[Granulomatous histiocytosis in a 70-year-old woman, revealed by prolonged fever ; osseous lesions in the femur and tibia were associated with diabetes insipidus and hypernatremia (author's transl)].

The different patterns of histiocytosis X are usually classified into three forms according to their clinical and pathological expression. One form is acute and disseminated ; the two others are chronic, unifocal or multifocal. Borderline cases and intermediate forms can be seen. For instance, onset can be acute or subacute in chronic disseminated forms, such as Hand-Schüller-Christian disease ; acute or subacute exacerbations may occur during the course of the disease. We report an observation of this type which is remarkable for three reasons. Fever was the initial manifestation and remained apparently isolated for one year. Subsequent osseous involvement was limited to the femur and tibia. Hypernatremia developed as a result of both diabetes insipidus and disrupted thirst control. These unusual features of our case-report led us to review previously published data.

[Vertical discrimination in a pure strain of mice (DBA). I].

With the perspective of developing a model of field dependence in small mammals, 10 DBA mice were tested for their ability to choose between a vertical and 25 degree tilted alley in a tridimensional maze. Results have shown that when alternative strategies are prevented, mice have considerable difficulty in discriminating verticality on the basis of kinesthetic and visual cues.

[Inclination of the visual field and postural deviations induced in CD1 mice. 2].

The effect of conflicting visual and kinesthetic information on body position in the mice has been investigated. Riess et al. (1950) reported that rats posture was different for 10 degrees to the right us. 10 degrees to the left inclination of the visual field. Neither this nor other effects on body position were observed submitting random breed mice to a similar procedure suggesting that a cognitive difference exists between the two species.
