Le 6 avril 1962 meurt le professeur Henri Mondor à 76 ans.
Né dans le Cantal, il suit à Paris ses études de médecine. Engagé volontaire en 1914 comme infirmier, il termine la guerre comme médecin aide-major puis, devenu un brillant chirurgien, il exerce dans différents hôpitaux parisiens : @HopitalTenon, @HopSaintLouis, @hopitalbichat, @HotelDieuParis, @HopPitieSalpe…
Secrétaire national de l'Académie nationale de chirurgie, son nom est donné en 1969 au vaste hôpital de Créteil @GHUMondor ainsi qu’à une place près de l’Odéon.
Écrivain et historien de la littérature, il publie de nombreux ouvrages sur des sujets médicaux mais aussi sur le poète Stéphane Mallarmé. Ses multiples talents lui valent d’être à la fois membre de l’Académie des Sciences et de l’Académie Française.
Il vécut au 92 rue Jouffroy à #Paris17.

A great reference for lymph node assessment which helps standardized ultrasound terminology and measurements for lymph nodes. This provides clear guidance on describing size, shape, cortex, hilum, and vascularity.
