TL;DR: The needs of an inpatient and outpatient care system include effective communication between systems of care, provisions for patient drift from one community to another, and outpatient services of sufficient breadth and quantity to meet the needs of various service users, particularly the severely disabled.
Abstract: This study evaluates the impact of deinstitutionalization on a multiorganizational inpatient and outpatient treatment system. Data are presented on the system's use by 613 patients over an 8 1/2 year period. Goals of a deinstitutionalization program, increasing outpatient service utilization and decreasing rehospitalization, were not clearly achieved. The needs of an inpatient and outpatient care system include effective communication between systems of care, provisions for patient drift from one community to another, and outpatient services of sufficient breadth and quantity to meet the needs of various service users, particularly the severely disabled.

TL;DR: Direct endoscopic implantation of radioactive materials for carcinoma of the prostate without an open operation was accomplished by the use of modified existing transurethral instrumentation and techniques, suggesting a potential for greater precision of seed placement as illustrated by computer tomography.
Abstract: Direct endoscopic implantation of radioactive materials for carcinoma of the prostate without an open operation was accomplished by the use of modified existing transurethral instrumentation and techniques. The closed approach seems applicable particularly to the geriatric population, which is afflicted more commonly but is frequently not treated because of concurrent diseases or because the patient had transurethral resection of the prostate as a diagnostic procedure. Eleven patients were implanted using the transurethral route. Implantations were accomplished successfully with extremely low morbidity. Along with more conventional dosimetry studies, computer tomography was used to assess the placement of seeds. The direct visualization of the method suggests a potential for greater precision of seed placement as illustrated by computer tomography. In addition, this new instrumentation and method offers a low-risk procedure for carcinoma of the prostate that can be performed on an outpatient basis for selected patients.
