Evaluation of a pilot project to use computers in a rural general practice term.
In 1998, the Department of General Practice (Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Western Australia) ran a pilot project to use computers in a sixth year rural general practice term. Students were provided with a laptop computer to take into rural and remote areas throughout Western Australia during their 4-week clinical attachment. An email mailing list was set up for course participants to share experiences and complete set learning activities specifically related to rural general practice. An evaluation of this pilot project found that students felt less isolated on rural attachments, course outcomes were improved and rural preceptors were more involved in the programme. The development of a teaching and learning programme that involves the use of computers in rural general practice for undergraduate students has the potential to improve the quality of their medical education.

Liver abscess: a harbinger of Crohn's disease.
A 24-yr-old man with no previous history of Crohn's disease presented with a 5-wk history of fever and malaise. Computed tomographic scan of the abdomen revealed a liver abscess. Upon intraoperative examination, the terminal ileum was noted to have changes characteristic of Crohn's disease. This case report represents the first documented occurrence of liver abscess as the initial manifestation of Crohn's disease.

Blood flow in obstetrics using Doppler ultrasound.
We describe the history of obstetric blood flow research in the human fetal circulation (1978-1982) using both continuous wave (CW) Doppler and pulsed (PW) Doppler with linear array scanning. After the initial work (mainly in Ireland, Australia, Sweden, The Netherlands and the UK) it was recognized that CW Doppler velocity waveforms were of diagnostic significance and yielded as much useful clinical information as more complex PW duplex systems. PW duplex continues to be a useful research tool where accurate Doppler sampling or mean velocity measurement is required. The measurement of fetal Doppler velocity waveforms is clinically useful in the evaluation of the 'small-for-dates' fetus and abnormalities of cardiac anatomy or rhythm. Simple CW pencil probe study of the maternal utero-placental vasculature distinguishes normal from abnormal placentation and may be useful as a screening test to predict hypertensive disease of pregnancy.
