Despite recent advances in diagnosis and therapy, arterial and venous thrombosis remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Preventing and treating arterial and venous thrombosis represent one of the major goals in MPNs. The prothrombotic phenotype of MPNs is the result of a complex interplay between several components. Neutrophils, platelets, red blood cells (RBCs) and endothelial cells assume an activated phenotype in MPNs and undergo morphologic and metabolic changes that render these cells prothrombotic. These changes are in part the result of alterations induced by MPN initiating, driving mutations as well as the effect of extrinsic factors that stem from cell interactions as well as the inflammatory environment and rheological properties that characterize MPNs. In this review, we address current management issues in MPNs and provide an update on recent understanding of the pathogenesis of thrombosis in MPNs. We also address how lessons learned from other thrombo-inflammatory conditions can further inform and improve management of thrombosis in MPNs. Based on the above data and recent discoveries and developments, we discuss potential novel targets and therapeutic approaches to tackle the challenge of thrombosis in MPNs.

This case study has been developed to facilitate discussion about current supply chain management issues and potential solutions. The scenario presented in this case is very representative of the pressures experienced by supply chain managers. Namely, the need to reduce costs while maintaining quality and customer service. This case presents some unusual challenges and constraints that are unique to the cruise line industry. These constraints can provide an opportunity to explore new supply chain paradigms.

TitleKiwanis Pancake Day – a service operations management case study.Subject areaOperations management.Study level/applicabilityUndergraduate and MBA OM courses.Case overviewKiwanis International is a global service organization dedicated to improving the world by helping children. The Durant, Oklahoma chapter holds its primary annual fundraiser the first Tuesday of November, which is also Election Day. The chapter sells and serves fresh pancakes throughout the day; therefore, the event is the Kiwanis Pancake Day. While serving in his first Pancake Day, Robert Howard, a new Kiwanian, notices service operations management issues such as long lines, spiky demand, and customers leaving before being served. Based on his management experience in the grocery business and his academic training in queuing systems, Robert performs an analysis of the system with the purpose of improving service operations.Expected learning outcomes Perform queuing analysis., Understand demand management., Explain the psychology of waiting.Supplementary materialsTeaching notes and spreadsheet‐based multiple‐server simulator.
