Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is believed that as neural deficits progress the likelihood of depression is increased, and the authors speculate upon possible neurochemical relationships between the physical manifestations of the disease and the depressive components.
Abstract: From a retrospective study of parkinsonian patients studied over the years, the authors speculate upon possible neurochemical relationships between the physical manifestations of the disease and the depressive components. They believe that as neural deficits progress the likelihood of depression is

TL;DR: This report is the first of the use of streptozotocin with apparent success in the treatment of carcinoid, having been found effective against insulin-secreting malignancies.
Abstract: This report is the first of the use of streptozotocin with apparent success in the treatment of carcinoid. This antibiotic having been found effective against insulin-secreting malignancies was given a trial in two instances of carcinoid. Further study is indicated.

Abstract: The authors review their case material in terms of histogenesis, clinical findings, prognosis and treatment. This is an uncommon lesion of the bladder.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Fungus infection should be considered in any chronic draining sinus in patients with skeletal blastomycosis.
Abstract: Skeletal blastomycosis can be diagnosed early. Treatment with 2-hydroxy-stilbamidine and supportive local therapy has a good prognosis. Roentgen appearance of the lesion is not consistent. Fungus infection should be considered in any chronic draining sinus.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Fractures occurring at the base of the first metacarpal are classified andRoentgen examination will allow classification of intra-articular fractures.
Abstract: Fractures occurring at the base of the first metacarpal are classified. Manipulation and closed reduction with or without pinning is the usual method of treatment. Occasionally, an intra-articular fracture will require open repair and pin fixation. Roentgen examination will allow classification befo



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed twenty-four instances of myocardial infarction related to anesthesia and/or surgical operation, an incidence of 0.13% of patients operated upon. Mortality rate in these cases was 83%.
Abstract: Twenty-four instances of myocardial infarction related to anesthesia and/or surgical operation have been reviewed—an incidence of 0.13% of patients operated upon. Mortality rate in these cases was 83%. Antecedant disease was common in these patients. Unstable blood presure is a significant feature d


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The authors speculate upon the possibility that the viral etiology of the condyloma might be carcinogenic but indicate that there is no proof of such relationship.
Abstract: The authors have called attention to the association at times of these two lesions. They speculate upon the possibility that the viral etiology of the condyloma might be carcinogenic but indicate that there is no proof of such relationship.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Metastatic tumors in the skin occur in a small number of instances in malignancies of these organs and there are no specific sites of predilection.
Abstract: Metastatic tumors in the skin occur in a small number of instances in malignancies of these organs. There are no specific sites of predilection. The prognosis is not necessarily influenced for the worse by the tendency to cutaneous metastases.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: By means of fundus photography and fluorescein angiography the authors have clarified some of the details of the pathologic characteristics and progression or regression of retrolental fibroplasia.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Though the acute life-endangering complications of acute otitis media have been quite eliminated by antibiotic therapy, this treatment may be followed by the complication of chronic disease because of improper selection of an antibiotic or insufficient treatment or bacterial resistance.
Abstract: Though the acute life-endangering complications of acute otitis media have been quite eliminated by antibiotic therapy, this treatment may be followed by the complication of chronic disease. Because of improper selection of an antibiotic or insufficient treatment or bacterial resistance, chronic otitis and/or mastoiditis may supervene.
