摘要:

The characteristic features of this dystrophy are, in the infantile form, the failure for most of the ossification to pass beyond the stage of calcification, and the presence of multiple fractures; in the infant, multiple fractures, flattened vertebral bodies, expanded extremities of the tubular bones with a relative hypoplasia of the shaft, tendency to ballooning of a thin skull. Towards puberty, marked irregularity in growth in the metaphyseal borders of the epiphysis and expanded ends of the diaphyses, suggesting proliferation of cartilage, osteoid or other pre-osseous tissue instead of bone. In the adolescent and adult, localised thinning and bulging of the skull, marked deformities of the ribs and pelvis. Slender shafts of the tubular bones of the lower extremity, composed chiefly of compact cortical tissue with extremities which are expanded to almost normal size, but made up of an open cancellous structure which makes them relatively radio-transparent. Marked bending of the pelvis and bones of the lower extremity indicate an unusual degree of plasticity.

摘要:

The authors report on a series of seven cases in which calcification of the vasa deferentia was observed. Four of the seven cases were diabetics, each showing a considerable amount of arterial calcification.

摘要:

Exposure of cellsin vitroto X ray doses of 2500 r, 5000 r, and 10,000 r leads to the breakdown of cells soon after irradiation. The greatest number of degenerate cells are observed 3 hours after exposure.Cultures in which mitotic activity was greatly reduced before exposure respond in the same manner as normal cultures.The time at which degenerate cells appear, and the absence of mitotic recovery during the period of observation, indicate that the degeneration seen after these dosages is due to a breakdown of cells in the resting condition.This in contrast with the results following exposure of similar cultures to a dose range of 100–1000 r.

摘要:

In the death of Dr. W. J. Turrell, the medical profession will see the loss of one of the British pioneers in Medical Electrology. He became interested in this subject while in general practice and very soon devoted all his energies to it. His success as a leader in this speciality was undoubtedly due to the profound study he made of physics, coupled with an inventive genius and a keen sense of the practical.

摘要:

A Woman 52 years of age—a midwife. She had had progressive debility for twelve months and during the last few months had become very forgetful. Six weeks before admission to hospital a thorn had entered the ring finger of the right hand and caused two small ulcers which had failed to heal. She complained of very little, only that she was very sensitive to cold, and that it brought on pains in the legs.

摘要:

In the past, surface radium therapy has been most popular treatment for keloid, but X rays also have been used. Dosage has been varied but always small.In 1930, H.D.G. took optimum dose for treatment of keloid to be the erythema dose. Experiments showed that increasing the dose gave improved results up to erythema dose, beyond which he did not go because of risk of permanent skin marking.

摘要:

A Confinement was booked with a mid-wife for June 29, 1942. The expectant mother was aged 25, and she and her husband were both quite fit. The pregnancy had been normal during the whole nine months and there was no abnormality in the family history. At 6 a.m. on June 21, labour began, and the midwife called in the patient's doctor on account of an “unusual vaginal discharge.” The patient was seen at 9.30 p.m., when the discharge was copious and the colour and consistency of thin mustard—obviously not meconium and not contaminated with either blood or mucus. A female baby was born at 12.15 a.m. on June 22, 1942. The doctor was called again to stitch the perinæum and to see the baby, which was born very cyanosed and was still cyanosed on his arrival.The appearance suggested a congenital heart lesion and was maintained. The upper arms were short and the fingers in flexion. The legs were flexed and could not be straightened. Snuffles present.The baby remained lethargic and uninterested in food. The birth weight was 5½ lb. and there was no gain during the first month.Radiological examination was made about three weeks after birth.Skull. Rather large and globular with sunken bridge of the nose. Wide anterior fontanelle. The base is relatively short and abnormally dense.Spine. Deformed and irregularly developed vertebræ.

摘要:

This book may be regarded as the culmination of the life's work of an unusually gifted woman who devoted the last twenty years of her life unstintingly, and almost exclusively, to the study of cancer in women. Sadly, Dr. Hurdon did not live to see the publication of her work. A few months before her death in January 1941, she placed the manuscript, with a view to its publication, in the hands of Dr. Louisa Martindale and Professor Russ, to whom a considerable debt of gratitude is due for seeing it through the press.

摘要:

By way of emphasising the occurrence of osteochondritis dissecans in sites other than the typical one in the knee, seven cases are put on record, three involving atypical sites in the knee, two involving the ankle, one the phalanx of a toe, and one the head of a metacarpal bone.

摘要:

The author presents a series of cases to support the contention that roentgen therapy can be regarded as one of the best single agents, and in conjunction with well guided surgery the most practical remedy in managing T.B. cervical adenitis.
