    Summary: This concise and handy book offers practical guidance to orthopedic surgeons and residents willing to master knee arthroscopy techniques in their daily practice. Based on scientific evidence but also mirroring expert know-how and best practices, it equips readers with essential information, tips and tricks to avoid and prevent intraoperative minor and major complications. Clearly and uniformly written, and featuring a wealth of intraoperative pictures, the book guides readers step-by-step through each of the presented arthroscopic procedures--from patient positioning, through meniscal suture approaches and hamstring grafting, to ACL, PCL and MPFL reconstructions. Covering all the basic and practical aspects this book is a must-read for residents and young orthopedic surgeons wanting to gain insights into this surgical technique and valuable tool for practicing orthopedists, sports physicians and physiotherapists with an interest in knee arthroscopy.

    Experiments have been established in order to study the antagonistic effect of cyclophosphamid treatment on the antibiotic activity of gentamicin in vivo. An immunodepressive state in mice (50 % reduction of neutrophil polymorphonuclear) was obtained with a 5 day treatment of cyclophosphamid, at the dose of 15 mg/kg. The mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with 10 LD50 of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Antibiotherapy was applied in 2 ways differing with the dose of gentamicin given twice a day by subcutaneous route (either 2.5 or 25 mg/kg) and with the time at which treatment was started (either at 1 or at 2 h after bacterial challenge). The gentamicin activity decreases in immunosuppressed mice when antibiotic is applied with a low dose (2.5 mg/kg), 1 h after infection challenge. This effect disappears when gentamicin is given with high doses (20 mg/kg) or when antibiotherapy is delayed (2 h after infection challenge). In this case, mortality is important and close to non immunodepressed mice.
