Virtual real-time digital processing of hemodynamic data

At present, the majority of cardiac catheterization laboratories acquire and store hemo-dynamic data in analog form. To examine the possibility of performing complex analysis of digital data during the catheterization procedure, we examined whether virtual realtime digital (fast Fourier) analysis improves the accuracy of clinical data. We compared digital filtering of fluid manometry during right heart catheterization with 10-Hz and 250-Hz analog filters. Using the simultaneously acquired micromanometry as the “gold standard,” we found that analog filtering is associated with a greater error and time delay than digital filtering. This study demonstrates that digital hemodynamic data analysis performed during cardiac catheterization can improve the quality of data obtained during right heart catheterization, with the results available within seconds. More extensive use of computers in the cardiac catheterization laboratory may be useful for both clinical and research purposes. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

The usefulness of detailed information to patients with contact allergy

To find out if patients with contact allergy are helped by computerized information lists, a retrospective study was carried out on 58 patients with contact allergy to lanolin, traced through our local database DALUK. All were sent a questionnaire about their usage of the information list, clearance of their eczema, their education and other details. Clearance of the patient's eczema was found to correlate with use of the information list. It was also found that the effectiveness of the information depended on factors such as education, family circumstances, ethnic background and, most of all, how and where the information list was used.     

人眼调制传递函数自动测试装置

本文介绍一个用单片机控制的人眼视网膜－大脑系统调制传递函数测量装置，与传统方法不同，该装置调制对比度是利用电光晶体控制激光束强度的来达到的。该装置不但可以测量空间调制传递的函数，还可测量时－空调制传递函数，并以数据和曲线的形式打印输出。     

电子计算机监护慢性肝病程序的验证

用参与建立数学模型的521例资料和307例没参与建立数学模型的病例资料验证电子计算机监护慢性肝病的程序。以病理学检查、或以3个月至3年的临床观察结果作为诊断的金标准。254例临床诊断作为对照。验证结果表明（1）计算机监护优于临床诊断，（2）本程序敏感度高。     

颅脑外伤性病变的CT检查及其临床意义

目的：探讨颅脑外伤严重程度及CT征象与预后的关系，并探讨CT复查的最佳时间及临床意义。方法：回顾性分析80例颅脑外伤的严重程度与初次CT征象的关系，统计分析复查CT发现新病变的数目、程度及时间。结果：颅脑外伤的严重程度与初次CT征象符合率为92．5％(74／80)。外伤后即刻昏迷、CT显示重度复合伤、脑干损伤或弥漫性脑白质损伤的病死率达70．0％(21／30)。1～3d复查CT发现迟发性病变80个，4—7d21个，7d后8个。结论：临床病情与CT征象变化对判断预后有重要意义，颅脑外伤后3、7d是复查CT的最佳时机，出现病情变化应随时复查。     

螺旋CT三维重建脊柱的临床意义和应用前景

目的：探讨螺旋CT扫描和三维重建在脊柱病变中的临床应用价值。方法：对12例脊柱疾病患者进行螺旋CT扫描和三维重建。结果：腰椎间盘突出症和椎管狭窄症3例，脊柱骨折5例，侧弯畸形2例，肿瘤2例，均得到正确诊治。结论：螺旋CT扫描及三维重建技术可广泛应用于脊柱病变的诊断，能直观显示脊柱病变部位的形态。     

螺旋CT扫描与多模式三维重建诊断腰椎间盘突出症

目的 探讨螺旋CT扫描容积数据与三维重建诊断腰椎间盘突出症(LDH)的价值。资料与方法 94例行连续容积扫描：准直3～5mm，螺距1．5～3．0，以1．3～2．7mm间距后重建；源影像输入AW4．0工作站，应用多平面重建(MPR)、表面遮盖显示(SSD)和仿真内镜(VE)等软件显示病变，并与椎间盘镜(MED)诊治对照。结果 8例正常；LDH86例：中央型、侧旁、椎间管、椎管外、侧方及混合型分别为19、39、5、2、3、18例。三维重建显示LDH的立体结构为堤坡形、扁丘形、尖丘形、双(多)丘形及游离形分别为34、26、9、5、2例。VE诊断LDH的准确度、灵敏度、特异度分别为95％、100％、80％。VE能模拟MED效果。结论 容积数据与多模式三维重建能提供诊断LDH更全面的信息，并模拟微创手术治疗。     

胸骨浆细胞肉芽肿1例报告

浆细胞肉芽肿临床较少见,常发生于肺、眼眶及消化道等部位,发生于骨则罕见。大部分骨的浆细胞肉芽肿发生于颞骨,发生于胸骨者尚少见报道。现将我院胸骨浆细胞肉芽肿1例报告如下。
