The quality of surgical information on the Internet.

The quality of surgical information on the Internet is variable. Content variation limits the use of the Internet as a reliable and safe information source both for both health professionals and patients. Medical information is a particularly sensitive area. Incorrect or misleading information may lead to potentially dangerous health behaviour, patients reading information intended for health professionals may misunderstand information or may get wrong expectations regarding treatment options.

Variable budgeting for staffing. Analysis and evaluation.

A successful resource-management system must be based on variable budgeting principles to account for fluctuation in patient census, methodically prepared through historical analysis of operations, carefully executed and monitored by accountable multidisciplinary managers. Significant attention must be paid to communication, positioning and stability of the patient care organization.

Experience with germ cell tumors of testicle at University of Iowa.

Between 1964 and 1979, 219 patients with germ cell testicular tumors were treated at the University of Iowa. In 79 nonseminomatous germ cell tumors various chemotherapeutic regimens were used. The response, salvage, and survival rates are compared. There is a definite trend toward better response rates and survival using the combination cisplatinum, vinblastine (Velban), and bleomycin. With this combination, 75 per cent of Stage II and III patients survived two years. The over-all response rate was 85 per cent, and 87 per cent of those with a complete response survived two years. Eighty per cent of deaths occurred within two years and 90 per cent within three years.
