Abduction Arthro-Fluoroscopy in Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder.

This technical note describes a method of diagnosing adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder based on the real-time study of abduction movement under fluoroscopy control after opacification of the joint cavity with contrast media. This movement passively or actively shows a limitation of the abduction, a scapulohumeral block, or a weak or even an absence of rolling of the humeral head in the glenoid cavity, transforming the abduction into a shoulder elevation.

Application of the Canadian C-Spine rule and nexus low criteria and results of cervical spine radiography in emergency condition.

Introduction: The Canadian C Spine Rule (CCR) and the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study (Nexus) low criteria are well accepted as guide to help physician in case of cervical blunt trauma.

Methods: We aimed to evaluate retrospectively the application of these recommendations in our emergency department. Secondly we analyzed the quality of cervical spine radiography (CSR) in an emergency setting.

Hypoxemia after pneumothorax exsufflation: a case report.

We describe a 36-year-old patient who was admitted to the emergency ward for acute dyspnea due to a spontaneous pneumothorax. He was successfully drained but shortly after presented a severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary oedema secondary to pulmonary re-expansion. The physiopathology behind this complication is still unknown.

Evaluation of the stimulating effect of a low dose of secretin compared to the standard dose on the exocrine pancreas with MRCP: preliminary results in normal subjects (MRCP quantification of secretin stimulation).

Background: Secretin administration during MRCP improves depiction of pancreatic ducts and allows assessment of pancreatic exocrine secretions. However, secretin increases the cost of secretin-enhanced MRCP (S-MRCP). The aim of this study was to quantify using MRCP the stimulating effect of 0.
