Occupational exposure to non-ionizing radiation and an association with heart disease: an exploratory study.
Exploratory analyses for dose-related exposure to non-ionizing radiation and adverse health effects among male physical therapists were done from a mail questionnaire survey. The cohort consisted of 3004 respondents who were stratified into subgroups according to exposure across and within the various types of non-ionizing radiation energy emitted from diathermy equipment. The radiation modalities considered were ultrasound, microwave, shortwave, and infrared. An association between heart disease and exposure to shortwave radiation was the only consistently significant finding when high and low exposure groups were compared.

Cost effectiveness in an internal medicine residency program: one physician's approach.
The impact of a cost-effectiveness program on an internal medicine service in a teaching hospital has been assessed. Notable reductions were made by the study service as compared to the control services. Period of hospitalization, number and cost of laboratory tests, charges for medication, number and cost of radiologic examinations, and overall costs of hospitalization were importantly reduced. Methods used to effect this reduction included distribution of a cost booklet, daily patient chart review, use of itemized patient bills, elimination of routine admission tests and standing orders, and use of a "why' philosophy instead of a "why not' philosophy.
Acid-base and electrolyte abnormalities due to capreomycin.
We report a patient with tuberculosis treated with a five-drug regimen who experienced severe acid-base and electrolyte abnormalities including hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and a hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. These disturbances are believed to be due to treatment with capreomycin, which produced renal magnesium wasting and possible tubular damage. Therefore, we recommend frequent determinations of serum electrolytes, magnesium, and calcium in patients treated with capreomycin.
Treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis by internists and family physicians: a comparative study.
This study contrasts the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis in a teaching hospital by internists and family physicians. Parameters studied included laboratory use and length of stay. The period of hospitalization was longer in the internal medicine program compared with the family practice group, 5.09 days and 4.60 days, respectively, a 10.65 percent increase. In addition, the total number of laboratory tests and x-ray procedures per patient and per hospital day were notably increased in the internal medicine group compared with the family practice group; 49.20 and 29.68, and 9.67 and 6.45, respectively, the former being a 65.77 percent increase and the latter being 49.92 percent higher. There were no deaths in either group. Serum glucose and urine spillage were comparable in both groups upon discharge.
