23, p  less then  .01). In addition, poor insight was moderately associated with reality distortion (r = 0.28, p  less then  .01), disorganization (r = 0.29, p  less then  .01), and negative symptoms (r = 0.20, p  less then  .01). DISCUSSION Organizing the neurocognitive variables using the MATRICS domains continues to demonstrate that the relationship between insight and neurocognition is relatively weak. In comparison, we found moderate correlations between insight and theory of mind and several symptom domains. These moderate relationships are generally consistent with previous meta-analyses but are demonstrated more rigorously by examining more studies within the same meta-analysis. V.We synthesized and identified four metabolites of acyl-coenzyme Acholesterol O-acyltransferase (ACAT)-1 inhibitor, K-604 (1). Two of the metabolites M1 and M2, were prepared from 1 using a combination reagent of hydrogen peroxide and sodium tungstate with either phosphoric acid or trifluoroethanol as the solvent to control the regioselectivity. Upon exposure of 4b to tert-butyl hypochlorite at -78 °C, the monosulfoxidation afforded synthetic intermediate of M3 in excellent yield. The efficient synthesis of M4 was established. The in vitro metabolic study exhibited a high clearance value (720 μL/min/mg protein) of 1 using human liver microsomes. SEW 2871 concentration We orally administered a single dose of 10 mg/kg of 1 to monkeys because the in vitro metabolic patterns are quite similar. Fortunately, the drug concentration of 1 was much higher than those of M1, M2, M3 and M4. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to evaluate the toxicity of autologous transplantation of non-frozen peripheral blood stem cells in Moroccan patients with multiple myeloma. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a bicentric retrospective study conducted in the Clinical Haematology Department of Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital and at the Al Madina Clinic in Casablanca. The study period was from January 2015 to June 2019. All patients with multiple myeloma who had undergone an autologous peripheral stem cell transplant without freezing were included. Mobilisation was performed with lenograstim alone and the collected stem cells were stored for 24-48hours in a blood bank refrigerator at a temperature of 4°C. After standard conditioning with high-dose melphalan, the peripheral blood stem cells were reinjected 24 h following conditioning. RESULTS Over the study period, 55 patients received an autologous transplant using non-frozen peripheral blood stem cells. The median richness of the CD34 cells collected was 4.5×106 CD34/kg (range 2-12.2). The time required for neutrophil recovery was 12 days (range 7-19). The time required for platelet recovery was 14 days (range 9-32). The mortality rate within 100 days post-transplant was 3.6%. We did not observe any cases of graft failure. CONCLUSION Our study finds good feasibility and low toxicity of autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation without freezing in patients with multiple myeloma. PURPOSE Local anesthetics are used for procedures in various settings. Although complications related to local anesthetic use is rare, adverse events do occur. A significant knowledge deficit was identified regarding local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) signs, symptoms, and treatment. DESIGN A learning needs assessment was performed at a local hospital to determine the nurses' baseline knowledge of LAST signs, symptoms, and treatment. METHODS A self-paced web-based learning module was developed and completed by clinical nurses with an immediate post and 6-month follow-up surveys. FINDINGS The repeat learning needs assessment immediately after education resulted in more than 50% improvement in nurses' knowledge of LAST. A 6-month follow-up survey indicated that the gain in knowledge, signs, symptoms, and treatment of LAST was maintained
