Disease relevance of Hospital Departments

• Ten patients met at least four American Rheumatism Association criteria for rheumatoid arthritis; they accounted for 6.7% (10/150) of all polyarthritis patients managed in the same hospital department during the same period [1].

High impact information on Hospital Departments

• To measure the applicability and validity of the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test in a medical hospital department situated in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, the test was administered to 300 patients [2].
• Within the UK there has been a relative decline in the number of publications produced by NHS hospital departments and an increase in those produced by universities [3].
• Nine chronic schizophrenic patients selected from three hospital departments were treated with flupentixol (orally and IV) and cis(Z)-flupentixol decanoate in Viscoleo (IM) in a three-phase pharmacokinetic study [4].
• SETTING: Hospital departments for specialist AIDS care in south eastern France and inner suburbs of Paris. PATIENTS: All patients antiretrovial treatment naive, who reported being sexually active at enrollment, and who had at least one follow up visit in the cohort between October 1996 and May 1998 (n=188) [5].
• An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure specific IgG antibody levels to pneumococcal polysaccharide antigens in 300 children attending various hospital departments [6].

Biological context of Hospital Departments

• SETTING: Hospital departments for specialist AIDS care in south eastern France and inner suburbs of Paris. PATIENTS: All enrolled patients with CD4+ cell counts < 400 with detailed clinical history, access to treatment, risk behaviours, and past drug use as reported by both physicians and patients (n = 123) [7].
• We discuss whether it is appropriate for a hospital department (Geriatric Medicine) to use the CIs for the specialty (Gastroenterology) providing the service to measure the quality of service being provided [8].

Associations of Hospital Departments with chemical compounds

• The Department of Emergency Medicine at UCSD is a freestanding academic hospital department with responsibility and accountability for its own finances [9].
• CONCLUSION: Glycopeptide use differs considerably at tertiary care hospitals in southern Germany, but use of < 1.5 DDD/100 patient days in both surgical as well as medical tertiary care hospital departments appears achievable [10].
• The utilization of metamizole was investigated by scanning 3567 case records at 10 hospital departments as well as stored prescriptions at six pharmacies during a 3-month study period [11].
• The method of percutaneous transhepatic dissolution with methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has been used at the Zagreb Clinical Hospital Department of Medicine since 1989 [12].

Gene context of Hospital Departments

• We applied this approach to randomly selected patients at the time of admission to a University Hospital Department. Since fibrinogen is one of the major acute phase proteins, the determination of the C-reactive protein (CRP) was included for comparison [13].
• The intervention was a shared project of two hospital departments; a volunteer oncology support service, Hope & Cope, and the Health Services Library. Forty subjects were surveyed on their computer use and interest, and of these, half used the Internet to access health and medical information [14].
• METHODS: During a two-months-period 51 consecutive patients from an Integrative Medicine hospital department with an established diagnosis of RA (n = 16) or FM (n = 35) were included in the study [15].
• Survey. Part I. Hospital department heads and planning: determining and answering the need for continuing education [16].
• While most of the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) vendors are racing to add more features to the radiology workstation, there is little interest in addressing the specific needs of other hospital departments [17].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Hospital Departments

• Coler Hospital Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, using 11 patients with different levels of cord transection [18].
