[Percutaneous fine needle cytopuncture of lymph nodes opacified by lymphography, in urogenital pathology. Apropos of 174 cases].

Percutaneous fine needle puncture of lymph nodes after lymphography with contrast has been performed in 174 patients with urogenital tumors (bladder: 108, prostate: 41, testes: 25). Conducted under direct television screen control the procedure is simple to perform and provokes little discomfort for the patient, since it is painless and relatively non-traumatic. Needle puncture is a reliable technique resulting in no false positives and very few false negatives when carried out using the previously described technique (routine sampling and technical success). Combining lymphography with needle puncture is of undoubted value for detecting extension of tumor and improving choice of therapy.

[Two experiences of intermediate structures stemming from a traditional institution : group home and supervised apartments.].

So-called "alternative resources" - can they be produced by traditional institutions, and under what conditions0 This is the question to which the article attempts to respond. It recounts two experiences which have been running for four and two years, respectively. Statistical data reflect three years of operation of a group home and one year of functioning of supervised apartments. It seems that the institutional entry into the "alternative" arena is a hopeful sign.

The influence of multidirectional vibrations on wound healing and on regeneration of blood- and lymph vessels.

Experiments show that the multidirectional vibration therapy is not an aggressive technique: when applied to the newly-formed lymph-vessels in the scar, we observed that they were not damaged by this technique whereas we had found in earlier studies that a gentle effleurage destructed the newly formed lymph network in the scar. When using this treatment, little or no adhesion of the scar to the underlying tissues is observed. There is a significant decrease of the local edema when compared to a standard group of wound-healing without multidirectional vibrations. There is also a significant decrease of general and local congestion and no increase in the permeability of veins and lymph vessels is present. The application of the local multidirectional vibration therapy accelerates the regeneration of the severed vein and lymph vessel.

Rehabilitation protocol in upper limb lymphedema.

Edema of the upper limb is, frequently, very invalidating. The physical treatment for edema of the upper limb consists on a combination of different therapies: manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), intermittent sequential pressotherapy (IPP) with a very low intensity, multilayer bandages (MLB), and compression sleeves. Patients are not hospitalized. In the first step of physical treatment, the patients are treated daily during 2 or 3 weeks with different therapies (MLD, IPP and MLB). During the second step, bandages are no more used. The compression garments are applied after this 2 or 3 weeks period. The physical treatment consist now in: manual lynphatic drainage and intermittent sequential pressotherapy (with low intensity). The frequency of the physical treatment is progressively decreased.
