The Delphi predictions of pathology chairmen: a six-year retrospective view.

A retrospective review is reported of progress in academic pathology since 1974, when the Association of Pathology Chairmen undertook a Delphi study of pathology chairmen's expectations and desires for the future. In the authors' view, the Delphi study was useful in alerting academic pathologists to some important opportunities and in coalescing activities toward achievement of important goals. A second study to involve a broader community of pathologists is suggested.

The future of pathology: a Delphi study by pathology department chairmen.

This paper reports the results of a study by and of chairmen of pathology departments in American and Canadian medical schools directed toward discovering chairmen's perceptions and attitudes about the future of pathology. Over 100 of a total of 143 chairmen participated in some or all phases of this study in which the Delphi approach was used. Sixty-five chairmen completed all four rounds of questionnaires. Most chairmen are deeply concerned about increasing federal regulation of medicine. They expect to play a greater role in all phases of medical education with more emphasis on the basic science aspects of pathology. They also foresee a desirable shifting of residency training programs away from small hospitals to the larger medical centers. This shift will result in fewer but longer training programs.

Effect of metabolic inhibitors on pyrogen production by rabbit leukocytes.

The metabolic inhibitors, actinomycin D, cycloheximide, puromycin dihydrochloride, puromycin aminonucleoside, and p-fluorophenylalanine did not inhibit the release of leukocytic pyrogen whether endotoxin was preincubated with cells for 20 min at 37 degrees C before addition of inhibitor or inhibitor was preincubated with cells for 1 hr before addition of endotoxin. On the other hand, cortison inhibited release of pyrogen under both experimental conditions. Poly(I): poly(C) was not effective in inducing rabbit leukocytes to produce an endogenous pyrogen.
