Cervical manifestations of fibrosing mediastinitis: a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma.

Fibroinflammatory and fibrosclerosing lesions involving the head and neck outside the thyroid and orbit are exceedingly rare. We present two cases of fibroinflammatory and fibrosclerosing lesions originating in the mediastinum which extended superiorly to involve soft tissues of the neck. These cases indicate that a subset of fibroinflammatory and fibrosclerosing lesions found in the head and neck originate in the mediastinum.

The value of mentoring in nursing leadership: a descriptive study.

The author of this descriptive study explores the general characteristics of mentoring relationships and their effects on professional lives as perceived by nurse administrators. An adult developmental theoretical framework was used. The sample consisted of 367, members of the California Society for Nursing Service Administrators, a group of top-level nurse administrators. The overwhelmingly positive responses supported the literature, which described a variety of significant positive developments as a result of mentoring relationships. Ninety-seven percent (n = 356) indicated changes had occurred in their lives, with a change in self-confidence indicated most frequently. More than eighty percent (n = 294) indicated the relationship was valuable. Enhancing formal and informal mentoring relationships particularly in the nursing leadership arena is important.

Aqueductal obstruction in sarcoidosis.

A 50-year-old woman presented with a severe obstructive hydrocephalus, only temporarily relieved by shunts. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was suspected but never proven. Autopsy revealed multisystem sarcoidosis as well as widespread involvement of the CNS. The cause of hydrocephalus was established as occlusion of the aqueduct by subependymal granulomas and massive gliosis obliterating the lumen.
