Abstract
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematologic malignancy that can involve the bone marrow, peripheral blood, skin, lymph nodes, and the central nervous system. Though more common in older adults, BPDCN has been reported across all age groups, including infants and children. The incidence of pediatric BPDCN is extremely low and little is known about the disease. Pediatric BPDCN is believed to be clinically less aggressive but often with more dissemination at presentation than adult cases. Unlike adults who almost always proceed to a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in first complete remission if transplant-eligible, the majority of children can be cured with a high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia-like regimen. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is recommended for children with high-risk disease, the definition of which continues to evolve, or those in relapse and refractory settings where outcomes continue to be dismal. Novel agents used in other hematologic malignancies and CD123 targeted agents, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cells and monoclonal/bispecific antibodies, are being brought into research and practice. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive review of presentation, diagnosis, and treatment by review of pediatric cases reported for the last 20 years, and a review of novel targeted therapies and therapies under investigation for adult and pediatric patients.

Abstract
Background and Objective Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy of lymphoid origin in children. The prognosis for newly diagnosed ALL in the pediatric population is generally favorable, with a 5-year overall survival rate of more than 90%. Though conventional therapy has led to meaningful improvements in cure rates for new-onset pediatric ALL, one-third of patients still experience a relapse or refractory disease, contributing to a significant cause of pediatric cancer-related mortality. Methods An extensive literature review was undertaken via various databases of medical literature, focusing on both results of larger clinical trials, but also with evaluation of recent abstract publications at large hematologic conferences. Key Content and Findings Remission is achievable in most of these patients by re-induction with currently available therapies, but the long-term overall survival rate is deemed suboptimal and remains a therapeutic challenge. As part of never-ceasing efforts to improve pediatric ALL outcomes, newer modalities, including targeted molecular therapies as well as immunotherapy, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, are currently being employed to increase treatment effectiveness as well as lessen the side effects from conventional chemotherapy. These approaches explore the use of early genome-based disease characterization and medications developed against actionable molecular targets. Conclusions Additional clinical research is nonetheless required to learn more about the potentially harmful effects of targeted therapies and investigate the possibility of these agents replacing or decreasing the use of conventional chemotherapy in treating pediatric ALL.

Abstract
We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2, Keck Array, and BICEP3 CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2018 observing season. We add additional Keck Array observations at 220 GHz and BICEP3 observations at 95 GHz to the previous 95/150/220 GHz dataset. The Q/U maps now reach depths of 2.8, 2.8, and 8.8 μK_{CMB} arcmin at 95, 150, and 220 GHz, respectively, over an effective area of ≈600 square degrees at 95 GHz and ≈400 square degrees at 150 and 220 GHz. The 220 GHz maps now achieve a signal-to-noise ratio on polarized dust emission exceeding that of Planck at 353 GHz. We take auto- and cross-spectra between these maps and publicly available WMAP and Planck maps at frequencies from 23 to 353 GHz and evaluate the joint likelihood of the spectra versus a multicomponent model of lensed ΛCDM+r+dust+synchrotron+noise. The foreground model has seven parameters, and no longer requires a prior on the frequency spectral index of the dust emission taken from measurements on other regions of the sky. This model is an adequate description of the data at the current noise levels. The likelihood analysis yields the constraint r_{0.05}<0.036 at 95% confidence. Running maximum likelihood search on simulations we obtain unbiased results and find that σ(r)=0.009. These are the strongest constraints to date on primordial gravitational waves.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Residency programs invest a significant amount of time and resources on the recruitment process, and maintaining efficiency and cost-effectiveness are very important. Virtual Reality (VR) has become an adaptive substitute for 'real life' experiences and its use during the interview season could help save time and resources. OBJECTIVE With the intention to maximize the interview day and provide a cost-effective alternative to facility tours, a Med-Peds residency training program introduced a VR tour of their children's hospital during recruitment. DESIGN The Med-Peds program replaced an in-person facility tour of the children's hospital with a VR tour. Applicants were asked to complete an anonymous, voluntary survey on their VR experience at the end of the interview season, and rank features of the interview day in order of importance. RESULTS There were 33 respondents out of 54 interviewees. Approximately two thirds (63-66%) agreed that VR was non-inferior and superior to in-person facility tours, and that the use of VR had a favorable impact on their perception of the program. However, almost 50% of the applicants had some difficulty using VR technology. CONCLUSION Use of VR facility tours as an alternative to in-person tours of affiliate training facilities during a residency interview day is a viable and innovative option that can save time and money and favorably impact the applicant's impression of the program. More research is necessary to assess whether VR tours can replace in-person tours at the main teaching site, however, while social distancing measures are in place, VR tours may become necessary for programs moving forward.

Abstract
We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the bicep2/Keck CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2015 observing season. This includes the first Keck Array observations at 220 GHz and additional observations at 95 and 150 GHz. The Q and U maps reach depths of 5.2, 2.9, and 26 μK_{CMB} arcmin at 95, 150, and 220 GHz, respectively, over an effective area of ≈400 square degrees. The 220 GHz maps achieve a signal to noise on polarized dust emission approximately equal to that of Planck at 353 GHz. We take auto and cross spectra between these maps and publicly available WMAP and Planck maps at frequencies from 23 to 353 GHz. We evaluate the joint likelihood of the spectra versus a multicomponent model of lensed-ΛCDM+r+dust+synchrotron+noise. The foreground model has seven parameters, and we impose priors on some of these using external information from Planck and WMAP derived from larger regions of sky. The model is shown to be an adequate description of the data at the current noise levels. The likelihood analysis yields the constraint r_{0.05}<0.07 at 95% confidence, which tightens to r_{0.05}<0.06 in conjunction with Planck temperature measurements and other data. The lensing signal is detected at 8.8σ significance. Running a maximum likelihood search on simulations we obtain unbiased results and find that σ(r)=0.020. These are the strongest constraints to date on primordial gravitational waves.

Abstract
We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2 and Keck Array cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments up to and including the 2014 observing season. This includes the first Keck Array observations at 95 GHz. The maps reach a depth of 50 nK deg in Stokes Q and U in the 150 GHz band and 127 nK deg in the 95 GHz band. We take auto- and cross-spectra between these maps and publicly available maps from WMAP and Planck at frequencies from 23 to 353 GHz. An excess over lensed ΛCDM is detected at modest significance in the 95×150 BB spectrum, and is consistent with the dust contribution expected from our previous work. No significant evidence for synchrotron emission is found in spectra such as 23×95, or for correlation between the dust and synchrotron sky patterns in spectra such as 23×353. We take the likelihood of all the spectra for a multicomponent model including lensed ΛCDM, dust, synchrotron, and a possible contribution from inflationary gravitational waves (as parametrized by the tensor-to-scalar ratio r) using priors on the frequency spectral behaviors of dust and synchrotron emission from previous analyses of WMAP and Planck data in other regions of the sky. This analysis yields an upper limit r_{0.05}<0.09 at 95% confidence, which is robust to variations explored in analysis and priors. Combining these B-mode results with the (more model-dependent) constraints from Planck analysis of CMB temperature plus baryon acoustic oscillations and other data yields a combined limit r_{0.05}<0.07 at 95% confidence. These are the strongest constraints to date on inflationary gravitational waves.

Abstract
We report the results of a joint analysis of data from BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck. BICEP2 and Keck Array have observed the same approximately 400 deg^{2} patch of sky centered on RA 0 h, Dec. -57.5°. The combined maps reach a depth of 57 nK deg in Stokes Q and U in a band centered at 150 GHz. Planck has observed the full sky in polarization at seven frequencies from 30 to 353 GHz, but much less deeply in any given region (1.2 μK deg in Q and U at 143 GHz). We detect 150×353 cross-correlation in B modes at high significance. We fit the single- and cross-frequency power spectra at frequencies ≥150 GHz to a lensed-ΛCDM model that includes dust and a possible contribution from inflationary gravitational waves (as parametrized by the tensor-to-scalar ratio r), using a prior on the frequency spectral behavior of polarized dust emission from previous Planck analysis of other regions of the sky. We find strong evidence for dust and no statistically significant evidence for tensor modes. We probe various model variations and extensions, including adding a synchrotron component in combination with lower frequency data, and find that these make little difference to the r constraint. Finally, we present an alternative analysis which is similar to a map-based cleaning of the dust contribution, and show that this gives similar constraints. The final result is expressed as a likelihood curve for r, and yields an upper limit r_{0.05}<0.12 at 95% confidence. Marginalizing over dust and r, lensing B modes are detected at 7.0σ significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cancer are often treated with glucocorticoids (gcs) as part of therapy, which may cause hyperglycemia. We sought to define the prevalence of, and risk factors for, hyperglycemia in this setting. METHODS Adult patients taking gc as part of therapy protocols for primary brain tumour or metastasis, for lymphoma, or for bone marrow transplant (bmt) were screened with random glucometer measurements taken at least 3 hours after the last dose gcs. RESULTS We screened 90 patients [44.4% women, 55.6% men; mean age: 59.6 years (range: 25-82 years); mean body mass index (bmi): 26.4 kg/m(2) (range: 15.8-45.3 kg/m(2))] receiving gc as part of cancer treatment. Mean total daily gc dose in the group was 238.5 mg (range: 30-1067 mg) hydrocortisone equivalents. Hyperglycemia (glucose ≥ 8.0 mmol/L) was found in 58.9% (53 of 90), and diabetes mellitus (dm)-range hyperglycemia (glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L) in 18.9% (17 of 90). The mean time from gc ingestion to glucometer testing was 5.5 hours (range: 3-20 hours). Presence of hyperglycemia did not correlate with traditional dm risk factors such as age, sex, bmi, and personal or family history of dm. A longer interval from gc dose to testing (p < 0.05), a higher gc dose (p = 0.04), and a shorter interval between the preceding meal and testing (p = 0.02) were risk factors for hyperglycemia in some patient groups. CONCLUSIONS Glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia is common in patients undergoing cancer treatment and cannot be predicted by traditional risk factors for dm. We recommend that all cancer patients receiving gc be screened for hyperglycemia at least 4-6 hours after gc administration.

Abstract
A search is presented for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with top quarks using the full Run II proton-antiproton collision data set, corresponding to 9.45 fb(-1), collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. No significant excess over the expected background is observed, and 95% credibility-level upper bounds are placed on the cross section σ(ttH → lepton + missing transverse energy+jets). For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c(2), we expect to set a limit of 12.6 and observe a limit of 20.5 times the standard model rate. This represents the most sensitive search for a standard model Higgs boson in this channel to date.

Abstract
Aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, can be cured in approximately 50% of cases, but those cases that recur and are not amenable to high-dose chemotherapy rely on palliative chemotherapy to improve symptoms and prolong life. Anthracyclines are associated with a high response rate in aggressive NHL but extended treatment results in cardiotoxicity. Liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin has been shown in other tumor types to allow for extended treatment with doxorubicin, but is associated with a low cardiac risk. The present study aimed to assess the response rate, survival and cardiac risk of patients with relapsed aggressive NHL treated with liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin. Eighteen patients with relapsed aggressive NHL were treated with liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin (40 - 50 mg/m2) for a planned six cycles. Some 83% of patients had diffuse large B-cell or mantle cell NHL. Four patients had a partial response (23%), whereas five patients had stable disease. None had a complete response. Eight patients progressed when receiving the liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin therapy. The median survival time was 34 weeks, and the median progression-free survival was 15.7 weeks. Overall survival was 50% at 6 months and 39% at 12 months. Progression-free survival was 33% at 6 months and was 28% at 12 months. The mean ejection fraction pre- and post-liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin treatment remained the same. Only one patient had a drop in ejection fraction to <50%. Liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin offers another choice to patients seeking palliation from their lymphoma recurrence with a response rate of 23% that was well tolerated and had a minimal cardiotoxic risk.

However, limited data suggests that it may not impact the risk of central nervous system (CNS) relapse. We evaluated the risk of CNS relapse and associated predictive factors in a large population-based cohort of patients with DLBCL. Methods: All patients with DLBCL diagnosed from September 1, 1999 to January 14, 2005 at the British Columbia Cancer Agency were identified, including those from a recently published report (Sehn, J Clin Onc. 2005). Patients were included if they were ≥16 years old with advanced stage (stage III /IV, or stage I /II with B symptoms or bulky disease (≥10 cm)), or limited stage with testicular involvement and excluded if HIV-positive or known to have CNS involvement at diagnosis. From Sept 1999 to Feb 2001 patients were treated with CHOP- type chemotherapy. After March 1, 2001 patients received CHOP-R. Results: A total of 435 patients with DLBCL were identified; 125 (29%) were treated with CHOP and 310 (71%) with CHOP-R. There were 28 CNS relapses with no significant difference in frequency between CHOP-treated (11 (9%)) or CHOP-R-treated (17 (5%)) patients (p=0.202). The median time to CNS relapse (8.1 mos vs 6.7 mos) and median survival after CNS relapse (2.7 mos vs 3.8 mos, p=0.665) were similar in the CHOP and CHOP-R treated patients, respectively. In univariate analysis, testicular involvement, renal involvement, advanced stage, and LDH ≥2x ULN were associated with increased risk of CNS relapse. In a multivariate analysis, testicular (OR 7.44, p=0.013) or renal (OR 6.23, p=0.012) involvement, and stage IV disease (OR 4.43, p=0.034) were independent predictors of CNS relapse. Conclusions: Consistent with prior reports, the addition of rituximab does not appear to significantly influence the risk of CNS relapse in patients with DLBCL, possibly due to poor CNS penetration. Risk factors for CNS relapse in the rituximab era are similar to those noted in prior reports based on anthracycline-treated patients. The overall survival of patients with CNS relapse is dismal and new strategies to reduce its incidence warrant further evaluation. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
8098 Background: Limited information is available on alemtuzumab in the non-clinical trial setting. We evaluated its efficacy and safety in 42 consecutive unselected patients who received alemtuzumab monotherapy in British Columbia between October 2002 and August 2006. Methods: Information on patient demographics, baseline clinical and pathologic characteristics, dose and schedule of treatment, clinical response, survival, and toxicities associated with alemtuzumab were collected retrospectively. Results: Thirty-nine of 42 patients had chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 2 had mycosis fungoides, and 1 had T-cell post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. In contrast to previous reports, 42% were treated by community practitioners and 83% received alemtuzumab subcutaneously. The median time from diagnosis to alemtuzumab was 58 months, with a median age of 63 years at alemtuzumab treatment. Patients received a median of 4 treatments prior to starting alemtuzumab. One of 42 patients (2%) achieved a complete response, 20 (48%) achieved a partial response, 13 (31%) had stable disease, and 4 (10%) had progressive disease. The median post-alemtuzumab overall survival was 15.1 months and the median progression-free survival was 5.4 months. Response to alemtuzumab correlated with an increased progression- free survival (11 months versus 3.6 months, p=0.001) and time to next treatment (15.7 months versus 5.4 months, p=0.004). Significant adverse events included grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (75%) or thrombocytopenia (42%), infections (54%) including CMV reactivation (6%), and death (12%). Patients who received alemtuzumab in the community setting had a higher incidence of febrile neutropenia (p=0.05) and infection (p=0.03) compared to academic centres, although no difference in overall survival was noted. Conclusion: Alemtuzumab can be safely administered in a wide variety of clinical settings, including community practice, and is associated with a high level of activity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide cladribine (CdA) to physicians for the treatment of patients with previously treated or untreated hairy cell leukemia (HCL), and to determine the response rate, response duration, survival, and toxicity with this agent. PATIENTS AND METHODS This Group C phase II study was open to all eligible patients whose primary physician obtained written permission from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to register patients onto this protocol. Of 979 patients registered, 861 were assessable for response and 895 for toxicity. RESULTS The complete remission (CR) rate was 50% and the partial remission (PR) rate was 37%. At a median follow-up of 52 months, 12% of patients were reported to have progressed and 62 (7%) have died of disease. CONCLUSION This large experience confirms the excellent response rates and remission duration of CdA in patients with HCL. Nevertheless, the response rates in this setting, which approximates general clinical practice, were lower than in other series. In general, CdA was well tolerated, but the potential increased risk for secondary malignancies requires additional follow-up evaluation. CdA can now be considered as one of the best agents for the treatment of HCL.

Abstract
Twenty patients with previously untreated hairy cell leukemia were randomized to undergo either splenectomy or to receive interferon alfa-N1, a highly purified natural alpha interferon, as primary therapy. A response in the peripheral blood elements to a hemoglobin greater than 110 gm/l, a granulocyte count greater than 1 x 10(9)/l, and a platelet count greater than 100 x 10(9)/l (Catovsky criteria) was noted in all ten patients receiving alpha interferon but in only three of the patients undergoing splenectomy (P = less than .01). Median time to response was longer in the ten interferon patients (153 days) than in the three splenectomy responders (20 days). Median time to treatment failure was significantly greater in the alpha interferon patients (greater than 18 months) than in the splenectomy patients (less than 1 month). Survival was no different since patients relapsing following splenectomy subsequently responded to alpha interferon. A significant decrease in leukemic bone marrow infiltration was observed in seven of ten patients receiving alpha interferon and in none of the patients undergoing splenectomy. Side effects, primarily infections, were more frequent in patients receiving interferon. Alpha interferon is preferable to splenectomy as initial treatment for hairy cell leukemia.

Abstract
Paraffin-embedded tissue from a series of 40 cases of diffuse, large cell lymphoma was analyzed by both flow and image cytometry to compare the ability of these techniques to detect DNA aneuploid populations. Image cytometry (ICM) was performed both on nuclear suspensions and tissue sections. Twenty cases (50%) were non-diploid by at least one method of analysis. Twenty-five percent of the cases were aneuploid by flow cytometry (FCM) alone. The majority of these cases were near-diploid tumors which could not be resolved by ICM. Peri-tetraploid peaks were identified by ICM of tissue sections alone in 15% of the cases. There was an apparent loss of these peri-tetraploid cells during the preparation of the nuclear suspensions. The remaining cases showed a good correlation between all three methods in the determination of DNA ploidy. Flow and image cytometry are complimentary techniques when applied to archival tissue, however aneuploid populations may be missed if ICM is not performed on tissue sections.

Abstract
One hundred thirty-eight patients with hairy cell leukemia were randomized to receive either a dose of 2.0 megaunits (MU)/m2 or a 10-fold lower dose of 0.2 MU/m2 of a highly purified natural alpha-interferon, administered daily for 28 days followed by a three times a week schedule. Ninety-seven of these patients had previously undergone splenectomy, but otherwise none of the patients had received prior therapy for their leukemia. The two doses were comparable in their effect on improving the neutrophil and platelet count, whereas the higher dose had a greater beneficial effect on the hemoglobin level and a greater antileukemic effect on the marrow. Acute toxicity in the form of a flu-like syndrome, neurologic side effects, neutropenia, and the need for platelet transfusions was observed less frequently in the low-dose group, as was the chronic fatigue syndrome. No neutralizing antibody activity was seen in the sera from 61 patients examined. Because of its beneficial effect on the neutrophil and platelet count and a lower degree of toxicity (ie, a superior therapeutic/toxicity ratio), the low dose is recommended as initial therapy in patients with hairy cell leukemia. This therapy may be followed by dose escalation once clinical improvement is observed.

Abstract
Hyperapobetalipoproteinemia (HyperapoB) is a lipid disorder characterized by premature coronary disease, although the mechanisms have not been elucidated. Because abnormalities in platelet function may represent an enhanced susceptibility to coronary thrombosis, the aggregability of platelets was examined in hyperapoB subjects. Compared to controls, there were no significant differences in either platelet lipid composition or in aggregation to epinephrine, ADP, or collagen. In contrast to other dyslipidemias, platelet function does not appear to be abnormal in this well defined lipid disorder.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the stability of the adrenocortical response to stimulation in the human neonate. Forty-nine healthy newborns were examined twice responding to discharge examinations performed on two consecutive days. The dependent measures were salivary and plasma cortisol and behavioral state. Little evidence of stability was obtained. Instead, the results showed significant elevations in cortisol only in response to the first discharge examination. No significant elevation in cortisol was noted to the second discharge examination although the newborns continued to exhibit behavioral distress. Time since delivery was not a significant factor in producing these results. The findings are discussed with regard to neonatal coping processes and the importance of novelty in regulating increases in adrenocortical activity.

Abstract
The association between behavioral distress and adrenocortical activity was examined in two experiments with human newborns. In Experiment 1, behavioral and adrenocortical responses to 4 events (circumcision, blood sampling, weighing and measuring, and discharge examination) were compared using a between-subject design. All 4 events elicited fussing and crying and elevations in plasma cortisol; however, differences in behavioral distress among conditions did not reliably predict differences in plasma cortisol. In Experiment 2, nonnutritive sucking was used to effectively reduce behavioral distress, but was not associated with a reduction in the adrenocortical response to stimulation. Finally, using data from both experiments, correlations were computed between behavioral distress and cortisol. Both positive and negative associations were found as a function of the type of stressor and the biomedical status of the newborn.

Abstract
We report the development of a new method of instantaneously measuring three-dimensional velocity profiles and structure in air and oxygen. No seeding of particles, molecules, or atomic species is required. The method combines Raman excitation and laser-induced electronic fluorescence to generate a time-gated image of the moving oxygen molecules.

Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) findings in 11 cases of aortic dissection were correlated with aortographic, surgical, or postmortem findings. In another two patients, the CT findings were considered diagnostic of aortic dissection but no further workup was performed. All the CT examinations were made before and after bolus injection of contrast. Many of the familiar angiographic signs were appreciated on CT, such as a thickened aortic wall, septum between two opacifying lumens, differential time density between the two lumens, and compression of the true lumen. No false-positive or false-negative studies were encountered. This experience suggests that CT is a reliable, noninvasive method for the diagnosis of aortic dissection.
