    Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of older adults and those who are more frail are at high risk of poor outcomes. Current tools for identifying and categorizing frail patients are often static and measured only at the time of diagnosis. The concept of dynamic frailty (i.e. frailty changing over time) is largely unexplored in MM. In our study, adults with newly-diagnosed MM who received novel drugs between the years 2007-2014 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare linked databases. Using a previously published cumulative deficit approach, a frailty index score was calculated at diagnosis and each landmark interval (1-yr, 2-yr, 3-yr post diagnosis). The association of frailty with overall survival (OS) both at baseline and at each landmark interval as well as factors associated with worsening frailty status over time were evaluated. Overall, 4617 patients were included. At baseline, 39% of the patients were categorized as moderately frail or severely frail. Among those who had 3 years of follow-up, frailty categorization changed post diagnosis in 93% of the cohort (78% improved and 72% deteriorated at least at one time point during the follow up period). In a landmark analysis, the predictive ability of frailty at the time of diagnosis decreased over time for OS (Harrell's C Statistic 0.65 at diagnosis, 0.63 at 1-yr, 0.62 at 2-yr, and 0.60 at 3-yr) and was inferior compared to current frailty status at each landmark interval. Our study is one of the first to demonstrate the dynamic nature of frailty among older adults with MM. Frailty may improve or deteriorate over time. Current frailty status is a better predictor of outcomes than frailty status at time of diagnosis, indicating the need for re-measurement in this high-risk patient population.

    Abstract Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). The hypomethylating agent azacitidine (AZA) has been shown to be effective in preclinical and clinical studies for the prevention of acute GVHD (aGVHD). We sought to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AZA when given on days 1 to 5 of a 28-day cycle for 4 cycles, starting on day +7 after allo-HCT, as well as its impact on aGVHD and chronic GVHD (cGVHD), relapse, and overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing matched unrelated donor allo-HCT. This study was a single-arm, single-center, open-label phase I-II study with a total of 15 and 38 patients enrolled in the phase I and II portions of the trial, respectively. A standard 3+3 study design was used in phase I, and all patients in phase II received AZA at the MTD determined in phase I. The MTD of AZA starting at day +7 post-transplantation was 45 mg/m

    Abstract Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a complex pathophysiologic process involving both the central and peripheral nervous system for which there is no definitive treatment. The number of individuals living with amputated limbs is predicted to increase to 3.5 million by 2050, and up to 80% of these patients will have PLP. In this case report, we will demonstrate successful reduction of PLP in a patient with bilateral phantom toe pain utilizing nerve blockade and subsequent cryoablation of the posterior tibial nerves.

    Abstract Background Heterotopic Ossification (HO) is a common condition referring to ectopic bone formation in soft tissues. It has two major etiologies, acquired (more common) and genetic. The acquired form is closely related to tissue trauma. The exact pathogenesis of this disease remains unclear; however, there is ongoing research in prophylactic and therapeutic treatments that is promising. Conclusions Due to HO potential to cause disability, it is so important to differentiate it from other causes in order to establish the best possible management.
