Chronic Use of Abemaciclib Leading to Breathlessness and Demise: A Case Report
Checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP) is a potentially fatal disease that can occur at any duration of treatment. Patients may present with vague respiratory symptoms such as progressive cough, dyspnea, and decreased activity tolerance. Among checkpoint inhibitors, CIP is higher in programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors. An 82-year-old Latina woman with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-negative lobular carcinoma of the right breast had been treated by partial mastectomy followed by adjuvant hormonal treatment and radiation in 2014. Then CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil) was followed by letrozole and abemaciclib, PD-1, therapy in 2022. In 2023, the patient presented with a dry cough and worsening dyspnea with a new oxygen requirement. She was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of multifocal pneumonia and sepsis. She unfortunately developed rapidly higher oxygen requirements and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and was ultimately presumed to have CIP. She was intubated on hospital day 6 and extubated on day 12 with no plans for reintubation and do-not-resuscitate status. She subsequently had demise after a period of respiratory arrest. CIP is rare but associated with fatal outcomes, especially with the development of ARDS. It is important, along the course of cancer treatment and goals of care discussion, to educate patients and their families on possible side effects of chemotherapy and involve specialists early with the goal of lowering mortality rates. Most patients do not survive this unfortunate progression of disease.

The Chevalier d'Eon and his worlds : gender, espionage and politics in the eighteenth century
Cross-dressing author, envoy, soldier and spy Charles d'Eon de Beaumont's unusual career fascinated his contemporaries and continues to attract historians, novelists, playwrights, filmmakers, image makers, cultural theorists and those concerned with manifestations of the extraordinary. D'Eon's significance as a historical figure was already being debated more than 45 years before his death. ÃÂ Not surprisingly, such sensational material has attracted the attention of enthusiasts, scholars and literateurs to 'the strange case of the chevalier d'Eon'. He has also attracted the attention of psychologists and sexologists, and for most of the last century his gender transformation has been viewed through a Freudian lens. His cross-dressing, it was usually assumed, must have a psychosexual explanation. Until the second half of the twentieth century the terms 'Eonist' and 'Eonism' were the standard English words for transvestites and transvestism respectively, but 'Eonism' was also, thanks to Havelock Ellis, widely regarded as a psychological condition or compulsion. However, in the mid-twentieth century, new ideas about gender-identity disorders led to d'Eon being redefined not as a transvestite, but a transsexual - a person who considers their sex to have been 'misassigned'. ÃÂ ÃÂ The essays in this collection contribute to d'Eon's rehabilitation as a figure worthy of scholarly attention and display a variety of disciplinary approaches. Drawing on new research into d'Eon's life, this volume offers original and nuanced readings of how a gender identity could come to be negotiated over time. ÃÂ.

'the whole english stage to be seen for sixpence': theatrical actors and acting styles in british cinema, 1908-1918
This thesis introduces the notion that, contrary to received wisdom, much British film production during the 1910s was commercially successful in its home market, and constituted a popular national cinema. It specifically forwards the theory that the prominence of theatrical actors and theatrical performance styles played an important role in the revitalisation of British cinema in this period, to the degree that their influence helped to stimulate a significantly increased amount of new production activity, critical kudos and audience appeal. As well as charting the ways in which established theatrical performers were employed by British manufacturing concerns during this period, it examines various attempts at creating a native cinematic star system and shows how these were partly determined by particular theatrical legacies, and thus foregrounded distinctive and often contradictory qualities by comparison with similar promotional strategies used by American companies. Close textual analysis of surviving films from the period reveals that a gestural style of acting derived from contemporary theatrical practice was both formally more complex and historically more resilient than most previous discussions of early screen performance have tended to suggest. The thesis acknowledges that some of these efforts to transpose prestigious theatrical traditions to the cinema in the 1910s were principally concerned to forge a vicarious association with cultural hereditaments which already had a privileged status within accepted definitions of the national heritage. In such cases, their energies were focused upon the creation of a recognisably national cinematic product aimed at educated middle class patrons. However, it also concludes that many of these vehicles for actors predominantly associated with the theatre were just as frequently selected and adapted to successfully address lower-middle- and working-class audience constituencies during this formative period of film history.
