ABSTRACTChromosome 15 duplication has been associated with a number of psychiatric illnesses including psychosis and autism. However, literature on association with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is scant. This case report describes a patient with chromosome 15 duplication diagnosed with ADHD in our neurodevelopmental clinic. The possible biological underpinnings are discussed along with possible challenges in diagnosis and management. The need for better understanding ADHD as a behavioral phenotype in such cases along with need for tailored management strategies is emphasized.

Robust Evidence

ObjectiveThe etiology of nipple pain in breastfeeding women can be challenging for healthcare professionals. The most common cause of nipple pain or damage in breastfeeding women is poor latch and positioning of the baby at the breast (Duncan, 2015). However, when position and attachment is not identified as the cause, controversy exists as to the etiology of the pain with nipple or breast thrush identified as a probable suspect.MethodThe literature was reviewed to explore the diagnosis and management of thrush in breastfeeding women.ResultsThere is a lack of robust evidence in the literature to support an accurate diagnosis of candida as the cause of nipple and/or deep breast pain in breastfeeding women. Diagnosis and management strategies vary between the USA and Europe.ConclusionIt is important that clinicians supporting and working with breastfeeding women are aware of the differential diagnosis for both breast and nipple pain, as well as utilize their clinical skills effectively to offer the correct treatment and management to women presenting with candida like symptoms (Amir et al., 2013, Wilson-Clay and Hoover, 2017). Culture and sensitivity of mothers expressed milk may be supportive of a diagnosis; however, analysis of mothers’ milk is not without its challenges. Breastfeeding women should not be treated for potential candida infection with a traditional clinical examination alone.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and its clinical manifestation as lower urinarytract symptoms (LUTS), is a major health concern for aging men. There havebeen significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of BPH in recentyears. There has been a renewed interest in medical therapies and less invasivesurgical techniques. As a consequence, the treatment needs of men withmild to moderate LUTS without evidence of prostate cancer can now be accomplishedin a primary care setting. There are differences in the way urologistsand primary care physicians approach the evaluation and management of LUTSdue to BPH, which is not reflected in Canadian Urological Association (CUA)and American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines. A “shared care” approachinvolving urologists and primary care physicians represents a reasonable andviable model for the care of men suffering from LUTS. The essence of the modelcentres around educating and communicating effectively with the patient onBPH. This article provides primary care physicians with an overview of the diagnosticand management strategies outlined in recent CUA and AUA guidelinesso that they may be better positioned to effectively deal with this patient population.It is now apparent that we must move away from the urologist as thefirst-line physician, and allow primary care physicians to accept a new role inthe diagnosis and management of BPH.

BackgroundCurrently there is major lack of agreement on the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and lung cancer (LC). Our aim was to identify variations in diagnostic and management strategies across different institutions and provide rationale for a consensus statement on this issue.MethodsThis was a joint-survey by ERS Assemblies 8, 11 and 12. The survey consisted of 25 questions.ResultsFour hundred ninety four (n=494) physicians from 68 different countries and 5 continents responded to the survey. 94% of participants were pulmonologists and 1.8% thoracic surgeons and 1.9% oncologists. 97.7% involved MDT approaches on diagnosis and management. Regular low-dose HRCT scan was used by 49.5% of the respondents to screen for LC in IPF. PET scan and EBUS bronchoscopy is performed by 60% and 88%, to diagnose nodular lesions with mediastinal lymphadenopathy in patients with advanced and mild IPF, respectively. 83% of respondents continue anti-fibrotics following LC diagnosis; safety precautions during surgical interventions including low-tidal volume are applied by 67%. Stereotactic radiotherapy is used to treat patients with advanced IPF (DLCO<35%) and otherwise operable NSCLC by 54% of respondents and doublet platinum regimens and immunotherapy for metastatic disease by 25% and 31.9%, respectively. Almost all participants (93%) replied that a consensus statement for the management of these patients is highly warranted.ConclusionThe diagnosis and management of IPF-LC is heterogeneous with most respondents calling for a consensus statement.
