Evaluation of bronchospasm during excretory urography.

Mean pulmonary function was significantly decreased in 57 patients during excretory urography. Patients with a history of allergy had significantly greater mean decreases in flow rates than those without. Twelve did not have significant decreases in pulmonary function after needle puncture and intravenous injection of 5% dextrose in water. Eight healthy subjects did not have significant mean decreases after intravenous injection of 5% saline. Most patients undergoing excretory urography have bronchospasm that is greater in magnitude in those with a history of allergy.

Cardiomegaly as a cause of nonuniform pulmonary artery perfusion.

In patients with cardiomegaly, a common cause of nonuniform pulmonary artery perfusion on pulmonary arteriograms is compression of the left lower lobe arteries by the enlarged heart, an effect which is accentuated by gravity in the supine position. This may impede flow in such a manner as to erroneously suggest the presence of pulmonary emboli. Subselective left lower lobe arteriography with the patient in the right posterior oblique position will allow better anatomic definition of the vessels in this region and result in fewer equivocal or false positive studies.

Roentgenographic manifestations of methadone-induced pulmonary edema.

Twenty cases of methadone-induced pulmonary edema confirmed by clinical, laboratory and roentgenographic findings were extensively reviewed and the roentgenographic manifestations defined in terms of patterns, distribution, and duration of the process. Drug tolerance is a major factor in determining the severity of toxicity. Roentgenographic clearing in 48 hours or less, clinical improvement and pathogen-free sputum aspirates serve to differentiate edema from pneumonia.

Emergency room radiology: a format for instructing house staff.

Seminars covering the use of radiographic studies in the emergency room were given to the house staff. Greater efficiency in ordering indicated studies was achieved, and fewer repeat studies and unnecessary radiographic examinations were ordered. In addition, the radiologist and his staff became more aware of clinical problems in the emergency room. The authors feel that a series of seminars of this type can have a beneficial effect on general patient care.

Chest radiographic-pathologic correlation in adult leukemia patients.

A radiographic-pathologic correlation study of adult leukemia patients was conducted to determine the frequency and radiographic appearance of leukemic involvement and related complications within the chest. One hundred thirteen autopsy protocols were examined. Radiographic correlation was obtained in 60 of these cases. Autopsy pulmonary findings included hemorrhage in 74% of the cases, infectious infiltrates in 67%, edema or congestion in 57%, and leukemic infiltration in 26%. Only 5% of the chest radiographs were normal. Alveolar or interstitial abnormalities were identified in 90%, pleural effusion in 40%, and lymphadenopathy in 17%. Correlation demonstrated pulmonary infection to be by far the most common cause of radiographic opacity. Because of its frequent occurrence, high associated mortality, and potential reversibility, pneumonia must always be considered first in the differential diagnosis of radiographic opacity in these patients.

Recovering from cancer: a nursing intervention program recognizing survivorship.

The Oncology Nursing Task Force of the Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center and the local county unit of the American Cancer Society jointly sponsored "EXPO '88: Recovering from Cancer" on the first National Cancer Survivors' Day held on June 5, 1988. The event--a day of survivor recognition and celebration, education, and support-provided a setting for oncology nurses to participate in a program recognizing cancer survivorship and enhancing awareness of survivors' issues. Program goals, development, planning, evaluation, and implications for nursing are discussed.

Double-blind comparison of iodamide and diatrizoate for excretory urography.

A double-blind comparison of meglumine iodamide and Renografin 60 (52% meglumine diatrizoate and 8% sodium diatrizoate) for bolus excretory urography was performed. Doses of 0.8 cc/kg. to a maximum of 55 cc were administered to fifty patients, twenty-five receiving each drug.There is a suggestion that iodamide may be superior to diatrizoate in pyelocalyceal opacification while being equal to diatrizoate in parenchymal opacification and in types and severity of side-effects.
