The discovery of a thoracic kidney a few months after a rupture of the diaphragm repaired as an emergency raises the problem of its congenital or acquired origin. In the latter case, treatment should be adopted?
A review of 81 cases of vascular trauma of the limbs in 75 patients treated at the Grenoble University Hospital from 1967 to 1975 confirms the classical etiological, pathological and clinical findings. Analysis of the results led us to emphasise the necessity of bone and vascular repair which should be complete from the start, verified by peroperative radiological control. The application of now well-established rules to the treatment of vascular trauma should lead to a better prognosis in the case of popliteal lesions (76 p. cent of good results out of 17 revascularisations).

The Gynatron is a remote after loading system for gynecological radioactive applications. It allows the responsible personal to manually load the sources from outside of the patient's room. It's main advantages are: 1 degree A mechanical breakdown is virtually impossible because of the absence of a motorized system. 2 degrees It can be used with all types of applicators and all types of radium substitutes. The system described was used with cesium sources and Fletcher applicators. The radiation protection remains optimal during the treatment of the patient as well during the manipulation of the sources from the fixed to the mobile safe (Gynastock) as when there is a need to change the loading.

In this paper are considered the etiology, the clinical findings and the management of anaesthesia for a certain number of ENT emergencies, situations of respiratory distress which may lead rapidly to death, or be the cause of severe complications, e.g. -haemorrhage (epistaxis or tonsilar haemorrhage, haemorrhage from carcinoma..), -dyspnea of the adult, neonatal dyspnea and dyspnea of infants and children, -foreign bodies, burns and perforations of the esophagus.

The authors report their experience of the treatment of sternitis on a surgical unit. They analyse here 23 case records out of 31 cases of sternitis treated on their unit. Out of these 23, there were 3 deaths (13 p. 100) and 16 cures (69,5 p. 100) with an average follow up of 20 months. The solutions adopted, including extremely wide exposure and, in some cases, removal of infected bone, are justified by the fact that these patients were admitted from other surgical units. The diagnosis was facilitated by the fact this unit includes a clinical bacteriology research unit. The authors make no apologies for using very classical surgical methods and attempt to demonstrate that these extreme cases require radical surgery. Their original contribution consists of the rational use of antibiotics, but the surgical solution is pre-eminent.
