A patient with two histologically different primary pulmonary malignancies occurring simultaneously ten months after a successful cadaveric renal transplantation is reported. One tumor was an adenocarcinoma of the left lung and the other an oat cell carcinoma of the right lung. The differentiation of the two tumors was made by a fluorescein-conjugated antikeratin antibody staining technique. No tumor was present at the time of transplantation as judged from chest examinations. Ten months after transplantation a left-sided pleural effusion caused by the adenocarcinoma occurred simultaneously with a small infiltrate in the apex of the right lung. Simultaneous development of two histologically different lung tumors is unusual, and even more rare after renal transplantation.

Road dust carries various contaminants and causes urban non-point source pollution in waterbodies through runoff. Road dust samples were collected in each month in two years and then sieved into five particle size fractions. The concentrations of ten heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe) in each fraction were measured.

Few evidence-based trainings exist on how to equip healthcare providers, particularly nurses, with the skills to engage in cost of care conversations with patients/caregivers to mitigate the impact of cancer-related financial toxicity. This study evaluated a pilot training developed in collaboration with Triage Cancer to prepare oncology nurses to identify and assist patients/caregivers facing financial and/or legal barriers to care. Ten pediatric oncology nurses completed the training and pre/post-surveys on behaviors related to financial and legal need screening, frequency and comfort level of answering questions, knowledge, and behavior changes, along with training evaluation questions.
