Hand-held computers for family physicians.

Hand-held computers such as the Apple Newton MessagePad, HP 200LX, Psion 3a, and Franklin DBS-2 are now powerful enough to be useful to family physicians in their care of patients. Each fits in a laboratory coat pocket, weighs a pound or less, costs less than $700, turns on instantly, and has excellent battery life. A wide variety of software, including computerized medical records, medical calculators, and medical references, is available.

The use of handbooks in orthopaedics.

The use of handbooks is becoming more widespread in hospital medicine. A review of their use in British orthopaedics received 78 replies (29 per cent) representing 94 (30 per cent) of the orthopaedic units in the United Kingdom. Seventy-five per cent used a handbook, were preparing one or would like to have one. Recommendations are given for the content and format of a handbook, a specimen of which has been prepared.

[Charcot and cerebral localizations. From aphasia to amnesia].

During the course of his convincing research into localizing cerebral motor areas, Charcot used the clinico-pathological method and his faith in localization for the study of aphasia. Thus, in 1883, he gave a course on the subject which is one of the most complex among the study of cerebral diseases. In this series of lessons, he was able to organize data from clinical studies, anatomy and psychology. In fact, for Charcot in 1883, aphasia was simple a particular kind of amnesia which could be taken as more or less severe partial loss of word memory. Memory itself would not exist, but would be divided into a number of autonomous partial memories. Charcot did not discover until some years later, basically from observing patients with hysteria, that memory is not only a stock of sensations but that it can also be used to save personal, autobiographical information. This led him to consider memory impairment not only as an organic disease but also as a psychological disease.

Methods used by pharmacy departments to identify drug interactions.

The results of a survey evaluating the methods that pharmacy departments use to manage drug interactions, and their satisfaction with those methods, are reported. A random sample of 300 hospitals with more than 200 beds was selected, and a questionnaire was mailed in January 1991 to the directors of the pharmacy departments of these hospitals. Of the 300 questionnaires mailed, 167 were completed and returned. Thirty-seven percent of the hospitals offered pharmacy services through a central location only, whereas 63% offered such services through a combination of central and decentral locations. The majority of hospitals (83%) detected drug interactions through the knowledge of the pharmacist processing orders. Nearly all central pharmacies had AHFS Drug Information and Facts and Comparisons available for drug interaction information, but these resources were available in only slightly more than half of all decentral pharmacies surveyed. Fifty-four percent of the responding institutions had a computerized drug distribution system with a drug interaction component; 56% of these classified their system as "indispensable" or "helpful," while 44% classified their system as "somewhat helpful but sometimes a hindrance." Sixty-eight percent of all respondents believed that the availability of a drug interaction computer program increased the number of drug interactions identified. Sixty-eight percent of respondents perceived that pharmacists provided proper follow-up. Overall, 66% of respondents were not satisfied with their method for detection and follow-up of interactions. Of those who were satisfied, 79% had a computerized drug interaction program. Respondents who reported departmental audits or quality assessment procedures were also more likely to be satisfied.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
