[Computer-assisted information processing in nephrology exemplified by the Nephrology-Dialysis Data System].

The data system nephrology/dialysis (DSND) may improve the documentation and information processes used in chronic hemodialysis. DNSD is efficient if the data input is done carefully. It is possible to display large numbers of laboratory and dialysis data arranged alpha-numerically or graphically.

[Computer-assisted information processing in nephrology exemplified by the Nephrology/Dialysis Data System (DSND). 1].

In nephrology in the GDR there are three data processing systems on 16-bit basis either in preparation or in use. 1. Data system nephrology - outpatient service 2.

[Airway resistance in dialysis patients].

The oscillatory resistance to respiration ROS is not significantly influenced by the process of dialysis and thus does not allow a conclusion to a possible predialytic increase of the extravascular pulmonary water. The body-plethysmographically determined resistance of the respiratory tract Rt shows homogeneous behaviour. A functionally intact respiratory system is of vital importance for the patient with renal insufficiency.

[Results of immunosuppressive therapy of chronic glomerulonephritis in 400 patients].

For the judgment of the success of the immunosuppressive therapy of chronic glomerulonephritis 400 patients (242 males and 158 females) at an average age of 31.2 years were examined after an average duration of treatment of 31.9 months.

[Methods and specificity of internal medicine specialties in multiphasic screening].

Issuing from the classical definitions for the diagnostic sensitivity and specifity of examination methods in multiphasic screenings is deduced that out of the whole methodical spectre of internal specialities only limited parts are to be applied in multiphasic screenings. At the instance of a multiple multiphasic screenings (model study Sternberg '70) ways to the establishment of reduced optimal parameter combinations are demonstrated. With multivariate statistical methods (facotor analysis, discriminative methods) we succeeded in finding parameter combinations for special groups of diagnosis (liver diseases, hypertension and obesity), by means which these groups in multiphasic screenings are clearly to be differentiated from the healthy symptom-free residual population.
