Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1920, Vol. 159 The mortality rate following prostatectomy is in direct ratio to three vitally important factors: (1) The recognition of absolute contra-indications to operation; (2) the recognition of relative contra-indications to operation, and (3) the knowledge of methods of treatment preliminary to operation that will remove such relative operative contra-indications and thus bring the individual within the operable class. Characteristic illustrations of these factors are most frequently found in subnormal function of the kidneys. In one instance an impending uremia may be due solely to an antecedent nephritis of the chronic interstitial type, in which event, the cause being irremovable, there is an absolute contra-indication to operation. In another instance a minor degree of interstitial nephritis may exist, but the dangerously low renal function present is dependent upon back pressure incident to lower urinary obstruction. Under these circumstances there is a relative contra-indication to operation, because after decompression of the kidneys the renal function im proves, so that eventually the obstructing prostate can be removed successfully.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1920, Vol. 160 In order of frequency the next common symptom is jaundice, which occurs before the patient seeks medical advice, and is often the symptom which alarms him. Once inaugurated it is progressive and extreme, presenting all the symptoms of an intense cholemia. We found it in 80 per cent. Of the cases on admission. Rarely an anomalous course of the common duct may account for absence of this finding. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1914, Vol. 148 Etiology. The ages of the patients varied from nine months to fourteen years. In three instances two members of a family were admitted, and in a fourth instance two cousins living in the same house. It was further observed that although only in a very few instances could a direct or indirect contact with a patient suffering from the disease be recorded, at any one time the majority of patients came from the same general locality in New York. Inquiries were made as to the prevalence of flies and other insects in the house, and subsequent to the communication of Rosenau2 on the conveyance of infection by the stable fly (stomoxys calcitrans), the proximity of the home to stables was in all cases inquired into. Neither the prevalence of insects nor the neighborhood of stables was found to be a usual occurrence. In many cases the parents suggested some slight accident or some dietary indiscretion as the cause of the condition, but in no case could a predisposing cause be ascertained. In View of the possible importance of the nose and throat as the point of entrance of the infection, the tonsils were in all cases inspected.3 Simple inspection is unsatisfactory in estimating the size or condition of tonsils, but in 37 cases they were noted as somewhat enlarged and congested, in 18 cases as enlarged, and in 4 as slightly congested. In the remaining 31 they were noted as normal or were not examined, as occurred in two rapidly fatal cases. In the case of 8 children whose tonsils were noted as enlarged and congested, 21 other children in their families were examined, and of these in 16 the tonsils were noted as Showing no enlargement or congestion. In 15 cases the tonsils were enucleated, and on removal usually proved to be larger than inspection had led one to expect.

Excerpt from American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1912, Vol. 144 Such a thing as natural constipation, in my Opinion, does not exist. Some reason must he looked for as a cause for the deficient evacuation. In childhood such reason is found occasionally in some anatomical malformation, but this is seldom. The common cause is neglect of the habit of evacuation, or, even more commonly, a wrong diet. When I looked over these boys I found absolutely no anatomical deformity, but on questioning the mother as to their habits and diet, I found that the custom of having stool at a special time of day had never been insisted upon, and the mother told me that she was very careful as to their diet and had always been. I was away on my vacation when consulted as to these boys, so had no means of making careful record of the physical findings, weight, urine, etc. Suffice it to say that the only abnormality found was a condition of inanition in both children. When the mother told me how she was feeding them, into the details of which it is unnecessary to enter, I was not surprised at their physical state. They were being fed on foods which had almost no residue, and they were not receiving enough even of such food. To the joy of both boys 1 increased their diet considerably, giving both foods which had more food value, and what is just as important, a sufficient amount of the fodder vegetables to produce enough bulk to the residue to stimulate peristalsis. I also pre scribed the amount oi water to be taken daily and the times at which it should be taken. I instructed the mother to have the boys go to stool at the same time each day and try to have a passage. If this did not come without great straining, to give a small enema of soaped water to start it. I also ordered that all laxative medicines be stopped. After the third day the enema was not needed. It is over a year since this advice was given, and the boys have neither of them required a laxative Since. I have several such: cases on record, so I feel sure that we can put down as one of the chief etiological factors in constipation, especially in children, a lack of sufficient bulk to the residue of the food, and, as another, neglect of the habit of evacuation. The former can readily be supplied by the use of a sufficient amount of the fodder vegetables, and the latter by discipline.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1922, Vol. 163 From this reasoning it would seem as though any substance which is constrictor to renal vessels should, in suitable high dilution, show evidence of diuretic power unless it lowers general blood pressure or diminishes permeability of the glomerular membranes. This supposition is now being tested. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1918, Vol. 156 The animal organism, except that of the unicellular type, is a congerie of organs whose history, individually considered, as it is thus far revealed, constitutes the sciences we call comparative embryology and comparative physiology and which we must know, not only to comprehend the full significance of the work they now perform, but also to recognize and interpret the possible variants from the normal in function and structure which they may manifest. This history, in invertebrates as in vertebrates, is one of change either in structure or in function, or, often, in both structure and function, and, accordingly, frequently confusing and difficult to follow in any attempt to gain a full comprehension of the conditions and forces that determined the character of each organ.
