[Influence of various gastrointestinal disorders and dysproteinemia on the determination of blood digitalis by means of radioimmunoassay].

Radioimmunologically determined digoxin and beta methyl digoxin values were the same in cardiopaths with and without clinical and instrumental changes referable to chronic cirrhosis or hepatitis. Lower values, however, were noted when gastroenteric disturbances were present. This was especially true of beta methyl digoxin in subjects with hyperkinetic-hyperchlorhydric syndromes due to depressed gastric pH, with a consequent inhibition of beta methyl digoxin absorption, presumably caused by lability of the molecule as a result of methylation of the terminal digitoxose group.

Opportunities and issues for medical group practices.

For the second consecutive year, McManis Associates, a health care management consulting firm and subsidiary of MMI Companies Inc., held, in conjunction with the 1996 MGMA/AMA joint legislation conference, an executive forum for leaders of medical group practices for a discussion of some of the key trends and issues they are facing today. The forum included five group practice executives from a variety of organization types and situations, and was structured to encourage them to engage in a candid exchange about their own opinions and experiences. Discussion was facilitated by Gerald L. McManis, president of McManis Associates, Louis Pavia Jr., executive vice president, and F. Kenneth Ackerman Jr., FACMPE, principal associate. This article provides a summary of the forum proceedings, as well as some commentary by the authors, based on their experience in working with medical group practices around the country.
