Multihospital systems: promises and problems.

More and more hospitals are finding benefits in closer relationships with other hospitals. But disadvantages, problems, and conflicts need to be overcome also. The author gives a brief summation of the pros and cons of such arrangements, as well as information on the AHA's Center for Multihospital Systems and Shared Services Organizations.

The nonprofit hospital: not requiem but revival!

Rather than federal regulatory efforts moving the nation's health care system toward the death of voluntary nonprofit health care, evidence points toward development of nonprofit multihospital systems that remain community oriented. The article outlines the vital attributes of "publicly owned community service" and voluntary nonprofit hospitals that lend themselves to this trend, and it refutes the scenarios of death for nonprofits.

Differential beta adrenergic sensitivity of atrial and ventricular tissue assessed by chronotropic, inotropic, and cyclic AMP responses to isoprenaline and dobutamine.

Cat atrial tissue was more sensitive to isoprenaline (USP:isoproterenol) and dobutamine than ventricular tissue. Chronotropic response of atrial strips occurred at lower agonist concentrations than inotropic responses of papillary muscle. Cyclic AMP responses in atrial slices also occurred at lower agonist concentrations and were of much greater magnitude than the cyclic AMP responses in ventricular slices. However, the disporportionately greater sensitivity of atrial tissue was more marked with isoprenaline than with dobutamine.
