Technical architecture of ONC-approved plans for statewide health information exchange.

ONC-approved state plans for HIE were reviewed for descriptions and depictions of statewide HIE technical architecture. Review was complicated by non-standard organizational elements and technical terminology across state plans. Findings were mapped to industry standard, referenced, and defined HIE architecture descriptions and characteristics.

Experiences with 16 cases of pararenal pseudocyst.

Pararenal pseudocysts developed after an operation, after blunt and penetrating trauma or after contiguous disease processes in 16 patients. Nephrectomy was necessary in 8 cases. Although the duration of the pseudocyst and the extent of conduit injury did to an extent determine fate of the kidney, the location of the encapsulated extravasate and its propensity for curtailment of urine formation appeared to be more significant factors.
