Cornell Conferences on Therapy

Abstract

This represents the 10th year in which the Conferences have been conducted. Selected ones have been published in the New York State Journal of Medicine and also in the American Journal of Medicine. Distribution of reprints has been discontinued since the initiation of publication of the Conferences in book form. This 3rd series preserves the style of previous volumes. It is a presentation by experts in the field, followed by free and informal participation of the audience at Cornell University and New York Hospital. In all, 15 conferences have been selected on the dose of a drug; an optimal routine for the management for congestive failure; uses of streptomycin and of protein hydrolysates; management of peptic ulcer with protein hydrolysates; treatment of pneumonia and of barbitrate poisoning; therapeutic uses of BAL; treatment of hepatic insufficiencies; management of pain due to muscle spasm; treatment of thrombophlebitis and of alcoholism; rational use of cathartic agents, and treatment of infection of the genitourinary tract.
