Cytotoxic chemotherapy is commonly used to treat advanced Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). However, its efficacy in distant metastatic MCC patients unclear, part because most prior reports aggregated these with those receiving adjuvant and combined chemoradiation for whom prognosis outcomes may differ. In this retrospective study, we analyzed detailed records from 62 treated cytotoxic chemotherapy. Efficacy including response rate (RR), durability of (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS),...
Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma ( MCC ) is an aggressive, polyomavirus‐associated cancer with limited therapeutic options for metastatic disease. Cytotoxic chemotherapy associated high response rates, but responses are seldom durable and toxicity considerable. Here, we report our experience palliative single‐fraction radiotherapy SFRT in patients . We conducted retrospective analyses of safety efficacy outcomes that received (8 Gy) to metastases between 2010 2013. Twenty‐six were treated 93...
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive, high‐grade, cutaneous neuroendocrine tumour (NET). Agents blocking programmed death 1/programmed ligand 1 have efficacy in metastatic MCC (mMCC), but half of patients do not derive durable benefit. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs) are commonly used to treat low‐ and moderate‐grade NETs that express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). To assess SSTR expression the SSAs mMCC, a high‐grade NET. Methods In this retrospective study 40 with was assessed...
Chronic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis are common conditions characterized by the inflammation of nasal sinus mucosa. While traditionally associated with symptoms such as congestion facial pain, recent research has shown that these disorders can also have a broader impact on vocal function. These usually managed intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) rinses or systemic corticosteroids. We present case 60-year-old man history chronic, recurrent in which traditional treatment caused dysphonia,...
9091 Background: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer with a high propensity to metastasize (> 30%). Distant metastatic MCC often treated using chemotherapy but its efficacy unclear because the existing literature: 1) intermingles adjuvant and therapeutic cases and, 2) includes combined chemo-radiation. Methods: To assess of on we performed retrospective analysis 62 patients in our cohort distant metastases evaluable for response alone.Tumor responses were characterized...
A 26 year old female presented for recurrent blood tinged sputum during the previous with development of frank hemoptysis three days prior to admission. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) was confirmed serial lavages. The patient had no history autoimmune disease, vascular thrombosis or pregnancy morbidity including miscarriages pre-eclampsia. High dose steroids were initiated along noninvasive ventilatory support. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed severe mitral regurgitation and a...
Accurate age estimates are essential for developing robust stock assessment models and sustainable harvest, conservation, management strategies. Here we use thermally marked hatchery-origin fish of known to validate scale whole otolith estimation techniques two stocks Chum one Sockeye salmon from Washington state. Scale ages Hood Canal summer-run were 95.7 % accurate (average percent error [APE] = 1.29 %) across 8 run years (RYs) Lower Columbia River fall-run 93.0 (APE 2.23 9 RYs. Cedar...
e20031 Background: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon and aggressive skin cancer with neuroendocrine features. Current therapeutic options for metastatic MCC are suboptimal. Somatostatin receptors (SSTR), usually expressed in most tumors (NETs), may represent a target tumors. However, there limited data on the characteristics of SSTR expression efficacy somatostatin analogues (SSA) MCC, high-grade NET. Methods: We performed retrospective analyses 45 patients (pts) who had undergone...
Abstract An improved understanding of the mechanisms influencing productivity fish populations is critical for accurately determining harvest rates and identifying years conservation concern. Here we reconstruct yearly scale growth three Puget Sound (PS) Chum Salmon Oncorhynchus keta stocks over 16 brood (1997–2012) to better understand how variation in marine may be related environmental factors, intra‐ interspecific competition, stock productivity. Generalized additive mixed models...
Abstract Volitional dispersal is a ubiquitous strategy characteristic of species across major faunal groups. Dispersal during the juvenile life stage interest because early performance can be critical for determining future success (survival/reproduction). For salmonids, influence local density, competition, individual growth and survival, though drivers at meso‐scales are rarely quantified. Here, we evaluate tagged steelhead ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) through habitat units in extended stream...
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by multiorgan system involvement. Hematologic manifestations are common in SLE and include thrombocytopenia as many 50% of patients. Thrombocytosis much less SLE, occurring than 5% patients, typically reported association with autosplenectomy. The following case report describes a 35-year-old female patient who presented for evaluation extreme thrombocytosis unclear etiology. was diagnosed reactive due to active which...
