Medically Integrated Dispensing Pharmacy: ASCO-Network for Collaborative Oncology Development & Advancement Standards Update.

Purpose: To update standards for dispensing oral anticancer medications and supportive care medications using a medically integrated dispensing pharmacy (MIP).

Methods: A multidisciplinary expert panel of oncology professionals integral to MIP and a patient representative participated in updating the guidelines. The revised standards address patient-centered and operational interventions of MIP that improve the access, quality, safety, and outcomes of prescribed oral anticancer medications or other supportive care medications.

Innovative cost-effective method to repair lacrimal cannaliculi laceration - finding proximal end and stent.

To explore a new technique to find out the proximal end of lacerated canaliculi and a new material for the stent. Surgery was performed on 9 eyes of 9 patients using a 5/0 prolene suture needle as a modified probe. Prolene suture was inserted as a stent and left in place for two months.

Comparative study of visual outcome between open- and closed-globe injuries following surgical treatment of traumatic cataract in children.

Objective: To compare final visual outcomes of surgically treated traumatic cataract between open-globe and closed-globe injuries in children, as classified by the Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology system.

Methods: This is an observational cohort study with permission from Hospital Ethical Committee. We enrolled children meeting specific inclusion criteria, examined their eyes to review any co-morbidities due to trauma, performed surgery for traumatic cataracts, and implanted lenses.

Successful repair of injury to the eyelid, lacrimal passage, and extraocular muscle.

Introduction: Injury is a known cause of monocular blindness. Ocular trauma may affect lacrimal canaliculi and the extraocular muscle. We report this case as it includes injury to lid, lacrimal canaliculi and inferior rectus.

Origin of all three major coronary arteries from the right sinus of Valsalva: clinical, angiographic, and magnetic resonance imaging findings and incidence in a select referral population.

Objective: We sought to determine the incidence and imaging features by coronary angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of anomalies in which the right, circumflex, and left anterior descending coronary arteries arise separately from the right sinus of Valsalva.

Background: The anomalous origin of all major coronary arteries from separate ostia in the right sinus of Valsalva has been reported as exceedingly rare, with mainly isolated cases reported. A knowledge of the origin and proximal courses of aberrant arteries is critical for patient management.

Renoprotective effects of chronic candesartan treatment in uninephrectomized rat.

The authors recently observed an age-dependent reduction in the diuretic and natriuretic responses to plasma volume expansion in uninephrectomized control and glucose-intolerant rats. To determine the involvement of angiotensin II AT receptors in this phenomenon, the authors tested the hypothesis that chronic candesartan treatment preserves renal excretory function in the uninephrectomized rat. Control and glucose-intolerant rats underwent right nephrectomy at 4 weeks of age.
