Detection of tricuspid regurgitation by Tc-99m DTPA renal scintigraphy.
Tc-99m DTPA renal scintigraphy is an established technique for evaluating renal perfusion and function. A patient is described with clinically unsuspected tricuspid regurgitation detected during the perfusion phase of renal scintigraphy and confirmed by Doppler echocardiography. A review of extrarenal anomalies detected during renal blood flow imaging is presented.

Impaired skin integrity related to radiation therapy.
Skin reactions associated with radiation therapy require frequent nursing assessment and intervention. Preventive interventions and early management can minimize the severity of the skin reaction. With the understanding of the pathogenesis of radiation skin reactions, the ET nurse can determine who is at risk and then implement preventive measures. Because radiation treatment is fractionated, skin reactions do not usually occur until midway through the course of therapy and will subside within a few weeks after completion of radiation. Many patients and their families still fear that radiation causes severe burns. Teaching and anticipatory guidance by the ET nurse is needed to assist patients and their families to overcome this fear, and to educate them on preventive skin care regimens.
