[Morphology of the tibial tuberosity].

The influence of anterior projection of the tibial tuberosity in the pathogenesis of anterior knee pain syndromes has been given relatively little attention. This point has been investigated by performing a morphological study of 77 knee-joints with a standard radiological method. The knees fell into two groups: one of them included typical patellar syndromes, the other group included knees presenting with some other conditions, mostly meniscal. A subjective evaluation of the shape of the tuberosity was made and correlated with clinical status. An objective rating was attempted by measuring the anterior projection of the tuberosity, in order to eliminate the influence of skeletal size, it was expressed as a ratio between two values. Subjective evaluation of the shapes of the tuberosities was found unreliable. The individual values for the calculated index of anterior projection were found to be scattered for every morphological type. It appeared difficult to conclude that there is a definite proven relationship between hypoplasia of the tuberosity and overloading of the femoro-patellar joint. Evaluation of the anterior projection of the tuberosity should take into account the position of the tuberosity in the coronal plane.

[Codus: a coding system for ultrasonic examinations].

A semeiologic and anatomic code for ultrasound imaging data has been in use for 3 years. A simple index, it allows coding under specific headings of almost all ultrasound record sheets and can be modified as a function of the requirement of different departments. It is also perfectly well adapted for inclusion in a data-processing system.

[Influence of diazepam premedication on upper digestive fiberscopy. 81 cases].

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is routinely used to follow up patients with digestive disease. The influence of premedication with diazepam on the procedure and on patients' acceptance of a second endoscopy was evaluated in a double-blind trial conducted on 81 patients randomized to 3 types of intravenous premedication: placebo (group A, 29 patients), diazepam 5 mg (group B, 27 patients) and diazepam 10 mg (group C, 25 patients). Endoscopy was performed under unfavourable conditions (refusal or agitation) in 12, 4 and 1 patients respectively of groups A, B and C (P less than 0.02). Out of 65 patients questioned one month later, 1 (group A) sternly refused a second endoscopy, 10 accepted unreservedly (O in group A, 4 in group B, 6 in group C; P less than 0.05 between A and C) and 54 accepted reluctantly. To find out whether diazepam was beneficial by impairing memory, a memory score on duration of the procedure was established; there were no significant differences between the three groups (P less than 0.001), but they did not correlate with the patients' acceptance of a second endoscopy. It is concluded that premedication with diazepam 10 mg i.v. makes upper gastrointestinal endoscopy easier to perform and facilitates acceptance of a repeat endoscopy 1 month later. This effect is probably independent of the impairment in memory induced by diazepam.

[Computerized report of anesthesia in real time].

The computerized report of anesthesia (C.R.A.) is an equivalent of the document filled out by the anesthesiologist, linked to a multicriteria research program giving the opportunity to study connections between different performances of anesthesia. To obtain these results, the authors are introducing a microcomputerized system in real time, including a microcomputer (capacity 64 kO), a visual display monitor (80 column format), two floppy disks controllers and a printer. Through a "menu", there is an access to the following functions: identity, patient story, drug prescriptions, anesthetics used, chronology of administration, monitoring of parameters, incidents/accidents, multicriteria research, editing of the C.R.A. The operational realisation shows that this computerized system offers storage capacity and allows a retrospective analysis of anesthesia. As it is inexpensive and easy to use, it may become a very important device in every-day practice.
