A Feasible, Simple And Convenient Model For Study Of Rectal Carcinoma
The method of building a rabbit rectal VX2 carcinoma model by injecting the cell suspension of VX2 cells into the wall of the rectum guided by X-ray fluoroscopy is feasible. The advantages of the model are ease of establishment, short growth period, and high stability. The rectal VX2 carcinoma established in this rabbit model is similar to human rectal carcinoma in aspects of pathological representation, tumor development, and metastasis. It offers an ideal major animal model for the study of rectal carcinoma, and especially profits the study of the staging of rectal carcinoma in imaging.

New Research On Midwives' Role In Interdisciplinary Education Published In The Journal Of Midwifery & Women's Health

A series of articles in the July/August 2009 issue of The Journal of Midwifery & Women"s Health (JMWH) focuses on midwives" participation in the education of medical students and residents. This issue includes the results of a new national survey by Edie McConaughey, CNM, MS and Elisabeth Howard, CNM, PhD, which found that the number of midwives involved in medical education in the United States has tripled in the past 10 years. More recently, the growth of this model has accelerated secondary to the mandated decrease in resident work hours. The different models of midwifery practices involved in medical education are described. A variety of innovative interdisciplinary education initiatives are presented, including a multidisciplinary women"s health curriculum and interprofessional programs for medical, midwifery, and nursing students. The documentation and billing guidelines for midwives who are teaching residents and medical students are also reviewed. "Documenting the role of midwifery in medical education is important to understand current implementation and facilitate the coninued development of interdisciplinary models," said the issue"s guest editor, Diane J. Angelini, CNM, NEAò€BC, EdD, FACNM, FAAN. "Additionally, these articles provide a starting point to further investigate outcomes in interdisciplinary education and identify strategiesthat optimize teaching and learning for all disciplines involved. Interdisciplinary education and practice benefit physicians, midwives-and ultimately-the women we serve." American College of Nurse-Midwives
