Preemptive analgesia in hip arthroscopy: intra-articular bupivacaine does not improve pain control after preoperative peri-acetabular blockade.

Introduction: Literature addressing postoperative pain management after hip arthroscopy is relatively scarce. This study aimed to assess if there was added analgesic benefit associated with postoperative intra-articular bupivacaine blockade for patients who received preoperative peri-acetabular blockade for hip arthroscopy procedures.

Methods: 52 patients were included in this comparative cohort study.

[Contribution to the etiologic diagnosis of hypertrichosis and hirsutism of functional origin in women during active genital life by statistical study of observations (author's transl)].

After a recall of the etiologies of hypertrichosis and hirsutism, a method of diagnosis limited to functional pathological cases, was established. Having 31 complete case reports of functional hirsutism or hypertrichosis in women whose diagnosis--ovarian dystrophy or corticosuprarenal hyperplasia--was confirmed, the authors established a decision procedure based on the confrontation of two criteria obtained with a discriminant analysis program. These criteria included a clinical examination (intensity and localization of pilosity) and the effect of dexamethasone blockade on two plasmatic steroids, i.
