[Coronary lesions in myocardial infarction].

The authors analyse the coronary lesions in 285 patients with primary myocardial infarction (164 anterior, 121 inferior infarcts) undergoing coronary angiography an average of 4 months after infarction. The statistical study of the analytical table of the lesions according to severity and site, demonstrated a significant difference in each group (p less than 0,001): --there was a very clear dominance of occlusion of the LAD artery in anterior infarction but severe narrowing (greater than or equal to 70%) was observed mainly on the right coronary and left circumflex arteries; --in inferior infarction, the incidence of occlusion was higher on the right coronary artery and severe narrowing was divided between the LAD and left circumflex arteries. Controlateral, double or triple vessel disease was present in 74% of anterior and 85% of inferior infarcts.

[Comparative study about the analgesic effect of buprenorphine (author's transl)].

In that study we compared the analgesic effects of equianalgesic doses of buprenorphine and morphine taken as the narcotic of reference. The experiment has been undertaken in ten adults having severe cancer pain. The results have been analysed by statistical non parametric tests.
