National health and nutrition examination I--epidemiologic follow-up survey.

An epidemiologic follow-up of the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I), being conducted from 1982 to 1984, is expected to provide estimates of the risks of certain health conditions for a sample of the U.S. population and to make it possible to relate these conditions to the nutritional, social, demographic, and behavioral characteristics of the sample. As part of the followup study, the baseline data obtained in NHANES I have been reviewed to define hypotheses and to identify pertinent variables that can be used in studying changes over time and the relationships of these variables to outcome measures. Because the followup study provides cohort data on a large sample of the U.S. population, it presents a unique opportunity for epidemiologists.

Obstruction without dilation. Importance in evaluating jaundice.

Transhepatic cholangiography demonstrated no intrahepatic biliary duct dilation in 16 cases of surgical jaundice. The role of ultrasound, computed tomography, and transhepatic cholangiography in differentiating between surgical and medical jaundice is discussed in the light of these 16 cases. Nondilated ducts on ultrasound or computed tomography do not rule out surgical jaundice, and transhepatic cholangiography should be performed for complete evaluation of the biliary tree.

Dr. Cohen's myringotomy day at the Outpatient Care Center. Interview by Nancy L Zinner.

1. Seventy percent of children develop at least one bout of otitis media. Myringotomy is done whenever serous otitis media fails to resolve after medical therapy. 2. The Outpatient Care Center (OCC) at Jewish Hospital in Louisville, the Kentucky Commission for Handicapped Children, and the Indiana Crippled Children's Commission have collaborated to provide cost-effective middle ear ventilation tube surgery for children in the greater Louisville area and southern Indiana. 3. On a typical morning, the OCC's first patient arrives in the operating room at 7:30 AM. The 20th patient is usually out of the operating room by 11:00 AM. Teamwork in all areas allows the cases to flow smoothly.

A peer review program for professional nurses.

Within the past 3 years, the Division of Nursing in a large medical center implemented a career ladder and a professional practice model. Peer review was identified as a critical component for the success of these two initiatives and maturation of the model. Limitations in the conduct of peer review among the professional nursing staff centered around the lack of a coherent process. The Coordinating Council, the governing body of the professional nursing staff, formally recognized the accomplishments of a Quality Improvement team and directed the team to implement and evaluate a process of peer review. The development and implementation of peer review as experienced by this Quality Improvement team is described in this article. The process and structure of peer review and specific continuous improvement tools used by the team in developing this process are reviewed.
