Management services organizations: providing economies of scale.

Effective information management and other shared costs can reduce agencies' operating expenses as well as make new products available while providing opportunities to gain a competitive advantage. By taking a close look at ways of controlling documentation, such as the use of a management services organization for information system/computer-based management, agencies can prepare for the challenges of the next century.

Nocardial endophthalmitis: report of two cases studied histopathologically.

We report two cases of nocardial endophthalmitis. Case 1 is a 66-year-old man whose left eye was enucleated about one month after onset of decreased vision. Ophthalmoscopic examination disclosed multiple choroidal masses. Six weeks before the onset of ocular manifestations he had undergone a prolonged carotid endarterectomy with intraoperative complications. The source of the ocular infection was probably exogenous. Case 2 is a 49-year-old woman who had systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) with severe pulmonary insufficiency. She had received moderate doses of corticosteroids. Seventeen months after initiation of therapy she developed ocular manifestations leading to enucleation of the eye one month later. Histopathologically, the enucleated eyes in both cases showed numerous branching, Gram-positive, filamentous organisms involving mainly the plane of Bruch's membrane and the subretinal space. The nosological and microbiological aspects of nocardiosis are reviewed.
