[Computer-assisted patient management. Individual electronic data processing-assisted documentation in gynecology].

EDP-supported documentation of patients has become increasingly important over the last several years. Seven autonomous wards of the gynecological department of the Hospital Rudolfstiftung were equipped with a clinical documentation system. The integration of this new system into the infrastructure of the KIS (Krankenhausinformationssystem) was accomplished with the help of the MD-ADV. We also implemented one of the best-known statistical analyzing systems, SAS, so that we have simple possibilities for statistical calculation and graphical plots.

[Computer-assisted patient data management: from department-specific individual solutions to Vienna-wide network comprehensive solution].

Up to now the daily routine work and statistics have been facilitated by using some self-developed microcomputer based data collection systems. No network has been established. Currently we implemented in out hospital "Krankenanstalt Rudolfstitung" a country-wide patient oriented data collection net system. In future it will be possible to compare all patients datas, methods and success of treatment of all Viennese hospitals.

Haemagglutination by the Bacteroides fragilis group.

Adhesive properties of five species of Bacteroides were compared by direct haemagglutination with erythrocytes of different origin. Only strains of Bacteroides fragilis agglutinated erythrocytes and different patterns of haemagglutination were observed. None of eight carbohydrates tested inhibited haemagglutination. The activity was destroyed by heat and by periodate treatment, but not by three proteases tested.

Genetics of colicin E susceptibility in citrobacter freundii.

The insensitivity of Citrobacter freundii to the E colicins is based on tolerance to colicin E1 and resistance to colicins E2 and E3. Spontaneous colicin A resistant mutants of C. freundii also lost their colicin E1 receptor function. Sensitivity to colicin E1 can be induced by F'gal+tol+ plasmids, the tol A+ gene product of which is responsible for this effect. Receptor function for colicins E2 and E3 is induced by the E. coli F'14 bfe+ plasmid, which is also able to enhance notably the receptor capacity for colicin E1. The bfe+ gene product of E. coli, which is responsible for these phenomena, also restores the receptor function for colicin A and E1 in colicin A resistant mutants of C. freundii. All results show that there is a remarkable difference between the E. coli bfe+ gene product and the bfe+ gene product of C. freundii and also between the tol A+ gene products of these strains. The sensitivity to phage BF23 parallels the sensitivity to colicins E2 and E3 and is also induced by the F'14 bfe+ plasmid.
