| Dear
Colleague,
 September
is Leukemia & Lymphoma Awareness Month. Test your knowledge
related to blood cancers and their treatments with the following
questions:
- What is the difference
between Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?
- Which type of lymphocytes
provides cell-mediated immunity?
- IVIG is FDA-approved
to treat 6 clinical conditions. How many can you name?
- Are chemotherapy-resistant
gloves necessary when handling excreta from patients who
are receiving therapy?
- How can we, as nurses,
support fathers of children diagnosed with ALL?
Don't miss our next enewsletter
about heart disease,
with new articles and CEs.

vigabatrin (Sabril) oral
solution and tablets - to treat infantile spasms in children 1 month to
2 years (oral solution) and as adjunctive therapy to treat complex partial
seizures in adults (tablets) who have not responded adequately to previous
drug therapies. The drug will be available only through a restricted distribution
program because of the risk of permanent vision damage.
