Uveitis. A series of 368 patients.

During the first 10 years (1963-74) of a new Medical Ophthalmology Unit, 368 of 3,930 admissions had endogenous uveitis, anterior in 215 (58 per cent.), posterior in 65 (18 per cent.), and generalized in 88 (24 per cent.). Acute uveitis in 153 patients tended to have a short course counted in months, whereas in 215 with chronic uveitis the condition was measured over years, punctuated by relapses. Sex distribution was equal. At the time of initial presentation, 60 per cent. of patients were aged 20 to 40 years, 8 per cent. were under 20, and 10 per cent. were over 60 years of age.

The pediatric internship as a teaching technique: a comparison of learning experiences in five hospitals.

Five interns joined in a collaborative study to assess their learning experiences during the internship year. A 3 times 5-inch data form was completed for each patient for whom the intern was responsible. Information was gathered on demongraphic characteristics of the patient, the teaching that involved this patient, and what skills were acquired. Nearly 30% of the patients were under 1 year of age; 55% were boys. More than one half of the contacts were in an outpatient or emergency department. Over 80% of the patients had not been seen before; continuity patients made up less than 9% of the contacts. Well-child care was the largest care category (19%), followed by respiratory problems (15%) and injuries (9%). About 40% of the contacts involved a teaching input, mainly from residents, attending physicians, and faculty. Care skills most frequently acquired were physical examination (49%), reading (15%), and interviewing (11%). Cross-tabulations showed that most learning was reported for inpatients, for patients with rare diseases, and when some teaching was involved.
