[Mexican households and family networks in the United States: several life histories, one family history]. / Hogares y fratrias mexicanas en Estados Unidos: varias historias de vida, una historia de familia.

PIP: "The authors analyze the Mexican household in the United States, emphasizing its complexity...as well as...its changes over time. The authors seek to understand the composition of relatives within exiled families, their life-cycle evolution, and the interaction of civil and migratory calendars. They also consider household changes related to the migratory process, changes in marriage and birth civil calendars, changes produced by work or marital events, and the type of migratory decisions developed within families."

[Treatment of fractures of the mandibular condyle. Experiences at the Department of Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Surgery at Toulon-La-Seyne/Mer]. / Le traitement des fractures du condyle mandibulaire. L'expérience du Service de Stomatologie et de Chirurgie Maxillo Faciale de Toulon-La-Seyne/Mer.

The fractures of the gnathic condyle are constantly increasing due to the violent impact on the chine. The functional treatment is essential for good results whereas the restitution of a functional joint, i.e. teeth that engage into one another, is satisfactory for the patient as it can also justify a possible surgical reduction in such cases when significant shifts of fragments resulting from the fractures are present.

[Renal scintigraphy under hyperdiuresis in upper urinary tract dilatations]. / La scintigraphie rénale sous-hyperdiurèse dans les dilatations du haut appareil urinaire.

Emphasis is placed on the existence of two types of dilatation of the upper excretory tract: obstructive and non-obstructive lesions. Renal scintigraphy with technetium-labelled DTPA combined with a Lasilix test was performed in 34 patients (26 operated and 8 treated medically) with a total of 41 dilated renal units. Intra-operative exploration in the 17 reno-ureteral units assessed as being the site of obstruction on scintigraphy confirmed the lesion in the 14 cases of anomalies of the pyelo-ureteral junction and the 3 mega-ureters. For as long as the obstructed zone is not resected the dilated urinary tract fails to empty. In the other 12 units, the scintigraphy diagnosis of non-obstructive hypotony was confirmed by the operation and the subsequent course (notably in the 10 cases of reflux in the wide ureters reimplanted with a good result without resection of end of ureter).
