L-Tryptophan administration in man: effects on gonadotrophin, growth hormone and cortisol secretion and on sexual motivation.

Long-lasting administration of L-tryptophan in neurologic patients caused a slight reduction of plasma luteinizing hormone levels without modifications of sexual motivation. Plasma follicle stimulating hormone concentrations were not altered by L-tryptophan. Short-lasting loading of L-tryptophan caused a statistically significant increase of plasma growth hormone levels, and a fall of plasma cortisol values in neurologic patients without neuroendocrine disorders. The pattern of plasma cortisol response to L-tryptophan loading was different in patients with neuroendocrine disorders. Plasma gonadotrophins seemed to be slightly reduced after the L-tryptophan loading.

Technologic explosion pumps new life into Holter monitoring.

When ambulatory ECG monitoring was introduced in 1947, few observers could predict the instrument's potential. Today, private physicians, large medical centers, and isolated rural facilities are becoming increasingly more dependent on Holter monitoring's varied diagnostic uses. While the choices in diaries, recorders, and scanners continue to multiply at a fast pace, some experts worry that some options may be gimmicks rather than vital improvements.

Chronic ventilator patients. Alternatives to hospital care.

As the number of patients requiring chronic ventilator therapy increases, the shortage of facilities for this care becomes more and more acute. Nursing homes are unprepared to accept these patients or unwilling because of problems with reimbursement. Home care is only a limited option, but some innovative approaches at nursing homes in Illinois and Michigan may pave the way for a new health care model.

Recession blues. Coping with economic uncertainty.

Health care is faring better than most professions hard-hit by the recession, but the impacts are starting to filter into hospitals. New legislation aimed at reducing the cost of ancillary services threatens to hinder respiratory therapy expansion efforts and may force directors to cut personnel.
