[Computer-assisted diagnostic system: methods used (author's transl)].

Having chosen a computer-assisted diagnostic system (ADM) based on a logic method of the documentation type, a real example of a questionnaire is presented. The procedures actually utilized as well as those now being studied are presented and discussed in the light of the difficulties encountered. After giving various detailed examples, the fundamental procedures in developing the computer-assisted diagnostic system are described. These have been developed keeping in mind that the system must preserve utility, feasibility, transparency, simplicity, liberty of choice and scope but must also handle all difficulties and causes of error that are inherent in the process of arriving at a medical diagnosis.

[Erythrocytes and alcohol: hemorheologic manifestations of alcoholism].

Hemorheological parameters were studied in 218 subjects: 129 alcoholic liver diseases, 19 alcoholic patients without liver damage, 20 liver diseases without alcoholism and 50 controls. Whole blood filtration (WBF) is significantly decreased in the group of alcoholic patients; whole blood and plasma viscosity are increased in the groups of alcoholic patients as well as in the group of non alcoholic liver diseases. The liver damage seems not to be a determining factor to the genesis of filterability impairment. Alcohol and/or one of its metabolites induce erythrocytes morphological alterations (scanning electro-microscopy) correlated with some alterations of the RBC membrane lipids content (increased cholesterol/phospholipids ratio). It is suggested that these hemorheological patterns must be discussed in cases of alcoholic liver diseases as well as in following up alcohol withdrawal.
