The Scope of Neurology in the Nineteenth Century Diseases of Importance As the clinical specialty of neurology developed in America, the types of disorders cared for by the practicing specialist included a mixture of disorders considered today neurological and psychiatric. Under the direction of SW Mitchell, the Philadelphia Infirmary for Nervous Diseases maintained one of the most detailed sets of case books for the period, showing that in 1871, typical diagnoses included locomotor ataxia, hemiplegia, chorea, local palsies, convulsive disorders, neuralgia and encephalitis. A number of disorders were of particular interest to American neurologists and helped to establish United States neurology in the international arena. Post-traumatic neuropathies and neurological disorders among women were specialties of SW Mitchell, and Hammond was celebrated for his studies of insomnia and athetosis. B. Sachs developed an expertise in pediatric neurology and FX Dercum acquired much of his reputation based on his gait studies. Neurological Diseases The diagnoses contained in case books from the Philadelphia Infirmary for Nervous Diseases included locomotor ataxia, hemiplegia, chorea, local palsies, infantile palsies, adult paralysis, convulsive diseases, neuralgia, epilepsy, and encephalitis. In addition, there are several cases labeled malingering.

Green (go to French original Translator's Note I have made an explicit attempt to keep this translation as literal as possible, which accounts for some of its clumsiness in English. For instance, I have rendered " " as "articulated language" throughout, rather than as the perhaps more felicitous "spoken language," in order to maintain the technical style, and to distinguish it from the more colloquial " ." I have also refrained from using the seemingly more felicitous, but less precise, "articulate language." In addition, I have often used "ill people" for " malade s" rather than "patients," especially in the first half of the article, because it emphasizes their condition rather than their relationship to the physician. I have also tried to retain the archaic vocabulary as much as possible.

HOME HYGIENE LIBRARY CATALOG CHAPTER IX Diseases Of The Nervous System INTRODUCTION Influences That Lead to Nervous Diseases A. DISEASES OF THE SPINAL CORD I. LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA (Posterior Spinal Sclerosis) This disease is characterized by disturbances of sensations and incoordinations of the muscular system. Nutritive changes are also in evidence. There is also found degeneration of the root fibers of the dorsal columns of the cord. The disease means hardening of the posterior columns of the spinal cord. This hardening is on the order of arteriosclerosis. It is really a changing, so to speak, of the spinal corda premature aging of the nervous system. The symptoms all point to more or less degeneration of the brain, especially that part related to the cord. Etiology. The latter disease is one of a general giving down of the entire nervous system. The patients of the former may be brought back to very good health if they are willing to follow a rigid regimen for life. Men of no self-control will find the cards stacked against them at every turn, with either of these so-called diseases. The straight and narrow path is the only road to travel.

It is used as medicine in more than a hundred different forms. The nitrates, oxids, chlorids and iodids are Thou salts most frequently employed in medicine. Other preparations commonly used are. blue mass and calomel, and in syphilis the bichlorid, the yellow iodid and the red iodid. Still other preparations are cyanid, the yellow sub sulphate, mercury and chalk, the plaster and the iodid of mercury and arsenic, yellow wash, black wash, corrosive sublimate, etc. Effect of Drug from the Viewpoint of Natural Therapeutics In the first few years, after the mercury has been absorbed by the organism, and while it is "wandering" in the circulation and in the tissues, it shows in the iris, especially in the upper half, as a whitish film. After five or more years it begins to condense into a greenish crescent of metallic luster on the uppermost margin of the brain region in the blue eye and of bluish color in the brown eye. In serious cases this greenish rim may extend all around the outer margin of the iris. The metal, on account of its deteriorating effect upon the skin, also greatly broadens and intensifies the scurf rim. (Color plate, Fig. d,

Diagnosis: 1) Tabes Dorsalis 2) Ectatic basilar artery A Review of Tabes Dorsalis Amit Verma, M.B.B.S. Chief Resident, Department of Neurology Tabes Dorsalis is a late meningoradiculitis caused by treponema pallidum Epidemiology Pathogenesis Pathology In the early stages, a lymphocytic and mononuclear infiltrate is seen in the meninges. These inflammatory reactions may involve the cranial nerves and can cause degeneration of the axons. When the inflammation involves small meningeal vessels, proliferation of the endothelial lining occurs, resulting in vascular compromise and infarction of brain and spinal cord tissue. Similar findings are seen in tabes dorsalis where the inflammation of meninges and blood vessels is followed by degeneration of the posterior roots and posterior fiber columns of the spinal cord and, sometimes changes are seen in the cranial nerves. This explains the multiple symptoms seen in this disease. The pathological hallmark of the disease is inflammation of the meninges and the nerve roots. The lower spinal cord roots are most commonly involved. There is atrophy and loss of myelinated fibers in the posterior columns, secondary to root pathology. In late untreated cases the inflammation spreads to the anterior roots and atrophy may then be seen in the distribution of the affected roots. Clinical Features The disease is sometimes called progressive locomotor ataxia. The varied clinical features represent the extent of involvement of the brain, cranial nerves and spinal cord. The initial symptoms consist of diplopia due to paralysis of the 3rd, 4th, or 6th cranial nerves, irregular pupils, paresthesia and hyperesthesia. Pupillary abnormalities are present in 90% of patients. The characteristic pupillary abnormality, which is seen 50 percent of the time, is the

Terug HOME PAGE Alternatief Centrum BAANK-RUITER Uw aanleg voor ziekten door de Sterren onthuld ofwel MEDISCHE ASTROLOGIE zie ook bij GENEZENDE EDELSTENEN Ieder mens is geboren met een aanleg voor bepaalde ziekten. In de horoscoop is dat duidelijk waarneembaar. De bewijsvoering dat die aanleg aanwezig is kunnen we destilleren uit de geschiedenis van vroegere epidemiën.Bij grote epidemiën als de pest, builenpest, tyfus, cholera of de Spaanse griep werd niet een gehele bevolking uitgeroeid maar bleven velen in leven, ja zonder zelfs ziek te worden. In de horoscopen van overlevenden is duidelijk aantoonbaar dat zij onkwetsbaar voor de ziekte(n) waren. Net zo duidelijk is de kans op ongevallen of bijvoorbeeld om vermoordt te worden. Dit alles is gebleken uit studie van tienduizenden horoscopen van mensen gestorven door ziekte of geweld. Er zijn 12 sterrenbeelden. Dat wil echter niet zeggen dat de wereldbevolking verdeeld is in twaalf groepen, maar die twaalf groepen kunnen wel een grove indicatie geven over ziekteaanleg. Voor een absoluut betrouwbare conclusie is uiteraard de gehele persoonlijke horoscoop van belang. Tegenstanders van de astrologie vallen astrologen er altijd op aan dat de mensheid niet in twaalf groepen is verdeeld. Nu dat is ook niet zo want niemand is op dezelfde plaats geboren nog op exact dezelfde tijd. Iemand in Australië geboren op bijvoorbeeld 28 augustus 1933 om 13.35 uur heeft een geheel andere horoscoop dan een Amsterdammer met dezelfde geboortedatum en geboortetijd, met andere woorden het is een geheel ander mens.

The purity is, of course, true love. taste aside, Potter is simply, unabashedly smitten with everything to do with Moxie the word; the idea, the history, the spirit, the promotional stunts, the songs, the scandals, the collectibles (much better than Coke "the creme de la cream of soda pop collectibles"), the whole mise-en-scene, if you will, of American pep. I don't know Potter's politics and couldn't care less, but as with all obsessive ardor there's a secret, tangy yearning that could be subversive: "Hot dogs, baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet are fine as far as they go," he writes in a preface, "but moxie goes deeper, wider, higher. Let's hope its mystique will never die." I'm a seltzer man myself (martinis on the side), but I tell you, I'm entranced.

The art of suffering Few knew that for the last 12 years of his life Alphonse Daudet, the popular 19th-century French novelist, was wracked by the effects of syphilis, which he described in a notebook. Julian Barnes, who has translated his account into English for the first time, celebrates a masterpiece of quiet stoicism Julian Barnes Saturday May 11, 2002 The Guardian In 1883 Turgenev had an operation in Paris for the removal of a neuroma in the lower abdomen. The doctors gave him ether rather than chloroform, and so he was conscious throughout the intervention. Afterwards, he was visited by his friend Alphonse Daudet, with whom he had often dined in the company of Flaubert, Edmond de Goncourt, Zola and others. "During the operation," Turgenev told him, "I thought about our dinners and tried to find the right words to convey exactly the sense of the steel slicing through my skin and entering my body... It was like a knife cutting into a banana." Goncourt, recording this anecdote, commented, "Our old friend Turgenev is a true man of letters." If Daudet dined in the highest company, he was also a member of a less enviable 19th-century French club: that of literary syphilitics. Here again, he is somewhat overshadowed: the Big Three were Baudelaire, Flaubert and Maupassant. Daudet probably ranks fourth equal with Jules de Goncourt, Edmond's younger brother. He could at least claim that the syphilis he acquired, shortly after his arrival in Paris at the age of 17, came from a classier, indeed more literary, source than theirs. He caught it from a lectrice de la cour, a woman employed to read aloud at the imperial court. She was, he assured Edmond de Goncourt, a lady "from the top drawer".

Ancestors of Claud Earl Stevens Ancestors of Claud Earl Stevens Generation One Claud Earl Stevens ( Clement , #2) was born on 3 Apr 1897 at Drakesville, Davis Co., IA. He married Marguerite Kathryn Kennedy, daughter of James Milville Kennedy and Agnes Shannon, on 1 Jan 1922 at Grand Junction, Mesa Co., CO. He died on 23 Jun 1993 at Escondido, CA, at age 96. He was buried on 28 Jun 1993 at Valhalla Cemetery, North Hollywood, Los Angeles Co., CA. He was Mechanic. He began military service on 16 Feb 1918 at Grand Junction, Mesa Co., CO. He was in military service with the American Expeditionary Force in France under the 17th Balloon Company between 21 Oct 1918 and 3 May 1919. He ended military service on 21 May 1919 at Camp Funston, KS. He was described as 5' 7", with blue eyes, brown hair, and ruddy complexion circa 1920. He and Marguerite Kathryn Kennedy resided between 1972 and 1992 at Laura Shawn Lane, Escondido, CA. When Claud was about 18 years old his father told him to shoe a mule. When he finished, he told his father he didn't want to be a blacksmith and would never shoe another animal again. His father told him if he didn't want to be a blacksmith he should leave. With that Claud walked to Grand Junction and got a job as an automobile mechanic at a garage owned by Ford Motor Co. He worked for Lockheed in Burbank, CA as a mechanic during World War II and again in the 1950s until he retired from there in the 1960s. Generation Two Clement A.

Chemistry of semen, spermatozoa and brain Neurasthenia and lecithin deficiency Download the full text version of this report Neurasthenia and lecithin deficiency That neurasthenia is the result of lecithin starvation of nerve cells, due to sexual withdrawals of lecithin, is indicated by Dr. Bernard Talmey, eminent American sexologist, in a paper entitled, "Sexual Problems of Today, with a Case of Hysterical Insanity Caused by Excessive Masturbation," in which he writes: "The percentage of neurasthenia of sexual origin is so large that it is always well in the presence of this anomaly to look for sex as a fruitful cause. *There is an intimate relation between the genitals and the head*... The two perversions, masturbation and onanism (congressus interruptus of Onan) are oftener the cause of the general breakdown than excesses in normal sex life. Of these two, masturbation is the more dangerous because its practice usually begins in the immature child, and if indulged in to excess, leads to fatigue and exhaustion of the central nervous system." On the same subject, writing on the causes of nervous debility, Dr. Frederick Humphrey says that it "is almost invariably the result of some drain upon the vital forces, such as excesses of various kinds: excessive morbid indulgence, involuntary losses of vital fluids, too long and too constant excitement of the sexual system, and more especially when such indulgences are allowed in connection with mental and physical overwork. Nervous debility is often brought on in young persons by the habit of masturbation, which, if persisted in from time to time, is inevitably followed by consequences immediate and remote, and are of the most formidable character. It is safe to say that multitudes are every year brought into the most deplorable condition of nervous debility from these very pernicious practices alone."

Motor Control Research on Ataxia By Greg Burd and Adrienne M. Schaefer Philosophy PE Rationale PE Links Home Page ... Resume The purpose of this paper is to explain the conditions associated with several types of ataxic disorders. This paper will also briefly explain causes and diagnosis of numerous ataxia's, with proposed treatments as detailed in the literature. Tabes Dorsalis Ataxia-Telangiectasia (the Louis-Bar syndrome) The median age for diagnosis is somewhere around 78 months, and usually occurs after the onset of gait abnormalities. It is common for physicians to misdiagnose this disease as cerebral palsy. Physicians rely on telangiectasia to make a diagnosis, and this could be well after ataxia has truly set in (Cabana et. al.; 1998). Early diagnosis of the Louis-Bar syndrome is important so that families have the option of genetic counseling, as well as alerting physicians to possible immunodeficiency and the need to limit exposure to ultraviolet light and diagnostic radiographs (Cabana, et. al.; 1998). Frederick's Ataxia Although the course of the disease is slow, it is progressive. Spontaneous remissions occur rarely, and ordinarily there is almost complete incapacity, confining most victims to wheelchairs by age 20.
