Our results suggest that norepinephrine can be used safely in the treatment of severe septic shock states. Mean arterial pressure and glomerular filtration rate improved markedly without deleterious effects on CI, O2AVI and VO2I.

ZusammenfassungIntuition und Erfahrung in der Heilkunde stehen auch heute einem Standpunkt gegenu È ber, der an Schemata und mechanistischem Denken orientiert ist. Es ist aber zu bedenken, dass beide Haltungen der Opinion-based-Medicine zugeho È rig sind, also der Entscheidungsfindung u È ber Meinungen. Die konventionelle Medizin versucht, diesen Mangel an Objektivita È t zu u È berwinden mit Hilfe der an Nachweisen orientierten Evidence-basedMedicine. Diese beruht jedoch auf Statistiken und ist damit schematisiert. Anzustreben ist ein Abstimmen auf den Einzelfall ± eine Individualisierung ± bei gleichzeitiger Objektivierbarkeit. Dies gelingt mit Methoden, die den Ko È rper befragen: der Organismus antwortet korrekt. Eine mo È gliche Realisierung dieser Vorgaben geschieht durch die Meridiandiagnostik.Schlu È sselwo È rter Objektivierung, Individualisierung, Meinungs-basierte Medizin, Evidenz-based-Medicine, Entscheidungsfindung, Meridiandiagnostik. AbstractIntuition and experiences in medicine today are antagonists of the orientation at schemes and mechanistic thinking. It should be considered, however, that both ways are a part of the opinion-based-medicine concerning medical decision making. The conventional medicine tries to overcome this deficit of objectivity by means of the evidencebased-medicine. This new approach, however, is based on statistics and is schematised. A concentration on the single patient ± an individualization ± has to be achieved, together with an objectivation. This can be done successfully by methods which are asking the body and registering its correct answers. A possible realization of this approach exists by means of the meridian diagnostics.

The frequency distribution analysis of biological data enables an insight into the regulatory state of the organism. In case of strong or permanent deviations from the balance of the systems (e.g. of the vegetative nervous system) abnormalities and/or diseases will result. They are associated with a tendency either to chaos or to rigidity. We examined in this way families over two or three generations. Similarities in their distribution histogram types are evaluated which confirm a genetic disposition and a heritability of system patterns. Risk profiles are resulting individually and concerning the descendants making possible a systemic prevention therapy or a modification of the life style. The analysis method may be adapted to a lot of medical examinations and represents an objective second opinion concerning health prevention. `
