GIDEON update
GIDEONț update # 96.4 December 1, 1996
Software Improvements: Lists of alternate names for countries, diseases,
drugs and microbes have been extensively updated...GIDEON now contains over
4,300 synonyms !! [accessed by pressing F8 in relevant modules]
Diagnosis The Symptom list has been expanded to
include elderly adults and children below age 2, ingestion (food, water, fecal-oral,
etc), sexual contact and underlying disease. You should review the definitions for
each new 'symptom' by pressing F2. Such changes could alter details of patient
files stored in your current version. We suggest that you print out hard copies of
all patient files prior to installing these update disks.
New Diseases Added The designation, 'Septicemia - fungal'
has been changed to 'Fungal infections - invasive' The classification of Bartonella
infection has been reorganized: Bartonellosis is now listed as 'Bartonellosis -
South American'; Cat scratch disease as 'Bartonellosis - Cat borne'; Trench
fever as 'Bartonellosis - Other systemic'. The designation, "Animal injury / contact"
has been restructured to include only cases in which you consider the animal to
be directly involved in the current illness. Until now, contact with dogs,
cats, birds, etc was considered universal, and compatible with all infections
(with appropriate weight given to dog-associated, cat-associated, etc diseases).
'Marsupial' has been added to this list.
