title: [Application of modern methods to clinical autopsy].
abstract: Among the numerous modern methods at the disposal of pathologists, four techniques and their applications are demonstrated: 1. An enzymatic stain for macroscopic diagnosis of early myocardial infarcts. 2. Immuno-histochemistry in juvenile diabetes. 3. Electron microscopy in pulmonary hypertension in relationship with the intake of slimming pills. 4. X-ray micro-analysis in the the diagnosis of asbestosis. These various techniques are of great interest but can only be performed on fresh necropsy specimens taken early after death.
