AbstractAbstract
[en] A 30-year-old man was admitted for removal of a Silastic rod inserted four months earlier after a traumatic laceration of the flexor tendon of his left fifth finger. Otherwise he was asymptomatic and specifically denied any symptoms referable to the chest (and heart). He was a nonsmoker and had a normal history of development in childhood. The trachea was shifted to the left. The left hemithorax was dull to percussion. Expansion of the chest and vocal and tactile fremitus were reduced over the left hemithorax, and breath sounds also were decreased on the left side. The results of the remainder of the physical examination were completely normal. The roentgenograms of the chest demonstrate almost total opacification of the left hemithorax with narrowing of the intercostal spaces on the left, elevation of the left diaphragmatic leaflet, and marked shift of the mediastinal structures and trachea into the left hemithorax. Tomographic studies of the chest showed absence of the normal carina with no demonstrable bronchus to the left lung. Radionuclide ventilation/perfusion scans were performed. Complete (total) unilateral agenesis of the left lung is an uncommon congenital anomaly usually associated with cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and/or vertebral abnormalities

AbstractAbstract
[en] Narcoleptic features developed in a young man with CNS sarcoidosis. This was associated with a structural lesion in the hypothalamus as demonstrated on CT scans of the head. The diagnosis of narcolepsy was established by compatible clinical history and the Multiple Sleep Latency Test. Treatment with high-dose corticosteroids was ineffective, but when the low-dose, whole-brain irradiation was added, complete resolution of the narcoleptic features ensued

AbstractAbstract
[en] We present clinical and laboratory results (including nuclear imaging) obtained over a period of two years in two nonsmoking miners who were exposed to high concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) after a mine explosion. Within 3 wk of the accident, both miners had evidence of severe airways obstruction, hypoxemia, markedly reduced exercise tolerance, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and evidence of active inflammation as documented by positive gallium lung scan. Serial ventilation-perfusion scans over the first 12 months showed progressive improvement without returning to normal. After the initial recovery, there has been no significant change over the subsequent two years postinjury. Pulmonary function and exercise tests also displayed a similar pattern of initial improvement. We conclude that (1) acute exposure to high concentrations of SO2 results in severe airways obstruction, (2) pulmonary function abnormalities are partially reversible, and (3) most of the improvement occurs within 12 months after the initial injury

AbstractAbstract
[en] This document gathers several study reports in the field of fundamental research. The first part contains studies which more particularly addressed nuclear physics: study of fission and fission products by fission product distribution measurement and nuclear spectroscopy, study of light nuclei by fast neutrons, study of the neutron electric dipolar moment). The second part concerns condensed matter physics: defects and effects of radiations in solids (pure metals, alloys, semiconductors, ionic crystals, molecular crystals or ferro-electric crystals with hydrogen bond), magnetism (study of magnetic properties of different materials such as transition element compounds and alloys, rare earth compounds and alloys, and actinides; studies of other magnetism-related issues: two-dimensional magnetic order, magnetic wall structure, critical phenomenon and phase transformation, crystalline field in refractory metals, influence of conduction electrons, free-radicals in solid phase; crystal structure and properties of transition element compounds, alloys and complexes; studies of semiconductor properties and behaviour). The third part deals with physical chemistry and biophysics: studies of steady free radicals, use of free-radical spin markers in biology, stereochemistry and conformation studies, studies of vegetal macromolecules, theoretical chemistry, chemically-induced nuclear polarisation, organic and analytic electrochemistry, studies of organic photochemistry, proton dynamics in the hydrogen bond, studies of molecular movement, studies of polymers. The fourth part concerns biology: protein structure and functions, biological membrane structure and functions, radiobiology, vegetal physiology, medical research. The last chapters address advanced techniques, general services (electronic paramagnetic resonance) and applied research (pollution study: purification kinetics of river water in its torrential regime)
