Multiple Chronic Conditions
Persons with multiple chronic conditions are a large and growing segment of the US population. However, little is known about how chronic conditions cluster, and the ramifications of having specific combinations of chronic conditions. Clinical guidelines and disease management programs focus on single conditions, and clinical research often excludes persons with multiple chronic conditions. Understanding how conditions in combination impact the b…
Louis Ducos du Hauron (1837-1920)
Louis Ducos du Hauron invented and developed the foundations of our present colour photographic systems. Since he forecast almost every current process of colour photography he may be justifiably called the father of colour photography. He was among the first to recognize the possibility of colour reproduction with three-colour separations. He pioneered and forecast the use of a bipack or tripack containing all the supports in one emulsion. Unfor…
Notes & Queries
John Bishop Hall
Excitement, elation, and scepticism travelled throughout the photographic industry when first reports of a new colour and stereoscopic relief process were published on 1 August 1856.1 The process was patented by John Bishop Hall in New York, on 27 May 1856 and 20 January 1857. Hall's location at 585 Broadway, New York City was known as the ‘Temple of Art’, occupied by the well known photographer Charles Deforest Fredricks. The photographic journa…
Nineteenth-century American Photographic Journals
Preceding the first American photographic periodicals, the initial reports of experiments in early photography appeared in the journals of the scientific societies and academies. The earliest American society was the American Philosophical Society, established in 1743 with Benjamin Franklin as secretary. In England the equivalent was the Royal Society, established in 1665, whose published reports appeared in the Philosophical Transactions of the …
Specialization Among Obstetrician/Gynecologists
This study uses the Herfindahl index to investigate the specialization patterns of physicians. "Specialization" is defined as the degree to which an individual doctor concentrates his practice into a narrow range of disease categories. This application is the specialization pattern of office-based obstetrician/gynecologists in the United States. Physician's age and solo practice both exhibit a systematic negative effect on specialization. Both th…
The growing proportion of female physicians
This study analyzes how the growing proportion of women in the United States physician population will affect the amount and type of physician services available to the US population. Female physicians work fewer hours per week, are slightly less likely to be in patient care, and tend to enter different specialties than male physicians. Female physicians also have higher retirement rates than male physicians, but due to their lower mortality rate…
Physician Contact With and Attitudes Toward HIV-Seropositive Patients
The growing population of HIV-seropositives raises serious concerns about who will provide medical care to this group. This article presents the first national estimates of physician involvement in, and attitudes toward, the treatment of HIV-seropositive patients. Nearly 50% of the nonfederal patient care physicians in our nationally representative sample have treated at least one HIV patient, with an average of 6.7 such patients being treated pe…

Changes in the hours worked by physicians, 1970-80
The hours worked by physicians are affected by changes in a number of factors, including attitudes towards labor-leisure tradeoffs, the characteristics of the physician workforce, and the level of demand for medical services. This paper analyzes changes in the hours worked per week by office-based physicians over the decade 1970-80. Overall, there has been a statistically significant decline in hours of approximately 3 per cent, or 1.5 hours per …
Waiting to See the Doctor The Impact of Organizational Structure on Medical Practice
In this article it is assessed whether or not the scheduling and office visit queues a patient faces depend upon the organizational structure of the physician's practice (i.e., does the physician practice in the fee-for-service system or in a health maintenance organization [HMO], and if in an HMO, in what type of an HMO). Data pooled from two national studies (N = 2448) reveal two major findings. First, although scheduling queues may be predicte…
Spending Time With Patients
This article assesses whether the amount of time that physicians spend overall, in the office, and in the hospital per patient visit depends upon the organizational structure of the physician's practice (i.e., does the physician practice in the fee-for-service system or in an HMO, and if in an HMO, in what type of an HMO). Data pooled from two national studies (N = 2.521) reveal several interesting patterns, including: 1) on all measures, solo ph…
