    Abstract Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is a potexvirus of the family Alphaflexiviridae within the order of Tymovirales that threatens tomato production worldwide. PepMV possesses a positive-strand RNA genome with a 5'-methylguanosine cap and a 3'-polyA tail. Previously, using partially-purified viral RNA polymerase important secondary structures within the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of PepMV RNA were identified. Here we show that an RNA pseudoknot can be formed in the 3'-UTR that includes part of the polyA tail. Using protoplasts, we demonstrate that the pseudoknot is required for replication of PepMV RNA. Mutational analysis and native gel electrophoresis further show that the pseudoknot is stabilized by UAU base triples, as is the human telomerase RNA pseudoknot. The presence of a pseudoknot in several other members of the Alpha- and Betaflexiviridae is supported by covariance analysis and native gel electrophoresis of other potexvirus, capillovirus and trichovirus RNAs. The ubiquitous presence of the pseudoknot in viruses of the Betaflexiviridae, suggests that the pseudoknot is a typical trait of the Betaflexiviridae that may have been adopted by many potexviruses during evolution.

    Abstract Patients with hematological malignancies have an increased risk of serious outcomes following COVID-19 infection, suggesting broader protection is needed beyond vaccination. Monoclonal antibodies such as sotrovimab, casirivimab-imdevimab, and bamlanivimab have provided valuable options for the treatment of COVID-19 disease. More recently, monoclonal antibodies have been examined for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. The monoclonal antibody combination, tixagevimab-cilgavimab, was recently approved by Health Canada as pre-exposure prophylaxis against COVID-19 in individuals who are immunocompromised or where vaccination is not recommended. Prophylactic approaches such as the use of tixagevimab-cilgavimab, in addition to COVID-19 vaccination, may provide additional protection for patients with hematological malignancies who are at greater risk of serious outcomes from COVID-19 infection.

    Abstract Objectives: To summarize the role of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors in the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia with a focus on the nursing role in relation to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia being treated with BTK inhibitors.
    Data sources: These include published articles (PubMed) and national and international guideline documents.
    Conclusion: BTK inhibitors have revolutionized the therapy of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and have become the most frequently used therapy today. Despite the many advantages of BTK inhibitors, adverse events remain a leading cause of treatment discontinuation, particularly for the first-in-class BTK inhibitor. Second-generation BTK inhibitors appear to have a better tolerability profile but still require adverse event management given their prolonged duration of therapy. Awareness and management of side effects by the oncology care team is essential for ensuring both compliance and safety with ongoing treatment.
    Implications for nursing practice: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a chronic illness with a long-life expectancy. For the patients who require therapy, BTK inhibitor therapy is a frequently applied treatment with impressive efficacy. BTK inhibitors are continued indefinitely until disease progression or significant toxicity; therefore, the overall principles of careful assessment for side effects, diligent management for these, and individualized patient support provided by oncology nurses is vital in this patient population.

    Abstract The Lymphoma Diagnostic Pathway (LDP) was developed based upon clinical best practice guidelines and implemented in large urban centers where lymphoma treatment is provided in Alberta, Canada. A return-on-investment analysis of the implementation of this care pathway was conducted to inform future sustainability and expansion. A cohort design with propensity score matching and difference-in-difference estimation methods were used comparing both cost and return (reduced health service utilization) between patients who were diagnosed within the LDP and those who were diagnosed outside the LDP. LDP resulted in $1800 avoided HSU costs per patient. The LDP has been found to be cost-saving with an ROI of 5.3 (ranging from 3.95-8.97) - for every $1 invested, LDP resulted in a $5.30 return for the health system due to capacity improvements in ED, inpatient, outpatient, and a reduction in GP service utilization. Further study of implementation including patient/provider satisfaction and uptake is recommended.

    Abstract Background: Continuous oral targeted therapies (OTT) represent a major economic burden on the Canadian healthcare system, due to their high cost and administration until disease progression/toxicity. The recent introduction of venetoclax-based fixed-duration combination therapies has the potential to reduce such costs. This study aims to estimate the prevalence and the cost of CLL in Canada with the introduction of fixed OTT.
    Methods: A state transition Markov model was developed and included five health states: watchful waiting, first-line treatment, relapsed/refractory treatment, and death. The number of CLL patients and total cost associated with CLL management in Canada for both continuous- and fixed-treatment-duration OTT were projected from 2020 to 2025. Costs included drug acquisition, follow-up/monitoring, adverse event, and palliative care.
    Results: The CLL prevalence in Canada is projected to increase from 15,512 to 19,517 between 2020 and 2025. Annual costs were projected at C$880.7 and C$703.1 million in 2025, for continuous and fixed OTT scenarios, respectively. Correspondingly, fixed OTT would provide a total cost reduction of C$213.8 million (5.94%) from 2020 to 2025, compared to continuous OTT.
    Conclusions: Fixed OTT is expected to result in major reductions in cost burden over the 5-year projection, compared to continuous OTT.
