He says that " in setting themselves to punish crime our criminal courts are pursuiog a wrong system, a system unworthy of the age, a system begotten of medimval LONDON: SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1901. superstition and ignorance." Dr. ANDERSON is no doubt right when he insists upon a full and open inquiry into the prisoner’s character and antecedents, an inquiry upon Crime and Punishment. a more elaborate, formal, and dignified footing than the IN the February number of the Nineteencth Century Dr. investigation which is now carried out by some judges.

Research, California Institute of Behavioral Neurosciences & Psychology, Fairfield, USA 6. Medicine, K.J. Somaiya Medical College, Mumbai, IND Corresponding author: Aliya H. Sange, [email protected] Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) that tend to parallel intestinal activity and have a debilitating effect on the quality of life. EIMs primarily affect the joints, skin, and eyes with less frequent involvement of the liver, kidney, and pancreas. This article reviews the prevalence of musculoskeletal, dermatological, ocular, and other manifestations in IBD and their coalition with underlying intestinal inflammation. EIMs occurring independently of intestinal activity are managed by targeted therapies, categorical regimens, and specific treatments. On the other hand, EIMs paralleling the bowel activity are carefully monitored while the IBD is brought under control. Since the etiology of the disease is responsible for the development of the EIMs, the research scrutinizes the identified pathogenic mechanisms that tend to involve genetic susceptibility, aberrant self-recognition, and autoantibodies directed against organ-specific antigens shared by intestinal and extra-intestinal organs. This article also provides an overview of the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic modalities, and management of the EIMs associated with IBD.

During the discussion that Faculty of Health Sciences, followed Sir Charles Locock, obstetrician to Queen Victoria, was reported to have University of Queensland, Royal Brisbane and Women’s commented that during the past 14 months he had used potassium bromide to Hospital, Herston, successfully stop epileptic seizures in all but one of 14 or 15 women with ‘hysterical’ Brisbane 4029, Australia or catamenial epilepsy.

However examination of the original reports raises questions as to how soundly based the accounts of Locock’s comments were. Subsequently, others using the drug to treat epilepsy failed to obtain the degree of benefit that the reports of Locock’s comments would have led them to expect. The drug might not have come into more widespread use as a result, had not Samuel Wilks provided good, independent evidence for the drug’s antiepileptic efficacy in 1861.

This is often the result of All India Institute of Medical Sciences experiences shared by our colleagues world-wide, of common clinical conditions that present New Delhi - 110029, India in an unusual manner. Correspondence: The two major constituents of inflammatory bowel disease: Crohn’s disease (CD) and Dr. S. Datta Gupta ulcerative colitis (UC) have several overlapping features and their distinction in difficult Email: [email protected] cases is a true accreditation of the skills of a gastroenterologist. Indistinguishable cases are aptly labeled as indeterminate colitis. In certain countries such as India, additionally, colonic tuberculosis (TB) is a close differential of colonic Crohn’s disease mainly because both are recognized to show patchy involvement and granulomatous inflammation. In this issue of the journal, Shah SN, Amarapurkar AD, Thiruvengadam NR, Nistala S and Rathi PM1 highlight unusual presentations of ulcerative colitis that may make the diagnosis otherwise difficult. Non-contagious diarrheal diseases have been apparent to physicians over centuries having been described by Aretaeus (A.D. 300) and Soranus (A.D. 117).2 Sir Samuel Wilks in 18593 has been credited with introducing the term “ulcerative colitis” to a disease that was less understood then and perhaps even lesser understood today. It is likely that several clinically similar diseases may have been considered under this term. Thus it has been suggested that in 1745 Prince Charles, the Young Pretender to the throne, cured himself of ulcerative colitis by adopting a milk-free diet!2,4 Excellent descriptions have been provided by the Surgeon General of the Union Army (describing the medical history of the American Civil War), Wilks & Moxon (1875), Allchin (1885) and Hale-White (1888).

    SLATER V. BAKER AND STAPLETON (C.B. 1767): UNPUBLISHED MONOGRAPHS BY ROBERT D. MILLER ROBERT D. MILLER, J.D., M.S. HYG. HONORARY FELLOW MEDICAL HISTORY AND BIOETHICS DEPARTMENT SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND PUBLIC HEALTH UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON PRINTED BY AUTHOR MADISON, WISCONSIN 2019 © ROBERT DESLE MILLER 2019 BOUND BY GRIMM BOOK BINDERY, MONONA, WI AUTHOR’S INTRODUCTION These unpublished monographs are being deposited in several libraries. They have their roots in my experience as a law student. I have been interested in the case of Slater v. Baker and Stapleton since I first learned of it in law school. I was privileged to be a member of the Yale School Class of 1974. I took an elective course with Dr. Jay Katz on the protection of human subjects and then served as a research assistant to Dr. Katz in the summers of 1973 and 1974. Dr. Katz’s course used his new book EXPERIMENTATION WITH HUMAN BEINGS (New York: Russell Sage Foundation 1972). On pages 526-527, there are excerpts from Slater v. Baker. I sought out and read Slater v. Baker. It seemed that there must be an interesting backstory to the case, but it was not accessible at that time. I then practiced health law for nearly forty years, representing hospitals and doctors, and writing six editions of a textbook on hospital law. I applied my interest in experimentation with human beings by serving on various Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) during that period. IRBs are federally required committees that review and approve experiments with humans at hospitals, universities and other institutions.

Therefore, practicing prevention with this disease is particularly desirable. Significant changes in dietary intake during the past decades have been associated with the increase in incidence of UC. A meta-analysis of seven epidemiological studies found meat intake to raise the risk of ulcerative colitis by 47%. Consumption of fruits and vegetables have been found to significantly decrease the risk. A plant-based diet can significantly reduce the risk or relapse in ulcerative colitis patients, almost as effectively as the leading drug, Mesalamine. Changes in the gut microbiome can be a potential prognostic feature. Improved biodiversity when consuming prebiotic plant foods, resulted in a significant increase in fecal butyrate levels. Fish oil and essential fatty acid supplements have not been found to be effective in the treatment and or maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis. Treating the ulcerative colitis patient with a plant-based diet has no contraindications or adverse reactions, is affordable and can prevent and treat common comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease. Vitamin D deficiency is common in people with ulcerative colitisKeywords: and may be a contributing factor in the development of the disease and should be part of every workup.
