Adrenocortical activity in disseminated malignant disease in relation to prognosis.

Adrenocortical activity has been assessed in patients with inoperable carcinoma of the bronchus or with disseminated malignant disease of other organs. The mean basal plasma cortisol level was higher in the former than in the latter and both were higher than the controls. Each had abnormally high midnight levels, particularly those with oat cell carcinoma of the bronchus. After the administration of a single dose of dexamethasone both groups suppressed poorly compared with the controls. Failure to suppress was associated with a poor prognosis.

Bird's nest filter causing symptomatic hydronephrosis following transmural penetration of the inferior vena cava.

We report a case of symptomatic hydronephrosis caused by transcaval penetration of a Bird's Nest filter. Perforation of the wall of the inferior vena cava (IVC) following insertion of a caval filter is a well-recognized complication. Whilst two cases of hydronephrosis have been described with Greenfield filters, no case involving a Bird's Nest filter has been reported previously.

A collaborative end-of-life care curriculum.

Death and dying in America has received limited attention in medical education. The Southern Arizona VA Health Care System and the University of Arizona have collaborated with three nonprofit community hospice programs to develop an end-of-life care curriculum. This formal and comprehensive program is offered as a one-month elective to senior medical students, residents and fellows. The goal of the program is to improve clinical skills in caring for the dying patient and foster research in palliative and supportive care.
