Department review: a PSRO approach from the hospital's perspective.

The following article is the first in a two-part series which describes a departmental review system developed by the Area VII Professional Standards Review Organization (PSRO) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In part one, an overview of the general approach to departmental review is presented. In part two, which will be published in a future issue of the QRB, application of some aspects of the system to a specific department--diagnostic radiology--will be presented. Although developed by the staff of a PSRO, the approach to departmental review described envisions such review as a delegated activity to be conducted on an individual hospital basis.

[45,X/ 46,XX/ 46,XY Mosaic with female phenotype].

Report on a girl with female phenotype and 45,X/46,XX/46,XY mosaicism. The patient showed primary amenorrhea, low stature (1,47 m), but no other typical features of Turner's syndrome. Chromosome studies were carried out on cultures of blood lymphocytes, with usual methods and with R- G- and Q-banding: 43,3 % of cells were 46,XY ; 36,6 % were 45,X and 20 % were 46,XX. The chromosome Y is a non-fluorescent one. A comparison is made with other published cases.
