[Computer systems for general practitioners. Status and development].

Patient-administrative systems are becoming increasingly accepted in general practice. The market is now more mature than before. Many physicians are now purchasing computer systems for general practice the second time. Due to national characteristics of the health services the market for these systems is not truly international. In Norway this market is dominated by two makes: Infodoc and Profdoc. In future more physicians will use systems for general practice, and more functions will be added, although the usefulness of these may be a matter for discussion. Furthermore, the importance of telecommunications is expected to increase, and similarly, integration with other services. This development would be furthered by central government action for the purpose of harmonizing and standardizing data, systems and possibly user-interface.

Selecting a computer system for a medical practice.

Although the risk will always exist that a computer system will be selected that does not adequately meet the needs of a practice, this risk may be minimized when the selection process is done properly. A seven-step approach for selecting an office management system is described, with discussion of major factors to consider and pitfalls to avoid.

Knowledge-based computer system to aid in the histopathological diagnosis of breast disease.

A knowledge-based computer system, designed to assist pathologists in the histological diagnosis of breast disease, is described. This system represents knowledge in the form of "disease profiles" and uses a novel inference model based on the mathematical technique of hypergraphs. Its design overcomes many of the limitations of existing expert system technologies when applied to breast disease. In particular, the system can quickly focus on a differential problem and thus reduce the amount of data necessary to reach a conclusion. The system was tested on two sets of samples, consisting of 14 retrospective cases and five hypothetical cases of breast disease. Its recommendations were judged "correct" by the evaluating pathologist in 15 cases. This study shows the feasibility of providing "decision support" in histopathology.

An integrated mini-computer system for the automatic control of pharmacological experiments and calculation of results.

A mini-computer system for the automation of pharmacological experiments and for the calculation, printing and storing of results is described. A link between the 1) control unit which powers the pumps, valves, etc., and 2) the computer which processes the digital data allows the synchronization of data collection with the time course of the experiment. Thus results may be immediately expressed in absolute (i.e. stimulus-induced change in tension, etc.) or relative (i.e. % change in response due to drug administration) terms.

Choosing a computer system.

If you can set aside the intense marketing and the appealing gadgetry that surround computer systems, you will still be left with a complex and challenging set of choices. Investigate the hardware and software carefully, certainly, but pay especially close attention to the quality of the people involved, from the consultants to the vendors. Be as skeptical and cautious as any good customer, and make your decisions as though the future of your practice depended on it.

A computer system applying the face method to represent multiphasic tests.

The results of medical examinations have recently become multiphasic with few exceptions, and various graphical methods exist to represent the results concisely. One of these graphical methods is reported here, utilizing a computer system for applying the so-called 'face method'. This displays the condition of an individual's health by erythrocyte count, leucocyte count, haemoglobin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, all the information being accessible via a database system. Only keywords are necessary to display faces representing the health condition. Graphical methods are useful for providing data features because they appeal to the eye. The face method is more practical than other graphical methods in that its features give easily recognizable indications. The face method can be utilized in various ways, for example in differential diagnosis of anaemia, and to comprehend time-based changes in an individual's health condition based on multiphasic tests.

[Questions of accuracy when using "not therapy-specific" computer systems for irradiation planning (author's transl)].

The conditions were examined under which little and medium computer systems not having been primarily developed for radiotherapy can be used in order to make sufficiently precise calculations of dose distributions. The adapted accuracy of the principal factors influencing the dose distribution renders possible a time-saving calculation of several dose distributions and a final calculation. By comparison with a reference calculation made as accurately as possible, the isodose curve shows only little deviations. The following factors were examined in order to find out an eventual influence exerted upon an isodose displacement: number of scan points in the cross-section, correction of the oblique ray incidence, inhomogeneities, dissociations of the rotation field. To our opinion, the isodose displacements found for a dose calculation with adapted accuracy are acceptable when related to influencing factors depending on the individual patients.

Application of gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-computer system to evaluation of 14C-labelled compounds.

Usefulness of gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-computer system (GC-MS-CPU) not only for measurement of specific activities of 14C-labelled compounds in a mixture but also for evaluation of 14C-labelled compounds in terms of examining their purities and elucidating chemical structures of the impurities was proved. A sample of methyl 2-(p-chlorophenyl-14Cn)-3-methylbutylate (III) synthesized from p-chlorophenyl-14Cn-acetonitrile (VI) was analyzed by GC-MS-CPU, and it was found that the labelled compound was contaminated with a small amount of the corresponding m-isomer (IV) having a very high specific activity. Further examination suggested that the contaminating m-isomer (IV) originated from m-chlorophenyl-14Cn-acetonitrile (IX) which had already contaminated in the starting material (VI), and also that cyanomethylation of p-dichlorobenzene-14Cn (VIII) by benzene-type reaction resulted in producing a mixture of p- and m-chlorophenyl-14Cn-acetonitriles (VI, IX).
