Computer literacy for physicians.

Abstract

Medical schools and residency programs can help physicians acquire a basic knowledge of computers by offering education in computer literacy. The program currently being offered in the Family Practice Residency Program at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital has been integrated into the practice management curriculum and has proven very successful in its initial year. It has served to broaden the residents' knowledge of automation systems and has prepared them for the future automation of their offices. It is hoped this knowledge base will help physicians make sound decisions concerning the purchase of a computer system.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
