[Pneumothorax in AIDS].

A total of 237 patients with AIDS have been observed in the infectious Disease Division of the United Hospitals of Bergamo during the past six years. Five patients (4.21%), suffering from TB and PCP, revealed PNX which was characterised by being bilateral and recurrent; it was a concomitant cause of death in 2 patients. The complications which occurred included acute pulmonary heart, pulmonary edema due to reexpansion and irreversible shock.

[Infective complications of external ventricular shunts].

Since the sixties at our Department of Neurosurgery, we use an original method for external ventricular shunts. To verify the effectiveness for reduction of infections risks the Authors have retrospectively analyzed 95 patients: only 4 cases of meningitis have been observed. The Authors consider the utility of the proper method and the importance of the duration of ventriculostomy placement.

Brucella endocarditis.

Between 1987 and 1990, three patients with abscesses produced by Brucella endocarditis were admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases, "Ospedali Riuniti", Bergamo, Italy. In each case, the diagnosis was based on a history of ingestion of milk products, positive Wright serology, positive blood and valvar culture, and echocardiography. Medical therapy alone was not found to be effective in treatment, all patients requiring surgical intervention. One case required urgent surgical treatment and underwent three further operations up to the final implantation of a valved tube. According to our experience, Brucella endocarditis is a rare but serious disease which requires a combination of medical and surgical therapy.

A hospital library building program.

A building program for a 400-bed hospital library was developed by formulating a list of questions that would help to clarify an understanding of the library's needs, by visiting nearby libraries in similar institutions, and by preparing a program planning guide.

Development, effects, and educational outcomes of reporting from a clinical database.

To develop clinically applicable and educationally useful reports from a clinical database, the authors explored the development of such databases at a medical center. The patient-centered database (PCD) integrates disparate data resources in the service of academic clinicians, postgraduate trainees, and students. From the PCD, daily and monthly reports are generated, which include 1) census update reports, serving as an educational format for a daily case-based morning report discussion and routine rounds; 2) reports of daily admissions and patient census stratified by appropriate housestaff providing the clinical care; and 3) quality assurance measures such as monitoring of length of stay of each patient regardless of the initial housestaff service to which the patient is initially admitted. The results of expanding the number of report beneficiaries, outcomes from a five-month test period, and possibilities for further development and implementation are considered.
