In much of the world antimicrobial drugs are sold without prescription or oversight by health-care professionals. The scale and effect of this practice is unknown. We systematically reviewed published works about non-prescription antimicrobials from 1970-2009, identifying 117 relevant articles. 35 community surveys from five continents showed that non-prescription use occurred worldwide and accounted for 19-100% of antimicrobial use outside of northern Europe and North America. Safety issues associated with non-prescription use included adverse drug reactions and masking of underlying infectious processes. Non-prescription use was common for non-bacterial disease, and antituberculosis drugs were available in many areas. Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are common in communities with frequent non-prescription use. In a few settings, control efforts that included regulation decreased antimicrobial use and resistance. Non-prescription antimicrobial and antituberculosis use is common outside of North America and northern Europe and must be accounted for in public health efforts to reduce antimicrobial resistance.

Non-prescription antimicrobial use worldwide: a systematic review

PURPOSETo discuss the predisposing risk factor for all forms of extramedullary leukemia (EML) and to review the clinical features, prognostic significance, and treatment strategies for primary EML and leukemia cutis (LC)/granulocytic sarcomas (GS) in the setting of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL).METHODSA review of all reports published since 1965 related to all forms of extramedullary leukemia (LC, GS, gingival hypertrophy, and meningeal leukemia [ML]).RESULTSSeveral factors, including chromosomal abnormalities [t(8;21), inv(16)], cell-surface markers (CD56, CD2, CD4, CD7), French-American-British (FAB) subtype (M2, M4, M5), blast differentiation and maturation, patient nutritional status, age, cellular immune dysfunction, high presenting leukocyte count, and decreased blast Auer rods, have been associated with a higher incidence of EML. Of 154 published cases of primary EML identified, 71 (46%) were initially misdiagnosed. The addition of immunohistochemical stains can assist in preventing such mis...

"Surgical Pathology of the Head and Neck, Third Edition " is a complete stand-alone reference dealing with head and neck pathology. Providing an interdisciplinary approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of head and neck diseases, and covering all aspects of general pathology - this is the reference of choice for head and neck pathologists, head and neck surgeons and pathologists promoting clear communication between pathologists and surgeons. With over 1200 photographs, micrographs, drawings, and tables - over 200 more illustrations than the second edition - head and neck pathologists, head and neck surgeons, otolaryngologists and pathologists will find this updated bestseller a valid reference for any practice. Unparalleled in scope and content than any other book available on the subject, "Surgical Pathology of the Head and Neck, Third Edition" is a must-have resource for oral, surgical, and general pathologists; otolaryngologists; oral, maxillofacial, plastic, reconstructive, general, head, neck, and orthopedic surgeons; and neurosurgeons, oncologists, hematologists, ophthalmologists, radiologists, endocrinologists, dermatologists, dentists, and residents and fellows in these disciplines.

Trichomatricial carcinoma has been recently recognized as a rare malignant variant of pilomatricoma with a potential for local recurrence and, rarely, for distant metastases. We describe such a tumor in a 52-year-old man who developed local recurrence and axillary lymph node metastases within six months of local excision, followed by bilateral pulmonary metastases and 2 1/2 years later by death due to disseminated tumor. This, to our knowledge, is the second reported case of metastasizing trichomatricial carcinoma.

We have examined the value of bone marrow biopsy histopathology in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Cases involving a pattern of interstitial, nodular, or mixed interstitial plus nodular infiltration of lymphocytes were clinically similar and manifested a more benign course. These patterns correlated with the clinical Stages 0, I, and II. However, cases involving a pattern of diffuse or mixed diffuse plus nodular infiltration of lymphocytes formed a clinical group with a more rapidly progressive course and these patterns correlated with clinical Stages III and IV. Other measurements, e.g., calculation of the percentage of lymphatic tissue in the bone marrow biopsy specimen and of the ratio of the percentage of lymphatic tissue in marrow to the peripheral blood lymphocyte count, were found to be cumbersome to perform and of no additional value to clinical staging in prognosis indication in CLL.
