An "Editorial" encouraging nurses to write for the Journal states that most OR nurses regard writing with the same enthusiasm with which they anticipate a bout of swine flu. * An article discusses localized renal hypothermia, a recent surgical development that allows renal artery clamping for extended periods of time.

* A news item reports that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revised label requirements for tranquilizers to warn of the possible increased risk of congenital abnormalities associated with their use during the first trimester of pregnancy. * "Legislation" discusses the direct and indirect effects that the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act of 1976 will have on nurses.
