Going the distance.
Over the past ten years, 4,500 nurses have embarked on distance learning courses run by the RCN Institute. In addition to increased knowledge, many have gained in self-confidence. Students have ranged in age from 21 to 72. The majority have caring commitments for children or older relatives. The institute suggests that the backing of partners is essential to success.

متن کاملHyperacute rejection following lung transplantation.
Although hyperacute rejection has been clinically and pathologically fully described in recipients of other solid organ transplants, to our knowledge, there have been no previous fully documented cases in recipients of lung transplants. This case of clinical hyperacute rejection is corroborated by a positive, donor-antigen-specific IgG-mediated lymphocytotoxic crossmatch (LXM), and demonstrated...
متن کاملBronchiolitis obliterans following lung transplantation.
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the main and late chronic complication after lung transplantation. It remains a major impediment to long-term outcome. Unfortunately, the survival rate of lung transplant recipients lags behind that of other organ transplant recipients, and BOS accounts for more than 30% of all mortality after the third year following lung transplantation. Most recent ...
متن کاملChylopericardium following orthotopic lung transplantation.
Chylopericardium is an uncommon condition, reported to occur following routine cardiac surgery, orthotopic heart transplantation, cardiac trauma, intrathoracic tumors, or infection. It has not, to date, been reported following uncomplicated orthotopic lung transplantation. This article describes chylopericardium following bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation.
متن کاملSurvival impact of lung transplantation for COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the primary indication for lung transplantation (LTx), but survival benefit is still under debate. We analysed the survival impact of LTx in COPD with a new approach, using the BODE (body mass index, airway obstruction, dyspnoea, exercise capacity) index. We retrospectively reviewed 54 consecutive lung transplants performed for COPD. The pre-trans...
