There are at least 30 described anatomical triangles, many of which receive eponymous names. Some are of marked importance and well known e.g. Scarpa's femoral triangle, Hesselbach's inguinal triangle, and Petit's lumbar triangle; others are of relatively minor importance and not so well-known e.g. Elau's, Friteau's and Assezat's triangles. 1966-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/43219 Title: Otitis media in children Abstract: Otitis medla in children is one of the more important problems of the diseases of the ear. So much of the future well-being of these children depends upon accurate diagnosis land prompt treatment, and so much harm may result from bad treatment that the condition should be familiar to every doctor. Indeed, many of these cases, if treated promptly and energetically by the family doctor, may not come to the otologist at all, except perhaps to assess if any damage has resulted from the disease or to treat a known causative factor. 1966-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/43218 Title: Drug treatment in psychiatry Abstract: Modern drug treatment in psychiatry dates back only ten years when Delay and Deniker in France introduced Chlorpromazine. This followed the observation of the anesthetists that patients under the influence of this drug, though fully conscious of the surroundings, became indifferent to the surgical procedure. In 1952, Swiss scientists analysed and synthesized Reserpine, a drug which had been used for centuries by Indian physicians for the relief of high blood pressure and insanity. Berber introduced Meprobamate in 1954 and Kuhn observed the euphoriant effect of Imipramine in spite of the drug's structural resemblance to Chlorpromazine. In 1957 Kline reported his observation that tuberculous patients put in Iproniazid, a substance related to I.N.A.H., became very elated irrespective of their clinical condition. It will be noted that these break-throughs were due to keen clinical observations. 1966-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/43217 Title: A short history of virology Abstract: When W.W.C. Topley and G.S. Wilson in their famous textbook, as long ago was 1936, prophesied that "the years ahead of us will be t'he eighteen eighties over ,again", referring to the great age of bacteriological discovery, they were, like all prophets, risking their reputation. In fact they have been right perhaps even beyond their expectations for at that time both the electron microscope and tissue culture methods were still in their earliest days. Virology has progressed with gigantic strides and it has now not only shed light on previously obscure medical problems but provided the biologist and the geneticist with tools with which to pursue many fundamental studies. 1966-01-01T00:00:00Z
