Diagnostic system

The diagnostic system DK-ID comrising the X-ray densitometer and special equipment for speciments prepare is designed in MSIA Spectrum . This system is actively used by several Russian companies dealing with forestry. The fact of efficient radiographic tomography use, when inspecting the conditions of trees in the forests is also known.

A chart for vibration diagnosis is presented in Table 19-9. While this is a general criterion or rough guideline for diagnosis of mechanical problems, it can be developed into a very powerful diagnostic system when specific problems and their associated frequency domain vibration spectra are... 

Consider again a batch polymerization process where the process is characterized by the sequential execution of a number of steps that take place in the two reactors. These are steps such as initial reactor charge, titration, reaction initiation, polymerization, and transfer. Because much of the critical product quality information is available only at the end of a batch cycle, the data interpretation system has been designed for diagnosis at the end of a cycle. At the end of a particular run, the data are analyzed and the identification of any problems is translated into corrective actions that are implemented for the next cycle. The interpretations of interest include root causes having to do with process problems (e.g., contamination or transfer problems), equipment malfunctions (e.g., valve problems or instrument failures), and step execution problems (e.g., titration too fast or too much catalyst added). The output dimension of the process is large with more than 300 possible root causes. Additional detail on the diagnostic system can be found in Sravana (1994).

From the cultural point of view, this formulation was the main step forward in the DSM-IV, despite the fact that the placement of this Cultural Formulation Outline in the ninth appendix of DSM-IV drastically limits the visibility and accessibility of this development (Mezzich, 1996). We will now go on to examine the repercussions the Cultural Formulation is having on current diagnostic systems.

The central tenet of this book is that the current diagnostic system is questionable because diagnostic entities have not received the type of empirical scrutiny that should be applied to them. Without further scrutiny there is a risk that psychiatric entities will attain mythic legitimacy, based largely on their codification within the DSM. This is not a small problem, and we would suggest that mental health researchers and practitioners be very concerned about this because we have quite possibly constructed a nosologic house of cards. ... 

Psychiatric diagnostic systems appear to make the implicit assumption that diagnostic entities reflect natural categories. The DSM makes divisions... 

Evaluation of diagnostic endeavors reveals two principal and interrelated functions of a classification system. First, diagnostic systems are used to determine what constitutes a disorder (psychiatric condition or not) second, diagnostic systems are used to discriminate among the identified psychiatric conditions. Therefore, in discussing classification, we must first ask what a mental disorder is (i.e., should x be considered a psychiatric condition ). If we answer affirmatively, we must then consider whether this disorder is unique from other disorders within the classification system. We briefly consider each of these issues next. 

There has been some suggestion that the DSM may be influenced by the development of other classification systems, most notably by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10 World Health Organization, 1992) which is a widely used international diagnostic system. There are certainly examples in the DSM-III-R and DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1987, 1994) that clearly indicate that the DSM was changed simply to make it more compatible with an ICD diagnosis. For example, the DSM-IV added a new diagnosis termed Acute Stress Disorder for compatibility with the ICD-10 (American Psychiatric Association, 1994, p. 783). 

It also seems likely that some mental disorders (perhaps major depressive disorder) in their present form will fail to show evidence of taxonicity, but definitional refinement would help elucidate underlying taxa (e.g., melancholia). Thus, taxometrics may be able to serve as an impetus and a guide for revising the diagnostic system. Of course, taxometric methods alone are not sufficient to tackle this task and should be used in conjunction with dimensional methods, such as exploratory factor analysis. Dimensions provide the building blocks for construction of taxa, and research on the structure of psychopathology should integrate dimensional and taxometric methods.

The use of a broad definition of what constitutes a drug for regulatory purposes is a precedent that remains in place today. For example, the computer software used in diagnostic systems is considered to be a pharmaceutical for purposes of regulation.
