553. lappuse - Agglutinins begin to appear in the blood serum about the end of the first, or the beginning of the second, week of the disease, with low liters of 1 :20 to 1 :40.
299. lappuse - In such cases the hypersemia usually is limited to a very small circumscribed area, forming rounded or irregular red spots, varying in size from that of a lentil to that of a farthing, and is thus called roseola.
198. lappuse - ... in the constant current we have a means, more powerful than any other, of modifying the nutritive conditions of parts that are deeply situated. But I fear that the rationalistic and doctrinal teachings about galvanotherapeutics, which are recently so popular, and the attempts to make this so "exact," may interfere with moderate and experimental observation, and injure the popularity of an important remedy. In the same class as electrical treatment come the...
293. lappuse - In the worst forms of the disease the epidermis is in horny plates, and even forms warty or spinous projections. Hence a great number of subordinate varieties of ichthyosis have been recognized, ichthyosis simplex, cornea, hystrix, etc., which, however, are not varieties in kind, but merely in the degree of the disease. Certain parts of the body, the face, the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, the armpits, and the bends of the knees and elbows, are not attacked by the affection, while its...
196. lappuse - Many cases of neuralgia, which had \been previously treated without benefit by the most varied remedies, were completely and permanently cured in from twelve to twenty applications, or even sooner. In other cases no benefit or cure was effected. 3. The first sitting shows whether the neuralgia can be cured by the induced current. We can only expect a cure where the pain is decidedly relieved or entirely disappears immediately after the first electrization, even if it should only be for a short time...
310. lappuse - ETIOLOGY. — Herpes closely resembles erysipelas, in being an acute dermatitis arising from unknown causes. It differs from it, however, both in the abruptness of the limits of the inflammation and in its seat, which is confined exclusively to the most superficial layers of the skin. Hebra defines the various forms of herpes as " a series of acute cutaneous diseases of cyclical course, marked by an exudation which collects in drops under the epidermis and elevates it ; forming vesicles which are...
203. lappuse - Bruns, the operation (whose performance we will not describe) is indicated when the pain is very limited, and it is probable that its exciting cause is situated at a point beyond which the nerve is accessible to the knife, when other treatment has proved fruitless, and when the pain renders the patient unfit for business. There is also an indication to operate when we cannot hope to divide the nerve between the point of disease and the brain, but when the pain never occurs spontaneously, being always...
121. lappuse - PfSfers, or Ragatz. We must not hope that the destroyed filaments of the brain will be restored by the use of these waters, but experience shows that, at these places, both cerebral and spinal paralysis often improve ; probably this improvement is due to the favorable influence of the baths on the inflammation about the clot, and on that portion of the paralysis due to it Lastly, it cannot be denied that paralyses are generally improved by the employment of the induced current of electricity.
84. lappuse - In a third form of cerebral hyperaemia the mental symptoms predominate to such a degree that the disease is often mistaken, and, to the great injury of the patient, is sometimes considered as an attack of melancholy ; at others, as mania. In the former case, after a few days of headache, disturbance of sensibility, and sleeplessness, the patients are seized with an undefined feeling of anxiety and disquiet. They cannot stay long in one place, go about restlessly, are worried, and are conscience-stricken...
131. lappuse - ... brain-diseases, we find decided impairment of memory, dulness of intellect, disjointed frame of mind, if there be also trembling of the limbs, tottering gait, and other symptoms of gradually-progressing paralysis, we may diagnose chronic meningitis. TREATMENT. — There is no doubt that favorable results are sometimes attained by active treatment in acute meningitis with puro-fibrinous exudation. It is not generally proper to bleed from the arm, but we may apply leeches to the brow and behind...
