PRETERM MILK IS AT LEAST AS NUTRITIOUS AS FORMULA

Preterm infants fed their mothers' milk showed equivalent growth and superior energy retention to a similar cohort of infants fed formula.     

NURSING ASSISTANTS AS CO-THERAPISTS

Summary The present study was conducted in a small 20-bed hospital for severely subnormal children. Ten children who had evidenced a history of problem behaviour were the subjects of behaviour modification programmes aimed at reducing the frequency of problem behaviour. The main aim of the study was to establish if nursing assistants can become effective co-therapists. Two questions were investigated: (1) Can nursing assistants after 12 months' training have a sound knowledge of the principles of behaviour modification and (2) Can these nursing assistants effectively employ behaviour modification techniques which result in reductions of problem behaviour episodes? It is argued that although nursing assistants may have had an inadequate and erroneous knowledge of the principles of behaviour modification, they were able to employ behavioural techniques which affected reductions in the problem behaviours recorded. Clinical difficulties related to applied research of this kind are raised in discussion.     

SOCIAL WORKERS AS EVALUATORS

This paper reports on the efforts of a Social Work Department to successfully develop an ongoing consumer assessment procedure in a University Based psychiatric hospital. Developmental aspects of the evaluation program are described along with implementation problems and resolution strategies. Methods of feedback of consumer information and initial utilization of findings within the hospital system are discussed.     

HUMANS AS WALKING LEGUMES

Negative nitrogen balances were consistently found in studies of adults and growing boys in the New Guinea Highlands. The subjects were all consuming their normal diet, which consists mainly of sweet potatoes. It is hypothesized that their intestinal flora may be capable of fixing nitrogen.

924例衣原体、支原体鉴定及药敏分析

目的检测非淋菌性泌尿生殖道感染者的衣原体、支原体,为临床提供诊断依据并指导科学用药。方法收集门诊、住院的妇科、皮肤科、泌尿外科的送检标本,行沙眼衣原体、解脲及人型支原体检测加药敏试验。结果924例标本中,阳性458例,感染率为49.6%,其中支原体阳性376例(占82.1%),衣原体阳性6例(占1.3%),衣原体、支原体混合感染76例(占16.6%)。结论对疑似患者进行衣原体检测及支原体培养加药敏试验,对临床提供诊断依据及指导合理用药有着重要的意义。     

红细胞平均体积和分布宽度与新生儿黄疸的相关性

目的探讨新生儿红细胞平均体积(MCV)和分布宽度(RDW)与新生儿黄疸的相关性。方法用确诊新生儿黄疸的黄疸组和黄疸消失后的痊愈组所测出的MCV和RDW值与足月的新生儿正常组的MCV和RDW值,进行t检验统计分析。另在黄疸组中,总胆红素浓度由低至高分成四组,总胆红素在30~130μmol/L的为B组,131~230μmol/L的为C组,231~330μmol/L的为D组,331~430μmol/L的为E组,分别检测MCV和RDW与正常组(A组)的MCV和RDW进行统计学分析。结果黄疸组与正常组的MCV和RDW值之间存在显著性差异(p<0.05),痊愈组与正常组的MCV和RDW值之间均无显著性差异(p>0.05)。在不同总胆红素浓度四个组中,RDW值的变化与总胆红素浓度的相关系数r=0.891,MCV值的变化与总胆红素浓度的相关系数r=0.872,B组的MCV和A组的MCV在统计学上无显著性差异(p>0.05),C、D、E组的MCV和A组的MCV在统计学上有显著性差异(p<0.05),B、C、D、E组的RDW与A组的RDW在统计学上均有显著性差异(p<0.05)。结论在新生儿黄疸中,红细胞的MCV和RDW值均增高,表明新生儿黄疸时红细胞体积增大,异质性增加,提示黄疸为溶血性黄疸的可能性大。     

医院声像档案管理及其开发利用探讨

声像档案是一种最直观的、最真实的档案材料 ,在档案管理中占有重要地位。但目前医院声像档案管理中存在一些缺陷 ,表现在对其重视程度、管理制度、管理手段、开发利用等方面存在多种缺陷 ,针对上述存在的问题 ,作者结合医院实际 ,就加强声像档案管理、声像档案数字化及其开发利用等方面进行深入探讨。     

院办报刊的作用及编辑问题

《医院简讯》或《院报》是医院编印的内部资料,具有编辑灵活,印制简便,容量适中,报道范围宽广等优点,在医院管理尤其在医院文化建设中有着特殊的作用。笔者自1989年调到汕头市中心医院办公室工作以来,主编(含责编)《医院简讯》78期、院报30多期,对编辑《医院简讯》或《院报》小有体会。现汇报如下,供同道们参考。1　院办报刊的作用编辑印刷院办报刊,目前仍然不是医院管理中一项必需的常规工作。有的医院领导将其当为可有可无的工作,有的管理者认为多一事不如少一事,还有的地方政府甚至发文宣布包括医院在内的大部分单位不准编印内部简讯或…

METALS AS CONSTITUENTS OF ENZYMES

There are few areas where the interrelationships of nutrition and biochemistry become more apporent than in studies of the biological role of metals. Organisms deprived of a particular metal have often provided the first clue that the metal is essential for structure or activity of a particular enzyme.     

DRAINAGE AS AN ANTI-MALARIA MEASURE

This author argues the necessity of liberal interpretation of laws. The Health Officer can then be able to use prevention at malarial sources beyond his borders. He urges co-operation of the health officer in drainage plannings and suggests value of permanent improvements, following, of course, study of local conditions.
