An epizootic of bovine tuberculosis in Barbados, West Indies.

A 57 cow dairy herd, believed to be in excellent condition and producing well, was found to contain 30 tuberculous cattle after cervical skin testing employing bovine PPD tuberculin with the single intradermal comparative test. Testing was initiated after two cows from this herd were found at meat inspection to have tuberculosis. The reliability of bovine PPD tuberculin for testing as well as significant epidemiological, laboratory and meat inspection factors are presented.

Leading health care into the 21st century.

If there is a consistency in the professional lives of those who manage in the health care field, surely it is characterized by inconsistency. Change. For more nearly two decades now, since the full impact of the Medicare/Medicaid legislation hit, the health care industry has undergone profound, continual, and lasting change. Success can be measured largely in terms of how well a professional or an organization accommodates and manages these changes, making sure that they work for the organization and the career and not against them. The 1990s can be expected to be just as full of change and turmoil as have the past two decades. "What's past is prologue," Shakespeare wrote. The health care field is not apt to see the murderous machinations of The Tempest, but clearly exciting and challenging times lie ahead, and perhaps the outcome will be as positive as Shakespeare's. The scenario that follows provides a glimpse at the issues of change that will occupy the time and energy of physician executives for the coming decade.
