The patients developed breast cancer years after their transplants, with three of them dying of the disease.
Dr. Frederike Bemelman, professor of nephrology at the University of Amsterdam and author of the report, stressed that this is an "extremely rare" case, the first she has encountered in 20 years in the field of transplantation immunology.

Ron Gross thought nothing of getting bloodwork before undergoing fusion surgery for damaged discs in his neck. But he now considers that routine procedure a miracle.
The blood test picked up a rare form of cancer called myelodysplastic syndrome, which occurs when the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow grow and mature abnormally.

Mariann had a horrific awareness that she picked the wrong specialty.
Seven years of post-college education and interminable anesthesiology training had morphed into brutal 12-hour, in-house OB shifts, when she often gave more than a dozen epidurals. She envisioned a joyless future as she watched the other women in her anesthesia group who were 20 years older and still working long hospital hours.

It's no secret that America's healthcare workers are in danger of injuries sustained from improperly lifting and moving the patients they tend to every day in U.S. hospitals. And if workers can't safely move patients, it places the patients at risk as well.
According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration statistics, worker injuries from slips, trips, and falls are one of the agency's biggest concerns, especially in hospitals.

Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome who had persistent mutations detected in bone marrow samples after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation appeared at increased risk for disease progression, according to an exploratory study published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Myelodysplastic syndrome is the most common myeloid cancer diagnosed among U.S. adults. Although HSCT leads to cure for some patients, disease progression after transplant is common and molecular predictors for progression remain unclear.

That is the question, my friends. I recall receiving this piece of advice in nursing school: “The secret to nursing is to never work overtime. Work 3 days a week and only 3 days a week.”
Unfortunately, this piece of advice was coming from my favorite nurse that i had worked with in clinicals, the one that never had a bad attitude, was a team player, and was down for whatever came his way. So what to believe??!

David Blackshear was born with only one kidney. But the 70-year-old Arizona man didn’t seriously worry about it until this summer, when it began to fail.

Laws on advanced practice authorize nurse practitioners to take histories, perform examinations, diagnose medical problems, order tests, and prescribe medications. The legal language usually is general in nature and often doesn't address specific activities or procedures.
