Cutaneous metastatic lung cancer: literature review and report of a tumor on the nose from a large cell undifferentiated carcinoma.

Cutaneous metastatic disease is a prognostically important diagnosis. We report the case of a 64-year-old man who had an uncommon histologic type of lung cancer--a large cell undifferentiated carcinoma, which was metastatic to the skin of the nose. The relative frequency of cutaneous metastasis is similar to that of primary cancers. Cutaneous disease as the first sign of metastasis is most often seen in cancer of the lung. However, its appearance as a large tumor on the nose, which was observed in this case, is unusual.

Pharmacokinetics of ceftiofur sodium in exotic and domestic avian species.

The pharmacokinetics of ceftiofur sodium were determined in domestic chicks, turkey poults, adult cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus), and adult orange-winged Amazon parrots (Amazona amazonica) after subcutaneous (chicks and turkey poults and intramuscular (i.m.) dosing (cockatiels and Amazon parrots). Turkey poult data were best fit to a single exponential model with disappearance half-lives (t1/2) of 8.6, 7.4 and 5.6 h after doses of 0.12, 0.24 and 0.48 mg ceftiofur free acid equivalents (CFAE)/poult, respectively. Data from chicks were best fit to a biexponential model with primary and secondary half-lives of 2.2 and 7.5, 3.7 and 6.8, and 3.8 and 5.3 h after doses of 0.04, 0.08 and 0.16 mg CFAE/chick, respectively. Cockatiel and Amazon parrot data were best fit to a biexponential model with primary and secondary half-lives of 0.28 and 2.5, and 0.93 and 7.9 h, respectively, after doses of 10 mg CFAE/kg body weight. The maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration time curve (AUC) in chicks and poults were dose-proportional. The Cmax for cockatiels was 5.2 micrograms/mL and for Amazon parrots was 11 micrograms/mL. Clearance in cockatiels and Amazon parrots were 11.3 and 3.8 mL/min/kg, respectively, and reflected the much greater AUC seen in Amazon parrots. Clearance values of ceftiofur were similar in chicks and Amazon parrots, slightly greater in turkey poults and greatest in cockatiels. These results indicate that pharmacokinetic differences must be considered when establishing dosage regimens for different avian species.

Disaster strikes the caregivers. A lesson for managers.

The caregiving team is the core of effective management practice. Home care managers need to remember that caring for the caregivers--seeing them as victims as well as care providers and allowing them the same time for shock, grief, and recovery--allows those folks to carry on with the business of home care.

Case study. ESRD after living-related donation.

The patient met three of the four expected outcomes. He has in the past and is currently making informed decisions. reguarding his health care. Momentarily, he is demonstrating effective, positive coping strategies and problem-solving techniques. However, the fourth, and probably most critical outcome, is not being met. A.J. has not remained free of complications secondary to his kidney donation. It is estimated that he is facing ESRD, and all related medical and nursing regimens in less than 1 year. Additionally related to his elective nephrectomy, he will experience the loss of his 12-year military career and associated benefits. Although the nursing interventions were instrumental in assisting A.J. and his wife to cope with his acute situation, they now face the fears and anxieties of lifetime chronic illness. Theoretically, this patient may have experienced chronic renal failure at some point in his life, but the nursing intervention could have been approached as a pre-ESRD patient, in lieu of his status as a postliving related donor patient.

A multitrait-multimethod analysis of variance of teachers' ratings of aggression, hyperactivity, and inattention.

The convergent and discriminant validities of three teacher rating scale measures of the traits of hyperactivity, aggression, and inattention were explored, using the multitrait-multimethod matrix approach of Campbell and Fiske (1959), as well as an analysis of variance procedure (Stanley, 1961). In the present study teachers rated children from their elementary school classrooms on the above traits. The results provided strong evidence for convergent validity. Data also indicated that these traits can be reliable differentiated by teachers, suggesting that research aimed at better understanding the unique contributions of hyperactivity, aggression, and inattention is warranted. The respective benefits of analyzing multitrait-multimethod matrices by employing the ANOVA procedure or by using the Campbell and Fiske (1959) criteria were discussed.
