RESUMO
Intravenous locoregional anesthesia [IVLRA] is simple, efficient, and low cost technic ; it is indicated in a hand and forearm surgery especially in emergency and ambulatory patient. A 500 patients series during 7 years experience is reported. These patients were admitted in our hospital for surgical indications concerning their hand or their forearm. 310 patients were treated by delayed surgery and 190 others treated in emergency. Double tourniquet technique was used and the drug injected was 0.5 percent lidocaine without any adrenaline. Average duration of tourniquet put on was 75 minutes [30-120 minutes]. 15 cases of IVLRA were converted to general anesthesia: 10 for very painful tourniquet and 5 others for surgical act needing more than 120 minutes
RESUMO
A radiological assessment was done for 700 patients with an x-ray of the pelvis, 383 males and 317 females. Phleboliths were detected in 146 patients [the incidence being 21%], 73 males [19%] and 73 females [23%]. Significant correlation between the incidence of phlleboliths and advancing age, body weight and fertility was noted

FlebiteRESUMO
A clinicocardiological assessment of 100 psoriatic patients, 50 males and 50 females, revealed that 13 patients had psoriatic arthritis. Two modes of presentation of psoriatic arthritis were encountered. One mode was entirely radiological without any clinical clue of the presence of arthritis, in ten patients, and one mode was entirely clinical without any radiological findings, in three patients. The male to female ratio was 9:4 and the mean age was 42.8 years, being 46 years for males and 35.5 years for females. The majority of the arthritis patients had severe cutaneous lesions and there was a preponderance of nail lesions in these patients. The psoriatic skin lesion was of the vulgaris-plaque type in eight patients, of the vulgaris-nummular type in two patients and of the erythrodermic type in three patients
