Ambulatory Services In Teaching Hospitals, Gabriel Hilkovitz Jan 1966

Ambulatory Services In Teaching Hospitals, Gabriel Hilkovitz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The outpatient clinics and emergency rooms of metropolitan teaching hospitals have been criticized severely in recent years for providing poor patient care. In most teaching hospitals the ratio between outpatients and inpatients is three to one; therefore, if the critics are right, 75% of the patients who obtain medical care at the teaching hospital, are not getting the best that medicine has to offer today.

A Ranking Test In The Biological Sciences, Kenneth Mullen Jan 1966

A Ranking Test In The Biological Sciences, Kenneth Mullen

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Laboratory analyses of biological materials are ranked in order of magnitude and summed across materials to give a list of laboratory scores. Under the assumed hypothesis that there is in fact no difference between laboratories, Monte-Carlo techniques are used to establish two-tailed 5% rejection limits for various combinations of laboratories and materials. The hypothesis that there is no difference between laboratories is rejected if any laboratory's score lies outside the 5% limits. Suppose that one needs to run a group of tests on a particular set of materials (chemical or biological), using a number of different laboratories, and wishes to …

Applications Of Computers To Medicine, Edward N. Brandt Jr. Jan 1966

Applications Of Computers To Medicine, Edward N. Brandt Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The purpose of this paper is to present an over-view of current applications of computers to problems in medicine and not to discuss any specific application in detail. This discussion will be concerned only with digital computers. The modern digital computer is not very old. As a matter of fact, digital computers as we know them date from approximately 1949. Yet in this short span of time they have contributed to almost every sphere of man's activities. Computers have been applied to medical problems since about 1956, and have played an important role in increasing both the depth and breadth …

The Shame Of American Medicine, Elinor Langer Jan 1966

The Shame Of American Medicine, Elinor Langer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The success of American medicine is often attributed to the profession's ability to serve the public on its own terms. Why should doctors care if, from the patient's point of view, the terms chosen--solo practice and emphasis on the "doctor-patient relationship"--mean that a doctor performs unsupervised services for unregulated fees? What does it matter to them that the poor are outside the system altogether, treated in charity wards or public hospitals which are the medical equivalent of Andrew Carnegie's libraries, a small concession to charity from an accelerating machine of wealth, power, and influence? In a country proud of its …

Dynamic Physical Fitness And Body Composition, Archibald W. Sloan Jan 1966

Dynamic Physical Fitness And Body Composition, Archibald W. Sloan

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Dynamic physical fitness may be satisfactorily estimated by the Harvard step test (modified for women) and this and other aspects of physical fitness are measured by appropriate test batteries. The percentage by weight of fat in the body may be calculated from the specific gravity or from caliper measurements of skin folds or ultrasonic measurements of the thickness of the layer of subcutaneous fat at selected sites. In general, physical education students are fitter than non-athletic students. British men students of physical education are fitter than American. International differences are less marked in non-athletic men and in women. Performance of …

Editorial: Responsibilities Of Scientists--A Closer Look, Fairfield Goodale Jr. Jan 1966

Editorial: Responsibilities Of Scientists--A Closer Look, Fairfield Goodale Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

From a reading of today's lay and scientific press, one must conclude that scientists are most important people. And, indeed, the signs of their beneficence are on every hand--rapid travel, instant communication, globe-encircling rockets, moon probes, food surpluses, longer life spans, and all manner of creature comforts which by now are taken for granted. Verily, ours is the age of scientific marvels and we are in the debt of those who have made it possible.

The Future Effect Of The Computer And The Research Scientist On Medical Practice, Edward N. Brandt Jr. Jan 1966

The Future Effect Of The Computer And The Research Scientist On Medical Practice, Edward N. Brandt Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The computer is here. It has become a part of medicine. We have talked for a day and a half now about some of the applications of computers in medicine, and of the future of at least some of these applications. There is a language problem in communicating with computers, but certainly the future is going to see a medical language, comparable to the scientific language Fortran, built to enable physicians to communicate with the computer. The real advancements in computer application depend at least in part upon active use by physicians of computers. In closing, let me summarize by …

Reversible And Irreversible Effects Of Densely Ionizing Radiations Upon The Reproductive Capacity Of Cultured Human Cells, Paul Todd Jan 1966

Reversible And Irreversible Effects Of Densely Ionizing Radiations Upon The Reproductive Capacity Of Cultured Human Cells, Paul Todd

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Some aspects of the radiosensitivity of single human cells have been examined in vitro. So far, all factors which tend to modify sensitivity to x-radiation appear not to modify (or to modify less effectively) the effects upon single cells of high-dE/dx radiation. Whenever the hazards of heavily ionizing radiations are being evaluated, chronic exposure must be considered equivalent to acute exposure, and any attempts to modify the effects of densely ionizing radiations at the cellular level are probably useless. In the case of cultured human cells, the RBE is dependent upon the endpoint because of the differently-shaped survival curves. Thus, …

Observations On Chromaffin Tissue, Hermann K. F. Blaschko Jan 1966

Observations On Chromaffin Tissue, Hermann K. F. Blaschko

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

An attempt has been made to give in this article a review of some of our activities since I first met Ernst Fischer in Göttingen many years ago. I have not related the work of our laboratory to that of others. Also, I have only described observations made on chromaffin tissue. The catecholamines have acquired a much wider importance with their discovery in adrenergic neurones, and, more recently, in the central nervous system. However, the study of a more homogenous tissue has the advantage of greater simplicity. Some of the findings made on the adrenal medulla, e.g. the enzyme studies, …

On The Nature Of The Resting Frog Skin Potential, Priscilla M. Winn, Nancy S. Laprade, William R. Tolbert, Ernst G. Huf Jan 1966

On The Nature Of The Resting Frog Skin Potential, Priscilla M. Winn, Nancy S. Laprade, William R. Tolbert, Ernst G. Huf

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this paper some of the highlights of research on the nature of the resting frog skin potential have been presented. Reviewing a period of about 30 years, it was the intention to show that several key problems have been recognized by a number of investigators who, through their experimental work, have tried to find unequivocal solutions to such problems as follows: a) The number and location of electrogenic layers (barriers) within the rather complex epidermis. b) The characterization of these barriers in terms of specific permeability properties. c) The electrical response of the two sides of the skin to …

The Pathogenesis Of Atherosclerosis And Coronary Heart Disease, Joseph T. Doyle Jan 1966

The Pathogenesis Of Atherosclerosis And Coronary Heart Disease, Joseph T. Doyle

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Fifty-five percent of all deaths in the United States are ascribed to cardiovascular disease. The vast majority of these deaths are due directly or indirectly to atherosclerosis and its ischemic complications (Am. Heart Assoc., 1965; U.S. President's Commission on Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke, 1964). Atherosclerosis is defined in Dorland's dictionary (24th edition) as "a lesion of large and medium-sized arteries with deposits in the intima of yellowish plaques containing cholesterol, lipoid material and lipophages." Typical atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries are shown in figure 1. Even a casual inspection of these lesions shows the incompleteness of this conventional …

Effects Of Computers On Patient Care, Jay Goldman Jan 1966

Effects Of Computers On Patient Care, Jay Goldman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, the computer alone is not enough to provide the best possible patient care. Every hospital must be introspective about each patient-care system so that the performance aspects of the systems are meaningful and efficient. Couple the best methods of performance with the information processing and control capabilities offered by the computer, and one can envision a smoothly functioning patient-care complex in which the wild perturbations one sees in today's hospital operation are minimized. However, medical care finds itself in an awkward dichotomy. Many of the causes of system perturbation in the hospital are directly related to the demands …
