SummaryCerebral hæmorrhage the prognosis of which is commonly severe does not seem to benefit from hæmostutics.Cerebral thrombosis, vasospasm or thrombosis associated with vasospasm do not seem to heal up by acethylcholin. On the contrary heparin and a powerful vaso-dilator, intravenous nicotinic acid, appear to be able to improve, even to cure these vascular accidents, sometimes in a surprising way.Cerebral embolism can sometimes be improved by combined administration of nicotinic acid and of an anticoagulant.In order to confirm these conclusions of personal observation and to settle statistically the early treatment of hemiplegia, Roskam asks for his colleagues’collaboration.

摘要:

SummaryIn the course of this study, authors searched out the pronostical signification of different elements.They came out to following conclusions. First of all, the suppuration of the lung is a very serious illness, which considerateli in its whole, is burden with mortality of about 65 %.If some pronostic should be established, one should state exactly the anatomical form, and should be looking if he is in presence of acollectedordiffusedsuppuration. In the first case, of a well bounded abscess, the pronostic is good, as about 80 % of ill people recover spontaneously.In the second case, it is very bad, as the proportion of death is of 80 %. This being acquired, neither the age (excepted above 70 years) neither the sex, neither the localisation (as far as it should not be plainly cortical) nor the previous state of the lung (excepted preexisting bronchectasis) do not seem to influence the evolution of the illness. The nature of germs founded in the sputum can not serve as a base to establish a pronostic. The hemoptysis seems to be an unfavourable sign, the vomic is without signification.The laboratory findings are of no help, as the sedimentation or the hematologic exams do not bring decisive dates. Only eosinophily seems to be of a favourable pronostic.Establishing a daily graphic of sputum and temperature, it could be possible to follow gradually the evolution of the illness.As long as the expectorated volumes can be put down in a triangle, as the authors call«a triangle of security»which fixes the duration of suppuration, the illness will have many chances to cure. The suppuration which evolves unfavourably does not possess this caracteristic.The authors give a very great practical importance at this dates.

摘要:

SummaryTherapeutical aerosols were used in 58 patients suffering from acute and chronic dyspnea (bronchial asthma, pulmonary emphysema with or without chronic heart failure, chronic asthmatiform bronchitis, silicosis).If treatment is instituted with regularity and under medical control, one can effect improvement often on a very high degree in almost, all subjects treated. Although Aleudrine aerosols alone have yielded valuable results, Aleudrine, Novocaïne and Idrianol given together in aerosols prove to be of special efficacy, chiefly in emphysema. According to the pharmacological action of the three drugs used, release of dyspnea occurs in two ways : all three drugs induce pnoumodilatation and are probably acting synergieally ; further, when chronic circulatory insufficiency is present, improvement induced by such aerosols is also due to rise in cardiac output by both pneumodilatation (which increases the oxygen content of arterial blood) and analeptic action of Idrianol on cardiovascular system.Special mention is due to several characters of the beneficial action of such aerosols in different types of asthma. Case histories of 3 patients are also reported. Dyspnea of silicosis is also relieved by the aerosols used.It is suggested that medicamenteus aerolization may be of interest for helping to prevent silicosis in coal-miners.

摘要:

SummaryThe ratio of stippled cells, observed on dark field after staining by methylen blue, has been found higher in patients with thyreotoxicosis (4.000 to 40.000) per million) than in normal subjects (0 to 3.000) per million). Stippled cells are not produced by direct action of toxic substances. They are probably in relation with an excitation of the erythropoïetic system. They are not identical to the reticulocytes. Perhaps they provide us with a new possibility for the diagnosis of thyreotoxicosis.

摘要:

SummaryThe clinical interest of this case resides in the fact that the surrenal insufficiency was preceded by symptoms of myxœdema whereas habitually, in the Schmidt syndrome, the thyroïd lesions are only found at necropsy. Moreover, this observation shows the noxious role of thyroxine in diseases where there is a latent state of surrenal insufficiency.The pathological study shows that between cases of death from Addison disease and cases of Schmidt syndrome there are only degrees in the thyroïd alterations. These alterations picture at the same time the influence exerted by destruction of surrenal cortex, on the parenchyme of the thyroïd and on the lymphoïd tissue. We believe we have shown that the massive lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroïd is only a particular instance of the lymphoïd hyperplasia due to the lack of cortical hormones.
