A test for ligamentous instability of the knee performed by stabilizing the femur while placing a valgus stress on the knee by abducting the leg. A moderate joint line separation with the knee fully extended indicates a tear of the medial collateral ligament and the posterior capsule. If the test is only positive in 30 degrees of flexion, it represents an isolated medial collateral ligament tear. A marked medial joint line opening in extension is only possible when both cruciate ligaments are also torn. 3, record 1, English, - abduction%20test

Manœuvre destinée à évaluer l'instabilité du genou. Le fémur étant immobilisé, on exerce une tension en valgus sur le genou en forçant la jambe vers l'extérieur. Un écart modéré de l'interligne articulaire, le genou étant en extension, indique une déchirure du ligament latéral interne et de la capsule postéro-interne. Si l'épreuve n’ est positive que lorsque le genou est fléchi à 30°, elle indique la déchirure seule du ligament latéral interne. Une ouverture marquée de l'interligne articulaire, le membre étant en extension, n’ est possible que si les deux ligaments croisés sont également déchirés. 1, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20d%26rsquo%3Babduction

The cold pressor test is a test measuring the tendency to develop essential hypertension. One hand is placed in ice water. An excessive rise in the blood pressure or an unusual delay in the return of normal blood pressure when the hand is removed from the water is believed to indicate that the individual is at risk for hypertension. 3, record 4, English, - cold%20pressor%20test

Prueba empleada para investigar en un paciente su tendencia a la hipertensión arterial. Se determina en uno de los brazos la tensión arterial del individuo en reposo; luego se le hace sumergir la mano y antebrazo del otro miembro en agua fría a 4°C durante un minuto y se determina nuevamente la presión arterial en el primer brazo a los 30 y a los 60 segundos. Una elevación de 15 a 20 mm de Hg indica una hiperreacción y es índice de que el sujeto tiene una predisposición a padecer hipertensión arterial. 2, record 4, Spanish, - prueba%20de%20Hines%2DBrown

Le montage humide convient bien pour le collage de grands formats barytés sur panneaux de bois. L'épreuve qui s’allonge à l'état humide se rétracte lors du séchage et provoque de fortes tensions sur le support qui doit être suffisamment rigide pour ne pas se déformer. En revanche, cette tension du papier assure une surface extrêmement lisse. 1, record 5, French, - montage%20humide
