Verbal communication between students in multidisciplinary health teams.

The study reported here was connected with the influence of two variables--the context in which communication occurs, and the concept availability of various health professionals--upon the verbal interaction of various health professionals. Specifically, the verbal output of health professionals in groups consisting entirely of their own professional peers (i.e. all nurses, or all medical students) was compared with that of professionals in multidisciplinary health teams. The study, in attempting to delineate possible barriers to effective verbal interaction, has important implications for the functioning of multidisciplinary health teams.

Cruveilhier-Baumgarten disease.

An unusual case of portal hypertension in an asymptomatic 33-year-old man is presented. The findings of splenomgealy, esophageal and gastric varices, a patent umbilical vein with associated venous hum, and three normal liver biopsies qualify him for the diagnosis of Cruveilhier-Baumgarten disease. Possible etiologic explanations of his portal hypertension are discussed.
