EFFECTS OF CORTICOSTEROIDS ON IMMUNOTHERAPY RESPONSE IN LATE-STAGE MELANOMA PATIENTS
SHM Converge 2022
Background: In 2020, melanoma exhibited the 5th highest incidence rate of all cancers in the US. While metastatic melanoma constitutes only 4% of new melanoma cases, the 5-year survival rate of metastatic melanoma is 27% [1]. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) were the first drugs to significantly improve the 5-year survival of late-stage melanoma patients; these […]

ROUTINE CATHETER LOCK SOLUTIONS IN PEDIATRIC CANCER CARE: A PILOT RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF NORMAL VS HEPARINIZED SALINE
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Long-term central venous access devices (CVADs) are integral to cancer care provision. Despite the high prevalence of CVAD occlusion in children with cancer, strategies to prevent occlusive events are understudied. We aimed to test the safety and feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing heparinised saline, with normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) […]

A “RASH” DECISION: DIAGNOSING ACRAL ERYTHEMA CAUSED BY PEMBROLIZUMAB
SHM Converge 2022
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old woman with a history of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs and plaque psoriasis presented with subacute pruritic and painful descaling lesions of the skin after pembrolizumab maintenance therapy (Figure 1.A). The lesions on the skin were erythematous and desquamating, worse in the upper extremities, lower extremities, abdomen, and trunk. […]

INCREASING USE OF METERED-DOSE INHALERS FOR PRIMARY INPATIENT BRONCHODILATOR THERAPY: A SINGLE-CENTER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IN THE COVID-19 ERA
SHM Converge 2022
Background: The use of metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) with spacers for delivering bronchodilator therapy is established as equivalent to the use of nebulizers (nebs) for symptom response.[1-3] Additional well-documented benefits to using MDIs in place of nebs include fewer systemic side effects, better long-term patient adherence to therapy, and, in the era of COVID-19, decreased use […]

REDUCING INAPPROPRIATE INPATIENT PHYSICAL THERAPY CONSULTS: A NOVEL APPROACH
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Physical therapy (PT) in the inpatient setting is a limited and valuable resource. Inappropriate PT consultation is costly and can lead to delays in care. Overutilization of inpatient PT services is an increasingly recognized problem. Patients with minimal or no functional limitations frequently receive PT evaluation, diverting resources and delaying care for the patients […]

IMMUNOTHERAPY INDUCED HEPATITIS
SHM Converge 2022
Case Presentation: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have evolved into the conventional therapy regimen for many cancer types. The major categories of immune checkpoint inhibitors include monoclonal antibodies against cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA-4), programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand molecules (PD-L1). Pembrolizumab has been implicated in causing hepatitis Discussion: An 89-year-old Caucasian […]
