SummaryStatus asthmaticus is a dramatic, but highly reversible situation. It often occurs in still young patients and may induce death by respiratory failure and cirulatory collapse.Precipitating factors, clinical manifestations and treatment are reviewed.Besides antibiotics, bronchodilators and corticoids, the authors insist on the value of resuscitation measures : bronchial drainage, correction of acidosis and most of all artificial ventilation after endotracheal intubation.Early and attentive resuscitation measures can save the life of almost any patient suffering from status asthmaticus.

摘要:

SummaryAfter reviewing the recent data concerning lipids transport, the authors present the clinical record of a 32 year old man, from a rural community, who shows a mixed disturbance characterized by hypercholesterolaemia and hyper-alphalipoproteinaemia, with xanthomatous tuberi, xanthelasmas, lipid granulomas and cutaneous lipomas from birth. Multiple visceral lesions appeared later in life : heart failure, lung infarct, hepatomegaly persisting after cure of cardiac failure (liver steatosis without cholesterol). Genetic studies demonstrate the familial character of the disease and explain the complexity of the metabolic disturbances, one of the parents having transmitted hyperlipaemia and the other one hypercholesterolaemia.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors report a case of multiple myeloma where acute renal failure was the first manifestation of the disease, and followed an acute infectious episode with dehydration, in a 55 year old man.The patient recovered from this renal episode by the application of a complex therapy, including haemixlialysis. The main interest of this case is the lack of symptoms suggesting the original disease prior as well as after the remission of uraemia; renal function recovered.It is stressed that acute renal failure occurring in multiple myeloma is usually a fatal complication but this prognosis may be modified by appropriate therapy.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors describe the normal anatomy of splanchnic arteries and of anastomoses between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery, as well as between superior and inferior mesenteric arteries.Blood flow may be diverted into one of these dilated anastomoses, possibly in the direction opposed to ordinary flow when resistance is increased in one of the main arteries (stenosis or thrombosis).Although increased collateral circulation may lead to suspect stenosis, these patients do generally not complain of abdominal pain, contrasting with patients with arterial stenosis hut without collateral circulation.Eight cases of stenosis of splanchnic vessels are documented.
