Coccidioidomycosis as a tool in the study of granulomatous disease. In spite of a far-reaching research effort extending over many years the processes by which the human body acquires immunologic resistance to most of the chronic infectious diseases remain obscure. With few exceptions, methods by which such resistance may be artificially produced or stimulated have not been discovered. In coccidioidomycosis there are several instances in which the immunologic reactions seem to be less complicated than those encountered in tuberculosis, for example. More concentrated research in coccidioidomycosis might lead to a better understanding of immunologic processes in general.


Retroperitoneal tumors in children; roentgen diagnosis. A study was undertaken to determine whether there are any features of retroperitoneal tumors in children that might be demonstrated on roentgenograms to aid in identifying them preoperatively. Study was limited to Wilms' tumor of the kidney and neuroblastoma. Calcification was found in 57 per cent of the neuroblastomas and in only 12 per cent of Wilms' tumors. Calcifications in neuroblastomas differed from those in Wilms' tumors. Calcification in neuroblastoma was more frequent in older children than in the younger ones. The kidney was frequently displaced by both types of tumor. However, the neuroblastoma always displaced the kidney downward, or downward and slightly outward. In most instances, the Wilms' tumor also displaced the kidney downward and outward, but in some instances upward and medially. This, of course, depended upon the site of origin of the tumor. There was a distortion of the intrarenal structures in 75 per cent of the cases of neuroblastoma and in 71 per cent of the cases of Wilms' tumor.


Mediastinal tumors of thymic origin.

Mediastinal tumors of thymic origin. Twenty-one cases of mediastinal tumors of thymic origin are presented. Five of these were benign and 16 malignant. Surgical excision is proposed as the treatment of choice for the encapsulated benign tumors or for malignant tumors of limited extent. When surgical excision is not feasible, adequate roentgen therapy amounting to 5,000 to 6,000 r calculated tumor dose may eradicate or control the tumor. No correlation between the histological pattern of the tumor and the survival rate or radiation response could be demonstrated in this small series.


Neurosis.

Neurosis. So-called "minor psychiatry," the treatment of neurosis in persons who are not psychotic, may well be undertaken by the general practitioner.The first duty of the physician in dealing with a neurotic person is to determine whether psychosis may develop. He must be patient and thorough in hearing the history of the case and should have full information on the patient's life and family.A recent classification of the neuroses is given and the more generally recognized symptoms of these conditions are described.


Measurement of thyroxin synthesis with I131; a test for evaluation of thyroid function in equivocal states. As the function of the thyroid gland is the synthesis and secretion of thyroxin, a test which correctly measures this process is best for diagnosis of thyroid disorder and for determining the success of therapy. The rate of secretion can be measured with a Geiger counter which indicates what proportion of radioactive iodine in a serum specimen is in the form of thyroxin. The normal proportion is 2 to 10 per cent; in hyperthyroidism the proportion is 50 to 70 per cent, and in hypothyroidism less than 1 per cent. The same test has served to detect metastases of thyroid carcinoma following total thyroidectomy.


Primary pulmonary resection for tuberculosis; medical and economic aspects in a small sanatorium. Twenty-eight patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in a small, tax-supported sanatorium were treated by primary pulmonary resection. In a comparison of results with those obtained in the same sanatorium by thoracoplasty and extrapleural pneumothorax, it was noted that in general the patients who had resection had earlier conversion of sputum to "negative" and had a shorter stay in hospital. Complications were not of sufficient frequency to contraindicate use of resection in cases in which there was doubt that thoracoplasty would be effective. The cost of hospitalization for surgical treatment and postoperative care was considerably less when resection was done than it was for either three-stage or two-stage thoracoplasty.


Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease; incidence in California. The statistics quoted in this and other published reports appear to substantiate the impression that rheumatic fever in California, although still an important public health problem which varies widely from one locality to another, is of lower incidence and perhaps of more benign character than in most other parts of the United States. It also appears that in California aortic insufficiency may be of higher relative incidence and occurs more frequently as a clinically diagnosable sequel of rheumatic fever than does classical mitral stenosis. Congenital defects of the heart constitute a large proportion of the cases of organic heart disease in children and young adults in this state.


Primary carcinoma of the duodenum.

Primary carcinoma of the duodenum. As the only hope for patients with malignant disease of the duodenum depends upon early diagnosis and prompt and adequate operation, suspicion must be alert even though the condition is relatively rare. The incidence is highest in persons between 50 and 70 years of age, and two or three times as high in males as in females. The onset is insidious. The patient usually gives a history of fairly good health and no other related symptoms until about a year before diagnosis. Early symptoms are loss of appetite, loss of weight, and moderate pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, sometimes associated with epigastric fullness which is relieved by belching. Vomiting and constipation are late symptoms. There may be occult blood in the stools, moderate anemia in some cases, and frequently jaundice. The radiological findings are irregularity of the mucosal pattern in the region of the tumor and often constriction of the involved portion of duodenum.A report is made herein upon four cases of primary carcinoma of the duodenum observed at one hospital in a period of only a little more than two years.


One-stage bilateral radical neck dissection; indications and technique. Simultaneous bilateral radical neck dissection is an operation entailing acceptable risk if used in propertly selected cases. The procedure is indicated for patients with bilateral cervical lymph node metastases so situated that a two-stage radical neck dissection could not be done without cutting through cancer tissue. Such patients are those with intraoral or cervical visceral midline primary lesions or those in whom, either by direct extension or lymph node involvement, the submental and submaxillary triangles are solidly permeated with cancer. The operation is indicated only for cure; for prophylaxis or palliation, lesser or staged procedures would be more productive of better results with less morbidity and mortality.


Congenital syphilis in California.

Congenital syphilis in California. Routine serologic tests for syphilis (as required by California law governing prenatal examination) and penicillin therapy during pregnancy for infected mothers have been major factors in the prevention of congenital syphilis in California during the past ten years. In 1940 one of each 822 infants had the disease, as indicated by morbidity reports of congenital syphilis in infants under the age of one year. In 1950 the ratio was one in 8,148. To determine why congenital syphilis continues to occur, a study of the 134 cases reported over a two-year period was made with the cooperation of local health officers and practicing physicians. It showed that in 76 per cent of cases the mother did not consult a physician prior to delivery or reported so late in pregnancy that the infant was born before adequate penicillin therapy could be given. In another 15 per cent syphilis developed in the mother during pregnancy after a negative reaction to a prenatal serologic test. The other 9 per cent of cases were due to various factors, such as infectious relapse or reinfection in previously adequately treated mothers. The study indicated that most cases occur in the lower socioeconomic population groups. Seventy-four per cent of cases were in infants delivered in county hospitals.


Delinquency in women.

Delinquency in women. From observation of some 1,000 women who were committed to a California correctional institution because of felonious offense it was concluded that:1. Delinquency results from certain identifiable factors, particularly basic defects in early family relationships, various aberrant psychological states including many forms of mental illness; physical illness or injuries, particularly those producing brain damage and resulting in abnormal psychological conditions; general environmental factors, and specific environmental factors.2. Certain personality-types and certain life-environmental situations appear to be associated with certain patterns of offenses.3. Correction and rehabilitation may be achieved to a greater degree as correctional institution treatment programs are increasingly implemented with psychiatric personnel, and as increased guidance and support are made available through parole divisions.


The auxiliary treatment of psychotic women; group therapy for their husbands. Group therapy for the husbands of hospitalized psychotic women relieved the anxiety and feeling of guilt of the husbands and led to better communication between husband and wife. It was particularly helpful just before and after the wife came home from the hospital. The group meetings saved various members of the hospital staff considerable time which they otherwise would have had to devote to the husbands individually.


General anesthesia in ophthalmology.

General anesthesia in ophthalmology. General or a combination of local and general anesthesia is beneficial in ophthalmic operations. With foreknowledge that they are to be asleep, patients approach operation with less trepidation, and during the procedure the surgeon can be more relaxed. In a series of 300 cases reviewed, no complications that could be attributed to general anesthesia occurred at the operative site. Nasopharyngeal and tracheal irritation sometimes developed. Anesthesia should be conducted by a well-trained, alert anesthetist; and the method and the agent should be determined after thorough examination and appraisal of the patient and consideration of the nature of the operation to be done.

Double contrast visualization of joints. Double contrast arthrography, a method in which a dye and then oxygen is injected, can be used to visualize pathologic changes in the knee joint, that otherwise cannot be recognized preoperatively. In 28 cases in which the procedure was carried out there was no evidence of damage owing to it. This method is worthy of consideration for visualization of conditions in the shoulder joint, hip, or any joint having a distensible cavity.

Vesicular and bullous diseases of the skin; cytologic diagnosis. A new technique, first described by Tzanck, for diagnosis of vesicular and bullous diseases of the skin by cytologic examination of material firmly scraped from lesions has a number of advantages over excision of biopsy specimens. It takes relatively little time, is painless, simple and inexpensive. The method also has value in research and teaching.


Primary carcinoma of the gallbladder; review of 173 cases. One hundred seventy-three cases of primary carcinoma of the gallbladder were analyzed. In the group studied they made 2.11 per cent of all malignant tumors found at autopsy and were found in 1.89 per cent of all cases in which operation was done on the biliary tract. There was no appreciable change in the incidence of this tumor at autopsy during the period studied (1918-1948) at the Los Angeles County Hospital. Sixty-eight per cent of the cases were in females. A particularly high incidence was noted in Mexican females. Upper abdominal pain, loss of weight, nausea and vomiting, jaundice, and palpable mass or enlarged liver were the most common clinical features. Approximately one-third of the patients in whom the lesion was found at operation and one-fifth of all the patients whose records were studied had a history of chronic gallbladder disease. All but two of the 38 patients operated on were dead or had clinical recurrence within two years. One was alive and well 12 years after cholecystectomy. The most common gross appearance, particularly at autopsy, was a large tumor mass replacing the gallbladder and radiating to nearby organs, particularly the liver. In about one-third of the cases the tumor was grossly limited to the gallbladder. Polypoid tumors occurred in only about 10 per cent of the cases and most of the tumors were diffusely growing adenocarcinoma. Perforation appeared in nine cases, usually with fistula to the gastrointestinal tract. All of the tumors were histologically adenocarcinoma, usually of simple glandular structure. No purely squamous cell growth occurred. Gallstones were found in 79.8 per cent of the cases.


Does your hospital need a recovery room? In a survey made to estimate the need for a special room in which patients could recover from anesthesia after operation, it was found that of 475 cases in which this service might have been used, it would have been desirable in 296; that recovery room care would probably have relieved ward nurses of the duty of special care during their busiest hours; that recovery room care was indicated in a high percentage of cases in which certain anesthetics were employed, and that the need for recovery room care appeared to increase in proportion to the amount of pre-sedation given.


Carcinoma of the prostate; diagnosis and treatment. About 28 per cent of men between the ages of 71 and 75 have cancer of the prostate. Many of them do not die of the disease, but with the life span ever increasing, this problem is becoming more important. In the early stages the condition is asymptomatic; when the symptoms of urinary obstruction arise, the cancer is usually too advanced for cure. Cure depends on early diagnosis and, therefore, on routine rectal examination. The solitary hard nodule of early prostatic cancer becomes a stony hard fixed prostate as the condition progresses. X-ray and acid phosphatase studies are of help only after the cancer has metastasized. As many as 50 per cent of patients with rectally palpable early carcinoma of the prostate can be cured by radical perineal prostatectomy. Often, simple enucleation or transurethral resection is sufficient to effect cure in the case of occult carcinoma. However, some observers believe that when cancer is detected by microscopic examination of a prostate that has been removed, a radical operation should be done as soon after the initial operation as feasible. Early orchidectomy and estrogen therapy are of considerable help in slowing the process of advanced prostatic cancer and may postpone the need of transurethral resection to relieve obstruction. When these measures fail, bilateral adrenalectomy, cortisone therapy, pituitary irradiation, and pituitary extirpation have been employed, with moderate success, in an effort to diminish the androgen level.


Controversial problems in adenotonsillectomy. It is doubtful that the tonsils or adenoids contribute sufficiently to immunity or to hematopoiesis to warrant withholding adenotonsillectomy when there is need for the operation. Focal infection, rheumatic fever and allergic disease must be evaluated in the individual case. A seldom discussed reason for operation is the prophylaxis or treatment of malformation of the nose, sinuses, mouth and jaw. Well defined indications for adenotonsillectomy include frequent occurrence of infection, peritonsillar abscess, cervical lymph node disease believed caused by tonsillar infection, otitis media, and hypertrophy sufficient to embarrass swallowing or breathing. The operation may also be indicated in certain cases of impaired hearing, halitosis, or anorexia, and sometimes for carriers of diphtheria. Psychic trauma can be obviated by proper preparation of a child for the operation he is to undergo. There is a good evidence of evidence of relationship between recent adenotonsillectomy and infection with poliomyelitis-and a good deal of evidence to the contrary. Nationwide rules cannot be established on the basis of the evidence presented thus far. Since in many cases it is unwise to put off adenotonsillectomy, each case in each community in each season must be evaluated separately.


Anesthesia in cardiac operations.

Anesthesia in cardiac operations. When the team of physicians-cardiologist, anesthesiologist and surgeon-who are to attend a patient during a cardiac operation study the patient together in preoperative evaluation, they are better able to anticipate emergencies that might arise during the procedure and to deal with them without loss of time for discussion. The principal problems of the anesthesiologist during operation are maintenance of adequate ventilation and oxygenation, maintenance of the lightest level of anesthesia possible (the minimum degree of poisoning), and maintenance of adequate circulation. The cardiologist must maintain constant observation of the heart rate and rhythm and be alert for early signs of myocardial oxygen deficiency.


Transorbital lobotomy; its use in relapsing psychotic states. Twenty-five private patients were treated by transorbital lobotomy. The period of observation after operation was from six months to three years. In 14 cases of affective disorders in which there was not adequate response to shock therapy, nine patients made social recovery and maintained good health and four were improved. Some follow-up shock therapy was necessary for about one-fifth of the patients. Of eight schizophrenic patients four made excellent social recoveries, two improved and two were not improved. In three cases of obsessive compulsive states, results were not satisfactory. In light of the factors of less disturbance to the total personality, absence of postoperative complications, shortened hospitalization, pecuniary savings and better clinical results, the authors prefer transorbital lobotomy to prefrontal lobotomy in private psychiatric practice and believe that in cases of frequent relapse early use of the procedure should be considered to prevent development of a chronic state.


The role of psychotherapy in allergy; credits and debits. Psychological problems play an important role in the production and exacerbation of allergic disease, just as they do in other illnesses, especially those of a chronic nature entailing economic and social problems. Some psychotherapy is implicit in the practice of all physicians. While most patients make satisfactory progress with whatever treatment is outlined, a few do not, and they may be helped if a little extra time is taken to investigate and rebalance their mental environment. In the treatment of patients with allergic disease, dealing with emotional problems is considered as adjunctive to specific desensitization.


Female infertility; the present status of treatment. Few barren women have gynecological abnormalities sufficient to prevent conception. Hormonal stimulation appears to be effective in some cases; and sometimes pregnancy follows instrumental treatment, possibly as a result of dislodgement or displacement of polyps in the process. There is nebulous evidence that psychogenic factors may play a part in infertility. If the fallopian tubes are occluded, operation to restore patency is not likely to clear the way to conception.


Diaphragmatic herniation through the space of Morgagni. In most cases diaphragmatic herniation through the space of Morgagni is asymptomatic and is first noted in routine roentgenograms of the chest. The diagnosis must be considered when shadows are seen in the anterior cardiodiaphragmatic angle. Lateral views are valuable in localizing the lesion. Simple procedures such as pneumoperitoneum should be used in differential diagnosis but when the diagnosis cannot be established by these simpler means exploratory thoracotomy is indicated, because of the possibility of carcinoma of the middle lobe of the lung. If diagnosis is established, thoracotomy is indicated as an elective procedure for repair of the defect, which may have serious consequences. Nine cases of diaphragmatic herniation through the space of Morgagni are summarized and a case report is included which illustrates the potential danger of this condition.

Questionable compensation claims; principles of special examination. In deciding a disputed claim of disability arising from occupation, physicians should ascertain whether a patient's medical history has any bearing on the disability; they should attempt psychologic evaluation of the patient as it may reflect on the conditions they observe in physical examination; they should investigate symptoms complained of by the patient rather than accept them as prima facie evidence of disability; and they must have knowledge of the extent to which an injury can cause disability. It is urged that standards of physical ability and disability, as well as of other physical factors which may affect compensation claims, be established by organized research.
