    Abstract Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare, aggressive subtype of multiple myeloma (MM) with a poor prognosis. Prior studies have shown that racial disparities affect MM patients in various ways, which may affect patients' outcomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate racial differences in hospitalization outcomes for PCL using Nationwide Inpatient Sample data. Overall, hospitalization rates for PCL tended to decrease over the past decade. Among hospitalized patients with a primary diagnosis of PCL, there was no statistically significant association between race/ethnicity and hospitalization rates, between NH-White patients and NH-Black patients (OR 1.94; 95%CI 0.3-3.54, p 0.95), and Hispanic patients (OR 0.47; 95% CI 0.05-4.23, p 0.5). Additionally, there was no significant association between race/ethnicity and inpatient mortality. The overall lower incidence of PCL, more significant disease burden, and poor prognosis across all groups may contribute to our findings. With increasing evidence that PCL is cytogenetically distinct from MM, more investigation into biological and sociodemographic factors that affect healthcare utilization and treatment outcomes should be carried out.

    Abstract Polyhydroxycompounds (PHC) are used as lyoprotectors to minimize aggregation of pharmaceutical proteins during freeze-drying and storage. Lysozyme/PHC mixtures with 1:1 and 1:3 (w/w) ratios are freeze-dried from either H₂O or D₂O solutions. Disaccharides (sucrose and trehalose), monosaccharide (glucose), and sugar alcohol (sorbitol) are used in the study. Small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering (SANS and SAXS) are applied to study protein-protein interaction in the freeze-dried samples. Protein interaction peak in the freeze-dried mixtures has been detected by both SANS (D₂O-based samples only) and SAXS (both D₂O- and H₂O-based). In the 1:1 mixtures, protein separation distances are similar (center-of-mass distance of approx. 31 Å) between all lyoprotectors studied. Mixtures with a higher content of the disaccharides (1:3 ratio) have a higher separation distance of approx 40 Å. The higher separation could reduce protein-protein contacts and therefore be associated with less favourable aggregation conditions. In the 1:3 mixtures with glucose and sorbitol, complex SANS and SAXS/WAXS patterns are observed. The pattern for the glucose sample indicate two populations of lysozyme molecules, while the origin of multiple SAXS peaks in the lysozyme/sorbitol 1:3 mixture is uncertain. Protein-protein separation distance is determined predominantly by the lyoprotector/protein weight ratio. Use of SANS and SAXS improves understanding of mechanisms of protein stabilization by sugars in freeze-dried formulations, and provide a tool to verify hypothesis on relationship between protein/protein separation and aggregation propensity in the dried state.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to evaluate access to, and barriers to accessing, naloxone at community pharmacies throughout Massachusetts following implementation of new legislation that requires all community pharmacies to maintain a sufficient supply for dispensing under a statewide standing order.
    Design: From September 2018 through January 2019, we conducted a cross-sectional telephone-based survey of Massachusetts pharmacies by having an interviewer pose as a customer seeking naloxone.
    Setting and participants: Community pharmacies were identified from a list of all actively licensed pharmacies provided by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and one-half were randomly selected for inclusion. Pharmacies that were permanently closed, duplicated on the list, or closed to the general public were excluded from analysis.
    Outcome measures: Rates of stocked naloxone, perceived need for identification or prescription, and pricing.
    Results: Of the 524 pharmacies surveyed, 97.7% (n = 512) reported routinely stocking naloxone. Of those, 90.4% (n = 463) had naloxone in stock on the day of contact. Most pharmacies with naloxone in stock did not require a prescription (96.1%; n = 445); at these pharmacies, personal identification was required by 38.9% (n = 180). The average out-of-pocket naloxone nasal spray price was $128.34 ± $40.75.
    Conclusion: Nearly all Massachusetts community pharmacies routinely stock naloxone as required by state law; however, barriers remain regarding perceived need for identification and high out-of-pocket costs.

    Abstract Surprisingly little research investigates employee breaks at work, and even less research provides prescriptive suggestions for better workday breaks in terms of when, where, and how break activities are most beneficial. Based on the effort-recovery model and using experience sampling methodology, we examined the characteristics of employee workday breaks with 95 employees across 5 workdays. In addition, we examined resources as a mediator between break characteristics and well-being. Multilevel analysis results indicated that activities that were preferred and earlier in the work shift related to more resource recovery following the break. We also found that resources mediated the influence of preferred break activities and time of break on health symptoms and that resource recovery benefited person-level outcomes of emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior. Finally, break length interacted with the number of breaks per day such that longer breaks and frequent short breaks were associated with more resources than infrequent short breaks.
