CDC Antibiotic Stewardship
 Take an “antibiotic time
out” – reassessing
antibiotics after 48-72
hours
 All orders should have:
 Dose, duration and
indications
 Get cultures before
starting antibiotics
 It has been estimated
that nearly half all
prescriptions written
are “unnecessary”

Measles complications
 1:10 children develop perm. hearing loss

of death in children with measles
 1:1000 develop enchephalitis
 2:1000 die

 Destroyed by T cells
 Presence of circulating antibodies


Vitamin deficiency??
Maybe – an over reactive response to protect against MM

0.5-2% of population

More females than males?


Not statistical – more females present
Average age of onset: 20 years old

Psoriasis
RA
Systemic lupus
31 fold increase in frequency of alopecia areata than general population
Also found association with: Guillain-Barre, myasthenia gravis, linear morphea,
discoid lupus and Sjogren syndrome
Malignant Melanoma
 Third most common, but most deadly
 Estimated 76,380 new cases will be diagnosed in 2016
 2017: 87,110 new cases
 10,130 people will die/ one person every 57 mins
 2017: 9,730 deaths
 Of the 7 most common cancers in the US, MM is the only one
that continues to increase in incidence
 Cause: sun, tanning bed, genetics (Jimmy Carter)
Men Vs Women
Men
 Majority of MM cases are
white men over the age of
50
 60% of MM deaths

5th
most common cancer in
men
Women
 39 and under have a higher
chance of developing MM
than any other cancer
 Leading cause of death in
women 25-30 yrs old
 7th most common cancer in
women
Ethnicity
 60-75% of MM arise on areas of less pigment in people
of color: palms; soles; nail beds and mucous membranes
 MM is uncommon in people of color ~ approximately
1:100,000
 Late stage diagnoses are more prevalent among people
of color ~ therefore MM is more likely to be fatal
Kids and Melanoma
 MD Anderson
 500 children nationwide diagnosed with MM yearly
 John Hopkins study
 Children more likely than adults to have metastasis
to sentinel lymph node
 Children with metastasis : 25%
 Adults with metastasis: 14%
New Statistics - Kids
 90% of pediatric cases: 10 – 19 years old
 6.5% occur in non-Caucasians – higher than adult
statistics
 Diagnosis and treatment is delayed in 40% of pediatric
melanoma cases
 Second most common form of cancer: ages 15-29
Let’s talk tanning beds..
 First commercialized in US in 1978
 But…Coco Chanel brought the tan into vogue after
a trip to the French Riviera in 1929
 In 1978– 500,000 cases of skin cancer yearly
 Now – 3.5 million yearly (melanoma and
nonmelanoma)
 20 mins of tanning bed = damage of 3-5 hours of
natural sun
Ohio HB 131 Sec:4713.50
 Passed the House summer 2014
 Tanning bed regulations
 Over 18: must obtain consent from individual
 Between 16- 18 years old: must obtain consent from
parent – good for 90 days; parent must remain on
premises; no more than 45 sessions in 90 day period
 Prohibited for children under 16 years of age
