Internet tools in the medical classroom

Summary: The Internet contains a vast amount of medically relevant information. In order to access this information, however, many networks require one to master applications written in UNIX, an operating system considered by many not to be user friendly. Although these tools may be available on the campus, it is difficult to teach their use unless there is some immediate benefit to the already busy user. From that standpoint, it is important for instructors to realize that common UNIX applications can be utilized as classroom tools to significantly enhance the learning experience by facilitating teacher/student communication. Also, whilst the student enjoys greater communication with the instructor (and with other students) he/she is also becoming adept at using information management tools.     

The uses of a patient-based dietetic data-collection systern

The F.I.P. (Financial Information Project) dietetic package allows the collection of basic patient data, which then can be processed to give valuable clinical and management information for use by all dietitians in a dietetic department. The advent of the Korner Reports (DHSS, 1984a) and their implementation highlighted the need to computerize certain aspects of data collection in dietetic departments. Within the West Midlands Regional Health Authority a group of dietitians worked with the Regional Management Services Department to adapt a community nursing system, F.I.P., for use by dietitians. The system was piloted for all paramedical services in 1987 with one health district (North Warwickshire) piloting the dietetic package. It is now used by a range of dietetic and paramedical departments. This paper outlines the system and its uses.     

舌咽、迷走、副神经和舌下神经的解剖及影像学表现

CT和MRI是研究舌咽、迷走、副神经和舌下神经解剖和神经病变的重要方式，软组织肿块在MRI图像上有特征表现，CT则对骨质的改变十分敏感．就舌咽、迷走、副神经和舌下神经的正常解剖、影像学检查技术和部分神经病变作一综述．     

特发性甲状旁腺机能减退症颅脑CT及MRI表现

目的探讨颅脑CT及MRI检查对特发性甲状旁腺机能减退症(IHP)的诊断价值。方法回顾性分析16例经临床确诊的IHP患者头颅CT(16/16)和MRI(3/16)表现,观察病变的范围和密度/信号等特点。结果IHP颅内主要表现为多发钙化性病变,在CT上表现为高密度,CT值114～373HU,在MRT1WI呈稍高信号或高信号,T2WI呈等信号。双侧尾状核、苍白球、壳核及丘脑的对称性、条形或团块状钙化16例;双侧额、颞、顶、枕叶皮层下钙化10例;小脑齿状核钙化6例(双侧4例,单侧2例);侧脑室旁钙化2例。结论CT和MR对IHP的诊断非常重要,其中CT对病变的显示优于MR,与临床结果结合,对IHP具有定性诊断意义。     

鼻咽癌增强CT扫描的影像表现及价值(附102例报告)

目的　探讨鼻咽癌 (NPC)增强CT表现和价值。方法　对 10 2例NPC放化疗前病人行平扫加增强扫描 ,观察癌灶密度变化、鼻咽表面线样强化层和癌灶周界情况。结果　平扫癌灶密度与同层面鼻咽肌相近的有 89例 (87% ) ,其余与翼外肌相近(13 % )。平扫难以明确癌灶的大小和范围 ,所能显示的仅是有无占位。增强扫描癌灶密度差异明显的占 44% ,单靠密度差异能使其周界全部或大部清楚的仅占 40 %。根据癌灶强化和线样强化层的表现 ,综合判断癌灶周界全部或大部清楚的达到 76%。结论　增强扫描对准确判断NPC癌灶的大小、范围以及对发现小的癌灶和鉴别诊断有重要作用。在主要针对鼻咽部本身的检查 ,增强也应列为常规扫描     

代谢综合征患者肾动脉狭窄的SCTA与DSA对比研究

目的探讨代谢综合征(MS)患者中肾动脉狭窄的发生率及无创性筛检的必要性与可靠性。方法45例MS患者预行肾动脉螺旋CT血管造影(SCTA),对所检出的14例肾动脉狭窄者行肾动脉数字减影血管造影(DSA)对照,并对SCTA及DSA结果进行对比分析。结果45例MS患者中SCTA显示肾动脉正常31例,其余14例患者存在单侧或双侧肾动脉狭窄,DSA对照显示肾动脉正常6条,肾动脉狭窄22条,与SCTA显示的情况基本符合。结论MS患者中肾动脉狭窄的发生率约31.1%,对可疑患者应常规予以肾动脉SCTA检查。     

新生儿颅内出血的CT诊断（附80例报告）

目的：探讨新生儿颅内出血的CT表现。方法；对1998年5月至2003年5月因难产、窒息、早产的新生儿进行头颅CT检查。结果；蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)62例；脑实质出血(ICH)5例；硬膜下出血(SDH)15例；脑室内出血5例；混合型出血12例。结论：新生儿颅内出血的CT表现具有一定的特征性；CT对颅内出血的诊断具有重要价值。     

应用最大似然法鉴别诊断周围型肺癌、肺错构瘤和结核球的初步研究

目的:探讨应用最大似然法鉴别周围性肺癌、肺错构瘤及结核球3种孤立性肺结节(SPN)的诊断价值。方法:对150例经临床和手术病理证实的SPN(周围性肺癌、肺错构瘤、结核球各50例)的HRCT影像学征象进行分类统计分析,运用最大似然判别法,将其各种征象转化为记分值,以数值的大小来判定肺结节所属的类型。结果:最大似然法对周围型肺癌、肺错构瘤及结核球的诊断正确率分别为86%、92%及90%,平均诊断正确率为89.3%,高于常规阅片法的82%,但两组间差异无统计学意义(χ2=2.434,P>0.05)。最能提示为肺癌的征象依次为空泡征、分叶征、支气管充气征和血管集束征;最能提示为肺错构瘤的征象依次为脂肪、边缘清楚及钙化;最能提示为结核球的征象依次为空洞、卫星灶、钙化及胸膜凹陷征。结论:最大似然法对常见SPN的鉴别诊断正确率有所提高,是一种辅助影像学诊断的有价值的方法。     

肺撕裂伤的CT分型及临床意义

目的 探讨闭合性胸外伤中肺撕裂伤的CT分型及临床意义.方法 将63例肺撕裂伤据CT表现分为单纯型肺撕裂伤(脏层胸膜完整,无气胸或血气胸征)和复杂型肺撕裂伤(伴有脏层胸膜破裂,有气胸或血气胸征)两组.并对其CT与临床资料进行回顾性比较分析.结果 63例中,脏层胸膜完整的单纯型肺撕裂伤35例(56%),多为肺边缘局灶性肺假性囊肿病灶,无并发症,均经保守治疗后消散快,平均住院16 d.伴有脏层胸膜破裂的复杂型肺撕裂伤28例(44%),肺内损伤范围较大,伴有肺挫伤20例(71%),并发肺膨胀不全或肺不张15例(54%),局部肺感染3例(11%),行胸腔穿刺或闭式引流19例(69%),开胸手术1例(4%),平均住院58 d.结论肺撕裂伤据CT表现是否伴有脏层胸膜破裂町分为单纯型肺撕裂伤和复杂型肺撕裂伤,CT分型诊断对临床治疗方案的选择和预后的早期判断有帮助.
