Page 681 - ... this the main concern has been shifted to the question of how to combat inflation. That such a shift in the core of social and economic problems has indeed made itself felt nearly all over the world in such a short time is itself a proof of the strong international inter-relationship nowadays, and in this connection, attention should be drawn to the fact that the world is in need of a growing integration, which I am happy to note is on its way. The agreement based on the Schuman Plan in regard...
Page 792 - I have already pointed out,6 affords abundant opportunity not only for the entrance of bacteria and their products, but also the conditions favoring the acquisition of various infective powers by the bacteria. The demonstrated presence over a long period of time in foci of infection (particularly in chronic diseases) of bacteria with the same elective localizing powers suggests that the tendency to recurrences of a certain type of disease in the same patient and even hereditary tendencies may be...
Page 132 - However, there are two considerations which may save him from this error: First, notwithstanding the extensive distortion of the stomach, no corresponding mass may be felt and the filling defects are evidently due not to the intrusion of a tumor, but to an infiltration and contraction of the gastric walls. Second, the roentgenologist may be impressed by the discrepancy between the extent of gastric involvement and the general condition of the patient, who is often below the cancer age, is anemic...
Page 339 - ... week, and the gauze, the latter part of the second week. As a rule, it will be best to fasten the peritoneum at the brim of the pelvis to the sigmoid. To one who has not actually taken part in some of these formidable operations, they might appear impossible, or even if mechanically possible, to be fraught with so much immediate danger and so little chance of permanent cure as not to be justifiable. This is by no means true, however, for after such extensive and complicated dissections we have...
Page 84 - Ix'tween remote foei of infection and ulcer. None of these observations, however, proves the etiology of the ulcer. The demonstration of streptococci in foci of infection in patients with ulcer and in the ulcers themselves, and the fact that they localize in the stomach in animals, furnish what seems to me to be the final proof of the etiology. The conditions under which streptococci acquire affinity for various organs,6*' "• "• " 74 are still obscure, but of the existence of this affinity of...
Page 602 - ... ascites. In such a stage, from a diagnostic standpoint, it is often difficult and sometimes impossible to determine in a given case whether the condition is the result of a true splenic anemia or of a primary liver cirrhosis associated with a large spleen. Experience has shown that in the very late stages of splenic anemia definite improvement following splenectomy cannot be expected, yet it is also true that a moderate cirrhosis, even associated with ascites, has been present in some cases in...
Page 958 - Broad-minded and singularly free from narrow prejudice, his strong personality inspired trust, confidence, and love in all with whom he came in contact. Therefore, Be it resolved that we extend our deepest sympathy to his family, and that a written expression of the same be given to them.
Page 156 - ... characteristic of gastric syphilis in view of the cases reported herewith, is suggestive of benign gastric ulcer; the gastric chemistry and roentgen findings rather suggest carcinoma. The average age of patients with acquired syphilis of the stomach is about 35; the duration of the complaint averages 3 years. In most instances the condition is characterized by an initial intermittent course, followed soon by continuous symptoms and associated with epigastric pain of variable degree, felt shortly...
Page 47 - ... character that a general infection does not occur, it appears altogether reasonable to suppose that in man gastric ulcer may be caused by streptococci also. The supposed relation between infected tonsils or gums and gastric ulcer may be due not to the swallowing of bacteria, as...
Page 609 - ... chronic invalid. Splenectomy we have found of less technical difficulty in pernicious anemia than in any other disease or condition. An incision toward the outer edge of the left rectus extending above to about one inch from the costal margin and below to the level of the umbilicus is satisfactory. An abdominal exploration should first be made, especially in view of the frequent complications of liver and gallbladder met with in those diseases for which splenectomy is advocated. The dislocation...
