One article states that malignancy is second only to trauma as the leading cause of death of US children before they reach puberty. * Two authors discuss spotting on surgical instruments during sterilization. They say that generally accepted practice is to keep the problem quiet, but it usually becomes worse, causing damage to instruments and sterilizers, among other things.

* An advertisement entices readers to "come to Hawaii with the AORN." The price of the trip includes airfare, hotel accommodations, sightseeing, and taxes. * The Journal announces that the American Medical Association's house of delegates has approved criteria for accreditation of all OR technician education programs.
