[Modern imaging in radioanatomic study of the shoulder].

The authors describe the most appropriate imaging technique or techniques for assessment of each anatomical structure in the shoulder: the head of the humerus, socket, acromion, joint space, labrum, musculotendinous structures of the supraspinatus, subscapularis and long biceps muscles. The techniques used are the most useful view of standard X-rays, as well as arthropathy, CT scan, arthroscan, ultrasonography and MRI. This is a preliminary study to assessment of shoulder lesions. In the shoulder, radiologists are frequently required to identify the anatomical disorder as exactly as possible without falling into the traps associated with all forms of imaging even the most sophisticated.

Diagnostic Imaging

Thphenidate.

Plasma cyclic-AMP responses to adrenergic agonists are due to stimulation of the peripheral beta-adrenergic receptor. Mood responses to stimulants are thought to be due to actions leading to stimulation of central catecholamine receptors. To determine if a peripheral measure of receptor sensitivity could predict central mood effects of stimulants, the plasma cyclic-AMP response and the mood response to intravenous methylphenidate were determined simultaneously in 13 subjects. No correlation between the two responses was found.

[Pleural thymoma. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].

The authors report a case of pleural tumor discovered in case of thoracic pain in a 72 year old woman. This lesion, discovered on chest X-Ray, developed in the left costo-vertebral groove and was seen as a homogeneous opacity, multilobate, well-defined. CT confirmed the pleural origin, showed a thickening of posterior pleural, a polylobate tumor well-defined on its lung side, non-invasive and of tissue density. Histopathological examination of the operative specimen showed it to be a thymoma with an exceptional localization.
