In the Bulletin of the Johns Hopkins Hospital for December, 1898, there appeared an article by B. R. Schenck " On Refractory Subcutaneous Abscesses caused by a Fungns possibly related to the Sporotrieha." "The primary point of infection was on the index finger, whence it extended up the radial side of the arm, following the lymph channels, and giving rise to several circumscribed indurations, w...

The above is not difficult to understand when it is remembered how frequent and progressive tubercle of the lungs is in Rangoon, and how futile any treatment (including the open air treatment) is in its arrest. Excluding the evidently tubercular cases, a majority of other enlarged chronically inflamed lymphatic glands remains. They appear to be of syphilitic origin. While plenty of stress is la...

In our country, there have been many reports on the skin test of whooping cough by agglutinogenl and its reliability was discussed by Matsumura3 and the present authors2,4. In this report, the reliability of this skin test and the relationship between the skin reaction and the susceptibility to whooping cough are examined from the results of the 3 years field study. The agglutinogen was, as des...

decisions. Because severity scorings differed mainly in diverse estimations of the involved area and induration of the lesions, one may speculate that the divergence might have resulted from the inability of the teledermatologists to see the entire body and to palpate the lesions, or it might have resulted from some flaws of the PASI scoring system for which an interrater variability of up to 8...

We describe a patient who experienced diffuse, treatment-refractory facial inflammatory reaction following the injection of calcium hydroxylapatite with lidocaine. The was attributed to undiagnosed Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Exogenous thyroid hormone replacement therapy rapidly resolved inflammation associated this type autoimmune hypothyroidism.

Mathematical model for a pilot scale iron ore pellet induration furnace has been developed which considers the process of induration including the reactions of limestone, magnetite and coke. The differential equations of energy, mass and momentum are solved simultaneously. The profiles of temperature, pressure and concentration are obtained. Performing separate experiments on sub processes; dry...
