[On some problems of the integration of USCRASP and the population census].

"The major problems inherent to the operation, improvement and development of the Unified System for Civil Registration and Administrative Servicing of the Population (USCRASP) over the period of preparation for the integration with the 1985 [Bulgarian] census are discussed.... Analysed are the results from the experiment for solving problems of [organization], software, hardware and [methodology]...with respect to defining the information base of USCRASP and increasing the possibilities [of using] the information of the system in future censuses and sociological surveys." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)

Computer simulation of a cerebellar cortex compartment. II. An information learning and its recall in the Marr's memory unit.

Computer simulation experiments are described regarding information storage and retrieval at a network consisting of one Purkinje cell and 20,000 granule cells. The information content depends on a scheme type and the properties of Purkinje cells. It is shown that a practically attainable information record efficiency is of the order 0.6 bit per binary memorising synapse. Associative information recall is demonstrated for the Marr's memory unit and expressions are derived for an information-content estimation based on parameter values obtained by simulation. The consequences of this computer simulation for physiological experiments are extensively discussed.

Storage and utilization of images in otorhinolaryngology.

The amount of data in the field of otorhinolaryngology has rapidly increased, in proportion to the growing number of patients. Medical imaging has especially expanded and the percentage of image data in all information is also large. Because the space to preserve image films is increasing, it is very important to preserve them and make them easily available. Therefore, we have established a graphic filling system for storing endoscopic and radiographic images on VHS video tape and magnet-optical disk (MOD), using a personal computer. The MOD filing system is useful for storing a large amount of medical records. The user can simultaneously see the text data and the picture image on a display, and thus this system can be utilized as a database for both decision making and medical research.

Diagnostic follow-up to consultant physicians by computer feedback.

A computer follow-up system has been developed which automatically prepares follow-up summaries for consultant physicians. This makes it possible to provide reliable feedback of diagnostic information in place of the traditional but haphazard word-of-mouth process. This system has been tested initially for surgical and autopsy-pathology follow-up of neuroradiology and nuclear medicine consultations using report conclusions available from the UCLA Natural Language Information Storage and Retrieval System.

CD-ROM. A new advance in medical information retrieval.

The massive production of medical information is being met by new technologies for storing and retrieving knowledge. Recent years have witnessed the maturation of time-sharing information utilities into a full-blown industry. In medicine these services have provided bibliographic information but have recently expanded to full-text availability of journals and books. Now optical storage technology, most conspicuously the compact disk read only memory (CD-ROM), provides similar massive information storage and retrieval affordable to microcomputer users. Such devices might replace many of the functions of time-sharing.
