[Establishing a general surgical thesaurus for a speech recognition system for electronic data processing assisted surgical report recording].

Hand-written or manually typed operation reports which are still in use in most hospitals are no longer sufficient to handle the ever-increasing amount of reports that need to be processed. We developed a thesaurus for general surgery to be used within the speech-recognition system ISSS (IBM Speech Server Series). From dictation in the operation theatre, the operation report will be generated simultaneously in its written form using a fast PC as interface.

Antiproliferative, cytotoxic and recovery effects in tumor-cell cultures treated with synthetic phospholipids.

Antiproliferative and cytotoxic efficacies of the phospholipids OPP and HPC were compared in a panel of 10 human and rat tumor cell lines. The dose ranges were similar for the inhibition of cell growth measured by ID50 and for the cytotoxic effect (LD(50)). The ratios of LD(50)/ID50 revealed variations between the individual cell lines.
