with lower-risk MDS. 173 pts at 45 centers in the US and Canada enrolled in the 1-year core phase of the study and 83 pts participated in the 2-year extension phase.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Current treatments for Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) are not curative, and a standard of care does not exist. MYD88 L265P, a mutation identified in patients (pts) with WM, signals through interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), leading to the constitutive activation of the NF-κB pathway (Yang, 2013). Ibrutinib (ibr), an oral inhibitor of BTK, attenuates the interaction between MYD88 and BTK and blocks BTK-dependent downstream signaling, inducing apoptosis of WM cells (Treon, 2012).

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION Upper limb prostheses are commonly prescribed for people with upper limb absence (ULA) to restore function, cosmesis, and assist with activities of daily living. However, nearly one in five people with ULA chooses not to use a prosthesis1 and instead turns to alternative technology and adaptations, pointing to factors beyond prostheses that shape perceptions of ability and quality of life. We examined through interviews the lived experiences of people with ULA framed around their perceptions of ability, device use, and quality of life. Abstract PDF Link: https://jps.li

Therefore, strength testing on 3D-printed lower extremity sockets is one of the first steps that needs to be conducted to ensure patient safety. 3D-printed prosthetic sockets are becoming an alternati
