Meningeal involvement in early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Two patients with early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia were found to have meningeal involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by cerebral spinal fluid cytology in the first patient and by flow cytometric analysis in the second patient. Both patients responded well to intrathecal chemotherapy and cranial irradiation. Central nervous system infiltration by tumor cells has rarely been described in chronic lymphocytic leukemia but must be considered in all patients regardless of stage who present with lethargy, dementia, or focal neurologic signs.

Telephone transmission of fetal monitor data.

A telephone system was established to transmit fetal monitor data to a tertiary center from small rural hospitals with limited experience in interpreting such tracings. This type of program fosters sound obstetric management and appropriate therapeutic intervention of monitored patients in rural areas. We believe that similar service can be established by other tertiary hospitals.

The effectiveness of services for people with learning disabilities.

The government white paper The New NHS has placed emphasis on service effectiveness and expects it to be measured. Clinical governance is expected to provide robust internal mechanisms for this. A National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness will provide a lead on clinical and cost-effectiveness and a Commission for Health Improvement oversee the quality of clinical services (Department of Health, 1997). Signposts for Success (NHS Executive, 1998) sets out good practice guidance for commissioners and providers of health services for people with learning disabilities. This states that its aim is to deliver 'person-centred services, equality of access, support to use services and social inclusion', person-centred services being defined as those that put 'service users' wishes and needs at the centre'. This article looks at how one trust is trying to meet these requirements following this guidance.
