[La] mesure indirecte [de la pression artérielle] va trouver son principe dans l'essor d’une technique d’études du pouls, la sphygmographie qui apparaît au milieu du XIX siècle à la suite des travaux du Français Hérisson, qui en 1834, conçoit un nouvel instrument destiné «à traduire à l'œil toute l'action des artères». Ce «sphygmomètre», simple et ingénieux, a pour principe l'application d’une colonne de mercure sur une artère de l'avant-bras(artère radiale), il est atraumatique.

Avec l’usage, il arrive que le nom de l’inventeur ne soit plus utilisé comme complément de nom, mais soit mis en apposition et se comporte, dès lors, comme un adjectif de relation. On parlera alors de «pince DeBakey» et non plus de «pince de DeBakey». De plus, on trouve de multiples graphies pour le patronyme DeBakey : Debakey; DeBakey; De Bakey.

(ESWL) works in something like a high-tech Ribe Goldberg sequence. The patient, usually anesthetized from the waist down to obliterate the mild discomfort of the shocks, is strapped onto a pallet and lowered into a specially designed tub full of water. X-rays reveal the precise location of the kidney stone on two television monitors. The physician pushes a button, and a spark plug at the bottom of the tank fires, vaporizing some of the water, which then creates a pressure wave. After bouncing off an elliptical brass reflector that is aimed at the patient's kidney stone, the wave passes harmlessly through the patient's tissues but creates a shattering impact when it collides with the hard stone. More than a thousand individual shocks may be required to completely break up a stone, which will wash away in the patient's urine after it disintegrates.
