[Radiologic aspects of infarction of the appendix epiploica].

Clinical, US, CT and MR findings were reviewed in 5 patients with primary epiploic appendagitis (3 men, 2 women, mean age 38 years, age range 29-62 years) seen between December 1994 and December 1997. Diagnosis was reached in all cases with CT, with US in 3 and with MR in 1. Follow-up CT was performed in 2 cases and clinical follow-up in 4.

[Diagnostic imaging of idiopathic segmental infarct of the greater omentum. Diagnostic and physiopathologic considerations].

Primary infarction of the greater omentum is a rare cause of acute abdominal syndrome. Rate of occurrence may nevertheless be underestimated. We report a series of six cases observed over a 30-month period with US and CT imaging.

High-dose methotrexate: a clinical and pharmacokinetic evaluation. Treatment of advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck using a prospective mathematical model and pharmacokinetic surveillance.

Some of 66 patients with head and neck tumors were treated with high-dose methotrexate monochemotherapy. The use of a prospective mathematical model with pharmacokinetic surveillance proved to be reliable, practical, and useful. By this means chemotherapy could be individualized, with a resultant marked reduction in the frequency and severity of toxicity.
