Abstract

As a young pathologist, Donald A.B. Lindberg, M.D., tirelessly sought scientific solutions to clinical and research problems. Directing several clinical laboratories at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Dr. Lindberg developed the world's first computerized laboratory information system, speeding analysis and reporting. He directed his team in building computer systems to help clinicians retrieve medical knowledge, enable patients to find information about personal or family health issues, and provide expert automated assistance to physicians in reaching differential diagnoses outside their specialties. Developing superior functionalities with the limited information technologies of the time, Dr. Lindberg's pioneering work in Columbia foreshadowed his subsequent inspired leadership as Director of the United States National Library of Medicine.

Abstract

Objective: To describe the demographics, patterns of assessment and treatment of people visiting a regional emergency department with potential diagnoses of malaria or dengue fever. Design: To identify potential dengue fever cases, we used an indicator of recent overseas travel and fever that is a request for malaria testing. A chart audit of 301 medical records of people between 2008 and 2010 was conducted to describe patient characteristics, diagnostic tests performed and treatment. Setting: A regional hospital located in the wet tropics. Results: Malaria testing was most often performed on Australian citizens (64.1%), medical evacuees (20.3%) and tourists (18.6%). Overall, 49.8% of patients tested for malaria did not also have a dengue test, despite being indicated in 54% of this group. People tested for malaria usually lived in a residential house or unit (69.7%). Only 9% were staying in hotels and hostels . Oceania was the most commonly visited region in the two weeks prior to presentation. Malaria was diagnosed in 17.3% and dengue fever in 12% of patients tested. Patients with dengue fever were more likely than patients with malaria to self-refer to hospital, be staying in commercial accommodation and to have recently travelled to Southeast Asia. Conclusion: Both dengue fever and malaria occur predominantly in residents who reside in non-commercial accommodation. Efforts to identify imported dengue fever cases should focus on both tourists and local residents returning from overseas countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: The incidence of type 1 diabetes in childhood is increasing by 3 % per year, placing growing demands on healthcare professionals and medical expenditures. Aim of this study wars to assess the organization of care to children with diabetes in Italy. Methods: During 2012 a structured questionnaire was sent to all of the members of Italian Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (ISPED). Questions examined organizational structure of Centers, personnel dedicated to the care of children with diabetes, number of subjects followed, local legal legislation supporting centres. Results: A total of 68 centers taking care to 15,563 children and adolescents with diabetes under 18 years of age were identified with a prevalence of 1.4 per 1,000 people. A wide variation in the organizational background was also reported. Fourty-four centers were organized as outpatient departments, 17 as simple units, 5 as complex units and 2 as simple departmental structures. Most centers had a multidisciplinary team. Ten out of twenty Italian regions had introduced supportive regional legislation, but it was fully applied only in six of them. Conclusion: Great differences between regions were found in organizational structures, staffing levels and supportive legislation. The national legislation on diabetes was broadly implemented throughout the country regions. Further efforts are needed to improve standards and consistency of pediatric diabetes care in Italy.

Abstract

The Department of Community Medical Service at University of the Ryukyus Hospital was originally established as the department to provide and promote comprehensive medicine on Okinawa. The principles for its activities have been gradually converted from hospital administration to community medicine. The development of hospital administration policy has produced central laboratory, supply and surgical operating departments as well as a progressive patient care system including C.C.U. and I.C.U.; it has also controlled the department of medical records. Community medical service should have the following 5 aspects : 1. Pre-hospital care of population by control of pre-clinical illness and risk factors of adult diseases. 2. Re-organization of hospital system by introducing the concept of progressive patient care and a health screening clinic. 3. Post-hospital care to support day care and home care. 4. The control of the health of the aged population on Okinawa ( the area of greatest longevity in Japan ) and. 5. A regional medical plan taking into account the area serviced by the hospital and the attitudes to health services by the patients in that area. Planning should also recognize regional medical demands and defects ( especially on many isolated islands ) which are characteristics of Okinawa and should control, re-distribute and effectively use the limited medical resources and materials in the community. For the purpose of applying these principles, communication and computer systems must be connected. Various kinds of medical data need to be transmitted through various communication routes from the terminals and then memorized, standardized, filed and ordered for comparison with other data whenever necessary. It is hoped that the comprehensive health control system is successfully and universally established in each community by the connection of medical science and technology., 論文
