Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of American Medical Association, 1885, Vol. 4: Containing the Official Record of Its Proceedings and the Reports and Papers Presented in the Several Sections Introduction and extraction or needles. M. Despris, in a lecture which he delivered at La Charite (gazette Medica/e, Med. Times) made some interesting observations. A young woman, striking a table with the palm of her hand, thrust a needle into the base of her middle finger and this, striking against the first phalanx, broke and became fixed there. When seen two days afterwards, the fragment of needle had completely disappeared amidst the in amed tissues. On pressing at the base of the mid dle finger, however, a foreign body, pressure on which occasioned pain, could be felt An incision was made at this point, and a fragment of needle, measuring 1% centimetres, removed by the forceps. Here the incision was justified by the fact that the foreign body was firmly fixed. The subject of a second case was a young woman, into whose breast a needle was driven obliquely by a blow, and entirely disappeared under the skin. Guided by the patient the presence of the needle could be ascertained but in this case an incision for its removal would be im proper, for the integuments of the breast are so mo bile that an incision made in the skin would not correspond to the foreign body. The presence of the needle having been exactly determined, we should seize it in its length and make pressure on its two ends. At one of these we may perceive a slight cracking sound, and here the patient also feels a sharper pain than elsewhere, and this is the point of the needle. If we now press firmly upon the other end this point'will be forced through the integument and can then be seized with a forceps. An incision should never be made except when the body is fixed in the tissues, as in the first case. One caution must be borne in mind, and that is, we should never attempt an extraction on the mere statement of the patient that a needle is present in the tissues, and when we are unable, to verify its presence; for sometimes persons declare that they have needles in their tissues when they have not; or when we are consulted the needle may have already migrated to another part of the body, this migration sometimes taking place very rapidly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Medical Journal, 1885, Vol. 13 Herewith we append a table which will show at a glance the field of study necessary to become a good diagnostician in the exanthematous diseases. We would ask the reader to pause for a moment and reflect upon the synopsis on the next page. To treat these diseases by taking up each subdivision as they appear in this table would weary the reader and defeat the pur pose we have at this time before us. My object is rather to point out an easy method of study by which the mind may grasp the subject, and hence I shall be able only to take up a subject here and there in my series of articles, leaving the investigator to pur sue the subject beyond the limits assigned me in this journal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1885, Vol. 90 In the preparation of this paper it has been my intention to present a full report of a case of retention cyst of the pancreas, which has recently come under my observation, and, at the same time, summarize, in a com pact form, the clinical history of similar cases which will serve as a basis for some general remarks on the surgical treatment of cysts of the pan creas. Case I. Cyst of Pancreas; Laparotomy; Recovery - vo12, set. 19, laborer, German, was admitted to Milwaukee Hospital Nov. 28, 1884. He is small for his age and not robust, but he claims that, with one excep tion, he has never been sick, and that no hereditary tendency to disease exists in his family. Five weeks ago, while enjoying perfect health, he was thrown from a wagon, striking the. Ground on thelett side of the abdo men, a heavy keg falling upon his back, and increasing the force of the fall. The pain felt immediately after the accident was confined to his back, at a point where he was struck by the keg, but it was not sufficient in intensity to prevent him from following his occupation as a mason's apprentice. In a few days, however, diarrhoea set in, which persisted for two weeks, greatly reducing his strength and weight. If he had any fever during this time it was not. Sufficiently severe to attract his attention. His appetite was not impaired, and, though he vomited occasionally, neither vomiting nor the diarrhoea seemed to be aggravated by the time of eating or the kind or variety of food. After two weeks he noticed a tumor in the left hypochondriac region, which was round, smooth, and painless. The tumor increased rapidly in size, and soon gave rise to a sensation of fulness in the stomach, and later on, to regurgitation and vomiting soon after meals. Appetite slightly impaired. At this time the patient was treated for a short time by my friend, Dr. F. H. Day, of nvauwatosa, Wis., who resorted to symptomatic treatment, and observing no improve ment, referred him to me for diagnosis, and, in case it should be deemed advisable, for surgical treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Bioethics narrates the history of American medical ethics from its colonial origins to current bioethical controversies over abortion, AIDS, animal rights, and physician-assisted suicide. This comprehensive history tracks the evolution of American medical ethics over four centuries, from colonial midwives and physicians' oaths to medical society codes, through the bioethics revolution. Applying the concept of "morally disruptive technologies," it analyzes the impact of the stethoscope on conceptions of fetal life and the criminalization of abortion, and the impact of the ventilator on our conception of death and the treatment of the dying. The narrative offers tales of those whose lives were affected by the medical ethics of their era: unwed mothers executed by puritans because midwives found them with stillborn babies; the unlikely trio-an Irishman, a Sephardic Jew and in-the-closet gay public health reformer-who drafted the American Medical Association's code of ethics but received no credit for their achievement, and the founder of American gynecology celebrated during his own era but condemned today because he perfected his surgical procedures on un-anesthetized African American slave women. The book concludes by exploring the reasons underlying American society's empowerment of a hodgepodge of ex-theologians, humanist clinicians and researchers, lawyers and philosophers-the bioethicists-as authorities able to address research ethics scandals and the ethical problems generated by morally disruptive technologies.
