Analysing changes in the presence of informative right censoring caused by death and withdrawal.

Several approaches for estimating and comparing the rates of change of a continuous variable in two treatment groups in the presence of informative right censoring are reviewed and compared. The comparisons are made under different models for the censoring probabilities and various types of treatment effects. Some recommendations are discussed regarding the application of these approaches to the different settings.

The nurse's role in promoting breast awareness.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer affects up to one in 12 women in the UK. Breast awareness, which is advocated in place of routine breast examination, involves women becoming more familiar with their bodies. CONCLUSION: Nurses have a vital role to play in encouraging women to become more breast aware. Their health promotion activities in this area can have an important impact on the uptake of breast screening initiatives.

alpha-Methyldopamine, a key intermediate in the metabolic disposition of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine in vivo in dog and monkey.

Metabolites of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine in the urine of dogs and monkeys were separated by gas-liquid chromatography as their trifluoroacetyl and/or n-butyl ether derivatives and identified by comparison of the chromatographic and mass spectrometric behavior of these derivatives with those of synthetic compounds. The metabolites identified in dog and monkey urine were alpha-methyldopamine, 3-O-methyl-alpha-methyldopamine, and 3,4-dihydroxybenzyl methyl ketone. The monkey urine also contained 3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl methyl ketone and 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoic acid present as a glucuronide and/or sulfate conjugate, whereas the dog urine had 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid present as a conjugate other than glucuronide and sulfate. The phenolic metabolites in both species were present free and as glucuronide and/or sulfate conjugates.

3-O-methyl-alpha-methyldopamine, a urinary metabolite of p-methoxyamphetamine in dog and monkey.

Metabolites of p-methoxyamphetamine in the urine of dogs and monkeys were separated by gas-liquid chromatography as their trifluoroacetyl derivatives, and identified by comparison of the chromatographic and mass spectrometric behavior of these derivatives with those of authentic synthetic compounds. The three new metabolites identified in both dogs and monkeys were 3-O-methyl-alpha-methyldopamine, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl methyl ketone, and 4-hydroxybenzyl methyl ketone. A fourth new metabolite was tentatively identified in the absence of the appropriate reference standard.

The nurse as an educator.

The rapidly changing healthcare system offers challenges and opportunities for nurse educators. Increasing evidence of health promotion/consumer empowerment, cost containment, increase in chronic illness, and the continued expansion of medical technology requires nurses with broad educational competencies. These competencies include preceptoring, patient education, and formal presentation skills. In this article, the authors describe the development and implementation of a multifaceted staff development curriculum designed to support the nurse as an educator.
