Requirements of Health Data Management Systems for Biomedical Care and Research: Scoping Review.

Background: Over the last century, disruptive incidents in the fields of clinical and biomedical research have yielded a tremendous change in health data management systems. This is due to a number of breakthroughs in the medical field and the need for big data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) to be incorporated in a real-time smart health information management system. In addition, the requirements of patient care have evolved over time, allowing for more accurate prognoses and diagnoses.

[Lasermicrosurgery of benign lesions of the vocal cord and functional results (author's transl)].

There exist two different lasers for the endolaryngeal microsurgery: Carbon-dioxid-Laser (lambda = 10,6 micrometer) and Neodymium: YAG-Laser (lambda = 1,06 micrometer). We have performed with the Nd: YAG-Laser mediLas experimental studies with animals as well as clinical investigations. Now we do endolaryngeal lasermicrosurgery in selected cases as a method of treatment.

[What can be expected of the endolaryngeal use of the neodymium-YAG laser as a treatment method?].

A short review of experiences in animal usage is made, and the first clinical experiences with the endolaryngeal application of the Neodymium: YAG laser MediLas in the treatment of benign vocal cord lesions are reported. The initial results are favourable, but final judgement of this microsurgical technique must be based upon a larger number of patients and a longer follow-up.

[Morphology of a malignant parotideal lymphoma with paraproteinaceous cytoplasmic inclusions (author's transl)].

A female patient presented with a lump in the right parotedeal region. A needle aspiration biopsy was performed which revealed numerous monomorphous atypical lymphoid cells with PAS-negative cytoplasmic inclusions. This raised the suspicion of malignancy.

Rhinological findings following transantrosphenoidal surgery of the pituitary gland.

Fifty patients with pituitary gland tumours on whom we operated via the transantrosphenoidal route, were rhinologically followed up with a view to revealing any conceivable functional impairments incurred by this method. Our investigations included rhinoscopy, endoscopy of the nasal and paranasal cavities and of the epipharynx, X-ray controls, and probes of the nn. olfactorius and trigeminus.
