[A Morgagni-Larrey hernia. A case report].

The paper reports a case of Morgagni-Larrey hernia observed by the authors. The etiopathogenesis is described and the importance of surgery is underlined even in asymptomatic cases in order to ensure a benign postoperative outcome.

Pacemaker registration electronic-card. A proposal for a computerised system of storing of the pacemaker registration card.

This paper describes an example of a computerised system dedicated to store an Emergency Health Card into a compact and portable memory support such as the CMOS RAM CARD. Details are given from the system used and of the program developed for this task. In particular, patient, pacemaker and lead data are stored by the prototype system. The acquisition layout is similar to that of the European pacemaker registration card but some other sections are added. The possibilities of an introduction of a card system like this on E.E.C. countries is discussed.

Implant effects on polyurethane and silicone cardiac pacing leads in humans: insulation measurements and SEM observations.

Recently, polyurethane cardiac pacing leads have been under discussion because of some failures, probably due to modification of surface insulating properties. In order to verify the reliability of polyurethane versus silicone rubber as coating material, the authors, starting from previous clinical research, have carried out a study of electrical insulation related to implant time. At the same time the outer and inner lead surfaces have been submitted to scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The results show, for the polyurethane leads, a significant increase in the leakage or currents in explanted samples, and a significant degradation (cracking) of the outer surfaces.
