Journal ArticleDOI
Cost-minimization analysis of low-molecular-weight heparin (dalteparin) compared to unfractionated heparin for inpatient treatment of cancer patients with deep venous thrombosis
Elenir B. C. Avritscher,Scott B. Cantor,Ya Chen T Shih,Carmelita P Escalante,Edgardo Rivera,Linda S. Elting +5 more
TL;DR: The dalteparin strategy is less expensive than the UFH strategy for the inpatient treatment of DVT among cancer patients and savings realized from less anticoagulant monitoring and shorter hospitalization offset the higher acquisition cost of daltEParin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of Antibiotic Susceptibility among Gram-Negative Bacilli at a Cancer Center
Kenneth V. I. Rolston,Linda S. Elting,Steven G. Waguespack,Dah Hsi Ho,Barbara LeBlanc,Gerald P. Bodey +5 more
TL;DR: A survey of the susceptibility of gram-negative bacilli isolated from cancer patients to broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents was conducted and the least resistance was observed against cefoperazone/sulbactam, ciprofloxacin, and imipenem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular access by physician assistants: evaluation of an implantable peripheral port system in cancer patients.
Edward B. Rubenstein,A Fender,Kenneth V. I. Rolston,Linda S. Elting,P Prasco,J Palmer,I Road,Raphael E. Pollock,Susan Frisbee-Hume,D Laurence +9 more
TL;DR: PAs can be taught to insert a peripheral subcutaneous implanted VAD and this technique is transferable from one PA to another, and the device studied is appropriate for outpatient VAD programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Impairment and Physical Activity Adherence Among Gynecologic Cancer Survivors: A Population-Based Study.
Pratibha Nayak,Sally W. Vernon,Lara S. Savas,Karen Basen-Engquist,Robert O. Morgan,Linda S. Elting +5 more
TL;DR: Gynecologic cancer survivors do not meet physical activity guidelines and experience functional impairment, which is associated with lower adherence to physical activity recommendations, and prospects are needed to better elucidate the relation between functional impairment and physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unanticipated frequency and consequences of regimen-related diarrhea in patients being treated with radiation or chemoradiation regimens for cancers of the head and neck or lung.
Stephen T. Sonis,Linda S. Elting,Dorothy M. K. Keefe,Hoang Nguyen,Steven M. Grunberg,Pamela Randolph-Jackson,Michael T. Brennan +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that focal radiation may also be associated with significant distant tissue-centric injury here represented by RID, and this unanticipated finding supports the hypothesis that focal Radiation Therapy results in pathobiological changes that extend beyond the radiation field and which can produce distant changes.
