Clinical data evaluation and the PL health control information system.

In a health control service environment, that is, a periodic, membership AMHTS type of comprehensive health check-up system, where clinical data evaluation especially an evaluation in terms of subject-specific normal ranges, is most important, the medical information system is required to handle: (1) Various network types files; (2) real-time immediacy; (3) an asserted reliability to meet personal health control purposes. As in other computer applications already successfully used, an indexed direct assess method (IDAM) developed is our solution. It allows us to provide multiple indices for the file network, instead of inverted files, a unique index-to-record relationship, preventing any unrecoverable chaining destruction and, thereby, provides any network type access a stable access time. Furthermore, for research purposes, a data integrity for on-line access and batch access was attained as well as a retrieval language system with a multiple key retrieval function.

An unusual case of portasystemic encephalopathy caused by splenic vein occlusion following gastrectomy.

A patient with recurrent episodes of consciousness disturbance following partial gastrectomy is presented. Angiographic examination revealed a great portasystemic shunt, which probably developed following the postoperative splenic vein thrombosis. This is suspected a rare cause of the condition. In chronic liver disease, recurrent encephalopathy which is caused by portasystemic shunt is well known as one of the most frequent complications. It is very uncommon in adults, however, when the liver is not concerned in the shunt formation. In the present paper the authors report an unusual case of recurrent consciousness confusion which is due to the great portasystemic shunt probably caused by postgastrectomy splenic vein thrombosis.
