TL;DR: Lipid injectable emulsion (ILE) (also known as intravenous fat emulsion) product shortage considerations were approved by the ASPEN Clinical Practice Committee and the Board of Directors on December 21, 2016.
Abstract: The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) is a professional society of physicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, other allied health professionals, and researchers. ASPEN envisions an environment in which every patient receives safe, efficacious, and high-quality patient care. ASPEN’s mission is to improve patient care by advancing the science and practice of clinical nutrition and metabolism. ASPEN has developed parenteral nutrition (PN) shortage considerations to assist its members and other clinicians in coping with PN shortages for their patients. These lipid injectable emulsion (ILE) (also known as intravenous fat emulsion) product shortage considerations were approved by the ASPEN Clinical Practice Committee and the Board of Directors on December 21, 2016. For the most up-to-date product shortage information, see these websites:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed analysis of an excerpt of paired discourse by undergraduate mathematics majors working on an introductory proof task and draw on the excerpt to illustrate that there exists in discourse between novice interlocutors natural opportunities, especially ripe with potential, in which experts could intervene to steer the discourse toward increasing mathematical sophistication.

TL;DR: In this paper, the U.S. military's modern Psychological Operations division was used to teach students about persuasion techniques, especially as governments use them, and how to innoculate themselves against unwanted influence attempts.
Abstract: This project teaches students about persuasion techniques, especially as governments use them. Most project examples came from the work of the U.S. military's modern Psychological Operations division. Social psychology students (a) reviewed influence techniques; (b) examined posters, leaflets, and other persuasion tools used in World War II, the Gulf War, Kosovo, and Afghanistan; (c) pondered legal and ethical issues related to persuasion campaigns; and (d) considered the differences between persuasion and propaganda. Finally, students considered ways to innoculate themselves against unwanted influence attempts.

TL;DR: Lab data, laboratory data, and clinical signs including exacerbation of performance status, skin lesions, and lymphadenopathy should all be monitored during WW to ensure appropriate timing of chemotherapy initiation to improve outcomes in indolent ATL.
Abstract: Watchful waiting (WW) is among the treatment options indicated for patients with indolent adult T-cell leukemia–lymphoma (ATL). However, we previously showed that the long-term prognosis of patients with smoldering and chronic ATL is often worse than expected, with many undergoing transformation to aggressive ATL. To identify clinical features associated with transformation of smoldering/chronic ATL, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical features of 44 patients (14 smoldering and 30 chronic) who experienced transformation during WW. An elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) value was most often observed (n = 30) at the time of transformation, especially in the chronic type (n = 24). Major organ involvement, lymphadenopathy, and hypercalcemia were shown to be associated with transformation in transformed patients without elevated LDH. The median overall survival time after transformation was only 7.8 months, and the prognosis was poor after transformation in those fulfilling the criteria of acute type, similar to that of de novo aggressive ATL. Laboratory data, such as LDH, and clinical signs including exacerbation of performance status, skin lesions, and lymphadenopathy should all be monitored during WW to ensure appropriate timing of chemotherapy initiation. Identification of optimal predictive markers for transformation and new therapeutic options is warranted to improve outcomes in indolent ATL.
