The Necessity Of Adrenalectomy At The Time Of Radical Nephrectomy: A Systematic Review
UroToday.com - To take the adrenal or not at the time of radical nephrectomy, that is the question. These researchers from New York University School of Medicine performed an extensive literature search to determine the role of adrenalectomy at radical nephrectomy and discovered that the incidence of solitary, synchronous, ipsilateral adrenal involvement, and therefore potentially curable tumor disease with ipsilateral adrenalectomy occurred extremely infrequently - in only 1% to 5% of cases.

Statement From The Minister Of Natural Res And The Minister Of Health On Extended NRU Shutdown, Canada

As Ministers of Natural Res and Health, we are disappointed with AECL"s announcement of delays to the repair of the National Research Universal Reactor (NRU) at Chalk River. We wish to be clear to Canadians. The unplanned shutdown of the NRU will result in a significant shortage of medical isotopes in Canada and in the world this summer. The health and welfare of Canadians is the top priority of the Government of Canada, and we understand that AECL"s announcement today - extending the period of shutdown - is of concern to Canadians. We are likewise very concerned about and understand the seriousness of the effect of this announcement on Canadian families. Since the shutdown of the NRU in May, we have been working tirelessly with the Canadian medical community and with international isotope producers to help manage supply shortage and minimize its impact. These international discussions have brought all isotope-producing countries to the table to maximize production from existing reactors, coordinate and minimize outage times and help address the current global shortage. As a result of this successful international outreach, the impact of the shortage of medical isotopes in Canada and around the world has been mitigated by responses from other reactor operators and isotope suppliers. Nonetheless, we expect a period of more critical shortage during the month of August. For this reason, careful management of available supplies by the health care community and the successful identification of alternatives will remain essential. As the Minister of Health, I urge medical professionals to prepare for such shortages. As the Minister of Natural Res, I have directed AECL to give paramount priority to bringing the Chalk River reactor back to service as quickly and safely as possible and will hold AECL accountable to that end.
