A domestic-like carrot cooking methodology for multiple research applications.

Domestic-oriented research focusing on food requires methodologies that closely mimic practices occurring in home kitchens while meeting scientific standards. Currently however, there is a lack of methodologies that can be implemented in both laboratory and home environments. This paper proposes a method that fulfills the scientific requirements of repeatability and reproducibility, while utilizing commonly available materials and processes found in the average household.

[Costal stapling in severe thoracic traumas (author's transl)].

Thirty-two of 320 patients with severe thoracic trauma were treated with costal stapling. The technique, described by R. Judet in 1973, is basically simple but sometimes difficult to perform.

[Deep selective myocardial hypothermia (author's transl)].

This new method of myocardial protection was used to prevent complications of cardiac ischaemia during clamping of the aorta. 4 litres of Ringer lactate at 4 degrees C are used to perfuse the coronary arteries and produce a total, uniform and deep fall of all the pericardial and myocardial system. This results in a flat electrocardiogram, i.
