TL;DR: An algorithm is proposed for the workup of NETs of unknown primary that integrates molecular tumor classification based on differential gene expression and functional imaging, which will lead to better NET subtype identification and improved treatment optimization for patients.
Abstract: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplasms in which tumor staging/prognosis and response to treatments depend heavily on accurate and timely identification of the anatomic primary site or NET subtype. Despite recent technological advancements and use of multiple diagnostic modalities, 10% to 14% of newly diagnosed NETs are not fully characterized based on subtype or anatomic primary site. Inability to fully characterize NETs of unknown primary may cause delays in surgical intervention and limit potential treatment options. To address this unmet need, clinical validity and utility are being demonstrated for novel approaches that improve NET subtype or anatomic primary site identification. Functional imaging using Ga-radiolabeled DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography has been shown to overcome some false-positive and resolution issues associated with octreotide scanning and computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging. Using a genomic approach, molecular tumor classification based on differential gene expression has demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy in blinded validation studies of different NET types and subtypes. Given the widespread availability of these technologies, we propose an algorithm for the workup of NETs of unknown primary that integrates these approaches. Including these technologies in the standard workup will lead to better NET subtype identification and improved treatment optimization for patients.

TL;DR: Midostaurin demonstrated a manageable safety profile and was associated with high transplant and low on-treatment relapse rates, and toxicities were not influenced by age, anthracycline choice, or coadministration of CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Abstract: Approval of midostaurin, a multikinase inhibitor, in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of adults with newly diagnosed FLT3 mutation–positive acute myeloid leukemia, was based on the p...

TL;DR: Factors associated with respiratory failure in children with bronchiolitis on high flow nasal cannula can be considered upon presentation to selectively identify children at higher risk for respiratory failure.
Abstract: Background Bronchiolitis is the most common cause for hospitalization in infants. While the use of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has increased, it has not uniformly reduced intubation rates. Objective We identified factors associated with respiratory failure in children with bronchiolitis on HFNC. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of previously healthy children Results Of 2657 children on HFNC, the median age was 7 months, while the median age of the intubated cohort was 3 months. Ten percent (271) progressed to mechanical ventilation within 48 h of PED presentation. Of the 301 patients that needed escalation to CPAP and/or BiPAP, 91 required intubation. Factors associated with intubation were young age and a high respiratory tool score; factors associated with no progression to intubation were a reduction in tachycardia after initiation of HFNC and presentation after day 5 of illness. A secondary analysis also revealed decreased rate of intubation with the use of bronchodilators. We identified demographic, clinical, and therapeutic factors that are associated with requiring intubation. Conclusion Given the high burden of bronchiolitis in pediatric emergency departments, these factors can be considered upon presentation of children with bronchiolitis to selectively identify children at higher risk for respiratory failure.
