Coma In Infancy And Childhood, Edwin C. Myer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Coma is defined as an altered state of consciousness from which arousal due to appropriate stimuli is not adequately achieved. Such a definition of the state of coma is plagued with semantic problems, and terminology describing various comatose states is vast and even more ambiguous when applied to the infant. Rather than using such terms as coma, semicoma, stupor, or obtundation, it is better to describe the physical state of the unresponsive patient. The description should include the patient’s appearance, movements either spontaneous or elicited from stimuli, the patient’s response to the stimulus, and the nature of the stimulus, whether …

Acute Seizure Problems, Cary Suter

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Seizures are a symptom and not a disease. A seizure is the result of an abnormal electrical discharge of a collection or group of living but damaged or abnormal neurons. When the group of neurons is in the cerebral cortex, a focal or partial seizure occurs, producing abnormal activity related to that part of the brain. The victim may experience a focal jerking or focal numbness, or flashing lights if the lesion is in the occipital lobe; or he or she may be subject to peculiar automatic behavior if the lesion is in the temporal lobe. When the activity spreads …

Bacterial Meningitis: Some Epidemiologic And Clinical Factors In Diagnosis, Vincent P. Calabrese

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In ancient times all acute delirium states were known as “phrenesis.” It was not until the 17th century that inflammations of the meninges and cerebrum were differentiated from each other. By the 19th century meningitis had been described to the extent that a number of epidemics were reported both in the United State and Europe, but it was the development of the lumbar puncture by Quincke in 1893 which opened up a new diagnostic era for the disease.

Juvenile Hyperlipemia, William W. Miller

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Asymptomatic hyperlipemia occurs in a significant number of American children. It is important to recognize the condition during childhood because of its role as a risk factor in the early onset of coronary artery disease and because early dietary modification may prevent changes leading to premature heart disease.

Genetic Studies Of Deafness And Of Retinitis Pigmentosa, Joann A. Boughman, Frederick R. Bieber, Walter E. Nance

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In experimental animals where the generation time is short and matings can be controlled experimentally, it is a relatively simple task to determine whether a trait is genetic, how it is inherited, and where the causal gene pair is located. However, in human genetics, inferences must be drawn by pooling observations on many small families in which the trait of interest has occurred. The condition may be etiologically heterogeneous, resulting from environmental causes in some families and showing variable patterns of inheritance in others. Hereditary deafness and retinitis pigmentosa (RP) provide instructive examples of the problems involved in the genetic …

The Genetic And Environmental Effects On Diabetes In Humans And Animals: An Overview, Roger M. Loria, Linda A. Corey

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Despite intense scrutiny the precise etiology of diabetes mellitus remains unclear. There appear to be two major forms of diabetes: juvenile-onset or insulin-dependent diabetes, and late-onset or insulin-independent diabetes; the late-onset form, in itself, may be etiologically heterogeneous. Either form may occur at any age, with a clear distinction between the two often being difficult to make. Juvenile-onset diabetes, representing 5% to 10% of all cases, is characterized by abrupt onset, clinical manifestation of hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis, and generally by a requirement for exogenous insulin; in maturity-onset diabetes plasma levels of insulin are usually normal or elevated and the abnormality …

The Philosophy Of Drenching Sheep In Western Australia, G C De Chaneet

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Sheep of all classes are drenched more or less regularly throughout the agricultural areas of Western Australia.

Much of the drench is wasted because it is used in the wrong circumstances. This situation is probably a result of poor understanding of drenching.

This article discusses the philosophy of drenching and attempts to relate this to the epidemiology of parasitism as it is currently understood.

Some Basics Of Marron Production, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

marron are native to the South-West of Western Australia, and are keenly sought by inland fisher-men. However, supplies do not equal the apparent demand.

One solution is to cultivate marron in farm dams, or more intensively as a commercial enterprise.

This article suggests a few guidelines for marron production.

Lumpy Wool May Increase By Dipping : Research Roundup, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Lumpy wool, or mycotic dermatitis, is an infectious disease on the skin of the sheep caused by the bacterium Dermatophilus conglensis. The organism invades the wool and hair follicles, causing formation of skin lesions producing scabby material which binds the wool fibres into a hard mass.

Research shows that 'dipping' may increase the incidence of lumpy wool with some chemicals a greater risk than others.

Social Wolk In Relief And Rehabilitation After Wars, At Home Aid Abroad, Walter A. Friedlander

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

In the United States after the wars of the 19th. century, particularly after the Civil War, no professional social workers existed who could have cared for the wounded soldiers and civilians or for the disabled veterans. But in Europe, during the war of France and Italy against Austria, in 1859, the foundation of some services for the wounded soldiers of the three involved nations were laid by a Swiss banker, Henry Dunant of Geneva who arrived by accident on the evening of the bloody battle in Solferino (Italy) and started to help bandaging some of the bleeding victims of this …

Ryegrass Disease Could Spread, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

The disease annual ryegrass toxicity kills sheep and cattle grazing pastures which contain infected annual ryegrass. In Western Australia the first confirmed outbreak was in 1968 in the Gnowangerup area.

The disease has noe spread over a range of 450 kilometres and with a total area of perhaps 100 000 hectares. because annual ryegrass is the major sown pasture grass in W.A. the disease could spread throughout the South-West.

There are some precautions that can be taken.
