Unfortunately, the majority are too toxic for therapeutic use. Penicillin was derived from a fungus, Penicillium notatum, and, so far, it is the only therapeutically significant antibiotic of fungal origin. Nearly all the newer antibiotics are produced by soil actinomycetes. The Streptomyces, which belong to this group, have yielded Streptomycin, Chloromycetin, Aureomycin, Terramycin, and the very recent Neomycln and Viomycin. 1951-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/42579 Title: The recognition of hypochondriasis in general practice Abstract: In hypochondriasis the patient is preoccupied with the idea that he is suffering from some serious organic disease, and complains of diverse somatic symptoms for which, On physical examination, no organic basis can be found. Hypochondriasis may mask various psychiatric syndromes such as schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive states or depression; sometimes it accompanies some physical disability, such as deafness, or follows a general infection, such as influenza. In the great majority of cases, however, it occurs alone, uncomplicated by the presence of physical illness or mental disorder. 1951-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/42578 Title: Ocular brucellosis Abstract: Research work and clinical observations have proved long ago that the Brucella group of microorganisms may give rise to pathological changes in the eyes. Fabian in 1912 performed experimental work on guinea-pigs and described a deep Keratitis from which he was able to isolate these germs. In 1928 Orloff described the pathological changes in eyes of guinea-pigs which died of Melitensis infection. These findings, both pathologically and clinically, were similar to those occurring in ocular tuberculosis. 1951-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/42577 Title: The Manchester operation Abstract: Prolapse is such a common disabling condition that it is no wonder it has attracted the attention of the medical world ever since the time of Galen. It is only in comparatively recent years that it has to come to be realised that the real cure for it is surgical. The operations that have been devised are legion. Two factors may be said to have contributed to this, namely, the complexity of the lesion and the nature and mechanics of the uterine supports, which until recently were little understood. In Great Britain the operative treatment has been standardised and the routine procedure is the Manchester operation. 1951-01-01T00:00:00Z
