    Notes: This study had several purposes: to define cytomorphological features of thyroid cells that might be modified by alcohol fixation; to optimize May-Grünwald–Giemsa (MGG) staining on ThinPrep® (TP; Cytyc Inc., Bexborough, MA, USA) slides and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of slides prepared by a liquid-based method with those obtained by conventional technique. This study included 120 cases of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid and 55 FNAs performed on surgically resected thyroid specimens. Histological control was available in 80 cases. In the first group of 120 FNAs, a split-sample technique was used for the TP. Three screenings were performed: first, an individual screening of the conventional smears (CS) and of the TP, a second screening to compare cells observed on the TP with the histological control and a third screening to assess the previously defined diagnostic criteria. Twenty-seven TP cases (22%) were considered unsatisfactory for diagnosis compared with 10 in CS (8%). The high rate of unsatisfactory cases with TP is likely to be due to the use of the split-sample technique. The sensitivity was 94% for CS and 81% for TP. The specificity was 67% and 60% for CS and TP, respectively. Two occult papillary carcinomas were missed by both methods. As for the MGG staining, the modified technique used for TP resulted in the same quality as the standard procedure. Conversely, TP did however induce uncommon morphological features. In this study, sensitivity and specificity levels are higher for CS than for TP; the difference may be explained by the fact that the methanol fixative used for TP induces some cytological alterations, especially in oncocytic tumours and lymphocytic thyroïditis.

    Notes: A new approach for the management of frozen shoulder associated with reflex sympathetic dystrophy is presented. A suprascapular nerve block was performed by needle insertion behind the lateral end of the clavicle at its junction with the insertion of the trapezius muscle; the needle was directed downwards and backwards. The suprascapular nerve was identified by its response to nerve stimulation. Three ml of 0.25% bupivacaine with 1:200 000 adrenaline was injected. The block was repeated twice weekly for a total of 2–4 treatments. Evaluation of the efficacy of the block was achieved by comparing subjective pain scores and passive range of movement before the first block and after the final one. Highly significant improvements were obtained. The choice of blockade of the suprascapular nerve is a new concept for the management of the frozen shoulder of reflex sympathetic dystrophy. This is based on the fact that the nerve contains a high proportion of sympathetic fibres supplying the shoulder joint. The new approach proved to be simple, highly successful, and reproducible.

    Notes: A local analgesic block of the posterior tibial nerve, using a new subcalcaneal approach, is described. The point of insertion of the needle is defined in relation to a bony prominence below the medial malleolus, the sustentaculum tali, to which the posterior tibial nerve bears a constant relationship. Twenty patients given a posterior tibial block using the subcalcaneal approach were compared with 20 patients in whom a traditional retrotibial approach was used. In this technique the major landmark for needle insertion is the posterior tibial artery. In all patients the techniques formed part of an ankle block for foot surgery. Eighty-five to 90% of patients had peripheral vascular disease and in 60–65% the posterior tibial artery was not palpable. In the group of patients without palpable pulses, the subcalcaneal approach had a success rate of 100%, whereas all those having the retrotibial approach required additional local analgesic supplements (p 〈 0.001). The subcalcaneal approach is simple and is particularly recommended for patients with peripheral vascular disease.

    Notes: Abstract The authors demonstrate by anatomical dissection that inaccuracies made by classical anatomists have worried plastic surgeons for many years. They demonstrate that continuity between the parotid fascia and the fibrous platysma has not been recognized. In addition, anatomists in the past have not been aware that the platysma is a unique type of fasciomuscular layer because in contrast to conventional anatomical opinions, the platysma has no bony attachment to the mandible.

    Notes: The effect of antioxidant concentration in mineral oil on polychloroprene rubber vulcanizate, based on different types of carbon black, has been studied. This study shows that, with the increase of antioxidant, the percentage volume swelling of the rubber increases, the hardness of the rubber decreases, and the embrittlement time is prolonged. The properties achieved are important for oil seal manufacturers.
