Coronary risk and estrogen use in postmenopausal women.
Of some 15,500 women resident in a retirement community during an 11 year interval, 220 suffered a cardiologically ascertained first myocardial infarction. A case-control study demonstrated no association between estrogen use and myocardial infarction. The observed lack of association may be explained by an already high coronary risk in this age group, by the low daily estrogen dose, and by the short duration of estrogen use. The well-known association between hypertension and myocardial infarction was confirmed.

Experience with a multidisciplinary critical care center in a community hospital.
A multidisciplinary intensive care unit has been developed in a community hospital by planning techniques which are still not common in the hospital development environment. The resulting Acute Care Center has special attributes, especially in ongoing professional educational and consultation support, in continuous physician staffing aroung the clock, in equipment and in operational policies. The net result appears to be the provision of a higher standard of patient care, a lower mortality rate for the critically ill patient, and various cost benefits. The concepts and policies involved are being met with increasing acceptance in the local medical community.
