Liver organelle changes on exposure to hypoxia.

Exposure of mice to hypoxia reduces the length of each element of endoplasmic reticulum. This may shorten the path length of oxygen within the cell and have an adaptive advantage. There were no significant changes in the other organelles.

Cost-effective clinical engineering programs: an expanding role in hospitals.

The advent of Diagnostic Related Groupings (DRGs) has brought significant changes to the way hospitals do business. In this environment, Clinical Engineering (CE) departments can play a significant role by identifying areas in which their expertise can be utilized to control costs and increase reliability of medical instrumentation and systems. First, CE departments must examine the impact of technology and the costs of technology on the health care environment. Second, they must examine the CE services provided and their appropriateness to the present needs of the hospital. Third, they must identify the costs and savings associated with providing these services. If CE Departments are able to show that they are an asset rather than just an overhead expense, such cost-effective departments will have an expanding role in today's hospitals.
