Treatment of diarrheal dehydration.

A regimen for the treatment of diarrheal dehydration is presented. It was devised for use in conditions found in developing countries. Application to large number of patients has been successful. One of its characteristics is the infusion at the start of treatment of a larger amount of fluid than generally recommended. The advantages of magnesium supplementation and phosphate supplementation have been studied. Fecal electrolyte composition has been studied during recovery from diarrheal dehydration. Components of acid balance and generation have been measured with the "net acid" balance technique.

[Experimental course in medicine at the University of São Paulo].

The structure, general objectives, characteristics, and administrative organization of the experimental course in medicine at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, are examined. The individual course subjects are then described, as are the six cycles, together with the class hours allotted to each, into which the course is divided: (1) basic instruction; (2) studies vertically integrated into the system; (3) the preclinical course; (4) the clinical course (corresponding to the fourth year); (5) the rotating internship; and (6) the elective internship. Including the internship system adopted in the last four years, the course comprises a total of 10,000 hours. Emphasized are: teacher training of instructors; position in the course of social sciences and medical psychology; factors adversely affecting the teaching of community medicine; effects on the student of the characteristics of the system adopted for practice during internship and in the teaching hospital. Establishment of a continuing process for stimulating attainment of the objectives, improving teaching methods, and securing the desired results is recommended as part of the experimental course.

[Importance of schedule in medical graduation: the example of Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (FMUSP)].

Results of educational research which were realized in 1996 are presented. The effective use of available schedule in each discipline of medical curriculum in FMUSP was registered by previously prepared students. In global analysis 13.9% of available hours were not utilized. Research results were compared with those ones registered in Curricular Evaluation Program (PAC); final figures revealed that better utilization in available schedule is correlated with better assessment in PAC model.
