An Introduction
Authors: Freifeld Alison G.
Published: November 2017

This chapter focuses on solid tumors and how they can be treated. Solid tumors, lymphomas, and leukemias represent a widely diverse array of cancers. Until recently, the general approach to treating all of them was to administer cytotoxic anticancer drugs that damage proliferating cells by interfering with mitosis and other essential steps in cellular replication. Localized solid tumors are largely treated by surgical resection and radiotherapy, with cytotoxic chemotherapy being commonly used adjunctively or in cases of metastatic disease. A major drawback of this approach has been the lack of specificity in that cytotoxic drugs will destroy actively dividing normal cells as well as malignant cells. The “shotgun approach” of using intensive cytotoxic chemotherapies has been the mainstay of cancer treatment for at least 6 decades. The chapter concludes that in addition to the tissue damage and immunomodulating effects of anticancer drugs, it should be remembered that cancers themselves may increase the chances for infection.

Introduction
Authors: Wingard John R.
Published: November 2017

This chapter starts by explaining that the goal of allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the establishment of donor hematopoiesis and immunity in the recipient to treat an antecedent marrow failure disorder or to achieve a graft-versus-cancer effect to treat a neoplastic disease. The goal of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is very different from allogeneic HSCT. In autologous HSCT, the goal of the graft is simpler: it is to rescue the myelotoxic effects of high-dose chemotherapy. Neutropenia is shorter, cellular immunodeficiency is less profound, and immune reconstitution is quicker. Infectious exposures before transplant play an important role after transplant. Although an infection may be effectively treated and under good control before transplant, reactivation may occur after transplant. The search for risk factors that can identify individuals at greatest risk for various types of infection has led to the identification of neutropenia, lymphopenia (or low CD4+ cell counts), low levels of immunoglobulin, and GVHD, prior infection by organisms that may persist in the recipient or donor, and a number of other factors in certain situations. The chapter concludes that one of the biggest challenges is distinguishing infection from some other noninfectious etiology of a syndrome.

Patch Clamp Recording in Vivo
Authors: Ferster David
Published: November 2017

Patch clamp recording in vivo allows an investigator to study intracellular membrane potentials in an intact organism (as opposed to cells in culture or acute brain slices). This technique is a reliable method of obtaining high-quality intracellular recordings from neurons, regardless of their size, in several parts of the mammalian brain. This chapter will describe the principles and practice of performing patch clamp experiments in vivo, beginning with a brief history of the technological developments that have made this technique possible.
Electroencephalogram Recording in Humans
Authors: Kam Julia W. Y. , Handy Todd C.
Published: November 2017

This chapter provides an elementary introduction to the theory and practical application of electroencephalogram (EEG) recording for the purpose of studying neurocognitive processes. It is aimed at readers who have had little or no experience in EEG data collection, and would like to gain a better understanding of scientific papers employing this methodology or start their own EEG experiment. We begin with a definition of EEG, and a summary of the strengths and limitations of EEG-based techniques. Following this is a description of the basic theory concerning the cellular mechanisms underlying EEG, as well as two types of data generated by EEG recording. We then present a brief summary of the equipment necessary for EEG data acquisition and important considerations for presentation software. Finally, we provide an overview of the protocol for data acquisition and processing, as well as methods for quantifying both EEG and event-related potentials data.

Epidural Abscess
Authors: Mabey David
Published: November 2017

An epidural abscess is a collection of pus that has accumulated between the dura and the calvarium or spine. It is rare but can lead to severe neurologic dysfunction or death. There are two main subsets of epidural abscess: spinal epidural abscess (SEA) and intracranial epidural abscess (ICEA). Early diagnosis is key to minimizing complications. Back pain is the most common presentation of SEA, along with spinal tenderness. Treatment requires prolonged hospitalization, surgical drainage in most cases, and long-term antibiotics. Except in rare cases, patients with SEA and ICEA will require hospital admission. In the stable patient, antibiotics should be withheld until culture data can be obtained. If surgical treatment is not readily available, biopsy is often performed to obtain samples for culture before starting antibiotics.
Otitis Externa, Otitis Media, and Mastoiditis

Otitis Externa is an infection of external auditory canal. Infection typically occurs via penetration of the epithelial barrier. Patients typically present with inflammation of the auricle, external auditory canal, or outer tympanic membrane. First-line therapy includes topical acidic agents and antibiotic drops. Oral antibiotics should be considered for recurrent infections, those resistant to topical therapy, severe disease, extension beyond the external auditory canal, diabetics, or immunocompromised patients. Otitis Media is an infection of the middle ear. Patients typically present with otalgia, otorrhea, fever, irritability, anorexia, and hearing loss. Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid bone. Patients present with pain, swelling, and erythema over the mastoid bone. Fever, irritability, otalgia, and hearing loss are also often present. Infection can be serious and may lead to sepsis, sigmoid sinus thrombosis, and intracranial abscess if not treated appropriately. More common complications include chronic infection, resistant bacteria, and mild hearing loss.
Rhinosinusitis

Rhinosinusitis is inflammation of the nasal passages and paranasal sinuses, commonly caused by allergies or viral infection. Sinusitis occurs after the development of rhinitis or inflammation of the nasal passages. Rhinitis is most commonly caused by allergens, but it also can be to the result of an infectious or autoimmune process. For rhinitis to progress to rhinosinusitis, there must be obstruction within the ostiomeatal complex, which is the draining center for the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, and frontal sinuses. History and physical exam are more specific than imaging for diagnosis. Complications arising from sinusitis can cause extensive morbidity if not recognized early. The most common complication is periorbital cellulitis arising from ethmoidal sinusitis. Evaluate for severe complications in immunocompromised patients. Adjunctive therapies to relieve nasal obstruction include medications that decrease mucosal edema as well as increase clearance of congestion. Consider avoiding antibiotics if symptoms are of short duration and are consistent with viral sinusitis.
Odontogenic Infections

Published: November 2017

Odontogenic infections often arise from dental caries (usually the mandibular teeth) or from dental extraction. Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) is more common in immunocompromised patients. These infections may spread into the parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal spaces, involving the airway and mediastinum. Airway management is critical as odontogenic infections can compromise airways via mass effect. Complications include the following: abscess, facial or orbital cellulitis/abscess, intracranial invasion, Ludwig’s angina, Lemierre syndrome, carotid artery erosion, descending necrotizing mediastinitis, airway compromise, hematogenous dissemination to distant organs, intraoral or dentocutaneous fistula formation, and cardiovascular disease. Antibiotics are not a substitute for definitive airway management. In addition, many cases of odontogenic infection will require surgical drainage, either at the bedside in the emergency department or in the operating room. Prior to this, consider using a nerve block to obtain anesthesia to the affected area of the face. Patients with necrotizing infections need emergent surgery with wide local debridement.
Periocular Infections
Authors: DeAugustinas M. , Kiely A
Published: November 2017

Periocular Infections occur when there is inflammation of the conjunctiva. Uncomplicated viral infections can usually be managed with careful hand hygiene and lubrication of the eye with artificial tears. More severe infections are notable for purulent discharge, membrane formation, and scarring, and can lead to corneal change. For suspected bacterial conjunctivitis, empiric therapy begins with broad spectrum antibiotic eye drops or ointment, which are supplemented with oral antibiotics in cases associated with pharyngitis and in children with H. influenzae infection. For gonococcal conjunctivitis, systemic ceftriaxone is recommended for both adults and children (including neonates) due to the increasing prevalence of penicillin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae. If the cornea is not involved and the patient is extremely reliable, next day referral to an ophthalmologist in addition to management with IM ceftriaxone is sufficient. Otherwise, admission for IV therapy is advised. Copious, repeated irrigation is also advised to remove inflammatory mediators and debris that can contribute to corneal melting.
Septic Thrombophlebitis

Septic (suppurative) thrombophlebitis is venous thrombosis in the setting of bacteremia. There is usually a degree of perivascular inflammation seen on histology. Septic thrombophlebitis occurs most commonly with intravenous catheters. However, most cases of infection related to intravenous catheters are not complicated by septic thrombophlebitis. Catheter-related septic thrombophlebitis includes erythema, tenderness, and/or drainage at the site of an intravenous catheter. Jugular vein septic thrombophlebitis, also known as Lemierre’s syndrome, is a subset of septic thrombophlebitis. This condition can affect otherwise young, healthy adults and is often preceded by pharyngitis with tonsillar and peritonsillar involvement, dental infections, or infectious mononucleosis. Presentation of jugular vein septic thrombophlebitis includes high fevers, rigors, respiratory distress, ulceration or erythema of the oropharynx, and tenderness and swelling of the neck. Primary treatment of thrombophlebitis includes removal of infected materials, intravenous antibiotics, and possible anticoagulation.
Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Authors: Circh Ryan
Published: November 2017

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is defined as an acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma in someone who has not recently had close contact with the health care system. Common presentations include abrupt fever and chills, productive cough, purulent sputum, dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, and the absence of rhinorrhea and sore throat. Prompt antibiotics and admission to the correct level of care are essential in emergency management. Chest radiographs and dry computed tomography (CT) scans can be extremely useful in confirming the diagnosis of CAP in immunocompetent patients. Assessment of the airway, breathing, and circulation is essential. Adequate fluid resuscitation, early appropriate antibiotics, and careful attention to monitoring are still mainstays of treatment. Clinical decision tools like CURB-65 and PORT score can help identify low-risk patients when making decisions about whether or not to admit.
