Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1906, Vol. 3 The shape of the chest at birth differs from that of the adult. Its circumference is almost, if not quite, circular instead of oval. As a consequence of the circular shape alteration in the capacity of the thorax during respiration is difficult. During respiration in the adult the raising of the ribs causes the oval shape of the chest to become more circular, and the capacity is consequently increased. Since little of this increase can take place in the infant by means of thoracic movements the interchange of air in the lungs is carried on chie y by the diaphragm, and the respiration is consequently described as abdominal. A cyrtometer tracing of the chest has been added of a child, aged 7 months, which shows well the circular shape.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1912, Vol. 9 Of the 100 cases (fifty-six males with an average age of 8 months, and forty-four females with an average age of months), sixty seven (thirty-six males, average age 7 months, thirty-one females, average age mouths) proved fatal, and thirty-three (twenty males, average age months, thirteen females, average 102 months) recovered. Purpura occurred in eleven (six male, five female) cases, all of which were fatal. Of the sixty-seven cases 164 per cent. Showed purpura. The average age of the eleven cases was 8% months, the extremes being 1 month and 28 months. All but two cases (28 months and 12 months) were under 11 months of age; and, exclusive of the girl aged 28 months, the average age works out at months. None of the purpuric cases showed oedema. Among the 100 cases there was one case with oedema of the hands and feet which recovered; and two fatal cases (without purpura) showed septic rashes.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1915, Vol. 10 Congenital dextrocardia is an exceedingly rare condition (Foggie, Graanboom and Osier), one of us (Moffett) being able to find only 126 cases reported in a review of the literature from the year 1649. The exact cause for this malposition does not seem to be clear, though numerous investigators (Pegroux, Kussmaul, Winslow and Maschkox, Seres and Sabatier, Selon Dareste, Fol and Waryuski, von Baer, Bischofif and others) have suggested various theories for this abnormality. The most prominent theory (suggested by Fol and Waryuski) is that in the prenatal development of-the heart, the right side develops more rapidly than the left and pulls the heart to that side. No theory is sufficiently convincing to explain all cases. Cases of complete transposition of all the organs are numerous, but dextrocardia alone, as in our case, is exceedingly rare. Almost all of the cases of dextrocardia alone that have been reported present symptoms of congenital defects of the heart itself. This has been corroborated by frequent necropsy reports (Ziegler, Fussell, Probyn-Williams, Ewald, Theremin, Keith, Hochsinger and others). It is interesting to note that most of the cases that have been observed are in the male sex - our case was that of a male child. The early cases of pure dextrocardia were merely clinical reports, but about the middle of the nineteenth century the first postmortem records appear. Schroetter reported a case in 1870 and gave a complete review of the subject. Case Report The subject of this paper, D. L., a boy (History No. 3861, 1914, History No. 3009, 1915), came under our observation on Oct. 17, 1914, at the German Hospital Dispensary, New York. The family history is as follows: Number of children living, 7; number of deaths or miscarriages, 3; no history of tuberculosis, rheumatism or syphilis.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1904, Vol. 1 In 1896 a praiseworthy attempt was made in this country to start an Anglo-American Journal of Children's Diseases, to be published simultaneously here and in America. The English edition was not a financial success, and in a short time the venture succumbed to inanition as far as this country was concerned. The American publication, however, grew rapidly and flourished, and continues to flourish, in spite of the fact that there is another and senior journal dealing with diseases of children, viz. the well-known 'Archives of Pediatric.' The Americans at this time, be it understood, were far in advance of Englishmen in all matters relating to children's complaints. Men in the United States whose names are a household word there devoted their lives to that study, and the children's hospitals in that country justified their existence by the good work which emanated from them at the hands of the men who honoured them by their intelligence and industry.

Double sophagus, with reunion at the lower end, is still more rare. Blasius published one such case. In Kathe's case there appeared to be a narrow supplemental lumen in the wall of the tube.

Diverticula or pouches, pharyngeal rather than oesophageal, being situated posteriorly at the junction of the pharynx and oesophagus. They are found in later life, more often in men than women, and not in children. Possibly there may be a primary congenital weakness or deficiency of muscle at the point of origin, or they may develop from an imperfectly closed branchial fissure. IV. Cysts have been described by Hebb and H. M. Fletcher. Hebb's specimen is in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeous. It is about 20 min. in diameter, lined by epithelium like that of the trachea, with a wall chiefly of muscular tissue and mucous membrane. It was obtained from a woman, aged 31 years, who died from heart disease, and was situated in the upper part of the sophagus, in the angle between it and the trachea, about 11/2 in. below the left lobe of the thyroid. It arose during separation of the trachea from the sophagus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The British Journal of Children s Diseases 1910 Vol 7 Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1910, Vol. 7 Continued and persistent loss in weight, in spite of our utmost endeavours to rectify the fault, is the only condition under which the substitution of artificial feeding for maternal nursing is justifiable, except, of course, in those exceptional cases in which the health of the mother makes it compulsory. Even with the greatest care artificial feeding can rarely be accomplished from the time of birth without more or less severe disturbance, and to be successful the method we adopt must so far imitate breast feeding that the various constituents of the food can not only be digested by the infant, but also without throwing too great a strain upon its assimilative capacity. Biological chemistry has not as yet sufficiently advanced to make it a safe guide by itself, but the bio-chemist has taught us once and for all that cows milk, however scientifically and carefully prepared, can never be so modified as to be equal in chemical and nourishing properties to that of the mother. An important essential to successful feeding is a thorough knowledge and understanding of the differences, both qualitative and quantitative, which exist between the constituents of human and cow's milk. I shall therefore in the first place endeavour to describe these differences (as far as they are at present understood), and afterwards I shall describe the methods of feeding which I have adopted during the last few years, more especially in those cases where, owing to constitutional debility or previous improper methods, the digestive capacity of the infant has been so damaged as to make feeding by ordinary dilution an impossibility. A uniform method adapted to all cases does not exist, and it is only by the most careful consideration of the digestive capacity of each individual case that a suitable method can be arrived at. Cow's milk of fair average quality contains 4.00 per cent. fat, 4.75 per cent. of sugar, 3.50 per cent. of proteins, and 0.70 per cent. of mineral salts, whereas human milk contains 4.00 per cent of fat, 7.00 per cent. of sugar, 1.50 per cent. of proteins, and 0.20 per cent, of minerals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1915, Vol. 12 Letoux has injected as much as 10 c.c. into each hemisphere. L. Delmas ('Presse Medicale, ' September the 17th, 1898) has not been successful with this method. In the case of a girl whom L. Ombredanne kindly trephined and injected for me, I was unfortunately unable to prevent a fatal issue('Arch, de Med. des Enf., ' August, 1899). The success of intracerebral injection, therefore, which requires the assistance of a good surgeon, is by no means invariable. The same is to be said of intra-spinal injection, which is a much simpler procedure, thanks to lumbar puncture. Both successes and failures have resulted from the use of this method. F. Peruzzi ('La Pediatria, ' July, 1908) cured a case of tetanus in a boy, aged 7 years, by eight intra-spinal injections of serum, each containing 10 c.c. (80 c.c. in all); the serum came from Berne. In five other cases treated in the same way the result was nil. After this failure, having two other cases of tetanus to treat, he injected at once into the spinal canal 30 c.c. of serum, and recovery took place. He therefore advocates massive intra-spinal injections of anti-tetanic serum. Subcutaneous injections of anti-tetanic serum have often been employed and in large doses. J. Galletly ('Brit. Med. Journ., ' February the 18th, 1899) cured a boy, aged 8 years, by repeated injections of serum (240 c.c. in a fortnight); Murray ('Ind. Med. Record, ' March the 28th, 1914) cured a boy, who had contracted tetanus from a wound in the foot, by nine injections of anti-tetanic serum (one daily, in all 90 c.c). In Letoux's case, that of a boy, aged 14 years, who had been given two intra-cerebral injections of 10 c.c, one must also take into account the numerous subcutaneous injections which were given (ten from May the 7th to May the 22nd, or 105 grm. of the anti-tetanic serum of the Institut Pasteur). V. Barachini ('Gazz. d. Osp., ' January the 7th, 1900) cured a boy, aged 13 years, by two subcutaneous injections in the thigh of Tizzoni's anti-tetanic serum (50 c.c. in all). This serum was employed at Pisa in the same manner in five other cases with successful results. S. H. Long ('Brit. Med. Journ., ' November the 24th, 1900) cured a boy, aged 13 years, with thirteen subcutaneous and fifty-five rectal injections of anti-tetanic serum (680 c.c. in all). In a case of tetanus neonatorum in a female infant, aged 13 days, treated by J. MacCaw ('Brit. Med. Journ., ' March the 30th, 1901) cure was obtained by two subcutaneous injections of anti-tetanic serum from the Institut Pasteur (3 c.c and 2 c.c. respectively).

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1920, Vol. 17 Much recent work has been done on poliomyelitis, especially from the pathological point of view, and extensive experimental investigations have been made on the disease in monkeys. Buzzard's conception of the disease was a distinct advance on the one that this disease was entirely an affection of the anterior cornual cells of the spinal cord and was localised to them. A more recent and perhaps wider point of view is that there is an acute inflammatory process in the central nervous system over a wide-spread area, and that there are also visceral lesions especially in the lymphatic organs. The cause of this acute specific fever is stated by Flexner to be a minute filterable micro-organism, which has been secured by him in artificial culture, and is distinctly visible under the higher powers of the microscope. The virus is suspected to enter the body by way of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat. The conception of the disease which expressed itself only in terms of the old atrophic lesions in the anterior cornual cells was necessarily narrow, and concerned only with the resulting paralysis, which should really be regarded as an incidental occurrence in a general infectious disease. This view for a long time dominated all ideals of treatment, and prevented a hopeful attitude being formulated or maintained; the inherent possibilities of recovery in the muscle were ignored, and no hope was entertained of sufficient anterior horn-cells having survived or recovered. Mackenzie, who was a pioneer in the field of muscle re-education in infantile paralysis and who is chiefly responsible for this method of treatment, began his work at the muscle end of the neuro-muscular system, and having proved that muscle power was recoverable in old cases of paralysis, he was impressed with the urgent necessity of beginning this line of treatment as early as possible in recent cases. Draper makes another point when he says - "It is curious that notwithstanding the gradual realisation, resulting from many severe epidemics, that the malady was of an infectious nature, clinicians and the public have been loth to give up the fixed conception that paralysis is the beginning and end of the story. The term "infantile paralysis" is doubly a misnomer, as it leads us to consider the disease as one of infancy only, and secondly to consider the paralysis as an essential part of the disease; it has recently been pointed out that non-paralysed cases comprise 50 percent, of patients affected, and some observers put the numbers as high as 70 percent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1916, Vol. 13 The incidence is therefore close on 2 per cent., and girls are affected nearly twice as frequently as boys. The figures of the Belgrave Hospital for Children show how large a proportion of squinters there are amongst those brought on account of some difficulty with their eyes other than external disease. Amongst these 199 cases the great majority were of the fixed type, with one eye turned towards the nose, all but 9 were primary squints, i.e., not associated with actual disease of the eye. AEsthetics. The ugliness of squint is patent. It is probable that the "evil eye," for which many hapless old women were harried to their death on the suspicion of witch-craft in "the good old days," was no more than a common squint, a "cast" in the eye, or "bossing," as it is called in many parts of the country to this day. And bossing had an evil significance; of persons it indicated a despicable and worthless character, usually of decrepid age. "I speak to you, auld Bossis, of perditioun," Lyndsay, 'Works' (ed. 1592). Not only was squint thought to be of evil significance, but the defect itself was considered the work of evil spirits. In "King Lear" we find the following in the scene on the heath at night: "This is the foul fiend Flibbertigibbet: he begins at curfew, and walks till the first cock; he gives the web and the pin, squints the eye, and makes the hare-lips; mildews the white wheat, and hurts the poor creature of the earth."
