[Isolated thrombosis of the left brachiocephalic venous trunk].

Only Flower (1976) has reported an isolated obstruction of the left brachiocephalic venous trunk following the observation of a unilateral distension of the left superior jugular vein secondary to compression of the homolateral innominate vein during a type I dissecting aneurysm of the aorta. The rarity of the finding is the reason for the report of two cases of isolated thrombosis of the venous trunk in question observed almost simultaneously some 19 months earlier. In both cases it was possible to identify the aetiopathogenic causes as congenital or acquired constriction of the "aortosternal strait" associated with thrombophilic alteration to the blood coagulation system.

[Management of a clinical pathology laboratory using a record system on personal computer data base].

Data collection and processing via a Report System Data Base (dBASE III) is a new method recently implemented on Personal or Microcomputer. The major advantage compared to other systems lies in the possibility of working simultaneously with several open files that interact amongst themselves practically in real time. Procedures and programmes can also be created without the need to convert them to machine language. Management of the Clinical Pathology Laboratory via dBASE III is described. The Data Base Record files were specially created. Data on the necessary alteration in mass storage dimensions are supplied on the basis of the number of tests to be carried out. Preliminary information on the possibility of translating currently used statistical equations through the keyboard are also given. The package produced is absolutely interactive and does not require special training. It may therefore be used easily both by the laboratory doctor and personnel responsible for input and reference.

Clinical Laboratory Techniques↗

[Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of diseases of the supra-aortic trunks].

Systematic examination of the upper aortic arch vessels by direct Doppler ultrasonography of the common and internal arteries is proposed, together with calculation of the flow rate, pressure-perfusion index, carotid ratio, and carotid distensibility index on a systematic basis. Obligatory compression movements to evaluate the several supplementary pathways in the case of disease are also recommended to complete the examination.

[Doppler ultrasonic arteriography with colorimetric morpho-function analysis of frequency (Echoflow). Preliminary trials].

Doppler arteriography with chromatic frequency analysis is a new and very sound diagnostic method in cases of vascular disease. It can be carried out with apparatus such as the Echoflow (reg'd), a natural development of the Doppler technique ultrasonography. Vessels are shown in red, yellow, or blue, depending on the rate of their intraluminal flow. Surface arteries lying 5-6 cm below the skin and not hidden by bone can be studied. Preliminary results on 23 supra-aortic trunks, 21 lower extremity arterial systems, and 5 upper limb systems are described. The use of the instrument in other situations in also recommended.
