The literature and the Internet provide different sources, in which medical community as well as patients can browse through medical algorithms. These algorithms are dispersed and use different formats of presentation. We present visualized diagnosis (ViDis), a web platform aimed to construction and sharing of graphical representations of medical algorithms in a single place and in a unified format. ViDis is accessible as a web application, which can run on an arbitrary platform with a modern web browser. The platform's user friendly interfaces allow the users with different backgrounds to construct, share, and browse through medical algorithms. Visualization of the algorithms can be created using a flowchart diagram notation that is commonly applied in the design of computer software and is very intuitive to use and understand. Algorithms can be viewed in two different formats, that is, in the format of flowchart diagrams or in the format of sequential steps that guide the user from the beginning to the end of a medical procedure in dependence on his or her decisions made in each step of the process. ViDis enables registered users to create, edit, and share visualized medical algorithms and guest users to view these visualizations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first platform for efficient sharing of medical algorithms with the community. We believe that ViDis provides an excellent platform for sharing medical knowledge and information among diagnosticians, clinicians, researchers, and patients.
Eritrocitoza je stanje s povečano maso eritrocitov v telesu. Odrazi se s povečanim hematokritom, zvečano koncentracijo hemoglobina in povečanim številom eritrocitov v krvi. Ločimo absolutno in relativno eritrocitozo. Absolutne oblike pa nato delimo na primarne in sekundarne ter obe skupini še na prirojene in pridobljene. Opredelitev diagnoze pri bolniku je mnogokrat težavna, zato pomemben delež bolnikov ostane diagnostično neopredeljen; govorimo o idiopatični eritrocitozi. Namen prispevka je izboljšati diagnosticiranje in vključiti nove genetske preiskave v klinično prakso v Sloveniji. Predlagamo razširjen in natančen algoritem za obravnavo eritrocitoz. Opisujemo razvrstitev različnih oblik eritrocitoz, klinično sliko, genetsko ozadje prirojenih eritrocitoz, diagnostične metode in možnosti zdravljenja. Pregledali smo tudi podatke o 5-letnem obdobju obravnave pridobljenih genetskih različic v JAK2 v Sloveniji. Gre za prvo laboratorijsko testiranje z namenom opredeliti vrsto eritrocitoz. S tem smo pridobili osnovni vpogled v razširjenost bolezni v Sloveniji.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
