✦ Synopsis

Background and Objective:

With the developing technologies and the extensive use of different wavelength lasers for treatment of some gynecologic conditions, many residencies in the United States face pressure to give credentialing to residents wishing to utilize the laserb). The objective of this study was to assess the need for credentialing.

Study DesignllMaterials and Methods:

A survey was sent to all U.S. program directors of obstetrics and gynecology. ResuZts: Of 281 surveys mailed, 138 responded (49.1%); 136 utilized some wavelength laser in the treatment of some gynecologic conditions. The most commonly used laser was the carbon dioxide (CO,), and the least used was the argon laser. Eighty-four programs (61.8%) had a written policy; 54 (38.2%) did not. Postgraduate courses were necessary in 81 programs (59.6%), leading to some form of credentialing. Conclusions: The vast majority of programs (98.6%) utilized some wavelength laser as a therapeutic modality in gynecology, and 73.5% of the residency programs would like standardized guidelines for residents.

The Production of oil of American Wormse

The Production of oil of American Wormseed, U. S. P., in Illinois**This investigation was undertaken because the supply of wormseed oil has been for several years vcry inadequate to the demand, and this condition has prevented extensive use of the oil in the treatment of domestic animals—a field in which it is much needed. Owing to the low individual value of such animals as hogs, for example, it is not economical to treat them with a drug of such high price as wormseed oil. This paper is a report of the first year’s work in producing this oil at the Experiment Station of the Moorman Mfg. Co., Quincy, Ill. It is planned to continue the work on a much larger scale, covering every phase of the problem. Anyone wishing to produce the oil can obtain the full cooperation of this company on request.
