JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWhile I often treated as a part of my practice the patients suffering from tumors in herd and neck which are actually important in the clinic of Otorhinolaryngology and Bronchoesophagology, I always wanted to have an opportunity to observe personally the head and neck service as practised in the United States which I came to know through medical literatures.
My opportunity came last fall when I visited the United States and through the kindness of Dr. William S. MacComb, Chief of Head and Neck Service, The University of Texas, M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute, I was invited to observe his operations.
I would like to offer here in Otologia Fukuoka the brief summary of my findings at Dr. Mac Comb's Head and Neck Clinic.
What I found unusual in comparison to my experience in Japan was that in Texas there was a large number of cases of cancer of the skin of the face. I was impressed with actual practice of Dacron arterial graft as well as pathological examinations by aspiration biopsy and frozen section during an operation. The methods in treatment which I found most enlightening are as follows:
1) Planned combination of surgery and radiation in treatment of advanced primary head and neck cancers.
2) Efforts to explaine and recommend an operation to the patient by a hospital expert and efforts to prevent as much as possible post-operative disorder and defects, so that the patients would easily accept the rational treatment.
3) Strict practice of follow-up cases so that recurrence, if any, can be accurately detected. The cases of recurrence thus detected can be recorded in detail which will be a valuable data in determining the method of treatment in the future.
At the end of my address. I would like to say a few words of gratitude here from Japan to Dr. MacComb and his staff Dr. Jesse who offered me their kind help in many ways.
I also am indebted to Professor Seiichi Kawata of Kyushu University and Dr. Shinji Yoshida, Fukuoka whose kindness has made it possible for me to have a presentation about Dr. MacComb's Clinic at 276th meeting of Kyushu district of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan and to have this paper published in the Otologia Fukuoka.View full abstractDownload PDF (7811K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe have so many drugs for the medical treatment in Ménièr's disease that we are troubled in clinically selecting.
The authors have investigated the autonomic nervous dysfunctions considered to be the cause of Ménièr's disease, and compared the mimetic drugs effective in their treatment with the results of the functional test of the autonomic nervous system in their cases. They found that Pilocarpin was effective in the attack of sympathicotony and Adrenalin in that of vagotony, and also that the stronger the tonus of the autonomic nervous function, the more remarkable was this tendency.View full abstractDownload PDF (588K) -

1) In 44.4% of the cicatrix cases of tympanic membrane of more than 15 years of employment, less disturbance for high tone level was observed compared with normal case.
2) In 28.6% of the perforating cases of tympanic membrane of more than 15 years of employment, less disturbance for high tone level was observed compared with normal case.
3) In the group of less than 14 years of employment, cases of the tympanic membrane cicatrix and perforation did not show much difference from normal cases in their hearing.View full abstractDownload PDF (772K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBeobachtung eines typischen Falles von sogenanntem “Granuloma gangraenescens”, das einen 31 jährigen Bauer in Bereichen der beiden Nasenhöhlen und des harten Gaumens betroffen hatte. Nadi ergiebiger Röntgenbestrahlung mit antibiotischer Behandlung sateen die Verfasser eine bemerkenswerte Besserung des lokalen Befundes und auch des Allgemeinzustandes. Das heisst, nach der Methodik von M. Dahm u. a. wurde die Oberflächendosis von 6, 240 r. auf der Wange bds.(ls. 3, 400 r., rs. 2, 840 r.) und 7, 748 r.(Chaoul) auf dem harten Gaumen, die in ca. ll Wochen fraktioniert wurde, bestrahlt.
Danach führte man die Radikaloperation der Sinuitis bds. aus, wobei makroskopisch und auch histopathologisch man keine spezifische Veränderung in der Kieferhöhle bds. ausser der gewöhnlichen chronischen Entzundung fand. Ein Jahr seit dein Krankheitsbeginn, sheint eine Ausheilung erzielt werden.
Diese Beobachtung und das Studium der Literatur geben den Verfassern Anlass zur Annahme, dass die Pathogenese der Krankheit sich um eine neoplastische Veränderung mit nekrophilem Charaker handelt.
Demnach, therapeutisch ist die Meinung der Verfassern, dass die fraktionierte ausgiebige Langzeitbestrahlung mit der Anwendung von Cortison und Antibiotika als am aussichtsreichsten empfohlen werde.View full abstractDownload PDF (3118K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe authors report a case of horizontal fracture of the maxilla. The Patlent, a man aged 19, complained of the subsidence and abnormal mobility of Proc. alveolares, after a desk had fallen on his face.

The fossa callina was revealed, the fracture was ascertained and replaced. The disconnected bone was fixated with a steel-wire driven in the maxilla.
Following Kuhn's bandage, the authors tentatively made a tractive fixing apparatus and applied it to the patient, s palate.
2 weeks after the operation, the tractive fixing apparatus was unfastened, and 3 weeks after, the steel-wire was drawn out from the fossa canina, and 26days after, the patient recovered his occlusion and could chew and talk freely without discomfort and left the hospital.
The authors considered the exterllal force which caused the fracsture and concluded that it was directed from left antero-superior toward right postero-inferior.
The reporters compared the operative reposition with the conservative one, in the fracture of maxilla and Kuhn's bandage with their tractive fixing apparatus.View full abstractDownload PDF (9701K) -
