Microcomputer-assisted residency data management.

During the 1986-87 academic year, residency call and rotation data were stored, manipulated and disseminated with the aid of the microcomputer. The intent was to correct past discrepancies and ensure impartiality while improving efficiency and accountability. Objectively, a comparison of call data before and since this system has been in operation shows that calls have become more fairly distributed. Subjectively, the system has been well-received by residents, staff, and clinicians, and has been permanently incorporated into the residency.

The magnetic resonance hypointense spine of AIDS.

The T1-weighted magnetic resonance examinations in 11 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients showed substantial reduction in signal intensity of vertebral bodies. Review of bone marrow aspirates and biopsies that were available in eight patients suggested that the abnormality resulted from markedly increased amounts of storage iron within the bone marrow, probably secondary to the anemia of chronic disease.
