Changing the course of things: costs enter medical education.
The costs of health care, and the physician's role in generating them, are subjects that more and more often are being taught in medical schools and graduate medical training programs. Virtually all of these programs are focused on physicians' use of hospital services, particularly diagnostic procedures, but there is a wider goal: development of a different physician attitude toward cost, quality of care, alternative treatments, and how they all interrelate.

Choroidal blood flow. IV. effect of vasodilating agents.
The effect of vasodilators on choroidal blood flow (CBF) was studied by the krypton clathrate Kr 85 desaturation technique in anesthetized cats. Niacin, papaverine hydrochloride, phentolamine mesylate, and tolazoline hydrochloride were injected via the lateral long posterior ciliary artery (LLPCA) and the femoral artery. The systemic administration of these drugs via the femoral artery, in the doses used, had no significant effect on mean arterial pressure, choroidal vascular resistance (CVR), or CBF. Local administration of the same agents via the LLPCA caused a decrease in CVR with a corresponding increase in CBF.
