Comparison of Methods for evaluating patient response to nursing care. Prenatal patients (chosen because the staff wished to know the patients attitudes toward their care and because on the health-illness continuum they were well and not dependent on staff for their daily needs) were asked to evaluate their obstetric care by means of a questionnaire and an interview. Of 191 questionnaires distributed in the obstetric clinic of a large university medical center, 79 completed forms were returned and 39 interviews were done, using the format of the questionnaires. The interviews were conducted from the clinic by a person not on the clinic staff. Overall results showed no significant difference in patient responses between interview or questionnaire. The study revealed that the patients generally were satisfied with their care but that certain areas needed improvement.

8-4 research. Part II: DESIGNING NURSING RESEARCH--EIGHT POINTs of encounter. In a two-part series, a proposal for research which integrates practical, technical, and political judgment is presented. Such research is called 8-4 research and is opposed to pseudotechnical research. 8-4 research is discussed as an advance over more current nursing research preoccupations. In Part I it is proposed that nursing research should be considered in terms of payoff not merely promise for nursing, that 8-4 research is a suitable paradigm for all nursing research, and that nursing research is a suitable preoccupation for any and all nursing personnel. In Part II eight points of encounter--as between 8-4 research and pseudotechnical research-pertinent to designing nursing research are given. A conception of design is proposed that displays the role of conation, drive, or intent in any designed research.

Nursing students' opinions about acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Eighty senior nursing students at the University of San Francisco (USF) were divided at random into four groups of 20. Two groups were pretested on their knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. One week later a 50-minute class in acupuncture and Chinese medicine was given in a community health class to one of the two pretexted groups and one of the two untested groups. Following the class, the test was given to all four groups. Using the Solomon Four-Group design to measure effects of pretesting and the class content, significant differences were found between the groups on questions seeking differences, to confirm the first hypothesis that an increase in knowledge about acupuncture and Chinese medicine will accompany an increase in its acceptance as a healing tool and the desire to learn more about it. A t-test on the results of pre- and post- tests confirmed the second hypothesis that there will be no difference between groups in history or maturation from one week to the next.

Pharmacokinetics and efficacy of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in the treatment of gastroenteritis in children. In vitro studies indicates that the constitutents of the drug combination co-trimoxazole are synergistic against Salmonella and effective against shigella isolated from children ill with gastroenteritis. The drug is well absorbed in children with gastroenteritis due to a variety of causes and is distributed, excreted and metabolized in a manner similar to that seen in normal adult volunteers. The drug is tolerated well by children with gastroenteritis even in very high dosages. Despite its in vitro and pharmacokinetic advantages, co-trimoxazole was not any more efficient than any other durg or no therapy in the treatment of salmonella gastroenteritis; it seems to have a role, however, in the treatment of typhoid fever and may be life-saving in patients infected with ampicillin- and chloramphenical-resistant strains. It is also effective in the treatment of shigella gastroenteritis and is recommended where ampicillin-resistant strains are encountered. Its potential usefulenss for the treatment of other bacterial causes of gastroenteritis in children must be evaluated by further controlled therapeutic trials.


Genetic control of wing disc development in  Drosophila. In multicellular organisms morphogenesis results from organized cell proliferation and spatial cell differentiation.  A genetic approach to development has the two-fold task of explaining how the genetic information is selected and how it expresses itself in developmental operations.  The genetic and developmental analysis of morphogenetic mutants in Drosophila has thrown some light on both problems.  Experiments on genetic mosaics confirm the idea that the genetic information is expressed within the cell itself.  The behaviour of those morphogenetic mutants in mosaics suggests the existence of at least two classes of morphogenetic genes.  Genes of a first group (cyto-differentiation genes) would include those controlling cell behaviour relevant to morphogenesis and common to most developing systems: mitotic rate, mitotic orientation, cell recognition and cuticular differentiation.  Those of a second group (selector genes) seem to control developmental pathways and share several operational characteristics.  A functional scheme is advanced showing how selector genes may become activated and control development.  We postulate that inductor molecules interfere with the products of activator genes which are selector specific.  In this way signals extrinsic to the genome become translated into genetic ones.  The activation, or repression, of selector genes occurs once in development and remains clonally irreversible.  This, possibly, is the genetic basis of a stable state of determination.  However, the products of these activated selector genes are required throughout subsequent development in order to maintain a certain pathway.  They may function by activating in turn the corresponding cytodifferentiation genes leading to changes in developmental operations.


Attmepts to analyse the biochemical basis of regional differences in animal eggs. The microinjection of cell material or macromolecules into living cells is potentially useful for identifying cell components responsible for positional information.  Experiments with purified globin mRNA injected into frog oocytes and eggs show that macromolecules can retain their activity when injected into living cells.  Experiments with histones show that injected macromolecules can take up their normal intracellular location in living cells.  Attempts have been made to identify the molecules involved in regulating DNA synthesis, ribosomal RNA synthesis, and early developmental events by fractionating egg cytoplasm, and by rescuing maternal effect mutants.  The present state, and theoretical basis, of such experiments is discussed.


Pattern specification in the insect embryo. Specification of developmental pathways by specific determining substances prelocalized in the egg cytoplasm is duscussed using the so-called germ cell determinants as an example.  Some theoretical considerations speak against the assumption that in insects the various elements of the basic body plan are specified by a prelocalized mosaic of specific determinants.  Experimental evidence also points towards a largely epigenetic mode of pattern specification.  The process of axial pattern specification can be altered drastically by experiment: in some insects, tail ends may be formed in place of head parts and identical wequences of bocy segments may be specified two or even three times along the longitudinal egg axis.  The experimental results indicate that polarity and regional character of pattern elements formed are specified by one and the same influence, and that this influence can be shifted to or simulated in various other egg regions by transposition or elimination of egg components, or by UV irradiation.  Evidence obtained from several types of experiment in the chironomid midge Smittia points towards a key role for local metabolsim or energy charge in determination of cell polarity and in pattern specification.  A model for embryonic pattern specification involving differential reaction of cells to a system of longitudinal gradients, which was proposed in 1960, can in principle formally account for all results described.  Some striking coincidences of model and experimental results with Wolpert's concept of positional information are noted.  Finally it is pointed out that universality of mechansims for pattern specification is much more likely with respect to formal principles than at the level of their physiological realization.


The development of neuronal connection patterns in the visual systems of insects. The retina of the compound eye contains a patterned spatial array of receptor cell groups whose symmetry and component numerical constancy allow the unique identification of individual cells.  The axon connection patterns arising from the retina similarly are uniquely identifiable and relate by simple consistnet transpositons to the retinal position of their somata.  The coincidence of these features and the epidermal origin or retinula cells provides a model system for the developmental analysis of neural patterns.  It is known that the retina develops by a wave of determinative mitoses and subsequent cellular differentiation, transmitted inductively from a posteriorly situated differentiation centre, which passes over the prospective eye field independently of the growing axon connections with the optic lobe.  The ganglion cells of the optic lobe are similarly produced in a temporal sequence but their subsequent differentiation depends on centripetal innervation and proceeds as a wave initiated in the retina.  Axon growth between the retina and optic neuropiles occurs in this temporal sequence, appears largely non-exploratory and dependent on mechanical guidance.  By contrast, individual axon connections within the neuropile form probabilistically by extensive filopod explorations between cones.  Both growth between and growth within the neuropile depend upon features in the pattern of retinal development which are discussed.


The structure and properties of a compartment border: the intersegmental boundary in Oncopeltus. García-Bellido et al. have described how groups of cells in developing Drosophila become subdivided into 'compartments'.  Cells within any compartment have rigid prospective fates such that, while their progeny may give rise to variable regions within a compartment, they can never generate cells in any other compartment.  Analysis of the position and shapes on clones allows definition of the compartment boundaries.  I report studies on a compartment boundary (likewise demonstrated by clonal analysis) in the hemipteran insects Oncopeltus and Rhodnius.  The advantage of this border is that it can easily be identified in the light and electron microscopes.  There is an abrupt change of cell shape at the border, which has been analysed by means of serial electron microscope sections.  The types of cell junctions at the border and elsewhere are compared and shown to have no qualitative differences.  The border is an effective barrier to the growth of peripheral sensory axons, although not apparently to dendrites.  The intersegmental boundary allows passage of information relating to cuticle deposition, wounding response, tracheolar movement and intercellular coupling.  Making wounds across the border leads to greater effects on polarity of epidermal cells than making similar wounds elsewhere on the tergites.


Topography and topology in functional recovery of regenreated sensory and motor systems. Motor and sensory nerves can re-establish coordinated movement and accurate sensation when they regrow into denervated tissues of some lower vertebrates.  Motor nerves achieve their end by a competitive process in which each motoneuron innervates many muscle fibres but, in the presence of many applicants, only those synapses from motoneurons most appropriate to a muscle cell, with respect to the original pattern of development, are retained in a functional state.  The discharge pattern of a motoneuron, determined by its connections with the network of central interneurons, is not sensitive to the location of the muscles in which the axon terminates, but the efficacy of transmission from the terminals is.  Sensory nerves re-establish their functional specificity as to receptor type by an inductive  process occurring at the terminals along with the cessation of growth.  However, in the case of cutaneous nerves they can terminate anywhere over the skin surface.  The return of correctly localized reflex behaviour therefore demands a restructuring of the central nervous system in response to local position-specific signals, presumably of developmental origin, that are supplied to the sensory nerves by the skin.  The re-arrangement of the central nervous connections made by the central processes of the sensory neurons probably uses the same competitive mechanism of enabling and disabling formed synaptic connections as is used in sorting out the correct site of functional termination of the peripheral processes of motoneurons.


A molecular approach to retinotectal specificity. An assay is described to examine the hypothesis that retinal neurons adhere preferentially to that part of the optic tectum near theri normal synaptic termini.  The method measures the adherence of isotopically labelled cell bodies from either the dorsal or ventral half of the neural retina of chick embryos to dorsal and ventral tectum halves.  When a labelled cell suspension is prepared from a dorsal half-retina, more cells adhere to the ventral half of the tectum.  When the cells are from the ventral part of the retina, more bind to the dorsal half of the tectum.  This preferential adhesion mimics the retinotectal projection found in vivo and supports an interpretation of neuronal specificity dependent on cell surface adhesive properties.  Molecular mokels are presented that utilize glycosyltransferases and their substrates as the basis for adhesive recognition.  Two of these models suggest that quantitative changes in the distribution of transferases and their substrates determine retinotectal specificity.  The third proposes qualitative variations in these molecules across the retina and tectum.


Feather pattern development.

Feather pattern development. Experiments on skin development in amniotes have shown conclusively that the pattern of cutaneous appendages is determined by the dermis.  The following concept of feather pattern formation is proposed.  The diameter of feather rudiments and the dermal cell density inside the dermal feather condensations are genetically fixed, region-specific parameters.  The first feather rudiment is established along the middorsal line (in the lumbar region) as soon as a sufficient width of dense dermis is available.  This occurs at about 6 1/2 days in the chick embryo.  The next rudiments are formed in front of and behind the first one, within the longitudinal band of dense dermis.  They are laid down as close as possible to the first one, given rudiment diameter and dermal condensation cell density.  In other words, as they form, the middorsal rudiments are tangent circles.. Later they become separated from one another due to longitudinal growth.  As progressively more dense dermis becomes available to the sides of the middorsal row of rudiments, new rudiments are being laid down lateral to the middorsal row, in successive longitudinal rows, until, by 9 or 10 days, all the available dense dermis has been used up.  Again, the rudiments in the lateral rows, given their diameter and dermal condensation cell density, develop as close as possible to those of the preceding row, i.e. tangentially to two neighbouring rudiments of the preceding row, thus generating a hexagonal pattern.

Regeneration and duplication in imaginal discs. When two complementary fragments of a Drosophila imaginal disc are cultured in adult abdomens before transfer to host larvae for metamorphosis, the usual result is that one of the two fragments regenerates the missing parts while the other fragment duplicates the anlagen already present.  To account for this it is proposed that in the disc there is a gradient of developmental capacity, by which new positional information can be generated from a cut surface only in the downward direction in the gradient, irrespective of the physical direction faced by the cut surface.  The same kind of behaviour is shown by other epimorphic systems, such as the regenerating appendages of amphibians and of hemmimetabolous insects, and the regenerating body segments of annelids.  The regeneration-duplication rule has been shown to apply for thirteen different cuts in the wing disc, some across the proximodistal and others across the anteroposterior axis.  In both axes there is a reversal in the direction of regenerative ability at the approximate centre of the disc.  As an alternative to the hypothesis of orthogonal double gradients, it is proposed that the wing disc has multiple gradients of developmental capacity which radiate from the centre of the disc.  The location of this centre is known, and its properties are being studied.


Morphogenesis of the vertebrate limb.

Morphogenesis of the vertebrate limb. Pattern formation in both the developing and the regenerating vertebrate limb can be understood in terms of the assignment of positional values to cells.  The positional value may then control the selection of a course of cytodifferentiation as, say, muscle or cartilage.  It is proposed that the proximodistal coordinate of positional value is extablished by a mechanism based on autonomous change with time in a 'progress zone' at the tip of the limb bud.  The anteroposterior coordinate seems to be specified by a positional signal from an orgainzing region.  Only cells in the progress zone respond to this signal.  The change of character in the progress zone may be linked to cell division.  It seems that each skeletal rudiment may initially be the same length, corresponding to the amount of tissue that leaves the progress zone during one cell cycle.  The lengths on the skeletal elements are already specified shortly after exit from the progress zone, and are capable of very little regulation.  The positional value may determine the pregramme of later growth.  The relevance of the progress zone model to epimorphic regulation, and amphibian limb regeneration in particular, is discussed.

Continuing evaluation of coronary care.

Continuing evaluation of coronary care. Continuing evaluation of coronary care is necessary to determine its present effectiveness and to establish direction in the effort to decrease mortality after myocardial infarction. Data have been collected on 157 consecutive patients diagnosed as having myocardial infarction who were admitted to the coronary-care unit at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Ariz. The hospital is a teaching hospital with a 560-bed capacity. Data sheets were completed on each patient at the time of transfer from the coronary-care unit. The accumulated data were processed by a computer at the end of a 13-month period. The overall mortality for the group was 16.5 per cent. The factors which were found to have a significant effect on mortality were: (1) location of infarction, (2) presence of heart failure, (3) occurrence of cardiogenic shock, (4) age, and (5) the presence of intraventricular conduction defect. In 19 of the 26 deaths after myocardial infarction, the terminal event was associated with congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, or cardiogenic shock. Three patients died of resistant arrhythmia, four of ventricular rupture. These figures indicate that arrhythmia is not a primary cause of death after myocardial infarction and that attention must also be directed to the early diagnosis and treatment of left ventricular failure if coronary care survival rates are to improve.

Clinical evaluation of a new computerized arrhythmia monitoring system. A study has been made of the accuracy of a computerized system of arrhythmia monitoring in the coronary-care unit of the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Hospital. The system provides beat-to-beat analysis of cardiac rhythm and QRS morphology and stores information for display of incidence of abnormalities and trend curves. The variables monitored by the system include: (1) heart rate, (2) early beats, (3) late beats, (4) abnormal QRS waveforms, and combinations of 2, 3, and 4. Accuracy analysis was performed using a standard ECG trace with a simultaneous record of computer classification of each QRS complex on a dual-channel recorder. Thirty-four patients with various cardiac arrhythmias were studied and 188,000 QRS complexes were evaluated. The number of true abnormal beats (abnormal in timing or waveform) recorded by the ECG was 12,194 out of 188,000 or 6.5 per cent. Computer classification accuracy was as follows: false positives (computer diagnosis abnormal but ECG diagnosis normal), 0.10 per cent (191 complexes) of all complexes and 1.56 per cent of true positives. False negatives (computer diagnosis normal but ECG diagnosis abnormal), 0.70 per cent (84 complexes) of abnormal beats. Computer monitoring and analysis of seven variables in cardiac rhythm and QRS waveform abnormalities can be performed with a high degree of accuracy using a compact computer system suitable for intensive-care units.

A symposium on surgery for coronary artery disease. Pre-infarction syndrome--surgical indications. Although the atherosclerotic process does not penetrate the coronary circulation at subendocardial levesl, the hemodynamic effects of coronary arterial narrowing occur at the endocardial and myocardial cellular levels. Theee resultant deprivation of blood supply to these tissue areas eventually leads to myocardial infarction. In certain clinical situations, a sudden increase in symptoms signifies and impending acute ischemic process. Three parameters have clinically been used to evaluate the changes that lead progressively to myocardial infarction: symptoms, electrocardiogram, and serum enzyme levels. The typical preinfarction patient experiences episodes of acute angina pectoris, sometimes intense and prolonged, and often unresponsive to nitroglycerin. Physical examination is usually not remarkable, serum enzyme levels are normal if tissue damage has not occurred, and the electrocardiogram is variable with pain. Th pathologic process in the preinfarction patient is frequently confined to the proximal arterial segment of one or more of the coronary arteries, usually in the form of a high-grade (in excess of 95 per cent) atherosclerotic lesion. This pathologic condition presents a satisfactory distal arterial segment suitable for bypass, and these patients are ideal candidates for urgent myocardial revascularization.


Surgical correction of coronary arterial disease associated with lesions of the aorta ad its major branches. When a candidate for aortocoronary bypass has an associated lesion of the aorta orone of its major branches, a single operation may be indicated for correction of both problems. Three typical cases illustrate the concept of the combined approach to surgical management of coronary arterial lesions and associated carotid arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and superficial-femoral arterial disease. An aortocoronary bypass candidate with carotid stenosis may be in imminent danger of both myocardial infarction and stroke. The selection of the proper sequence of operations under these circumstances is extremely important because any form of hypotension might produce a stroke. Cardiopulmonary bypass usually results in at least a transient reduction of the systemic pressure which would further compromise the blood flow across the tight stenosis of the carotid artery. Therefore, we recommended repair of the carotid lesion before aortocoronary bypass is attempted in order to avoid the possibility of postoperative stroke. The combined presence of coronary arterial disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm is indication for operation, but resection of the aneurysm involves cross-clamping of the aorta, and subsequent changes in arterial pressure might impair the coronary circulation and lead to myocardial infarction. On the other hand, the systemic heparinization required for the establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass and arterial pressure changes could affect the integrity of aneurysm. Unless the abdominal aneurysm is expanding, however, we elect to perform coronay revascularization first, with resection and graft replacement of the aneurysm immediately after heparin reversal. Occlusive disease of the superficial femoral artery can be corrected immediately following aortocoronary bypass. Since the femoral and upper leg incisions have been performed, in certain cases it is convenient to complete the femoral popliteal bypass while the chest is being closed, thus saving a separate operation to correct the femoral occlusive disease.

Decisions to treat critically ill patients: a comparison of social versus medical considerations. A questionnaire survey shows that physicians in four medical specialties evaluate chronically and terminally ill patients not only in terms of the physiological aspects of illness but also in terms of the extent to which they are capable of interacting with others. A patient's potential capacity to perform his social roles depends upon his "salvageability," i;e., the likelihood that he will be able to resume his roles and the degree of irreversible physical or mental damage which indicates his capacity for resuming them. The priorities in terms of treatment are the following: (1) salvageable patients with physical damage; (2) salvageable patients with mental damage and unsalvageable patients with physical damage; (3) unsalvageable patients with mental damage. Within these catagories variables such as patient attitude, family attitude, age, and social class, which define the social environment of the patient, also influence the physician's decision to treat him. Studies of hospital records of cases in two of the specialties were consistent with they survey findings. The findings suggest that there is a disparity between the traditional ethic concerning the treatment of such patients and the actual behavior of many physicians. As a solution to the inconsistencies between ideal and actual behavior, the development of medical guidelines for the withdrawal of treatment with respect ot certain specifically defined conditions is recommended.


New organizations out of old ones: teaching group practices out of private practice and outpatient departments. A private group practice and a traditional hospital medical clinic are joined together as a teaching group practice for primary care (Internal Medical Associates). Responsible for revenues as well as costs, the practice is administered by a board of managers composed of physicians, nurses, and administrators in the practice. This decentralization of practice from the clinical department and hospital administration has resulted in (1) a reduction in the numbers of physicians needed for the practice, (2) a greater visit census with increased physician productivity, and (3) a reduced operating deficit and better understanding of transient and educational costs. The matrix organization of the board of managers has resulted in better communication and a commitment of the staff to common goals. Public demand for a single standard of care for patients of all backgrounds, professional aspirations to work in groups, and educators' interest in training outside the hospital converge to make such reorganizations of practical necessity.


The development of ambiguous federal policy: early and periodic screening, diagnosis, and treatment (EPSDT). This paper examines why Congress's first major program for comprehensive health care to needy children took five years to begin even partial operation. An examination of the 1967 program's legislative history reveals that Congress paid little attention to EPSDT's implications: it was left ambiguous whether health (Title V) or welfare (Title XIX) would administer; costs were never clearly stated; eligibility and scope of services to be provided were left vague. Despite pressure from welfare rights interest groups, these ambiguities delayed the preparation of regulation and guidelines which never did succeed in resolving the question of overlapping jurisdiction and costs. In addition, many states' resistance to paying for the program further held up implementation. The paper concluded that: (1) Congress's and HEW's unwillingness to face up to the real costs of health programs threatens long-term public and state support for such programs; (2) division of responsibility between health and welfare lessens the impact of a program; (3) grant-in-aid programs give states the power to distort the intent of federal health policies; and (4) where states fail to implement such policies, initiatives may pass to consumer advocacy groups.


Teamwork in health care in the U.S.: a sociological perspective. Reactions to teamwork, whether in health care, science and research, or in other areas, are seldom neutral. While some see in it a panacea that will help solve many stubborn organizational problems, others condemn it on a variety of grounds. Impetus to the development of team approaches to the delivery of health care and concern over their performance have been tied to a number of trends: a marked increase in specialization and division of labor as a result of expansion in health-related knowledge and technology, a corresponding emphasis upon coordination, a broadening concept of health and an increase in the types of activities included under its rubric, and a manpower shortage especially in the highly trained professions. This paper reviews current studies, important findings, and points out neglected dimensions. Themes prominent in the literature include: (a) status, power, authority, and influence; (b) roles and professional domains; and (c) decision making and communication. A number of important dimensions seem to be neglected, such as the effectiveness of teams as an approach to the delivery of services, the modes of organization and the dilemma of gate-keeping decisions, and the relations of team approaches to the manpower problems.

The school nurse practitioner.

The school nurse practitioner. Whatever the specific details of their practices, SNPs have shown themselves able to function effectively in their expanded roles because they have assumed more responsibility, initiative, interdependence, and independence in caring for children.  Specifically, they have learned to be confident of their decision-making abilities, to adapt themselves to an expanded framework of nursing, and to regard themselves as highly qualified professionals.  What this means to the individual nurse practitioner, the parent and--most important--the child is well summed up in these remarks from Larea Younkman, SNP in the Denver Public Schools: "Previously," she writes, "my recommendations to the parents as to what to do and when, such as seeking medical attention, were frequently too general and consequently not heeded by the parent.  Now when I talk to a parent, I am not only confident of my findings but I'm also much more convinced that what I suggest is necessary.  As a result, parents are looking at SNPs differently, trusting our judgment, and, I think, following through on the advice we offer to a greater extent than previously."  Thus the SNP could well be the vital bridge between this country's traditional system of health care delivery and those children who are deprived of the care they need through reluctance, ignorance, parental apathy, or lack of available health care facilities.

An evaluation of the use of intraventricularly administered [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine as a marker for endogenous brain 5-hydroxytryptamine. Following the intraventricular injection of a small amount of [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]5-HT), the amount of radioactivity in telencephalic structures on the injected side was 6--7 times larger than that in corresponding areas on the opposite side. Moreover, a multiphasic disappearance of [3H]5-HT from whole brain or midbrain was found after the intraventricular injection of the labeled amine. However, after the intraventricular injection of [3H]tryptophan, the levels of [3H]5-HT in midbrain declined in a monophasic manner. A significant portion of the labeled amine derived from intraventricularly administered [3H]5-HT was resistant to the depleting effect of Ro4-1284 or to that elicited by destruction of the midbrain raphe nuclei, both of which caused an almost complete loss  of endogenous 5-HT and labeled 5-HT formed from tryptophan. It thus appears that the intraventricular injection of [3H]5-HT leads to the formation of artifactual pools which are not present if the amine is synthesized in vivo. Studies with 6-hydroxydopamine suggested, however, that uptake of [3H]5-HT into adrenergic neurons did not occur to any great extent.

Minocycline sensitivity related to the phage type of multiply resistant staphylococci. Clinical isolated of multiply antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphlococcus aureus were divided into three  groups by phage typing. The most prevalent type, which is usually cloxacillin resistant, was found to be moderately sensitive to minocycline. Unfortunately the degree of sensitivity is not sufficient to warrant the use of the antibiotic in severe staphlococcal infection.

Further evolution of a strain of Staphylococcus aureus in vivo: evidence for significant inactivation of flucloxacillin by penicillinase. A strain of Staphylococcus aureus (no. FAR4) has been isolated at intervals, for 32 months, from the sputum of a patient with cystic fibrosis of the lung. Changes in the properties of isolates of this strain over the first 18 months have been reported previously (Lacey et al., 1973 and 1974). During the last 14 months (May 1973 to July 1974), further evolution has occurred to produce a total of 31 distinct phenotypes. Recent changes are as follows. 1. The ability of isolates to produce penicillinase in vitro was closely correlated with flucloxacillin therapy. Inactivation of flucloxacillin by penicillinase was demonstrated by diffusion testing (but not MIC determination) in vitro and may have occurred to a significant extent in vivo. 2. Lincomycin-resistant mutants slowly disappeared from the sputum after the termination of clindamycin therapy. 3. All of the recent isolates were resistant to erythromycin, possibly because of the linkage of the genes coding for erythromycin resistance with those coding for the production of delta-haemolysin; delta-haemolysin may be an important "virulence factor".

A comprehensive approach to dental health in a school population. A program to provide school children with dental health education and preventive services was initiated by the Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry. This program utilized several generally untapped resources. The emphasis was on classroom education using teachers who were motivated by special workshops as well as students of dental auxiliary training programs. These dental auxiliary students under the supervision of a dental health educator were used to educate the classroom teachers as well as to teach children in the classroom. Direct dental services were also provided in the program in the form of preventive services utilizing an unused dental chair available at a school.

Antibiotic sensitivity of two Aeromonas and nine Pseudomonas species. An agar dilution method was used to determine the in vitro sensitivity of different Pseudomonas and Aeromonas species to sulphonamide, tetracycline, colistin, gentamicin, tobramycin, amplicillin, carbenicillin, and cephalothin. P. aeruginosa was generally sensitive to carbenicillin, colistin, tobramycin, and gentamicin. P. putida and P. fluorescens were generally resistant to beta-lactam antibodies but sensitive to gentamicin and tobramycin. P. cepacia and P. maltophilia were mostly resistant to colistin, gentamicin and tobramycin. Other Pseudomonas species were usually more sensitive to the antibodies tested. Strains of Aeromonas hydrophila were mostly resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics but sensitive to other antibiotics, while strains of A. shigelloides were very sensitive to all antibiotics tested.

On paying the fiddler to change the tune: further evidence from Ontario regarding the impace of universal health insurance on the organization and patterns of medical practice. This paper compares the findings from a 1973 community household interview survey conducted in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, with the findings from a similar study conducted in 1968 in the same city by a research team from the World Health Organization. Sault Ste. Marie is the site of the first Canadian consumer-sponsored prepaid group practice. Opposition by the private, solo practice sector of this community to this new modality of medical practice was considerable. Since 1969, with the introduction of universal health insurance in Ontario, the cost and benefit differences between solo and group practice medical care have been eliminated. By comparing the findings from the 1973 study with similar data from the 1968 WHO survey, observations can be made about the impact of universal health insurance on the organization and patterns of medical practice. Implications for the United States are important in view of the recent passage of the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 and the expected enactment of some form of national health insurance.


Dental care and the health maintenance organization concept. The principal dental diseases, caries and periodontal disease, affect almost the entire population and result in considerable pain and discomfort, with eventual tooth loss, if untreated. These disorders can either be prevented or their effects minimized through dental intervention so that intact functioning dentitions can be maintained. Despite the fact that enough practicing dentists probably exist in the United States to achieve these results, the majority of the population lose all of their natural teeth if they live out their normal life spans. The solo-practice fee-for-service system, even with third-party payment, may reduce the difficulties somewhat but cannot solve the problem. Prepaid dental group practice, either independently or as part of a general health care system, has the potential of virtually eliminating edentulism in populations for which it has responsibility. At present, it is possible to project costs and resource needs with sufficient accuracy to start viable entities. The "health maintenance organization" concept, therefore, applies to dental care.


Factors affecting the choice between prepaid group practice and alternative insurance programs. This paper examines the basis for the selection of prepaid group practice in a dual-choice situation, and the social, attitudinal, and health characteristics of populations choosing prepaid programs in contrast to other plans. When asked in an open-ended way why they made the decisions they did, those selecting prepaid group practice most frequently referred to the more comprehensive coverage provided and to the fact that at the time of choice they lacked a continuing or adequate relationship with a physician. Enrollees in the prepaid program were better educated and, contrary to previous research, more likely to be unmarried. There was little evidence that enrollees in the prepaid plan brought with them distinctive kinds of attitudes and orientations toward illness and medical care. Enrollees in the prepaid program were also comparable to those retaining an alternative health insurance option on a number of indicators of health status. However, prepaid practice enrollees tended to report more chronic conditions than persons who declined to enroll in the prepaid program. Although the overrepresentation of persons with chronic illnesses is not large, data drawn from a related study suggests that persons with several chronic conditions tend to be heavy users of medical services.


The pricing behavior of medical groups.

The pricing behavior of medical groups. This study discusses a model of the pricing behavior of medical groups. Using data collected, by a mail survey, from medical groups in North Carolina, an empirical test of the model is performed. The results suggest that the prices charged by medical groups are positively influenced by the per capita income of the county in which the group is located, and the per physician utilization of medical, technical, and office personnel. They also suggest that for groups in the sample, a non-physician manager and a non-salaried system of remuneration to member physicians are negatively related to the price of medical services. The results of this study also indicate that the managerial structure of group practice is an important area for further research.

On the development and classification of diagnoses. Nurses, as noted earlier, always have and are now using the five steps of the diagnosis process. This utilization is a valuable and essential element of a profession. On the other hand, conceptual analysis of the process suggests that all ten steps are necessary conditions for a natural history of nursing. Such a natural history would constitute a taxonomy of nursing diagnoses and would identify and codify essential concerns and associated nomenclatures which have been agreed upon by members of the profession. In turn, such an agreement would lead to a common universe of discourse for the clinicians, the students, the teachers, the administrators, and the researchers in nursing. A workable taxonomy would provide potential points of reference, purpose, and direction and would facilitate communication and collaboration in nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing research. Such a taxonomy would constitute a systematic ordering of the unique body of knowledge of nursing and would provide a foundation of level-one theory. On this basis could be built higher-level theories that are grounded in observable phenomena. This development, in turn, would create a bridge across the knowledge-practice gap and would allow more effective application of scientific knowledge to specific clinical patient-care and nursing problems. A workable taxonomy of nursing diagnoses would articulate areas of unique concern to nurses and nursing and would allow more unequivocal communication of the focus, limits, and nature of the realm of nursing to other professions, third-party payers, governmental agencies, and the public. Without the development of such a framework, nursing research will continue to flounder, nursing education will continue to lack articulation of ordered body of knowledge of nursing concerns and related cognitive and other competencies, and nursing practice will continue to drift toward the use of medical terminology and to focus on dependent and technical nursing functions and the extension of the role of the nurse in the domain of medicine. In short, the lack of a sound taxonomy of nursing diagnoses endangers the realm of independent functions of nursing--its care, comfort, and compassion for the person who suffers from illness, and its focus on increased patient self-help ability, self-determination, and health promotion.
