TL;DR: One case is the first black and youngest reported case, the oldest person reported with this rare malignancy, and treatment of metastatic disease with two different chemotherapeutic regimens has been shown to improve survival.

TL;DR: These updated best practice recommendations provide a strong foundation for further planning efforts, and serve as the frame work for the NYC Burn Surge Response Plan that has been incorporated into the New York State Burn Plan.
Abstract: Since its inception in 2006, the New York City (NYC) Task Force for Patients with Burns has continued to develop a city-wide and regional response plan that addressed the triage, treatment, transportation of 50/million (400) adult and pediatric victims for 3 to 5 days after a large-scale burn disaster within NYC until such time that a burn center bed and transportation could be secured. The following presents updated recommendations on these planning efforts. Previously published literature, project deliverables, and meeting documents for the period of 2009-2010 were reviewed. A numerical simulation was designed to evaluate the triage algorithm developed for this plan. A new, secondary triage scoring algorithm, based on co-morbidities and predicted outcomes, was created to prioritize multiple patients within a given acuity and predicted survivability cohort. Recommendations for a centralized patient and resource tracking database, plan operations, activation thresholds, mass triage, communications, data flow, staffing, resource utilization, provider indemnification, and stakeholder roles and responsibilities were specified. Educational modules for prehospital providers and nonburn center nurses and physicians who would provide interim care to burn injured disaster victims were created and pilot tested. These updated best practice recommendations provide a strong foundation for further planning efforts, and as of February 2011, serve as the frame work for the NYC Burn Surge Response Plan that has been incorporated into the New York State Burn Plan.

TL;DR: A retrospective study to determine whether abnormalities in routine preoperative thyroid function studies correlate with the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.
Abstract: Background and aim
Although studies analyzing the effect of thyroid supplementation on postoperative morbidity and mortality from cardiac surgery have been inconclusive, they suggest a role in the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation. To further explore this relationship we conducted a retrospective study to determine whether abnormalities in routine preoperative thyroid function studies correlate with the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.
Methods
From May 2004 until July 2011, 821 patients with complete thyroid function testing performed preoperatively underwent cardiac surgery. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative laboratory, clinical and hemodynamic data including postoperative electrocardiogram monitoring were retrospectively evaluated.
Results
Mean age was 65.7 years and 36% (294) of patients were female. Mean preoperative ejection fraction was 48.6% and 18% (100) had clinical heart failure. Ninety percent (682) of patients were euthyroid and 10% (77) were hypothyroid. Atrial fibrillation occurred significantly more frequently in hypothyroid patients (33.4% vs. 22.5%; p = .033). In multivariable analysis, increasing thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level (OR: 1.11; CI: 1.01 to 1.22; p = .030) was an independent predictor of postoperative atrial fibrillation. Beta blocker use within 24 hours prior to operation was protective (OR: .54; CI: .35 to .83; p = .005). Length of stay was significantly longer in patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation (9.1 vs. 6.5 days; p < .001).
Conclusions
In the current study, preoperative hypothyroidism was associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation. Further studies are warranted to delineate whether preoperative hypothyroidism is a useful biomarker for selecting patients most likely to benefit from preoperative thyroid supplementation in the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12513 (J Card Surg 2015;30:307–312)

TL;DR: Although there is a statistically significant elevation in the serum levels of SMHC, the range of values seen is too large to allow SMHC to be a useful screening tool.
