Clinical procedures performed by emergency medicine resident physicians: a computer-based model for documentation.

To facilitate documentation and assess the number and types of clinical procedures actually performed by resident physicians, we developed a microcomputer-based recording process. After completing a procedure, including resuscitations, residents recorded in a precoded book issued for each monthly rotation. At the end of each rotation, the books were collected and the information was transferred to a database program by the clerical staff. During 1989, 17 emergency medicine resident physicians at PGY levels 1 through 3 utilized this system. Completed procedure record books were submitted for 124 of 148 clinically active months for a compliance rate of 84%. Of 1,857 procedures recorded, the most frequent were resuscitation (20%), orotrachael intubation (12%), and percutaneous central vein cannulation (12%). Commonly recorded were lumbar puncture (7%), diagnostic peritoneal lavage (5%), nasotrachael intubation (4%), and newborn delivery (4%). The high compliance rate suggests resident physicians acceptance. This system enables residency directors to closely monitor individual and group procedure experiences and to make curriculum changes based on objective findings. It also provides a means of storing and retrieving data for review organizations and credentials committees.

[Demographic characteristics of dog population in Switzerland].

Dog Registration data from three Cantons, patient data of 13 veterinary practices and registrations in the Swiss Dog Pedigree Book were collected, analysed and compared to results of a commercial household survey, to assess demographic characteristics of dog population in Switzerland. The proportion of "pure-bred" dogs was different depending on how the term was used, varying from 24% regarding registrations in the Swiss Dog Pedigree Book, to 75% regarding dogs with only one breed recorded in Veterinarian's patient-history-management systems. Most popular breeds were dogs called "German Shepherd/Shepherd", followed by the Labrador and Golden Retriever. Comparison of different data sources suggested regional differences in popularity of breeds. The average life expectancy was estimated on 10.5 and 11 years. Sex distribution was equal. One third of all male dogs and half of the female dogs were neutered. Regardless sex, neutering was more common in cross-bred dogs than in "pure-bred" dogs (OR = 1.9). Some bias in all sources had to be considered and there was a major concern regarding definition of breeds. However, the study was able to add different parameters out of different sources to a homogenous picture of demographic data of dog population in Switzerland.

The development and evaluation of a small ready-reference library collection for a rural practice: a case study.

A demonstration core collection of twenty-four ready-reference sources and five journals was selected cooperatively by a solo practitioner in rural Menifee County, Kentucky, and the University of Kentucky Medical Center Library Field Librarian to fit the ready-reference and current awareness information needs of a primary care solo rural practice in eastern Kentucky. The collection selections were systematically assessed by the physician to determine their utility in filling the practitioner's information needs with regard to his particular situation in terms of medical experience and level of training, available library and educational resources, and the type of health problems seen in his practice. This assessment showed that the Rural Demonstration Library Collection completely filled the information needs of the physician 66% of the time materials were consulted and filled his immediate information needs either completely or partially 82% of the time the collection was searched. This demonstration has shown that, under a specific set of circumstances, a librarian and a solo rural practitioner can effectively work together in identifying health sciences materials which fit the information needs of a solo rural practitioner. It suggests that cooperation between a librarian and a physician is important in meeting information needs.

Standards for academic visual science libraries. Association of Visual Science Librarians.

These standards are a revised and updated version of the Guidelines and Standards for Visual Science Libraries Serving Optometric Institutions, a paper first issued by the Association of Visual Science Librarians (AVSL) in 1976. Their purpose is to provide minimum standards as an aid to accreditation bodies and to institutions initiating library service. In this revision, the Standards and Guidelines have been separated physically so that current information can be updated more frequently and easily. The Standards are a qualitative statement about the minimum levels of staff, collections, and services that should be expected from visual science libraries; the Guidelines contain suggested lists of journals and other quantitative data subject to frequent change. The Guidelines are available separately from the AVSL.

Management of a learning resource center: a seven-year study.

Data compiled over seven years present evidence that small-group or "cluster" carrels are successfully utilized by medical students in a learning resource center (LRC) and, therefore, should be considered to be an efficient method of managing space, software, and hardware. Three management concepts account for high utilization of an LRC operated as a service in support of a medical school curriculum. Of special importance is the interaction of LRC staff with faculty, which directly accounts for a collection relevant to the curriculum. The other management concepts are responsiveness to students and delivery of services that support production and distribution of print and audiovisual resources for student learning.

[The life of medical historian Miki Sakae, and the "history of Korean medicine and of diseases in Korea"].

Miki Sakae was a Medical historian, who is well known for his studies of Korean medicine. He authored the renowned trilogy which dealt with subjects of Korean medicine and diseases, namely the "History of Korean Medicine and of Diseases in Korea", "Bibliography of Korean Medical Books", and "The Chronological Table of Medical Events in Korea"), during the Japanese Occupation period. He was born in 1903 in Osaka, Japan, and graduated from the Kyushu College of Medicine. In 1928 he was assigned to the Gyeongseong Imperial University's College of Medicine as a professor, and also served as Chief of the Suweon Provincial Hospital while he was staying in Korea. During the 18-year period of his stay, he widely collected medical books of Korea and also thoroughly studied them. He returned to Japan in 1944 due to the illness of his father, but continued his studies of Korean medicine, and in 1955 published the "History of Korean Medicine and of Diseases in Korea" for the first time. Following such accomplishment, "Bibliography of Korean Medical Books" was published in 1956, the next year, and finally "The Chronological Table of Medical Events in Korea" was published a few decades later, in 1985. Since the 1950s, aside of continuing to study and author the history of Korean medicine, he had also engaged himself in a joint effort associated with the members of the Medical History Association of Japan (which also included the alumni of the Kyushu College of Medicine) in a group study of Huseya Soteki, the first Japanese Experimental Physiologist. He also attempted at establishing an academic branch which could be referred to as Experimental Historical Studies of Medicine, by recreating the experiments of Huseya Soteki with his own son. Later he also expanded his interest and studies to the medical history of the world and also the area of Medical Ethics. But his ultimate interest and passion were always targeted at the Medicine of Korea, and the one consistent position he maintained during his entire life regarding the Korean medicine, was that 'One can only talk about the medicine of China and Japan when he or she is well versed in the medicine of Korea'. And his lifetime achievement, "History of Korean Medicine and of Diseases in Korea" was authored upon the basis established by such conviction and philosophy. First, in this book the perspective of Cultural Transmission, which considers the flow of cultural qualities and assets to be ordinarily flowing from highly developed regions to less developed ones, was firmly maintained. He argued that the medicine of China had to pass through the Korean peninsula to reach Japan. Second, he suggested that studies of medicine and diseases could only be fully and thoroughly understood when it is approached not only from the perspective devised by medical historical studies but also from perspectives devised for general and total historical examination of human life events. And third, he argued that all historical studies should be based upon proofs and evidences, and the 'development' factor of a particular type of studies or practices should be measured by whether that study or practice has reached or accomplished the level of Western modern science. Demonstrating such conviction, out of Korean traditional medical practices he particularly examined the medical procedures of treating tumors or regulations and procedures developed for forensic medicine, which he considered superior to or at least at the same level with Western medicine. In his final years he was forced to battle cancer, but he refused to be hospitalized. Instead, he exhibited his firm belief that medicine and medical practices which believe in the ultimate power of human body and soul are what the practitioners should pursue in order to acquire the very core of medicine. He died in 1992, at home, surrounded by his family. He is known to have always uttered that one of the most celebrated Medical books of Korea, the "Dongeui Bogam" authored by Heo Jun, was a true example of a book containing 'Medicine Based upon Human Body and Soul'. A huge portrait of Heo Jun is reported to have been hung at the living room of his house all the time.

Friends of the library groups in health sciences libraries.

The Houston Academy of Medicine--Texas Medical Center (HAM--TMC) Library collected data on friends of the library groups from 103 health sciences libraries, using a mail questionnaire. Sixteen of the responding libraries had independent friends groups; seven had friends groups that were subordinate to a university group. The sixteen independent groups gave as their major purposes (1) to raise money for their associated library and (2) to develop support for their library. These groups contributed an average of $4,870 a year to their libraries, the money being used primarily to purchase rare books and working-collection books and to sponsor social events. The subordinate groups contributed relatively little money to the health sciences libraries responding to the survey.

Using a children's book to prepare children and parents for elective ENT surgery: results of a randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the effects of surgery preparation using a children's book on pre- and postoperative anxiety and distress in 2-10 years old children undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy and their mothers. METHODS: Parents of the experimental group were given the preparation book during the preoperative visit at the hospital, whilst control subjects did not receive the book. Data collection was conducted on the evening prior to surgery (T1), and the evening post surgery (T2). At these two points in time, mothers completed a self-designed feeling states checklist and the state anxiety scale of the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory to assess their perceptions of the child's distress and their own level of anxiety. At T2, nurses were asked to give ratings of patient-caregiver variables, such as level of anxiety, cooperation with care or level of information. The sample under study consisted of 160 mother/child dyads in the experimental group and 240 controls. RESULTS: We found that mothers who received the book exhibited less self-reported state anxiety prior to the operation compared to mothers who did not. Simultaneously, children of the experimental group showed less distress in 4 of 11 feeling states. Nurses assessed the mothers of the experimental group to participate more in the child's care than control mothers. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that our preparation book can provide educational and anxiety-reducing benefits. Given the relatively low production costs and its easy administration, it can be recommended as a popular, practical and cost-efficient tool to prepare children and parents for surgery and hospitalization.
