摘要:

The spiral prominence of the rabbit is made up of an epithelial cup and of corpuscles (villi), formed by two or more organules containing osmioreducing substance. The prominence of the human foetus is composed of a unique and voluminous organule also contained in an epithelial cup. These epithelial cells derive from those of the outer spiral sulcus that also give rise to an epithelial system of the spiral ligament which in the rabbit is expanded while in man is compact, contained, therefore, in the area of the spiral prominence.

摘要:

Nowadays, otologists mostly consider electronystagmography as an indispensable diagnostic procedure for a complete oto-neurological examination. However, this method is not yet used very often by practitioners, the price of the outfit being prohibitive for a private medical office. The introduction of Greiner’s torsion swing test has entirely changed the situation, however: this has made available a relatively inexpensive apparatus, and the method is sufficiently well standardized to be successfully performed by practitioners. The author presents a number of graphs obtained by the method of Greiner; he shows a case of vestibular recruitment, a central type outline after cranio-cerebral trauma and a flat graph in a case of disseminated sclerosis. The author is pointing out that in certain cases of central disturbances, the patient is unable to follow the oscillations of the pendulu

摘要:

The author first reviews the action of corticoids in general, then their beneficial as well as unwanted effects on a corrosive lesions of the oesophagus. Management depends above all on the pathology of the lesions, in practice on endoscopic findings. Local contra-indications are severe necrosis and profuse gastric bleeding. Distal (i.e. gastric) injury is more frequent than is commonly realised as ingestion of corrosives precludes its investigation. The experience of 45 cases has shown that 50% of acid and 70% of lye burns will benefit from corticolherapy. If prescribed, it must be given from the third day onwards; earlier administration will impair the proliferation of fibroblasts necessary for repair; afterwards it will be too late to forestall their transformation into fibrocytes responsible for the future and already unpreventable stenosis.

摘要:

Our brief experience with Kleinsasser’s method of microlaryngoscopy has been very rewarding. With further experience the slight increase in lime which is necessary for this technique should be further reduced and the method may become routine. The upper teeth are protected with a dental impression tray filled with brown Stents material. A new instrument was developed which is mounted on the light carrier and which helps guide the long handled instruments. The vocal cords arc easily seen by this technique and can he accurately operated upon even under the highest magnificatio

摘要:

The bacillus pyocyanic, isolated in 1882 by Gessard, was not at the origin of infections except in cases of seriously ill patients or in the premature babies with diminished resistance. After the discovery of antibiotics and their excessive use in therapy, resistent strains of bacillus pyocyanic have been developped leading to infections in which the frequency and seriousness are still increasing. The medical staff neglecting the antiseptic measures during operations and dressings of the wounds, are at the origin of the epidemies in the hospitals. Because of its enzymatic power the bacillus pyocyanic may develop in a solution of penicillin, anesthesics, antiseptics or in the material or instruments unproperly sterilized. It is therefore necessary that severe prophylactic measures must be taken in addition to antibiotic treatment. The most active of the antibiotic therapy are the following: colimycin, polimyxin, gentamycin and carbenicillin. 46 cases of bacillies pyocyanic infections have been treated by colimycin at the ORL Clinic of Geneva and in 67.3% of cases, this treatment sterilized the infected areas. The cases resistent to colimycin were then treated by gentamycin, without favorable results. On the other hand, two cases of bacillus pyocyanic resistent to the previous antibiotics were treated with success by carbenicillin.

摘要:

ActinomycesIsraeli, the agent of human actinomycosis and in particular of its cervico-facial form, is an endosaprophyte of the mouth becoming pathogenic following trauma to the buccal mucosa (for example sucking vegetable fibers) or common pyogenic infections. Demonstrative case histories show an excellent cure rate on high-dosage penicillin, associated, if need be, with treatment of the causal infection, surgical excision and radiotherapy. Prophylaxis consists of strict buccal hygiene with a view to eliminating infectious foci and active discouragement of grass sucking and its attendant risk of trauma to the buccal mucosa and penetration of the fungus.
