Abstract

To improve the prediction of suicidal risk one has to understand the suicidal thoughts in individuals. We formalized these ideas and integrated them into an understanding system. In such a system the ideas concerning suicide cooperate in such a way so that the suicidal attempt appears to be the optimal solution for this patient. We discuss the question whether such an idiographic understanding system may help to understand other patients too.

Development and retrospective evaluation of Hepaxpert-I: a routinely-used expert system for interpretive analysis of hepatitis A and B serologic findings.

Hepaxpert-I is an expert system that interprets the results of routine serologic tests for infection with hepatitis A or B virus. The tests measure antibody to the hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV), IgM antibody to the hepatitis A virus (IgM anti-HAV), hepatitis A virus (HAV) in the stool, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody (anti-HBs), antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc and IgM anti-HBc), and hepatitis B envelope antigen (HBeAg) and antibody (anti-HBe). The knowledge base of Hepaxpert-I contains 13 If-Then rules for hepatitis A and 106 If-Then rules for hepatitis B serology. Formally, knowledge acquisition was done by forming a partition of each of the two sets of possible serologic finding patterns that contain patterns of serologic test results, 64 for hepatitis A and 4096 for hepatitis B, respectively. After entering an input pattern of serologic test results in Hepaxpert-I, a rule pattern matching algorithm based on indexing is internally employed as efficient access method for providing the respective interpretive text. Since 1 September 1989, Hepaxpert-I has been routinely applied at the Hepatitis Serology Laboratory of the 2nd Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Vienna Medical School (Vienna General Hospital). Beforehand, a retrospective evaluation of the expert system based on 23,368 hepatitis A and 24,071 hepatitis B serology requests was carried out.

The NST-EXPERT project: the need to evolve.

NST-EXPERT is a medical expert system designed to evaluate fetal condition (especially in 'high risk' pregnancies). The system reasons based on data from the Non-Stress Test (NST), a monitoring test widely used in obstetrics. From specific limited maternal-fetal context information together with the analysis of the NST results the system infers a diagnosis for each case, elaborates a therapeutic plan, and suggests a prognosis of an early neonatal outcome. This article describes a new version based on a previous research prototype. Such systems can aid clinicians of varied experience in assessing and managing complicated pregnancies.
