Integrating personal computers into family practice: a comparison of practicing physicians and residents.

A survey was used to assess levels of experience with personal computers and interest in learning personal computer applications among Alabama family practice physicians and residents in 1994. The study compared responses of 272 physicians and 77 residents as well as responses of physicians and residents in a sample of respondents thirty-eight years old or younger, including 77 physicians and 73 residents. Almost 25% of physicians reported never having used a computer, compared to 7.9% of residents. Respondents had learned computer skills through various combinations of methods, with over half of each group claiming to be self-taught through reading and hands-on experience. More than 86% of both groups expressed interest in learning more; interest increased in the population thirty-eight years or younger. Respondents, especially physicians, reported using professional applications less often than personal applications. Overall, there was a high level of interest in learning various practice-related applications; however, a significantly larger proportion of residents reported interest in each type of application than did physicians.

Medical information for Alabama rural physicians.

Physicians practicing outside of Alabama's urban medical centers often have difficulty obtaining medical information for patient care. This article describes how Alabama's rural physicians may gain access to the biomedical literature needed for patient care using personal collections, communications technology, and libraries. A table in the paper lists health sciences libraries in the state which may provide consultative and information services.

An AIDS information center.

Because busy members of the health care team are confronted with a plethora of articles and information on AIDS, the Health Sciences Library at the University of Alabama has developed a current awareness information center on AIDS. The materials in the center can be easily accessed by patrons. Books and audiovisuals are included in the center; however, the primary emphasis is on accessing articles in journals to which the library subscribes and the journals which have granted blanket photocopy permission. The planning and organization of the center are described.

Subcellular localization of gonadotropins and testosterone in the developing fetal rat testis.

Gonadotropins and testosterone were immunocytochemically localized in the fetal rat testes 16-18 days of gestation with the unlabeled antibody-peroxidase anti-peroxidase complex technique. Maximum staining for gonadotropins with antiserum to the beta chain of human chorionic gonadotropin (anti-hCGbeta) occurred at 16 days gestation in the seminferous tubule and 17 days gestation in interstitial (Leydig) cells. Anti hCGbeta sites were on the plasma membranes at the luminal aspects of Sertoli cells at 16 days gestation. In addition, intracellular hCGbeta sites were evident including the nucleus, nucleolus, ribosomes, some vesicles, lysosomes and centrioles. The stain for hCGbeta disappeared rapidly and by 17 days was limited to patches in the cytoplasm and nuclei. In the fetal testes, staining for anti-testosterone binding sites was most intense at 18 days of gestation either in lipid droplets or on nuclei of Leydig and Sertoli cells. Very little testosterone stain was observed before 18 days of gestation. These findings agree with physiologic data that suggest that gonadotropins bind to receptors and stimulate testicular development and the capacity for testosterone production.
