Le DTC [doppler trans-crânien] est une technique de Doppler pulsé qui permet d’enregistrer le flux ou la vitesse des globules rouges dans les gros troncs artériels intracrâniens. L’effet Doppler peut être comparé aux variations de son que l’on entend quand une voiture passe à vive allure devant nous. L’analyse de ces variations de sons (vers l’aiguë quand la voiture s’approche puis vers les graves quand la voiture s’éloigne) peut permettre de retrouver la vitesse du véhicule. Par analogie, l’étude de la différence entre ultrasons émis et les ultrasons reçus par la sonde Doppler permet de mesurer la vitesse des globules rouges. Cet examen permet donc la mesure d’un flux ou vélocité [...] 4, record 8, French, - sonde%20Doppler

Atopic dermatitis. This chronic, eczematous condition of the skin is often associated with a personal or family history of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic eczema. Pruritus is prominent, and the consequent scratching and rubbing lead to lichenification, most typically in the antecubital and popliteal flexural areas. The eczema usually manifests itself after the first few months of life, appearing on the face and extensor areas of the extremities as acute and subacute, red, vesicular and oozing dermatitis. 2, record 17, English, - infantile%20eczema

A femoral-popliteal bypass graft is the favoured treatment for occlusive disease of the superficial femoral artery. Usually, the patient's own long saphenous vein is used for the graft, a technique known as autogenous bypass grafting. Conventionally, the vein is dissected out from the groin to the knee, and its tributaries ligated. The vein is then reversed, so that the valves do not obstruct the blood flow, and joined to the common femoral artery above and the popliteal below. 3, record 19, English, - femoropopliteal%20bypass%20graft
