摘要:

A review of both past and present psychiatric literature reveals that the concept of hypochondriasis is inexact and confusing. In an attempt to make hypochondriasis a meaningful and useful concept for practicing clinicians, a functional classification is presented that views hypochondriasis from four aspects—(1) as a “warning signal,” (2) as a symptom of psychosis, (3) as a symptom of depressive illness, and (4) as a syndrome labelled “true hypochondriasis.” Each of these aspects is discussed, with emphasis placed on specific and practical recommendations for treatment.

摘要:

Thirty-two cases of gonococcal arthritis in pregnant women admitted to Jackson Memorial Hospital between 1962 and 1971 are reviewed. Our specific aim is to reinforce awareness of this serious complication in pregnancy. The incidence of gonococcal arthritis is higher in women, but more significantly, it appears that the pregnant patient is at greater risk. The incidence of skin lesions seems to be higher in pregnancy. Penicillin was universally effective, since penicillin-resistant strains appear not to involve joints.

摘要:

Eighty-seven children with histologically confirmed brain tumors were reviewed. Fifty-nine of the tumors were in the posterior fossa, 19 were cerebral gliomas, and nine were miscellaneous supratentorial tumors, including five craniopharyngiomas and two papillomas of the choroid plexus. In the posterior fossa there were 22 astrocytomas, 11 medulloblastomas, and ten ependymomas, indicating that half of the cerebellar tumors are benign. Of the patients with cerebellar astrocytomas, 15 are alive and 10 are probably cured. The cerebellar ependymomas have a very poor prognosis with only one long-term survivor and an average survival time of 14 months. The medulloblastoma group has only four survivors, and some of these are less than two years postoperative. Of 11 patients having cerebral astrocytoma, only three are leading satisfactory lives, three are dead, and five are handicapped to a significant degree. Of the eight patients with supratentorial ependymoma, all are dead with the longest survival being six years. It is emphasized that a benign cerebellar astrocytoma is the single most likely tumor in childhood, and many of these patients can be cured and survive without significant neurologic deficit.

摘要:

Ten patients with tuberculosis of the wrist are reported. In three, the disease was limited to the tenosynovium and these patients were treated by synovectomy. Seven patients had disease involving the carpal bones. In six of these an arthrodesis of the wrist was done, and solid fusion was attained in four. In all of the patients the wrist disease became inactive under treatment with isoniazid and para-aminosalicylic acid.

摘要:

Two cases of leiomyoblastoma of the stomach are reported. Endoscopic features, ie, submucosal mass with umbilication and apical ulceration, presence of normal peristalsis, and absence of stenosis or irregularity, help differentiate this tumor from carcinoma of the stomach. Case histories are presented and pathologic features are described.

摘要:

A successful program for reaching long-term care to students of the Medical College of Georgia is described. Five years of experience have proved its importance in medical education. Such a program could be instituted in community hospitals or in other medical colleges. Improvement in the quality of long-term care is a most pressing need today, and the education of those who will give that care is essential.

摘要:

The need for a widely accepted, accurate, and reproducible standard of classification for male pattern baldness has increased with the advent and increasing popularity of hair transplant surgery. This report establishes such a classification, and reports its use in determining the incidence of male pattern baldness at various ages in 1,000 white adult male subjects. The action of testosterone as an incitant in male pattern baldness is well known, but this study points out the continued effect of time, even in later years. Since most hair transplant surgery is performed on subjects with male pattern baldness, and because the success of hair transplant surgery is largely dependent on proper patient selection, a complete understanding of male pattern baldness is essential for consistently good results with hair transplantation.

摘要:

Intravenous hyperalimentation has gained great acceptance in the management of complex medical and surgical problems. This paper presents two cases of fistula developing in patients treated with irradiation and who had total cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion for carcinoma of the urinary bladder. The fistulas closed completely after two to four weeks of hyperalimentation. Neither patient required operation. Parenteral nutrition can be of value in the management of various difficult urologic problems.
