This article examines the concept of tissue adaptation in response to the application of plaster of Paris splints and casts. A review of the history of plaster of Paris and its composition, its working properties, and precautions for its use introduces the reader to this oft-forgotten material. Four
OBJECTIVE
To identify changing trends in penetrating keratoplasties (PKs) performed at the Hotel-Dieu Hospital in Paris between January 1980 and December 1999 and to explain the reasons for the changes.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed 3,736 of the 3,836 PKs performed between January 1, 1980, and
Since January 1, 1995, the supply, stockage, dispensing and traceability of Blood Derivative Medicinal Products (BDMP) are subject to pharmaceutical regulations. A review of 24 months' application at Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital is presented and analysed. A distinction is drawn between two
A total of 69 patients with primary Raynaud phenomenon were included in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy of nicardipine, a new calcium channel blocker. The trial data were combined with a meteorological survey. Nicardipine
We describe a woman whose fatal post-liver transplantation cerebral edema was unexpected and of unusual pathogenesis. Her severe cerebral edema is of considerable pathophysiologic interest: 1) it developed in the setting of marked anasarca and persistent hypernatremia, and 2) although hepatic
Plasma from persons with hereditary angioneurotic edema readily developed the capacity to increase vascular permeability and to induce the isolated rat uterus to contract. Both activities resided in a small, heat-stable molecule that was apparently a polypeptide. Crude preparations of the
We are presenting a 79-year-old woman with congestive heart failure (CHF) and marked peripheral edema, who responded to medical management by losing 19.7% of her weight. The patient was studied with daily weights, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), and body electrical resistance/reactance/impedance
The occurrence of macular edema, or of intraretinal fluid in general, was largely unknown prior to the invention of the ophthalmoscope. One of the first reports on 'Retinitis in Glycosuria', a disease complex, which today would partly be described as diabetic maculopathy, was published in 1856 by
BACKGROUND
While ultrasound (US) has continued to expedite diagnosis and therapy for critical care physicians inside the hospital system, the technology has been slow to diffuse into the pre-hospital system. Given the diagnostic benefits of thoracic ultrasound (TUS), we sought to evaluate image
The classical plaster bandage was devised in the mid 19th century. Until recently, osteoarticular trauma has been treated mostly by plaster cast immobilisation using plaster of Paris. Synthetic materials have been introduced on the market place in the seventies, but they have not superseded the
We report the case of an athletic 49-year-old female who has run the 2011 Marathon of Paris and was addressed to the hospital for a confusion. The investigations revealed a cerebral edema complicating a severe hyponatremia secondary to an exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH). Using 3% hypertonic
At the beginning of the 19th century, every medical discovery had to be examined by the School of Medicine in Paris according to the regulation of the 'secret medicines'. The members of the commission made the analysis of the formula or the suggested method and reported their conclusion before an
