new patients in the work
1. Patient with Polycystic Kidney, Hypertension, we need his genes to see what is the most effective treatment, ACE inhibitors advised is to be taken with a grain of salt
Indeed they are hard to administer in a patient who has anxiety and undefined recurrent vomiting fully worked up by 2-3 Gastroenterologist. The patient vomiting with rising creatinine, the first thing the Nephrologist does is to stop the ACE inhibitor!
2.We are still on the move in El Paso:
"Hi Dr. Kankonde,
I have everything booked for your assignment starting March 5th."
On a new contract, CRBCM continue its work! And Medical Assistants from Vista College tagging along to continue to learn how a complex practice works!
3. We are fascinated by our case of Endodermal Rabdomyosarcoma.
A 19 year old nice young man presented with a 7.5 cm Right Testicular mass of endodermal Rabdo. which eventually was resected, a PET scan revealed small uptake in the R groin and some in the lumbar region
MRI in this area revealed an Hemangioma in the Vertebrae.
The uptake in the R groin could be reactive small nodes, no other findings,
adjuvant chemotherapy is being given following Ewing Sarcoma protocol
and patient is on the 3rd cycle of Alternating chemotherapy drug. People in Boston offered 17 chemotherapy cycles to achieve a 80% control of disease, some offered chemotherapy for 2 years,
weigh in if you have different opinion. Folks in Radiation are still scratching their heads! When or if to give Radiation? You have an opinion, call 915-307-3354
915-307-3354, I want to hear your input!At CRBCM, we are still after the genes involved in this disease!
4.We submitted a SBIR project in time and folks at NIH have contacted us for additional input, meaning we are still in play! The CRBCM is proud of this first step despite the fact that we remain optimistic, our feet are still on the ground. As a young enterprise, the CRBCM remains alert. Our submission with CPRIT, well it did not work!
"Dear Applicant,
CPRIT has considered your request for an extension of the submission deadline to complete your CPRIT Prevention Program application. This request was not approved.
You may consider submitting an application the next time this mechanism is offered. Thank you for your interest in CPRIT’s Prevention Program.
Sincerely,"
Talking about about a new CPRIT, tough guys over there, with a deadly portal making the submission a tough proposition for the little guy! Our proposal remains intact, Breast cancer Mortality is continuing while this is happening! Obstacles to improving the cure comes in all kinds of shapes! Be on the lookout folks! The CRBCM continues on its progress because we believe in the mission...
5. Participation in the Muscle Dystrophy activity this week, well that's just another challenge...! But be aware of this... and contribute!
THE CRBCM is still on the move....
