A unique approach to multidisciplinary cancer education.

BACKGROUND: Almost every health care worker, regardless of specialty, interacts with individuals who have histories of cancer. Some health care workers are relatively unfamiliar with the cancer experience and those who are familiar with it are interested in additional information. METHOD: The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center Education Subcommittee designed a monthly educational program titled Cancer Connections: A Multidisciplinary Update. The goals of this program were to provide: 1) up-to-date information about cancer issues, 2) a better understanding of various team members' roles in caring for people with cancer, 3) insight into patients' responses to the diagnosis and treatment of their cancers, and 4) greater awareness of the resources available to cancer patients and their families. Each session consists of a "panel" of presenters: three healthcare professionals and a patient. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The success of this program is reflected in the regular high attendance and consistently positive evaluations of the participants.

Acclimation of whole-plant Acacia farnesiana transpiration to carbon dioxide concentration.

Transpiration per unit leaf area of Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd. plants grown at a CO2 concentration ([CO2]) of 385 micromol x mol(-1) was about twice that of plants grown at 980 micromol x mol(-1). However, whes plants grown for more than a year at 980 micromol x mol(-1) were exposed to 380 micromol x mol(-1) for 9 days, they transpired at half the rate of those that had been grown at 380 micromol x mol(-1)1. Similarly, plants grown at 380 micromol x mol(-1), when exposed to 980 micromol x mol(-1), transpired at twice the rate of those grown at 980 micromol x mol(-1). Thus, the effects of elevated [CO2] on whole-plant transpiration, like those on photosynthesis, respiration and stomatal conductance, cannot reliably be extrapolated from measurements made during short-term exposure to elevated [CO2].

A place for oncology in medical undergraduate teaching.

Cancer is a common disease, and it is argued that integrated teaching of the problems of the cancer patient deserves a place in the undergraduate medical curriculum. A model is presented which has now been used for 3 years and appears to be operating successfully at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School.
