Survey of Hawaii physicians' attitudes on health care reform.

Hawaii is more important in health care that its size suggests. It is the first state in the U.S. to have mandated employer-funded health insurance for all workers, and to realize near universal coverage for residents. Because of that, the U.S. can benefit from the experience of those who deliver health services to the people of Hawaii. To determine some of the problems in the current system and what physicians see as solutions, a study of the attitudes and experiences of local physicians was conducted.

Normal ventricles in young schizophrenics.

The CT scans of 11 schizophrenics and 26 controls were evaluated for both linear (Evan's and cella media ratios) and volume (planimetry and grid ratios) measurements of ventricular size. There were no differences between the two groups on any of the measures obtained. These results are discussed in relation to previous reports showing ventricular enlargement in schizophrenics. The relatively younger age and briefer period of hospitalization in this present sample are suggested as variables possibly associated with these findings.
