Electroencephalographic recordings during parachute jump sessions.

Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings of experienced parachutists were done by means of telemetry before, during, and after jumps of up to 3500m. During free-fall and after stabilization, alpha rhythm was recorded from several alpha reactive subjects when they closed their eyes. No pathological EEG recordings were obtained during the different phases of the jump.

The single-layered, parachuted intussuscepted pancreaticojejunostomy.

The pancreas to jejunal anastamosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy can be a troublesome and difficult procedure. We describe a single-layered intussuscepted end-to-end anastamosis that has been used in both the trauma and elective settings with good results. The technique is easily and quickly performed and allows for uniform placement, tension, and depth of sutures, even in the nonfibrotic pancreas.

[Severe parachuting accident. Analysis of 122 cases].

Based on a population of 122 severely injured patients the causes of paragliding accidents and the patterns of injury are analyzed. A questionnaire is used to establish a sport-specific profile for the paragliding pilot. The lower limbs (55.7%) and the lower parts of the spine (45.9%) are the most frequently injured parts of the body. There is a high risk of multiple injuries after a single accident because of the tremendous axial power. The standard of equipment is good in over 90% of the cases. Insufficient training and failure to take account of geographical and meteorological conditions are the main determinants of accidents sustained by paragliders, most of whom are young. Nevertheless, 80% of our patients want to continue paragliding. Finally some advice is given on how to prevent paragliding accidents and injuries.
