Medical school, psychosocial attitudes, and gender.

A scale measuring empathy and a scale measuring attitudes toward social issues and human relations in health care were administered to medical students when they were applicants to medical school and again midway through their third year. Students in their third year exhibited less positive and/or more negative attitudes compared to their scores as applicants. The changes were largest in areas relating to social issues, such as government involvement in health care, and least in areas relating to human relations, such as the role of social factors as determinants of a patient's health or illness. There were few differences between women and men on these scales. These data suggest that attitudes toward the interpersonal aspect of patient care may be less severely affected by the medical school experience than previously expected, and that the medical school experience does not affect women's attitudes differently than it does men's.

[Hematotoxicity of thiamphenicol. Report of two cases of acute erythroblastopenia (author's transl)].

Thiamphenicol is known to produce two hematological side effects: a decrease in blood cell count concerning mainly red blood cells; in this case regression is observed after withdrawal of the drug; the frequency of this side effect appears to be higher than that observed after chloramphenicol administration. Severe and sometimes fatal pancytopenia is rare and related to primary bone marrow failure; its incidence seems to be increased by high dosages, long-term or repeated administration, interaction with other hematotoxic drug administration, renal failure, elderly or immune suppression.
