Magnetic resonance imaging of dissection in pseudocoarctation of the aorta.

Two patients with pseudocoarctation complicated by dissection are presented. They are the first cases in which pseudocoarctation with dissection have been imaged by magnetic resonance (MR). MR imaging is an excellent noninvasive modality in the evaluation of dissection in pseudocoarctation of the aorta.

Nurses' beliefs about family involvement in a children's hospital.

Children's hospitals throughout North America have implemented many changes during the past 15 years. In recognition of the central role of parents in the lives of their children, policies and procedures have been implemented to enable parents to participate in various aspects of their children's care. However, the extent to which attitudes of nurses have changed to support a more active parental role is less evident. In a project to formulate a philosophy of nursing for a children's hospital, 22 nurses were asked a wide range of questions about nursing and family-centered care. Although all nurses expressed explicit support for the concept of family-centered care, some of their practices and beliefs suggested otherwise. This article describes their responses and suggests recommendations for future research, education, and nursing practice.
