[Platelet anti-aggregants in the prevention of disseminated intravascular coagulation in severe burns]. / Gli antiaggreganti piastrinici nella profilassi della C.I.D. nei grandi ustionati.

Two groups of patients with burns involving from 40-70% of the body surface have been examined. One group of 34 patients was not treated with antiaggregating therapy, and one of 28 was treated with platelet antiaggregating therapy from the first day of admission. It was noted that this treatment has a favourable influence on burn shock by means of a mechanism which impedes the onset of D.I.C.

[Correlations between angiography and thermography using liquid crystals on a plate in Raynaud's syndrome]. / Correlazioni tra angiografia e termografia a cristalli liquidi su placca nelle sindromi di Raynaud

The problem of the correlation between angiography (surgical) and thermography using liquid crystals on a plate (non-surgical, easy, low cost, quick and repeatable) is examined on the basis of a small series. Presuming clinical history is adequate and examinations have eliminated typically surgical cases, the results of thermography appear to coincide with angiographic pictures; long-term follow up can, however, only be carried out by means of nonsurgical means such as thermography and photoplethysmography. These pinpoint the improvement and consolidation of therapy, or any worsening which demands diagnostic and therapeutic surgical or parasurgical measures.
