[Prevention of venous thrombosis in surgery. Very brief advice].
Avoid immobilization before and immediately after the operation : do not rely simply on raising of the legs but ensure that the patient walks as soon as po-sible. Apply elastic support bandages to the lower limbs before, during, and after the operation. Limit the duration of the operation and of the general anaesthesia. Reduce trauma of the vessels to a minimum during the operation. Give aspirin before and after the operation : 3 X 0,50 g.
[Aspirin as treatment for platelet aggregation].
The efficacity of therapy against platelet aggregation, as a preventive treatment in cases of venous thrombosis has been questioned : however, some good, little known pieces of work suggest that such treatment is of value.
[Subcutaneous calcifications. A case of Thibierge-Weissenbach syndrome].
When faced with subcutaneous calcifications the possibility of the Thibierge-Weissenbach syndrome, either in its initial stages or already evolutive, may be forgotten. In one typical case that was followed for 20 years, the calcifications had taken second place to the scleroderma and circulatory disorders that had rapidly dominated the picture : Raynaud's phenomenon, arteritis of the extremities with extremely acute pain that was lessened only by sympathetic infiltrations or intra-arterial injections.

[An error too widely spread among the public, even among medical personnel: the risk of hypercoagulation caused by sclerosing solutions].
In Raynaud's syndrome surgery may have a place at the costo-clavicular level, in the thoracic sympathetic chain, in the carpal tunnel, and in necrotic lesions of the fingers. In the majority of cases sympathetic denervation of the forearm is required. Some typical cases are briefly presented. In 16 operations the author achieved a favourable result in 13 cases, with failures.
[More or less unrecognized indicative phlebitis, as for example, that caused by aphthosis].
