    Summary: "Designed for recently graduated RNs and nurses transitioning to a new clinical area, this extensive clinical reference is the best resource to provide essential information on the critical care and emergency care specialty areas. Concise and practical entries provide fundamental coverage of the most common clinical problems and issues encountered in nursing practice today. Alphabetized for easy access, each entry includes a definition and description of the clinical problem; etiology; clinical aspects, such as assessment, nursing interventions, management, and implications; and outcomes. Each entry focuses on the role of the nurse throughout the treatment process, and discusses the role of other health care providers with a focus on multidisciplinary treatment. Handbook of Clinical Nursing: Critical and Emergency Care Nursing will be of value to nursing faculty, undergraduate and graduate-level nurses, and nursing students at all levels."--Back cover.

    Pretreatment biopsy material of 82 cases of follicular lymphoma of lymph node origin was reviewed. According to the amount of small lymphocytes in the parafollicular lymphoid tissue (PSL), tumors were classified: PSL++, abundant lymphocytes with prominent postcapillary venules; PSL+, a number of lymphocytes readily recognizable, postcapillary venules present but not prominent; PSL+/-, lymphocytes barely appreciable or absent. Five-year actuarial survival rates were 82.7% in PSL++, 42.3% in PSL+, and 0% in PSL+/-. Ten-year actuarial survival rates were 51.5% and 4.7% in PSL++ and +, respectively. The PSL++ pattern was often associated with localized disease. Patients surviving more than 5 years with disseminated disease had either PSL++ or +. Survival was better correlated with PSL patterns than histologic tumor types or clinical stages. Transition of the pattern from nodular to diffuse occurred in 17 of 26 cases observed and was concomitant with the progressive loss of parafollicular (or interfollicular) components, namely small lymphocytes and lymphocyte-associated vasculature. Classification of follicular lymphoma based on parafollicular small lymphocytes (PSL) offers a new set of prognostic criteria and a guide to improved clinical management.
