SINUSITIS AS A CAUSE OF TONSILLITIS. BY BEDFORD RUSSELL, F.R.C.S., Surgeon-in-Charge, Throat Departmentt, St. Bart's Hospital. ALTHOUGH the existence of sinus-infection has long since been recognized, medical men whose work lies chiefly in the treatment of disease in the nose, throat and ear are frequently struck with the number of cases of sinusitis which have escaped recognition,copyright. even in the presence of symptoms and signs which should have given rise at least to suspicion of such disease. The explanation of the failure to recognize any but the most mlianifest cases of sinusitis lies, 1 think, in the extreme youth of this branch of medicine; for although operations upon the nose were undoubtedly performed thousands of years ago, it was not uintil the adoption of cocaine about forty years ago that it was even to examine the nasal cavities really critically.

  • Differentiated from the Rare Congenital Lues. Catarrhal Pharyngitis Produces Attacks of Hacking Cough with Frothy Mucus Appearing in the Mouth and on the Lips
    Sir,-Your editorial in the February Research Newsletter has asked for sug- gestions on the classification and elucidation of minor maladies seen in general practice. I would like to recall the catarrhal diathesis of the older physicians. Perhaps it should be called a catarrhal state. It is extremely common especially in under fives and over fifties. It is conceived as an imperfect state of health or an incomplete defence against infection. Indeed, saprophytic organisms are encouraged to become virulent and inflammatory in the milieu of catarrh. In the newly born it is manifested as a sticky eye and a nasal snuffle which must be differentiated from the rare congenital lues. Catarrhal pharyngitis produces attacks of hacking cough with frothy mucus appearing in the mouth and on the lips. Catarrhal gastritis causes anorexia and irregular vomiting of curdy milk, sour fluid and mucus. Catarrhal bronchitis requires no description except to state that in its non-toxic afebrile form it can be associated with bronchospasm or bronchial relaxation. Deeper still within the young baby is the manifestation of catarrh called infantile gastro-enteritis which is a disease of uncertain etiology. At about four or five the child with the catarrhal diathesis develops tonsillar and adenoidal hypertrophy and hyperaemia, catarrhal otitis media (no pus formation), sinusitis and more active bronchitis with fever and secondary infections. Between seven and ten seems to be the favourite age for short attacks of mucous colitis. I have also seen two cases which clinicallv resembled ulcerative colitis but were of short duration. Stool cultures were negative for any pathogens and the disease occurred in isolated instances when no dysentery was observed in the vicinity.

HURLBURT Department 0/ Systematics and Ecology University of Kansas lAwrence, KS 66045 ABSTRACT. - Literature research into ethnobotanical uses of North American prairie plants by Native Americans and early written accounts by travelers and doctors identified 203 native prairie species that have been used for medicine. We collected, identified, and made extracts from 22 of these species and subjected the extracts to biological screens to identify new anti-HIV and anti-eancer chemical leads. Our results show greater rates of activity for both aqueous extract anti­ AIDS screens (60.0%) and organic extract anti-AIDS screens (13.6%) than rates previously determined through random screening of terrestrial plants (13.9% and 3.0%, respectively). In preliminary anticancer screening, 10 of 22 organic extracts showed at least moderate activity. This work demonstrates that native prairie plants (and probably those of other regions in North America) may provide new chemical leads, especially if the target list includes those species that have ethnobotanical use histories. We also believe that our work helps substantiate the idea that Native Americans were choosing many plants with pharmacologically active substances in their health and healing practices.

  • The Tonsils and Nasopharyngeal Epidemics * by W
    Arch Dis Child: first published as 10.1136/adc.5.29.335 on 1 October 1930. Downloaded from THE TONSILS AND NASOPHARYNGEAL EPIDEMICS * BY W. H. BRADLEY, B.M., B.Ch. In a paper on nasopharyngeal epidemics presented to the Section of Epidemiology and State Medicine of the Royal Society of Medicine on 22nd June, 1928, J. A. Glover suggested an investigation into the 'relative incidence of droplet infections upon children whose tonsils have been enucleated and whose adenoids have been removed, compared with children who have not been operated on.' I have attempted this investigation, and by reference to a small part of the literature on the subject, to discuss my observations. The material observed is a public school for boys. A preparatory school is included, so that the ages of the boys under observation range from ten to eighteen years. The enquiry resolved itself into two parts Part 1. The condition of the throat in health. Part 2. The incidence of catarrhal disease. 1.-A sample of the school, 289 boys in good health, was examined during the second half of July, 1929, and data rSlative to the tonsil, the oral pharynx, the buccal mucosa and the cervical glands noted. The figures http://adc.bmj.com/ obtained are compared with the results found in Part 2. 2,-An analysis was made of my records of the acute, non-notifiable, upper air-passage infections occurring in the same boys during the four preceding school terms. A period of approximately one year of actual observation, but including two summer terms, is therefore dealt with.

  • The Catarrhal State
    THE CATARRHAL STATE P. D. MULKERN, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. Romford It was during the measles epidemic of the autumn of 1951 to the spring of 1952 that I blundered-for there is no other more suitable word to describe my shameful and unscientific empiricism-on a useful treatment to control the catarrhal state. Frequent upper respiratory tract infections, otorrhoea, sinusitis and tonsillitis became the accepted accompaniment of convalescence from measles in this working-class practice. Quite a number of adults were known to have quiescent tuberculosis and I was anxious that children debilitated by measles should not inadvertently become infected by neighbours as they played in other houses. So it became a routine to use the jelly test for tuberculin sensitivity during the 6 months after recovery in any children who appeared to be unduly debilitated, prone to frequent colds and catarrh, or who suffered multiple attacks of upper respiratory tract infection of one kind or another. I found quite a number of positive reactors, although on looking round I could never trace the source. Nor could I detect any physical signs of a primary focus by clinical or radiological examinations. Nevertheless, I decided to try the effect of rimifon on these children who were underweight, full of catarrh, wouldn't eat, had no energy and who were also positive reactors to thejelly test. To my surprise and delight they appeared to make very satisfactory progress and their mothers would come again and again for the " vitamin tablets ". As long as the treatment continued the catarrh was controlled, nocturnal nasal obstruction disappeared and there were no further infections of the throat or ears.

  • Wellness Rx Program for Managing Chronic Sinusitis”
    WELCOME to the “Wellness Rx Program for Managing Chronic Sinusitis” I am especially delighted to present this program to you for a very personal reason – I have been a lifelong sinusitis sufferer and have been through the rounds of drugs and surgery. Nothing helped for very long and often didn't help at all. You may have had the same disappointment. I finally tried a more holistic approach. I stopped buffeting my system with medications and started looking at the factors in my life such as environment, diet and lifestyle that could be contributing to my condition. I began to keep a careful record of what I ate, the weather patterns and even if there was a new carpet smell in the office. I added to the list as new things occurred to me. Before long, patterns began to emerge. I began to identify the triggers to my sinus attacks that I could avoid. At the same time, I sought for more information, ​ began using a saline douche daily, worked hard to stay hydrated, increased my daily intake of strong immune boosters with antiviral properties (i.e. Elderberry tonic & Mushrooms Extract Tinctures) and understood how to use other intervention products and techniques like colloidal silver, essential oils, acupuncture and acupressure. I put everything I had learned together-and, it worked! I found I could control my sinusitis with prevention and a holistic approach, not with the usual battery of medications. I discovered that my condition was a result of a combination of factors that involved my mind, body and even my spirit.

    NASAL CATARRH. With Compliments of THOS. GILBERT, PRINTER AND STATIONER, COLUMBUS, GA. To the Reader. It is with great pleasure that we we present you with a copy of this pamphlet, and we beg to say that the motive which prompt it is to show you, in as plain a manner as possible, your condition, should you now have Nasal Catarrh in any of its forms, and designate to yon its successful termination. Should I save a young and promising life, stay the hand bent upon self destruction in the aged, or deprive the grave or the insane asylum of its expected prey, then the writer will feel repaid for time and money spent in your interest. 1418 Fourth Avenue, July, 1892. Kasai Catarrh. There are several varieties of this dreaded disease, viz.: Hypertrophic Catarrh, Atrophic Catarrh, Ulcerative Catarrh, Syphilitic Catarrh, Catarrh from various growths; Polypus, Popilomata, Enchaudrama, etc., etc. HYPERTROPHIC CATARRH. Hypertrophic Catarrh is divided into an acute and a chronic stage. Acute Catarrh generally is caused from exposure, cold, and is nothing more than “acold in the head,” ora “bad cold.” It is, however, brought about at times from other causes, viz.: impure air—that is, air contaminated with foreign bodies, such as dust, smoke, tobacco, and in persons who have an idio- syncrasy, the polen of certain plants will bring on an attack. Oftentimes, with a little hygienic care, with removal of the cause, in a week or ten days the mucus membrane will resume its normal functions and a cure is complete. At other times, however, when one is not so prudent, and possibly has an hereditary predisposition to relax throat, weak lungs, bronchial trouble, consumption, etc., Acute Catarrh does not behave so luckily, but like Banquo’s ghost, still lingers and will not down, and a fresh cold is contracted, and after each fresh attack the nasal mucus membrane becomes more inflamed, and over the turbinated bones a hypertrophy (fig.
