Record 4 2003-06-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Management Theory
CONT

[Organizational Fluidity : MBWA. ] The intensity of communications is unmistakable in the excellent companies. It usually starts with an insistence on informality.... Getting management out of the office is another contributor to informal exchanges. At United Airlines, Ed Carlson labeled it "Visible Management" and "MBWA-Management By Walking About". HP [Hewlet-Packard] treats MBWA("Management By Wandering Around" in this instance) as a major tenet of the all-important "HP Way".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Théories de la gestion
DEF

Mode de gestion qui consiste pour les gestionnaires, à se rendre sur place pour gérer les opérations.

CONT

La fluidité de l'organisation : le management baladeur. [...] Faire sortir la direction de son bureau contribue aussi aux échanges informels. A United Airlines, Ed Carlson l'a appelé le «management visible», ou le «management promeneur». Hewlett-Packard considère aussi ce «management baladeur» comme un principe clé du «style HP».

Record 7 2000-05-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

A click felt when the thigh is abducted in flexion, in congenital dislocation of the hip. It results from the sliding of the femoral head over the acetabular rim.

OBS

A click can also be felt when the head slips out of the acetabulum on the opposite maneuver.

OBS

In Ortolani's maneuver, as the [femoral] head slips [out of the acetabulum]..., an unmistakable "click of exit" is felt. If the pressure in the line of the femur is then relieved and the hip is abducted, the head slips back into the acetabulum, and another click, "the click of entry", is felt.

OBS

The term "Ortolani’s sign" was recommended by the Medical Signs and Symptoms Committee.

Key term(s)
  • Ortolani click

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
CONT

L'examen clinique du nouveau-né apporte certains arguments en faveur d'une affection de la hanche. Le critère le plus fiable est le «signe du ressaut», palpable et parfois audible et visible. Tenant fermement les cuisses, le genou et la hanche fléchis à 90°, le ressaut de dehors en dedans (d'entrée) indique une hanche luxée qui se réduit tandis que le ressaut de dedans en dehors (de sortie) montre une hanche luxable.

OBS

Le terme «signe d'Ortolani» a été privilégié par le Comité de sémiologie médicale.
