Assessment and significance of Arthur Conan Doyle's medical writings.

Doyle's medical writings represent a valuable contribution to both the scientific and nonscientific aspects of medicine of the late 19th Century. Up to the present, accounts of these writings have been few, and none of them have been evaluative of their scientific merit. Analysis of Doyle's writings on infectious diseases in particular reveals a remarkable insight, for the 1880s, into the bacterial causation of disease and prevention through immunization.

Infants and Gin Mania in 18th-century London.

A study of Hogarth's engraving, Gin Lane, highlights the fact that alcoholic addiction parents results not only in the fetal alcohol syndrome, but also in other types of infant abuse. Physical trauma, loss of parents, neglect, and malnutrition are all depicted. There is the strong implication that the causes of such infant abuse, and thus the prevention, lie largely in socioeconomic and cultural fields, rather than in that of medical science.

Though pathologists have little control over the amount and nature of the use of the clinical laboratory, the author explains how pathologists can teach attending staff to use clinical laboratory services appropriately.

Building blocks to comprehensive quality assurance.

As a result of the new quality assurance standard recently introduced by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH), a new emphasis has been placed on the development of comprehensive studies in quality assurance programs. Considerable planning is necessary to establish an overall institutional quality assurance program, but equally important is the need to delineate suitable techniques for individual studies within a program.

Humanizing the student--cadaver encounter.

In a recently accredited medical school, the curriculum, which emphasizes the psychologic and social aspects of disease, includes innovative features aimed toward training students to provide humanistic health care in underserved areas. As part of this curriculum, an educational experiment was designed to explore issues concerning the medical student's first exposure to a cadaver. The authors describe the experiment as it evolved over a three-year period, and they discuss its value based on student evaluation and faculty opinion.
