9 weeks (29.2-114.2; 25th-75th percentile). Patients with a shorter time to initial irAE and shorter time to postrechallenge irAE were at greater risk for disease progression [hazard ratio 7.80; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.91-32.83; P = 0.004; hazard ratio 7.45, 95% CI, 1.57-35.35; P = 0.012). Those with greater duration to rechallenge (>10 weeks) were at lower risk for disease progression (hazard ratio 0.15, 0.03-0.68; P = 0.015). ICI rechallenge can be considered in patients with advanced melanoma, as the risk-benefit profile appears favorable. Treatment toxicity should be appropriately managed, as longer durations to rechallenge may lower the risk of disease progression.The emerging role of BRAF and MEK tyrosine-kinase inhibitors has shown new opportunities of treatment for patients with advanced melanoma and BRAF mutations. Its use is associated with some toxicities, as pyrexia, that clinicians may not be familiarized with. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with stage IV melanoma BRAF Val600E mutated who was started on dabrafenib and trametinib and developed three severe episodes of fever, hypotension and acute phase reactants elevation during the first 3 months of therapy, in the absence of microbiological demonstration of infection. The episodes were initially managed as a septic shock with broad-spectrum antibiotics and vasoactive drugs, while treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib was withheld. After two subsequent dose reduction of dabrafenib, the patient did not experience new episodes of fever. The project's purpose was to implement and assess the effectiveness of evidence-based best practice recommendations for perioperative diabetes management of adult patients with diabetes who underwent a surgical procedure.

Gender differences exist in headache disorders. A greater understanding of the role of hormones in headache can help the clinician better approach and manage common primary headache disorders. Recent studies highlight differences in how migraine and cluster headache present in women and men. Updates to the ongoing debate of how to manage the use of hormones in women with migraine, especially with aura, have been well reviewed in the last 18 months. A new meta-analysis evaluates gender differences in response to triptans. This review will focus on recent updates on the role of gender and hormones on migraine and cluster headache and how this may influence treatment.

This review examines recently published randomized placebo-controlled trials for the treatment of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). Until recently, treatments for NMOSD were used-off label and had not been subjected to randomized placebo-controlled trials. Increased understanding of the pathophysiology of NMOSD, particularly aquaporin-4-IgG seropositive NMOSD, lead to the investigation of eculizumab, inebilizumab, and satralizumab for maintenance therapy. Eculizumab inhibits the cleavage of the terminal complement protein C5, inebilizumab depletes immune cells of B-lymphocyte lineage, and satralizumab inhibits interleukin-6 receptors. International, phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials have demonstrated that each of these therapies reduces the risk of NMOSD relapse. In some cases, the studied therapies were administered in conjunction with other immunosuppressants. Each therapy has important safety considerations, notably risk of meningococcal infection with eculizumab and risks of infection and hypogammaglobulinemia with inebilizumab. Reviewing trial design highlights future ar
