Ferrum metabolism after permanence at extreme altitude on Mount Everest.

High altitude has always intrigued physiologists because of the remarkable ability of man to adapt to the hostile environment. Despite numerous studies examining the physiological alterations occurring during exercise after exposure to hypoxia and the adaptative effects of sustained residence at altitude, several issues remain unresolved. The aim of investigation of the Spanish Medical Research Expedition to Mount Everest in 1992 was an extensive study on the physiological adaptations to the hypobaric environment at extreme altitude. We are presenting advance results the gasometry, acid-base parameters and ferrum metabolism.

[Endovesical antireflux plastic surgery. Original technique].

The authors present a technique of endovesical transposition of the urethra with orthotopic reimplantation of latter. This very effective technique is simple. In addition, it allows secondary catheterization and reduces post-operative complications.

Epidural neurostimulation in the treatment of frostbite.

Epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and conventional treatment produced good therapeutic effects in four young patients with frostbite of the lower limbs. The mechanism of action is unknown but the treatment resulted in rapid recovery with reduced pain and a more peripheral level of amputation. These preliminary results warrant further studies of SCS in the treatment of frostbite.
