Radiologic purchase patterns tracked.

A recent report of hospitals' radiology purchasing processes and buying plans for the future shows they're generally happy with the equipment they have and would replace it with the same brand. The report looks at what types diagnostic imaging equipment, who decides what to buy and what improvements hospitals would like to see in their imaging equipment.

Accidents detract from laser's potential.

Breakthroughs in laser applications to surgery have sparked interest in laser technology. But as equipment proliferates, so does the potential for malfunctions and operator errors. Serious accidents happen when such a powerful force goes astray.

Outcomes research affecting devices.

Outcome measurement is having an increasing impact on the success of medical devices in the marketplace, according to a new report from the Health Industry Manufacturers Assn. The report is intended to help the manufacturers of medical equipment determine when outcomes research will be necessary in introducing new products. But it also offers a glimpse into future device marketing strategies.

Jewish hospitals yesterday and today.

How times have changed at America's Jewish hospitals. The facilities, some dating to before the Civil War, were built mainly to serve large populations of Jewish immigrants. Today, the patient population at large has changed considerably, as have the financial challenges these mainly inner-city facilities face. But executives say the hospitals' mission and ethic remain the same.

The amnesic substance 2-deoxy-D-galactose suppresses the maintenance of hippocampal LTP.

Male Wistar rats were intraventricularly injected with 2-deoxy-D-galactose (do-gal), a substance interfering with the fucosylation of glycomacromolecules and impairing memory consolidation in various learning tasks. Do-gal was found to have no influence on the monosynaptically evoked field potential (MEFP) recorded in the dentate gyrus upon stimulation of the perforant pathway. However, hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) induced in do-gal-pretreated animals by fractionated tetanization of the perforant pathway declined to control levels 2 h after tetanization, whereas it remained constant for 24 h in saline-treated rats. Similar effects were observed in the CA1 region of hippocampal slices. The results indicate a participation of fucosylated macromolecules in the maintenance of LTP. The possible significance of processes involved in LTP for memory formation is discussed.
