This category of mistake is derived from a small group of cases most of them of modern times, although the doctrine existed at least as early as 1584. The general rule is that a man is estopped by his deed, and although there is no such estoppel in the case of ordinary signed documents, a party of full age and understanding is normally bound by his signature to a document, whether he reads or understands it or not. If, however, a party has been misled into executing a deed or signing a document essentially different from that which he intended to execute or sign, he can plead non est factum in an action against him. The deed or writing is completely void in whosesoever hands it may come. 1, record 4, English, - plead%20non%20est%20factum

Maedi is the Icelandic word for dyspnoea, and the disease is a type of pneumonia with a very long incubation period-one to three years or even more. Listlessness and loss of condition-often after stress of some kind-are the first symptoms. An early sign is dyspnoea; after physical exertion the breathing becomes very rapid and shallow. Later, breathing becomes difficult even when the animal is at rest, and death often follows. 3, record 17, English, - maedi

La masse des poumons augmente et progresse sans rémission jusqu'à la mort.

Catterall attempted to improve the predictive value of early radiographic changes in Perthes disease by identifying four radiologic signs that indicated a capital femoral epiphysis at risk for collapse. These findings are(1) Gage's sign(a small, osteoporotic segment that forms a transradiant V on the lateral side of the epiphysis) ;(2) calcification lateral to the epiphysis;(3) lateral subluxation of the femoral head; and(4) a transverse epiphyseal line. Murphy and Marsh found that these four head at risk signs and a fifth, diffuse metaphyseal reaction, correlated better with a poor radiologic result than did the degree of epiphyseal involvement.

Signes permettant d'évaluer les risques d'un affaissement du noyau céphalique dans l'ostéochondrite primitive de la hanche, pouvant conduire éventuellement à une coxarthrose. Ces signes, au nombre de cinq, sont : le signe de Gage ou image radiotransparente épiphysaire externe; des calcifications externes ou petites opacités situées à la partie externe de l'épiphyse; une " subluxation " de la tête; une horizontalisation de la physe; une réaction périostée métaphysaire importante.
