The preregistration year: Chaos by consensus.

A questionnaire was sent to all preregistration housemen who had graduated from the University of Birmingham in July, 1975. The results showed much dissatisfaction with the workings of the houseyear--specifically, with the long, sleepless hours of work, the almost negligible educational role of the year, the lack of time for human contact with patients, and the tendious, repetitive nature of the work. It is proposed that a shift system, which wound seem to be acceptable to most housemen, would solve many of these problems, and result in a better deal for both doctors and patients.

New World cutaneous leishmaniasis in returned travellers: treatment failures using intravenous sodium stibogluconate.

Treatment outcome was determined among a cohort of travellers who returned to the UK between February 2000 and February 2001 with New World cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by species of the Leishmania (Viannia) subgenus. Among 18 patients who completed treatment with 20 mg/kg/d of i.v. sodium stibogluconate (NaSb) for 20 d, early relapse of disease occurred in 2 patients with regional dissemination in 1 and mucocutaneous involvement in the other. Drug susceptibility testing in vitro of the clinical isolate from 1 of these patients confirmed tolerance to high concentrations of NaSb.
