Validating audiovisual reviews as a strategy for teaching behavioral medicine to primary care residents.

A study examining the usefulness of audiovisual reviews (AVR's) as a method of teaching behavioral medicine was done with family medicine residents and faculty at the UNC School of Medicine. A set of educational goals for family medicine residency training was established. In a survey faculty and residents were asked to rate the importance of teaching each goal during residency and the appropriateness of AVR's for teaching it. Observers recorded the content of discussion in 18 regularly scheduled AVR's. In survey results both faculty and residents agreed that AVR's are best suited for teaching behavioral medicine skills. However, there were different goals, depending on level of training. Content analysis of the observed AVR's showed that the four most valued teaching goals comprised 50% of the topics discussed in actual AVR's. Results of this study validate the use of AVR's as a teaching strategy for behavioral medicine skills.

Labor education programs in health and safety.

Labor health and safety programs encourage workers to take an active part in making the workplace safe. The authors describe the growing need for preparing workers to participate in prevention efforts, the role of training in addressing this need, educational principles and traditions that contribute to empowerment education, and a step-by-step process that is required to achieve the goals of worker involvement and empowerment.

Pentavalent 99mTc DMSA: uptake into a variety of human rhabdomyosarcoma xenografts.

BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyosarcoma is a common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood. While Ga is currently the most accurate modality for imaging residual or recurrent tumour its dosimetry is unfavourable. Pentavalent 99mTc DMSA [99mTc (V) DMSA] has been shown to accumulate in this tumour in a limited number of clinical cases. METHODS: Biodistribution of 99mTc (V) DMSA was determined in non-tumour bearing BALB-C mice. Operative specimens from four clinically 67Ga avid tumours were xenografted into nude mice and allowed to reach a significant size. Biodistribution studies were performed after the injection of 99mTc (V) DMSA in all animals and 125I HSA and 67Ga in a limited number of animals. RESULTS: None of the tumours investigated demonstrated significant 99mTc (V) DMSA accumulation. Biodistribution was identical in tumour and non-tumour bearing animals. CONCLUSIONS: Rhabdomyo-sarcoma xenografts do not demonstrate significant uptake of 99mTc (V) DMSA.
