Itโs been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). Iโm reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.
I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share โ Iโm trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.
People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at octant.bio.

I donโt really care if my 15yo son gets straight Aโs or goes to an Ivy college or whatever, but I am super proud that he went in the mosh pit last night at the Green Day concert with me.

You are rotating on the Procedure Service and your team is asked to perform a routine โtherapeuticโ paracentesis on a patient with cancer. You walk into the room to meet the patient and this is what you see.
This finding should generate a hypothesis.

However, the most intriguing acknowledgement is that the USMLE isnโt only investigating Nepal.
In fact, using agreement analysis, theyโve **already found evidence of cheating** in examinees who took the USMLE in Jordan, Pakistan, and India.
Look for the other shoe to drop soon.

Did you know the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) gene, crucial in brain and limb development, is whimsically named after the iconic video game character? While SHH plays a key role in embryonic patterning and cell differentiation, its name reflects a fun side of scientific nomenclature. ๐งต

Pro tip:
Costco is often the cheapest place to get prescriptions on GoodRx. If you have a patient that needs it to buy scripts, tell them they can go to Costco. They donโt need a membership to use the pharmacy, itโs illegal to have a membership service to a pharmacy. โ at Gastonia, NC
