Innovation through collaboration.

In light of the Canadian Nurses Association's position that the baccalaureate degree would be the requirement for entry to practice by the year 2000, plus evidence of a rapidly changing health care system, changing client characteristics, and on-going economic constraints, administrators of nursing programs in Edmonton recognized the need for a more process-oriented curriculum to prepare nurses to be more capable of facing future challenges. Not surprisingly, limited funds and differing human and material resources meant they could not complete a major curriculum change individually. Collaboration proved to be the key that increased access to baccalaureate nursing education in Alberta.

Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Risk of subsequent malignant neoplasms.

We conducted a noncurrent prospective study of all Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents who had had a lower-extremity venogram, pulmonary angiogram, or lung scan performed because of suspicion of deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary emboli. One hundred thirteen cancer-free patients were followed for 386 person-years from the date of procedure. Nine subsequent cancers were observed compared with 4.5 expected (relative risk, 2.0; 95% confidence interval, 0.9 to 3.8), using total cancer incidence rates for the Rochester, Minn, population. Five hundred seventeen cancer-free controls were followed for 2072 person-years. Twenty subsequent cancers were observed compared with 11.6 expected, yielding a relative risk of 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.1 to 2.7). When cases and controls were compared directly, no statistically significant difference in cancer-free survival was found.

Angioendotheliomatosis associated with histiocytic lymphoma. Response to systemic chemotherapy.

A patient with cutaneous lesions consistent histologically, ultrastructurally, and immunohistochemically with angioendotheliomatosis is described. The cutaneous lesions appeared 14 months prior to the diagnosis of histiocytic lymphoma of the retroperitoneum. Both the cutaneous lesions and the lymphoma responded well to systemic chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, hydroxydoxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone.

Use of duodenal drainage in the diagnosis of acalculous gallbladder disease.

Because of overreliance on oral cholecystograms, we have re-evaluated a little used laboratory test, duodenal drainage. In a series of 56 patients with normal oral cholecystograms and upper GI series who underwent duodenal drainage and cholecystectomy, 53 (95%) were found to have positive microscopic examinations. We think duodenal drainage is a safe, simple test which should be used as an adjunct to history and physical examination and oral cholecystography. In regard to clinical follow-up, 96 per cent of patients followed were judged to have excellent-to-good results.
