چکیده

IBM System 34 (central processing unit, 128 kilobytes; fixed disks, 128.4 megabytes) with seven cathode-ray tubes has been used by ott clinical laboratories for the last 30 months. All data-entry programs are in a conversational mode, for on-line corrections of possible errors in patient identification and results. Daily reports are removed from the medical records after temporary and permanent cumulative weekly reports are received, which keep a three-month track of the results. The main advantages of the system are: (a) the increasing laboratory work load can be handled with the same staff; (b) the volume of the medical record files on the patients is decreased; (c) an easily retrievable large data base of results is formed for research purposes; ( faster billing; and (e) the computer system is run without engaging any additional staff.

I had placed the IUS some 6 years previously under a cervical block, needing to dilate the tight cervical canal for insertion. The patient’s periods had been well controlled. The IUS was easily removed but, as pictured, the arms ...

Removal of copper-bearing IUDs in asymptomatic patients. Reply.

Response regarding an unusual shaped IUS.

I read with interest Dr MacGregor’s letter regarding the unusual shape of a Mirena intrauterine system (IUS) following removal. From the photograph it would appear that the capsule has become displaced and the arms of the device enclosed within it. We have seen a case of complete detachment of the capsule from the frame, with unrecognised retention of the capsule within the uterine cavity. This...
