[Postoperative pain trajectories to identify risk of chronic postsurgical pain in living donors for liver transplantation].
To assess pain trajectories in predicting risk of chronic postoperative pain (CPP) after liver resection for living donor transplantation. ⋯ Acute postoperative pain is a risk factor of developing CPP. Identification of those people by pain trajectories can be useful to treat them early.

Case Reports[Cerebral hemorrhage in a mechanically ventilated asthmatic child: multifactorial mechanisms].
We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with acute status asthmaticus requiring mechanic ventilation in the pediatric intensive care unit. He developed a brain hemorrhage during the course of his illness. We discuss the mechanisms that may have precipitated this neurological complication.

Case Reports[Prehospital use of haemostatic dressing QuikClot ACS+™ for hemorrhage control of a perineal trauma].
First responders are sometimes confronted with external uncontrolled haemorrhage despite compression, bandages, and tourniquets. Several topical haemostatic agents were developed to try to face these situations. Their application was mainly described and studied in military environment. We report the case of a worker victim of an accident of construction site with hemorrhagic perineal trauma for whom the use of a haemostatic bandage QuikClot ACS+™ (Z-Medica) seemed to us particularly useful in prehospital setting.
