A quinine-induced drug reaction of photosensitive distribution with histological features mimicking mycosis fungoides.
Drug reactions simulating mycosis fungoides have been described most frequently for phenytoin, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and carbamazepine. The first reported case of a quinine-induced drug reaction that histologically mimicked mycosis fungoides is described.

Onchocerciasis in Minnesota cattle.
Umbilical hides from 536 dairy cattle in Minnesota were tested for the microfilarial stage of Onchocerca species to determine the distribution of onchocerciasis in the state. The infection was widespread as microfilariae were obtained from 214 (40%) of the animals, representing nearly all areas of the state. Adult Onchocerca parasites were collected primarily from nodules associated with tibial bones but also were found to a lesser extent within the gastrosplenic ligament. Specific identity of these organisms is unclear as they exhibit certain morphological features previously described as being characteristic of either Onchocerca gutturosa, Onchocerca lienalis, or Onchocerca stilesi.
Immunoradiometric assay for intact human parathyroid hormone: characteristics, clinical application and comparison with a radio-immunoassay.
Circulating immunoreactive intact human parathyroid hormone (PTH) was measured by a direct immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) and the results compared with a radio-immunoassay (RIA) which required extraction and concentration prior to assay. The sensitivity of the IRMA was better than that of the RIA (0.6 vs 2.0 pmol/L). In control subjects the hPTH concentrations ranged between 0.6 and 6.7 pmol/L and in patients with hypercalcaemia due to malignant diseases, sarcoidosis and hypoparathyroidism none could be detected. In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism the concentrations ranged from 5.2 to 27.0 pmol/L. In patients with renal osteodystrophy serum human PTH concentrations ranged from 7.6 to 285 and in those with chronic renal failure but without evidence of renal osteodystrophy from 0.5 to 5.2 pmol/L. The major advantages of the IRMA are its much simpler performance and its higher sensitivity which makes studies of the physiology of PTH secretion in humans possible.
The Hospital Capitation Payment Project: new incentives and tools for cost containment.
Blue Cross of North Dakota, Blue Cross of Massachusetts, and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, along with 10 hospitals, developed and implemented the Hospital Capitation Payment Project as a novel approach for containing escalating hospital costs. The hospital is paid a prospective, fixed amount for each person covered; in exchange, it assumes responsibility to provide or pay for all covered services needed by that individual. This responsibility extends to payment for covered care provided by other hospitals. The new tools and incentives created by the program, notably an innovative management information system, are designed to help hospitals better manage the health care needs and related costs of a defined population.
