Abstract

In the University of Tokyo Hospital, the improved client server HIS has been applied to clinical practice and physicians can order prescription, laboratory examination, ECG examination and radiographic examination, etc. directly by themselves and read results of these examinations, except medical signal waves, schema and image, on UNIX workstations. Recently, we designed and developed an ECG storage and retrieval system embedded in the client server HIS utilizing object-oriented database to take the first step in dealing with digitized signal, schema and image data and show waves, graphics, and images directly to physicians by the client server HIS. The system was developed based on object-oriented analysis and design, and implemented with object-oriented database management system (OODMS) and C++ programming language. In this paper, we describe the ECG data model, functions of the storage and retrieval system, features of user interface and the result of its implementation in the HIS.

Proposed new data file standard for flow cytometry, version FCS 3.0.

In 1984, the first flow cytometry data file format was proposed as Flow Cytometry Standard 1.0 (FCS1.0). FCS 1.0 provided a uniform file format allowing data acquired on one computer to be correctly read and interpreted on other computers running a variety of operating systems. That standard was modified in 1990 and adopted by the Society of Analytical Cytology as FCS 2.0. Here, we report on an update of the FCS 2.0 standard which we propose to designate FCS 3.0. We have retained the basic four segment structure of earlier versions (HEADER, TEXT, DATA and ANALYSIS) in order to maintain analysis software compatibility, where possible. The changes described in this proposal include a method to collect files larger than 100 megabytes (not possible in earlier versions of the standard), the inclusion of international characters in the TEXT portions of the file, a method of verifying data integrity using a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check, and increased keyword support for cluster analysis and time acquisition. This report summarizes the work of the ISAC Data File Standards Committee. The complete and detailed FCS 3.0 standard is available through the ISAC office [Sherwood Group, 60 Revere Drive, Ste 500, Northbrook, IL 60062, phone: (847) 480-9080 ext. 231, fax: (847) 480-9282, E-mail: isac@sherwood-group.com] or through the internet at the ISAC WWW site, http://nucleus.immunol.washington.edu/ISAC.ht ml.

Concept locator: a client-server application for retrieval of UMLS metathesaurus concepts through complex boolean query.

Concept Locator (CL) is a client-server application that accesses a Sybase relational database server containing a subset of the UMLS Metathesaurus for the purpose of retrieval of concepts corresponding to one or more query expressions supplied to it. CL's query grammar permits complex Boolean expressions, wildcard patterns, and parenthesized (nested) subexpressions. CL translates the query expressions supplied to it into one or more SQL statements that actually perform the retrieval. The generated SQL is optimized by the client to take advantage of the strengths of the server's query optimizer, and sidesteps its weaknesses, so that execution is reasonably efficient.
