Metanephric adenoma of the kidney: histologic, immunohistochemical and DNA content analysis study. A case report.

Metanephric adenoma is an uncommon and distinct clinicopathologic entity, recently described among benign epithelial kidney tumors. The authors report a case of a metanephric adenoma in a 70-year-old man. Because of its benign clinical course, it is important to distinguish metanephric adenoma from renal cell carcinomas and adult Wilms' tumor for which it is usually mistaken. Clinical, pathologic features and diagnostic problems of the case are discussed.

A system for automated procedure documentation.

Quantitative information regarding competency in performing procedures is invaluable in attesting to a house officer's abilities when assessments need to be made. Thus, the means by which procedures, proficiency, and experience can be recorded and organized in an automated fashion need not be any further away than the nearest micro-computer. The procedure documenting system (PDS) automates the documenting of procedures and quantitative information pertaining to these procedures, and shortens the time demanded of the house officer to document procedures from a mean of 5.5 to 1.9 min. This paper is a description of the work done to automate the recording of procedures performed by housestaff at a teaching hospital and the acceptance by housestaff. This computer program takes the specific information and places it into a specialized database so that house officers can have detailed documentation attesting to their proficiency in various procedures. In addition, the program director can access the database to document the quantity of procedures to which an individual house officer has attained competence.

[Effects of nimodipine on mental deterioration in subjects with chronic cerebrovascular pathology].

In order to assess the efficacy of Nimodipine against a polymorphous pathology, such as chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency, the authors studied 96 subjects affected by chronic cerebrovascular diseases aged between 65 and 85 years old. The various symptoms were evaluated individually using tests and subjects were then divided into two groups on the basis of overall results. All subjects were followed for six months and then reassessed using the above-mentioned tests at the end of the study. From results obtained, it appears that Nimodipine is a useful tool for controlling the most common symptoms associated with mental deterioration in subjects affected by chronic cerebrovascular disorders.
