This article focuses on three aspects of the AIDS crisis as it affects the workplace. First, how does the law describe the rights and duties of employers and employees, including coworkers of a person with AIDS, AIDS-Related Complex, or who is antibody positive; second, given the law, what really is happening in the employment world; and third, what strategies can be developed or adopted for employees and employers to deal more effectively with AIDS-related disputes--a continuing and growing problem.

Advantages of a 400 speed image receptor system for cast radiography.
By using a faster intensifying screen as opposed to the traditional extremity system for cast radiography, one can reduce the dose to the patient significantly while maintaining quality cast radiographs. In this study a 400 speed Lanex Regular, TMG film system was compared to a 100 speed Lanex Fine, TMG film system. The findings suggest that slow speed, high resolution systems are unnecessary for cast radiography. Evidence demonstrated reduced patient exposure and suggested decreased motion and increased tube life as a result of shorter exposures.

The lack of standardization of static film/screen imaging terminology causes confusion among people working in the field of radiology. The research presented in this article compares terminology used by a variety of radiology professionals, basic reference texts, and film companies. A survey was developed and distributed, in which 96% of the participants indicated they saw a definite need to standardize static film/screen imaging terminology.
