Skin ulceration due to cement.

Despite legislation that requires manufacturers to inform the public about the dangers of contact with cement, severe ulceration from cement contact still occurs. We present a retrospective study of seven patients presenting to this department over a 2-year period. All were male and employed in the building trade, their injuries being sustained whilst at work. The injuries were to the lower limb, often multiple and required a median of seven visits before healing was complete. One required hospital admission and skin grafting.

Evaluation of a computerised system for medical records in an accident and emergency department.

This paper deals with the impact of the installation of a computerised record and data handling system in an urban Accident and Emergency department. This system became fully operational on the 14th of August, 1989 and replaced the previous manual method of administration. The new system allows 'real time' handling of patient details and generation of letters to both specialists and general practitioners. Audit of the department workload and data generation for research are improved. The current situation is described as well as potential benefits and constraints of the system.
