[Accidental hypothermia. Physiopathology, clinical manifestations and treatment].
The article reviews pathophysiology and clinical problems. During deep hypothermia, criteria for death are obscured. Prehospital treatment should be vigorous resuscitation on broad indications. ⋯ Rewarming should take place in hospital only. Different methods of rewarming are discussed. Probably the best way to treat deeply hypothermic victims is by cardiopulmonary bypass.

Case Reports[Severe hypotension in cesarean section. Aortocaval compression and regional anesthesia].
Three patients due to be operated by caesarean section under regional anaesthesia developed severe hypotension/circulatory collapse. The sympaticus blockade induced by epidural-/spinal anaesthesia aggravates the effect of aortocaval compression present in all pregnant women at term. We discuss prophylactic measures and treatment of hypotension.

[Musculoskeletal diseases. A review of musculoskeletal diseases and environment].
The article discusses the remarkably high prevalence of occupationally induced muscle pain and musculoskeletal diseases. The causes of this group of pain/disorders are complex. The increasing economic consequences, and the problems, call for research on practical prophylaxis. It is emphasized that research on environment and health should include sociopsychological conditions at work.
