Abstract
MDS patients may present with monocytic marrow proliferation not fulfilling criteria for CMML. We analyzed MDS patients with or without a marrow monocytic proliferation by following up the amount of monocytic proliferation and characterizing their molecular profile. 315 MDS patients of Duesseldorf MDS registry were divided into two groups: A) 183 patients with monocytic esterase positive cells in marrow and monocytes between 101 and 900/μl in blood and B) 132 patients without monocytic esterase positive cells in marrow and monocytes in blood ≤100/μl. Twenty patients of each group were screened with regard to ASXL1, TET2, RUNX1, SETBP1, NRAS, and SRSF2 using Illumina myeloid panel. Group A patients were older, had significantly higher WBC, hemoglobin levels, neutrophils and platelets. CMML evolution rates were 4.9% and 1.5%, respectively (p=n.s.). TET2, NRAS and SRFS2 mutation frequencies were higher in group A and four patients had coexisting TET2 and SRFS2 mutation, which was shown to be characteristic but not specific for CMML. MDS patients with marrow monocytic proliferation have a more CMML-like pheno- and genotype and develop CMML more often. Those patients could potentially be very early stages of CMML or represent a CMML-like myeloid neoplasma with marrow adherence of the monocytic cell population.

Early commencement of physical therapy in the acute phase following elective lower limb arthroplasty produces favorable outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis examining allied health service models. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2016; 24:1667-1681. [PMID: 27224276 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2016.05.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2015] [Revised: 04/26/2016] [Accepted: 05/02/2016] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporal and dose-response relationships between allied health (AH) and recovery in the acute phase following lower limb (LL) arthroplasty are unclear. This systematic review investigates whether early commencement, additional therapy and/or weekend AH affects length of stay (LOS) and patient outcomes in the acute phase following LL arthroplasty. METHODS Electronic databases were searched in February 2015. Studies were included if they evaluated any of the following aspects of AH for adults following LL arthroplasty in the acute phase: Early compared to later therapy commencement; Additional therapy; or a 6- or 7-day service compared to a lesser service. RESULTS Twenty-four studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 19 investigated effects of physical therapy (PT) alone. Earlier PT reduced LOS (WMD = -1.23 days; 95% CI, -2.16 to -0.30) and resulted in higher probability of discharge directly home (relative risk = 1.45; 95% CI, 1.26-1.67). Addition of weekend PT reduced LOS (WMD = -1.04 days; 95% CI, -1.66 to -0.41) and improved function (SMD = 0.37; 95% CI, 0.02-0.73). Increasing PT from once to twice daily did not affect LOS (WMD = -0.35 days; 95% CI, -0.96-0.26) or function (SMD = 0.31; 95% CI, -0.06-0.71). DISCUSSION Early PT commencement and a weekend service may produce favorable outcomes following LL arthroplasty when baseline LOS is 4 days or more. Redistributing PT resources to commence as early as day of surgery regardless of weekday may accelerate postoperative recovery. Current, high quality research is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myxoid liposarcoma (MLPS) has been reported to be more radiosensitive compared with other soft tissue sarcomas (STS). The use of preoperative hypofractionated radiotherapy 5 × 5 Gy for five consecutive days, and then immediate surgery in patients with locally advanced STS showed a good local control rate. The main objective of our work was to assess the efficacy of hypofractionated radiotherapy in preoperative setting in patients with locally advanced primary MLPS. METHODS From February 1999 to March 2014, 32 patients with primary MLPS were treated with preoperative hypofractionated radiotherapy for 5 consecutive days followed by immediate surgery (median dose 5 × 5 Gy). Median size of the tumor 10.5 cm. In one patient the tumor was located on the upper extremity, the other (31 patients) had their tumors located on the lower extremity. RESULTS In 90% patients histologically negative surgical margins (R0) were obtained. 34% patients had distant recurrence of the disease, local recurrence was found in 9.3% of the patients. 5-year local relapse-free survival rate was 90% and overall survival was 68%. In all analyzed surgical specimens the radiotherapy response features (hyalinization, fibrosis, paucicelularity, hemorrhages, dilatation of vessels) were detected. We have not found statistically significant differences in terms of OS and LRFS for RCC component, tumor grade, BCL2, TP53, postsurgery necrosis and tumor size. In postradiotherapy specimens significantly higher positivity of TP53 expression was detected as compared to primary biopsies. CONCLUSION Combined therapy with hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by immediate surgery seems to be effective therapy in MLPS demonstrating good local control and pathological response to therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital length of stay and discharge destination are important outcome measures in evaluating effectiveness and efficiency of health services. Although hospital administrative data are readily used as a data collection source in health services research, no research has assessed this data collection method against other commonly used methods. OBJECTIVE Determine if administrative data from electronic patient management programs are an effective data collection method for key hospital outcome measures when compared with alternative hospital data collection methods. METHOD Prospective observational study comparing the completeness of data capture and level of agreement between three data collection methods; manual data collection from ward-based sources, administrative data from an electronic patient management program (i.PM), and inpatient medical record review (gold standard) for hospital length of stay and discharge destination. RESULTS Manual data collection from ward-based sources captured only 376 (69%) of the 542 inpatient episodes captured from the hospital administrative electronic patient management program. Administrative data from the electronic patient management program had the highest levels of agreement with inpatient medical record review for both length of stay (93.4%) and discharge destination (91%) data. CONCLUSION This is the first paper to demonstrate differences between data collection methods for hospital length of stay and discharge destination. Administrative data from an electronic patient management program showed the highest level of completeness of capture and level of agreement with the gold standard of inpatient medical record review for both length of stay and discharge destination, and therefore may be an acceptable data collection method for these measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In adolescents aged 10-15 years germ cell tumors of the testis (TGCT) are rare and information for a risk adapted therapy limited. AIMS OF THE STUDY The protocol MAHO 98 for patients (pts) with TGCTs is stratified according to age, stage and histology. Pts ≥ 10 years received after tumororchiectomy 2 courses (crs) PVB and restaging. Residual tumor was resected and therapy continued in regard to inital stage and response. Chemotherapy: PVB: cisplatin (20 mg/m²/day 1-5), vinblastine (3 mg/m²/day 1+2), and bleomycin (15 U/m²/day 1-3). For consolidation 1 crs PVB has been given to stage II patients with CR. In case of PR, 2 crs PEB (vinblastine substituted by etoposide 100 mg/m²/day 1-3) or relapse 3 crs PEI (bleomycin substituted by ifosfamide 1 500 mg/m²/day 1-5) were given. RESULTS Between Jan 1998 and Dec 2005, 34 pts (≥ 10 year) were registered, 31 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Median age: 15;6 years; months (range 13;5-20;2 ). Lugano staging: IA n=14, IB n=2, IC n=3, IIA n=4, IIB n=6, IIC n=1, IIIC n=1. The stage IIIC pt received preoperative chemotherapy, all other pts had tumororchiectomy first. Residual tumor after 2 crs PVB was detected in 4 pts and was resected. Late relapses occurred in 2 pts and were cured by additional therapy. All patients are surviving. CONCLUSION Young patients with TGCT stage I and II have an excellent prognosis and further reduction of therapy has to be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of potential surrogate end points for overall survival, such as disease-free survival (DFS) or time-to-treatment failure (TTF) is increasingly common in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in cancer. However, the definition of time-to-event (TTE) end points is rarely precise and lacks uniformity across trials. End point definition can impact trial results by affecting estimation of treatment effect and statistical power. The DATECAN initiative (Definition for the Assessment of Time-to-event End points in CANcer trials) aims to provide recommendations for definitions of TTE end points. We report guidelines for RCT in sarcomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). METHODS We first carried out a literature review to identify TTE end points (primary or secondary) reported in publications of RCT. An international multidisciplinary panel of experts proposed recommendations for the definitions of these end points. Recommendations were developed through a validated consensus method formalizing the degree of agreement among experts. RESULTS Recommended guidelines for the definition of TTE end points commonly used in RCT for sarcomas and GIST are provided for adjuvant and metastatic settings, including DFS, TTF, time to progression and others. CONCLUSION Use of standardized definitions should facilitate comparison of trials' results, and improve the quality of trial design and reporting. These guidelines could be of particular interest to research scientists involved in the design, conduct, reporting or assessment of RCT such as investigators, statisticians, reviewers, editors or regulatory authorities.
