MR imaging of transarticular skip metastases from distal femoral osteosarcoma.

We describe a case in which magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of a distal femoral osteosarcoma showed transarticular skip metastases in the proximal tibia. These lesions were not found by conventional radiography, bone scintigraphy, or CT. Since detection of transarticular skip metastases has an important influence on surgical management, MR imaging of metaphyseal osteosarcomas should always include the bone on the opposite side of the joint.

Small pediatric renal neoplasms detected by CT.

We describe three children without renal symptoms who had small solitary renal neoplasms detected by CT during a 1 year period. One patient had a benign Wilms tumor variant, another had a renal cell carcinoma, and the third had a solitary focus of renal lymphoma. Although CT helps in preoperative tumor staging and in evaluating the contralateral kidney, it usually cannot distinguish among the various pediatric renal neoplasms. Accordingly, surgical exploration is usually required when a small renal tumor is discovered in a child. When confined to the kidney, small Wilms tumors and renal cell carcinomas are often amenable to local resection or partial nephrectomy.

An estimate of the need for environmental health academicians in the workforce.

In July 1987, a workshop was held to evaluate the environmental health workforce. The workshop was sponsored by the Bureau of Health Professions. Health Resources and Services Administration of the Public Health Service. Participants were drawn from State and local agencies, Federal agencies, industry, and academia. Estimates of workforce needs were based on background information and informed consensus judgments of workshop participants. The final report of the workshop was published in January 1988. The authors synthesize some of the consensus judgements and review data from a position paper developed for the workshop. The supply, demand, and projected need for new academicians in environmental health on both graduate and undergraduate levels through 1992 are estimated. These estimates are based on the need for persons trained in the various environmental health subspecialties identified during the workshop. Outlined are the number and educational backgrounds of new faculty required. The types of new training programs that are required to meet the needs for environmental health specialists through 1992 are discussed.
