The first 50 years of military radiology 1895–1945

Following the discovery of X-rays in 1895 by Wilhelm Röntgen the value to the military surgeon of the new technique was soon realised. The localisation of retained bullets by radiography avoided inappropriate exploration of the wound. The X-rays were first used on casualties from the Abyssinian War of 1896 and the developing radiological technology was progressively applied to military surgery. In addition the needs of warfare stimulated the development of all aspects of radiology.     

Where's the Beef? The Promise and the Reality of Clinical Documentation

Physician-generated emergency department clinical documentation (information obtained from clinician observations and summarized decision processes inclusive of all manner of electronic systems capturing, storing, and presenting clinical documentation) serves four purposes: recording of medical care and communication among providers; payment for hospital and physician; legal defense from medical negligence allegations; and symptom/disease surveillance, public health, and research functions. In the consensus development process described by Handler, these objectives were balanced with the consideration of efficiency, often evaluated as physician time and clinical documentation system costs, in recording the information necessary for their accomplishment. The consensus panel session participants and authors recommend that 1) clinical documentation be electronically retrievable; 2) selection and implementation be evidence-based and grounded on valid metrics (research is needed to identify these metrics); 3) the user interface be crafted to promote clinical excellence through high-quality information collection and efficient charting techniques; 4) the priorities for integration of clinical information be standardized and implemented within enterprises and across health and information systems; 5) systems use accepted standards for bidirectional, real-time clinical data exchange, without limiting the location or number of simultaneous users; 6) systems fully utilize existing electronic sources of specific patient information and general medical knowledge; 7) systems automatically and reliably capture appropriate data that support electronic billing for emergency department services; and 8) systems promote bedside documentation and mobile access.     

Neurosurgical robotics: a review of brain and spine applications

Neurosurgery has traditionally been at the forefront of advancing technologies, adapting new techniques and devices successfully in an effort to increase the safety and efficacy of brain and spine surgery. Among these adaptations are surgical robotics. This paper reviews some of the more promising systems in neurosurgical robotics, including brain and spine applications in use and in development. The purpose of the discussion is twofold—to discuss the most promising models for neurosurgical applications, and to discuss some of the pitfalls of robotic neurosurgery given the unique anatomy of the brain and spine.

Cartilage destruction in small joints by rheumatoid arthritis: assessment of fat-suppressed three-dimensional gradient-echo MR pulse sequences in vitro

Purpose. To assess the accuracy of different MR sequences for the detection of articular cartilage abnormalities in rheumatoid arthritis. Design and patients. Ten metacarpophalangeal joints and 10 metatarsophalangeal joints (specimens from arthritis patients undergoing ablative joint surgery) were examined with a fat-suppressed (FS) 3D FLASH, a FS 3D FISP, a FS 2D fast spin-echo T2-weighted, and a 2D FS spin-echo T1-weighted sequence. Each cartilage lesion and each cortical lesion was graded from 0 to 4 (modified Outerbridge staging system). Subsequently, the results of each sequence were compared with the macroscopic findings and statistically tested against each other. Results. The study shows that 3D gradient-echo sequences with fat suppression were best for imaging and grading of cartilage lesions in arthritis of the small joints of the hands and feet. Using 3D techniques, all grade 2, grade 3, and grade 4 lesions of cartilage or cortical bone were detected. Conclusion. FS 3D gradient-echo techniques were best for the detection and grading of hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone lesions in rheumatoid arthritis. MRI has a great potential as an objective method of evaluating cartilage damage and bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis.     

再论医院后勤服务社会化的可行性

目前，经济高速发展，服务体系和水准相对滞后，加上管理者素质的提高，现代管理技术的应用，以及后勤管理体制的改革，为医院后勤工作向社会分离提供了条件，也为推进医院后勤服务社会化提供了机遇。但规范卫生服务市场体系是后勤服务社会化的保障，故要建立：卫生物质流通、后勤人才流动、经济信息市场及卫生建设筹资机构。在推进后勤服务社会化时尚需解决：①支持条件；②实施集团联盟；③注意经营定位等问题。

黄芪水提及除杂工艺条件的筛选研究

目的：优选黄芪水煎及除杂工艺的最佳条件。方法：采用L3(3^4)正交表，以黄芪甲甙的提取率和干膏收率综合考察黄芪的提取工艺条件；采用黄芪甲甙与干膏的变化多少作为Ⅱ型ZTC1 1天然澄清剂用于黄芪水提液除杂的考察指标。结果：黄芪采用饮片(厚2～3cm)，加10倍量水提取3次，每次1.5小时，黄芪甲甙的提取率在90％以上；提取液浓缩至生药／水=1／3时，采用Ⅱ型ZTCl 1天然澄清剂(8％B、4％A组分)除杂效果要好于传统的醇沉方法，且能降低成本，缩短工时。结论：本试验的工艺条件和除杂工艺符合大生产的要求，并能降低成本，保留黄芪水提液中其他有效成分，具有推广意义。
