Early signs of haemorrhages develop in the childhood, nose bleeding being predominant. Recurrent nose bleeding was observed in 130 (89.0%) patients with thrombocytopathies, 37 patients with nasal pathologies, 13 out of 14 children having willebrand's disease, 3 patients suffering from Rendu-Osler disease, in a boy with a factor XIII deficiency, and in a girl with psoriasis. In the case of haemorrhagic diathesis, nose bleeding was, as a rule, combined with haemorrhages of other types (skin, gum, uterine, etc.) whereas in the case of ENT pathology, nose bleeding was the only haemorrhagic symptom. Medical examinations of patients suffering from recurrent nasal haemorrhages at the prehospital stage should include: study of the history case, ENT-doctor examination, and blood analysis using standard tests (micro-coagulation, prothrombin, hemolysate-aggregation). The battery of blood tests can be performed without costly equipment or reagents. It became routine in the work of a regular polyclinical laboratory and helped identify the causes of nose hemorrhages in 94.6% children.

The PubMed database contains about eighty scientific papers on crenobalneotherapy (i.e., medical balneology or spa therapy) published in the last three years, mostly in journals with an impact factor. These studies focus on the actions of thermomineral products (waters, muds, gases, steam) on biological systems (immune system, antioxidant system, cytokine networks, nociception, etc.). Hot mineral waters can have an action on the circulatory system. Ingested mineral water can act on carbohydrate, lipid and mineral metabolism. Dermocosmetologic mineral products have shown real benefits. Medical benefits of thermal treatment have been observed in patients with rheumatic conditions, psoriasis, venous insufficiency, ENT conditions, gynecolgical disorders, and anxiety. Unfortunately, many publications in this area suffer from methodological flaws. Clinical investigations of thermal medicine encounter dificulties of a methodological and financial nature, and problems of patient recruitment. The aim of the French thermal research institute is to provide support and advice for teams wishing to conduct well-designed controlled trials.
