[Blood purification procedures in acute exogenous poisonings].

The contribution explains the value of the techniques of blood purification on the basis of national numbers and own experiences. By reason of the great number of chemical substances which may give rise to intoxications within such a close compass it is of course impossible to mention details. Even so eminent books of reference such as the book by Seyffart need not only the permanent actualization, but by virtue of new scientific or experimental knowledge occasionally lead to changed conceptions. This, for instance, also concerns the somewhat more reserved assessment of the digitalis glycoside poisoning. On principle should be recorded that always then, when during intoxications vital functions are potentially or actively disturbed, or, however, the danger of lasting damage is occurring, because of the small complication rate of the haemodialysis or haemoperfusion in all unclear intoxications in case of doubt always such a blood purification technique should be performed in order to grant better changes of treatment to these patients and still further to reduce the mortality rate of acute intoxications.

Use of personal digital assistants in diagnostic radiology resident education.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Personal digital assistants (PDAs) are gaining widespread use in the medical community. We introduced a PDA-based mobile system that provides departmental and educational information with a seamless connection to the intranet. The objective of this study is to determine the impact a PDA has on educational resources (learning or data reference) brought to work and used at home by a radiology resident based on user surveys. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Survey was performed on 32 radiology residents in our department before and 6 months after the release of the PDA-based system. We assessed the changes in (1) sources of learning at home and at work, and in (2) data reference. The second survey also evaluated the usefulness of each component of the system. RESULTS: After the release of the PDA-based mobile system, the use of "digital books and references" as data references and educational resources that were brought to work every day significantly increased (P = .016, P < .0001, respectively). "Traditional books and references" remained the "most useful source in learning radiology"; however, "digital books and references" increased as the residents' first choice from 0% to 16% within 6 months of introducing the package (P = .125). CONCLUSION: The introduction of a PDA-based system consisting of educational and departmental information had a statistically significant impact in increasing the use of digitized information in radiology resident education.

The reading habits of RACGP Training Program doctors.

AIM: To describe the reading habits of a cohort of Western Australian RACGP Training Program doctors undertaking general practice terms in 1992. METHOD: A questionnaire that included a list of journals and books relevant to general practice was distributed to trainees. Information obtained included demographic data, the frequency of journal reading and the number of books read. RESULTS: There were 68 respondents from a total of 100. Time spent in medical reading ranged from one to 12 hours per week, with a mean of 3.3. The number of journal titles read in the past six months ranged from three to 16. The number of books actually read (from the 39 titles presented) ranged from zero to 17. The most frequently read were the reference type books. Very few of the 'core' books about the nature, scope and philosophy of general practice had been read. CONCLUSIONS: RACGPTP doctors read mainly for information. To produce educated doctors knowledgeable about their chosen discipline, the Training Program will need to place greater emphasis on introducing their vocational trainees to the writings of the thinkers and philosophers of general practice and family medicine.

INTRODUCTION TO CHINESE MEDICAL LITERATURE.

The history of medicine in China is divided into four periods, from about 2700 B.C. to the present. Brief descriptions of standard works of these periods (e.g. Pèn-Ts'ao, Nei Ching, Nan Ching, Shang Han Lun, Ch'in K'ue Yao Lüeh, Chai I Ching, Chou Hou Pei Chi Fang, Mo Ching, Ming I Pieh Lu, Ch'ao Shih Pin Yüan, Chien Chin Yao Fang, Wai T'ai Pi Yao, Hsi Yüan Lu, Pèn-Ts'ao Kang-Mu, etc.) are given. The latter part of the paper deals with the state of modern medical research and literature in Mainland China, where equal emphasis is placed on the practice of both traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of diseases, thus resulting in a new era in Chinese medical history. This is based on the information obtainable in Hong Kong. Information about medical developments in Taiwan is readily available elsewhere and so has been omitted.

Children's individual approaches to the organization of narrative.

This paper investigates the similarities and differences observed in individual approaches to the linguistic organization of narrative. Twenty subjects in each of five age groups (four, six, eight, ten years and adult) were asked to relate a narrative elicited from a picture book. All references to the animate characters in the book were coded for form (nominal/pronominal), and function (switch versus maintenance). Individual analyses of the narratives indicated that a variety of strategies were used across all age groups. Strategies identified included thematic subject, nominal and anaphoric. When the narrative was divided into segments based on the referential load of each segment, it was found that there was an interaction between the strategy adopted in the first segment, the age of the subject and the referential load of subsequent segments. A variety of strategies was adopted by all age groups although there were preferential trends observable within each group. The ability to maintain a strategy across the varying referential load of the narrative increased with age. Five developmental stages were identified from the analysis which enabled certain tentative predictions to be made about the way children approach a complex narrative task, suggesting that children pass through a number of stages which reflect their ability to organize the referential content of the narrative at differing speech levels.
