All sections of the Congress will be housed at the Sorbonne, except the Exhibition, which will be held at the Palais des Congrès in the southwestern district of Paris. The opening day is on Sunday, July 26th, but the official opening by the President of the Republic will not take place until the following day, when the work of the various sections will also begin. The Congress will terminate its official activities on Friday, July 31st.

摘要:

Robinson1recently published the results obtained at the West Middlesex Hospital, where he treated a large number of pneumonia patients with diathermy.The results obtained at St. Bartholomew's Hospital were in keeping with Robinson's published results. From a study of the temperature, pulse and respiration charts, and the leucocyte count curves, there was no evidence of a specific response to diathermy.Of course, in a certain number of cases, the temperature fell following the treatment, as was only to be expected in a disease with such a short and uncertain duration. In many cases, however, the general level of the temperature, pulse and respirations was unchanged during the time reckoned from the first treatment to the beginning of crisis or lysis. The complication of empyema often occurred in spite of diathermy treatment, even if it was continued after the crisis. No definite evidence is as yet available to show a definite decrease in the mortality from the disease.Why, then, treat patients suffering from pneumonia with diathermy at all? The answer to this is that there is one fairly constant response to diathermy, and that is, the relief of pain. Unfortunately the degree and duration of this relief is very variable. Sometimes it is complete and lasting, at others partial and transient.

摘要:

Of the benign neoplasms found in the alimentary tract, those of the colon and rectum appear to be fairly common, while those of the stomach are much less frequent. In the duodenum and small intestine, however, they may be justly described as rare.The case to be described, namely, a papilloma at the commencement of the jejunum, is in fact so rare as to be almost unknown.Balfour and Henderson have traced 131 cases of benign tumours of the duodenum, of which 4 were papillomata, while Ross Golden has found in the literature only 17 papillomata in this region, two of which are included in Balfour and Henderson's cases. Quite recently, two similar cases have been reported by Bookman and Walters respectively, making a total of 21 in all. Golden's collected cases include the record of a case observed by Cruveilhier in 1835, of a papillomatous adenoma of the duodenum. The exact anatomical relations, however, were not clearly defined, and the former came to the conclusion that its origin was “distal rather than proximal to the duodeno-jejunal junction.”

摘要:

The first case of Progressive Myositis Ossificans was reported in 1692 by Patin.1Since then 149 cases have been recorded.Rosenstirn2in a comprehensive paper, in which he analysed the first 115 cases recorded, states that the characteristic features of this disease are:—(1) Ossification of muscles without any apparent cause;(2) The manifestation of the disease as a congenital one or appearing in early life;(3) The progressive course of the malady embracing in advanced cases nearly the whole of the voluntary muscular system;(4) The association with symptoms of defective anatomical and physiological formation, mostly of the fingers and toes, but not infrequently also of stature, habitus and sex differentiation.

摘要:

(1) The active surface of the tube remains cold provided the current is not allowed to exceed 10 mA.(2) If the current through the tube is maintained at 10 mA., the ultraviolet emission reaches a steady value within about ten minutes after starting the discharge. The emission then remains constant, provided the energy supply does not vary.(3) The rate of increase of ultra-violet emission with current increases rapidly at about 5 mA. Beyond about 6 mA. the relation between current and intensity is approximately linear.(4) The ultra-violet spectrum of the Scheidt tube resembles that of the quartz mercury arc. The strongest band in its spectrum appears at 254μμ, and coincides very nearly with the second erythema maximum found by Hausser.(5) The ultra-violet emission is much weaker than that from the mercury arc, but is relatively richer in radiation of short wave-length below about 265μμ. A strong bactericidal action would be expected owing to the predominance of radiations of short wave-length.(6) Although the intensity of the radiation from the Scheidt tube is small compared with that from the mercury arc, it may nevertheless be sufficiently great for treatment if the tube is placed close to, or in contact with, the skin; a procedure which is possible with the Scheidt tube since it remains cold when in operation.It gives us much pleasure to record our thanks to Messrs. Watson&Sons (Electro-Medical) Ltd., for drawing our attention to this instrument, and for lending us a tube with which to carry out our investigation.

摘要:

Prof. F. L. Hopwood said that it was an important point in this work that one could get an ultra-violet tube which was cold. One disadvantage from the point of view of ordinary use was that it required 4,000 volts for its operation.

摘要:

I Feel that it is not necessary to emphasise the fact that the Multix self-protected X-ray tube with twin focus, although only available in this country some five months, is by no means a new invention.One particular feature of the tube, the incorporation of two filaments producing different size focal spots, was designed, I believe, some six to seven years ago, and no doubt many of you here may have seen the tube in use at various Continental centres.Originally, the additional self-protection feature, the outcome of experiments dating back several years, consisted of a metal screen of special design built inside the tube in order to absorb secondary radiation. Several improvements were made from time to time as the demand arose for increased outputs, and in order to meet these new conditions the manufacturers undertook the building of a tube of greatly decreased diameter, having the electrode screening, together with a metal covering over the whole part of the tube in which the rays are generated.
