Reexamining the associate degree curriculum. Assessing the need for community concepts.

Significant changes taking place in health care delivery in our community in Louisiana have led faculty to reexamine the associate degree nursing curriculum. We recognized the trend toward the decreased need for inpatient care and the greater need for outpatient care and home care in the community. In addition, we noted the need for nursing care to assist the elderly in the management of chronic illness and provide education on health promotion and disease prevention.

Two cases of hereditary optic atrophy associated with an enzymatic defect of the respiratory chain.

Hereditary optic atrophy is a significant cause of optic atrophy in children. We report two male siblings who suffered profound irreversible loss of vision over a 2-month period. Neither patient had any prior ophthalmic problems. Both siblings had a metabolic disorder characterized by transient episodes of ataxia and paresis, whereas in one brother a slight increase of lactate in blood and cerebrospinal fluid was detected during an acute episode. Respiratory chain defect in complex I was confirmed in one patient.
