摘要:

The Foster “Froster” unit is a new and simplified liquid nitrogen system for use in dermatologic cryosurgery. The details of its operation are described and its use in various benign, premalignant, and malignant lesions is discussed. In malignant lesions, not only type, but frequently location, is important when deciding whether to use cryosurgery as the first, alternate, or adjunctive choice of therapy. Benign and premalignant lesions which respond best are sebaceous hyperplasias, dermatofibromas, actinic keratoses, leukoplakias, lentigines, and certain seborrheic keratoses and verrucae. Initial promising results have been reported in cases of swimming pool granuloma and chromoblastomycosis. Application of the described technics in one's clinical practice must depend primarily on the level of knowledge of skin lesions and on the degree of skill attained in cryosurgical methods.

摘要:

Records of all patients admitted to inpatient facilities of a state department of mental health from 1948 to 1952 and from 1965 to 1969 and diagnosed schizophrenic were reviewed to determine diagnostic trends, if any. The percentage of diagnoses of the catatonic subtype showed a general decline, the hebephrenic subtype showed a marked decline, the paranoid subtype a general increase, and the nonclassical subtypes a marked increase. Analysis of the symptoms for the subtypes and comparison between subtypes did not reveal any particular symptom to be totally characteristic of a specific subtype. Many symptoms occurred with approximately equal frequency in all subtypes. Comparison of patients' symptoms for the two periods did not reveal wide qualitative variation between periods. However, there were large quantitative variations. We conclude that the apparent change in schizophrenia is but a moderation of primary symptoms.

摘要:

Differential diagnosis of spermatic cord swellings includes indirect inguinal hernia, hydrocele, spermatocele, hematocele, lipoma, tuberculosis, and filariasis. This communication focuses attention on other unusual swellings of the spermatic cord. Three cases of sarcoma, two cases of foreign body in the spermatic cord, and one case of vasitis are presented. Although unusual, these conditions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spermatic cord swellings.

摘要:

The prevention of unsightly scars and functional loss after facial lacerations is accomplished by early, meticulous repair in layers without tension on the suture line. The interrupted subcuticular suture applied with a small full-curved cutting needle and with the aid of a skin hook is recommended to reach the goal of aesthetic and functional restoration.

摘要:

Serum chemistry test results were correlated with discharge diagnoses of 4,295 persons admitted to an acute care general hospital in a seven-month period. The diagnostic value of the test results, separately and in combinations of up to 12 tests, were calculated at each of ten levels as measured from the mean of normal in standard deviations. All patients had a serum profile consisting of total calcium, inorganic phosphorus, glucose, urea nitrogen, uric acid, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase, and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase levels. Analysis by manual and computer technics is illustrated. Computerized analysis of a chemistry profile is reported as a list of diagnostic possibilities in ranking order, with the calculated probability for each, in this preliminary report individual diseases are replaced by categories of disease taken from The International Classification of Diseases, Adapted (ICDA).

摘要:

Over a 22-month period, the fluorescent antibody (FA) technic was used to evaluate 195 patients with urinary tract infections (UTI) during pregnancy. Postpartum intravenous pyelograms (IVP) were obtained for 86 patients. The results were correlated as to the site (upper or lower urinary tract) of infection. Regardless of the result of the FA test, results of IVP were abnormal in 40% to 41% of patients with antenatal pyelonephritis. This was in contrast to only 9.4% abnormalities in patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria and negative FA tests.
