Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1919, Vol. 158 Depending upon the locality, the etiological factors producing pneumonia may be expected to show variation. From experience in army base hospitals, two facts of importance have been rather universally recognized. The first fact refers to the general preva lence of the streptococcus (normally one of the hemolytic varieties) in pneumonia following measles. The second fact refers to the prevalence of the streptococcus, likewise one of the hemolytic varieties, as an organism associated in many localities with the pneumococcus in the production of epidemic pneumonia not pre ceded by measles or influenza, but as a distinct type in which the pneumococcus has appeared to play but a minor role. In certain localities, during the recent epidemic of influenzal pneumonia, the pneumococcus as the prevalent type of infection both in the acute disease and in the subsequent empyemas. In other localities the pneumococcus and streptococcus have been associated, while in others streptococcus pneumonias have been more frequently encountered than had been heretofore generally recognized. In the series of empyema here reported only those are included which required treatment by aspiration or operation. There were available for this report 35 empyema patients who recovered by repeated aspirations alone, while came to Operation. Those patients were not included who died within a few days of admission with an established diagnosis of empyema or those who died during the course of aspirations designed for their relief, but who, because of activity of the pneumonic process, acute bilateral empyema, purulent pericarditis, meningitis or other serious complications, were not considered reasonable operative risks. Because of the interest attached to variations of treatment, with increasing experience, these empyema patients have been grouped, depending largely upon three-time intervals, as follows' 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.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1917, Vol. 154 Pain was very strikingly relieved in many of the cases; discharge diminished in quantity and odor. If the patient's symptoms improved, but the lesions did not Show improvement, the case was not considered improved. Unimproved means that the patient's lesions or symptoms or both were not improved and that the lesions steadily progressed despite treatment. Some of the cases showed such marked improvement under treat ment at first that although they subsequently died it was deemed important to call attention to this class of cases by tabulating them under the heading of primarily improved, subsequently died. Our experience has led us to expect certain cases to do very well under treatment at first and raise great hopes of recovery in the patient and the therapeutist. Such cases have frequently been reported in the literature during this stage of improvement, and not uncommonly the patients have relapsed and died by the time the reports have been published. Some cases are improved but still unde'r treatment, so that their ultimate results are not known. These are classified in the column improved, still under treat ment.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1899, Vol. 118 A yet more striking illustration of the scarlatiniform rash, and one in which this lasted very much longer, was afforded by the next case. Case II. - Katie F., a young woman, was admitted into the Penn sylvania Hospital on March 6, 1897, having been ill for about five days. She had been previously in good health, and had never had either measles or scarlet fever. On admission to the hospital her tempera ture was noted at but it soon rose to the urine showed a trace of albumin, and one finely granular cast was found. The skin was very fair, so that any spots could have been readily detected, but none were observable. The next day there appeared on the face and arms a bright red, erythematous rash, which lessened somewhat after sponging, and was not always equally distinct, seeming to come and go, though never wholly leaving. There was no rash of the kind on the body, but it was specially observed that pressure on the skin everywhere produced a red spot which only slowly faded. The temperature ranged between 103 and On the 9th great disturbance of respiration was perceived, the breathing fell to twelve in the minute, and was jerky and irregular, and the erythematous rash which had disappeared showed itself again on the face and arms, giving the patient the appearance of scarlet fever - an appearance which was increased by a redness of the tonsils and the pharynx, the latter being covered with tenacious mucus. She was very ill, but the temperature-range was not materially different; during the night it ranged from to and she was very delirious.

Book Description
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.
