[Proposals for a new partial permanent incapacity rate for aphakia]. / Propositions pour de nouveaux taux d'incapacité permanente partielle dans l'aphakie.

Thanks to modern methods of correction in aphakia, (precornea lenses, and intra-ocular implants), the patient is less and less concerned by the major inconveniences linked to aphakia. It is, therefore, desirable to fix, in common law, the rate of partial permanent incapacity, according to whether the aphakic patient is well or poorly compensated by a prothesis. The residual global incapacity rate, would be the sum of the two following figures: 1 - A basic disability figure, of five to eight per cent taking into account the discomfort brought by the accessory consequences of the aphakic condition (photophobia, dyschromatopsy, post-operative astigmatism, exophory). 2 - A figure varying from the simple to double, based not upon the degree of visual acuity obtained after correction, but on the loss of visual acuity in comparison with the previous condition. This figure would be one per cent of incapacity, if aphakia is functional corrected, and two per cent in the contrary case.

[Cannabis and myocardial infarction without angiographic stenosis in young patient: guilty or not guilty? A case report]. / Cannabis et infarctus du myocarde du sujet jeune : association fortuite ? À propos d'une observation.

Cannabis is the most consumed drug in France, particularly in young adults. Few reports have suggested a causal role of cannabis in the development of cardiovascular events. We describe one case of 26-year-old man, cannabis and tobacco smoker, admitted with recurrent ischemic stroke cause by post-myocardial infarction left ventricular thrombus. Coronary arteries were angiographicaly normal and etiological tests were negative. We suggest the possible relationship between marijuana use with coronary heart disease.
