The use of laboratory tests has been increasing in recent years due to various factors affecting laboratories, physicians, legal aspects, or patients themselves.
The efficacy of laboratory tests must be evaluated on the basis of the clinical benefits that they provide in terms of prevention, diagnosis, follow-up, or treatment; with the aim of optim...

Defining quality of healthcare and determining how to improve organisational performance in developed countries is still an unresolved issue among healthcare professionals. However, given that it is an important area of responsibility and accountability it is no longer acceptable to view the issue as discretionary. An increasingly acceptable operat...
The profound political changes that followed the Spanish Constitution of 1978 have had a major influence in the healthcare offered to the Spanish population. The healthcare provision once centred in a single government agency, the Instituto Nacional de la Salud (INSALUD), is now being decentralized to the 17 autonomous regions established by the Co...
The increasing interest for quality in hospital care brought the need to evaluate the effect of quality control and quality assurance strategies that are being or could be implemented in spanish hospitals.
This article describes the results of the pre-assessment phase of a study carried out as a european concerted action in a total of 262 hospitals...
The increasing society demands for improved quality in health care are forcing the health care systems to evaluate their organizational performance. Quality activities were initially limited to inspection and final product control, whereas now they are implemented throughout the whole organisation as Total Quality Management. This approach applies...
Nerve impulses were recorded from sensory fibers supplying the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles of anesthetized cats as the ankle joint was moved from one end of the flexion-extension axis to the other and back again in steps of 6-7 degrees. The rate of movement from one position to the next was 40 deg/s and each position was held for 16-18 s....
Psychophysical experiments have shown that signals from slowly adapting subcutaneous receptors are used to sense limb position under static conditions (i.e., when the joints are stationary). The ascending collaterals of the slowly adapting primary sensory neurons supplying the deep tissues of the hindlimb do not project to the brain via the fascicu...
Plots were made of multiunit activity versus ankle joint position for receptors in each of the 12 muscles crossing the cat ankle joint, except peroneus tertius, by recording from populations of afferent fibers in muscle nerves. The discharge was measured 15 or 30 sec after terminating the movements that altered the position of the joint. These reco...
Intravenous infusion of angiotensin II into the cat (4.13 microng/45 min) produces a decrease of plasmatic renin activity. This reduction was not modified after the bilateral denervation of the kidneys or section of both carotid and aortic nerves. The reserpinization of the cats does not modify the angiotensin effects on the renin plasmatic concent...
Variations in the discharge of baroreceptor units in the left aortic nerve were investigated during stimulation of the stellate ganglion both in the intact cat and in vitro perfusion of the aortic arch. The effects of stimulation of the peripheral cervical sympathetic trunk of the baroreceptor discharge in the carotid nerve during in vitro perfusio...
A simple and sensitive method based on the principle of competitive protein binding is described for the assay of 17 α hydroxy progesterone in plasma. The variables that have to be controlled and the sources of interference are set out. Human corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) obtained from an ovariectomized woman previously treated with estroge...
In 27 cats the presence of sympathetic fibers in the left aortic nerve was studied.Electrical activity with a cardiac rhythm was recorded in the central cut end of the left aortic nerve in neck and thorax. This activity increased with intravenous norepinephrine or intra-aortic saline and decreased with the occlusion of the homolateral carotid arter...
In order to study the existence of afferent activity in the ciliary nerves, related to changes in the intraocular pressure, the electrical activity in the peripheral out end of such nerves was studied in 59 cats. Spontaneous afferent activity was observed in 19 animals; in 9 cats modifications of frequency of impulses could be obtained both with su...
