Private practice interdisciplinary breast centers: their rationale and impact on patients, physicians, and the health care industry: a bicoastal perspective.

This article reports on the experience of two private practice breast centers in New York and California. It demonstrates that comprehensive breast centers directed by full-time breast imagers have a significant impact on medical care from the perspective of the patient, her physicians, and the health care system. These two centers, separated by a continent, disparate in their formation and founding philosophies, yield very similar results in breast cancer diagnosis, reduction of the benign biopsies, and improving the cost of breast biopsies.

Occurrence of bacteremia in febrile children seen in a hospital outpatient department and private practice.

Blood cultures were obtained during a one-year period from 147 febrile children seen in the hospital outpatient clinic (group 1), and 42 seen in a private practice office (group 2). Although the two clinics were located in the same geographic area, they served different socioeconomic groups. Bacteremia was detected in 12 (8.2%) of the children in group 1; the organisms recovered were Streptococcus pneumoniae in nine and Haemophilus influenzae in three. Bacteremia was observed in two (4.8%) of the children seen in group 2, and both cases were due to S pneumoniae. The difference in prevalence rates for bacteremia between groups was not significant by chi-square testing (P = .46). The age of all the 13 patients with bacteremia was less than 24 months, their temperature was above 104 F (40 C), their polymorphonuclear leukocyte count was above 15,000/cu mm, and a localized site of infection was present in ten of them. These data suggest that the presence of bacteremia in febrile children depends more on the patients' clinical and laboratory findings than on the medical facility in which they are seen.

[Treatment of patients on maintenance dialysis by a privately practicing physician (author's transl)].

The patient under maintenance-dialysis, is advised and cared for by the dialysis center he has been assigned to. The physician with a private practice normally has little occasion to know about the problems of these patients. He is basically restricted to the following: 1. Occasional help, concerning the psychical and physical adaptation phase, at the beginning of dialysis treatment. 2. The treatment of possible complications (effects of overhydration, disturbances in the electrolyte metabolism, cerebral damage) inclusive of shunt complications. The Treatment of other diseases which do not have to do with renal insufficiency, should only be carried out following clarification of the case, with or in direct cooperation with, the responsible dialysis center.

Red cell transketolase studies in a private practice specializing in nutritional correction.

Erythrocyte transketolase (TKA) and thiamin pyrophosphate percentage uptake, or effect (TPPE) were performed on 1011 patients between 1983 and 1986. The subjects were drawn from a private practice specializing in nutritional correction as a major therapeutic thrust. Either TKA or TPPE or both were abnormal in 283 (28%). Out of the total number of patients with these abnormal studies 36 have been selected as representative. Their clinical presentation is correlated with subsequent laboratory testing in order to draw attention to the practical value of the test in a clinical setting. These data are presented because of the surprisingly high incidence of abnormal tests, that strongly suggests that there is widespread marginal nutritional deficiency in the United States and that it represents a clinical problem that deserves far more attention than it is presently receiving.

A private practice model for teaching and research activities.

The majority of neurologists in the United States are in fee for service patient management, dividing their time between hospital and office based practice. Many have had subspecialty training or have had research experience. It is our belief that research should be a component of a neurologist's practice. This is particularly true for an assessment of outcome. In order to accomplish this, we have developed a system which includes patient management, teaching, and clinical research, within our fee for service model.

Use of tacrine hydrochloride (Cognex) in private practice.

Before administering tacrine hydrochloride (Cognex), an examination is conducted that includes a medical history, neurological examination, laboratory studies, EEG, CT or MRI, and sometimes lumbar puncture. Much consideration by physicians patients, and caregivers goes into the decision to prescribe Cognex. Aside from a diagnosis of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, the patient must be in good health. Patient and caregivers must accept the need for weekly ALT measurements for at least the first 18 weeks of treatment, and for periodic office evaluations. Many of our patients who have received Cognex show considerable improvement in overall sense of well-being, affect, and the abilities to converse and participate in daily activities. The most common adverse effects in our patients are nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal upset. In our experience, administration of Cognex extends the time that patients with AD can function in a home environment. This approach often represents a cost savings to the patient's family.
