Mortality from Rheumatic Heart Disease in Children and Young Adults in England and Wales

In the last few years considerable attention has been paid to the rheumatic diseases and, in particu lar, rheumatic fever. Glover (1943, 1946) has shown that the mortality from the latter has declined considerably in the last sixty years and that recently this decline has been accelerated. On these grounds he called acute rheumatism an obsolescent disease. In contrast, Morris and Titmuss (1942), Parkinson (1945), and Ryle (1946) have called attention to the heavy toll still taken by rheumatic heart disease, and to the fact that adolescents and young adults are its main victims. Considerable local and regional differences in the mortality from rheumatic heart disease have been observed in England and Wales (and also in mor bidity), and in an attempt to determine the aetiology many workers have related these differences to social and environmental conditions. Poverty has been among the chief factors incriminated. Reports issued some twenty years ago by the Ministry of Health (1927) and the Medical Research Council (1927) agree that acute rheumatism rarely attacks the children of well-to-do parents. Morris and Titmuss hold the view that the whole complex of poverty is involved in the production of juvenile rheumatism, and Daniel (1943), in his study of rheumatic heart disease in Bristol, concluded that there was a significant association between its incidence and low family income. The suggestion in the Medical Research Council's report that the incidence was greatest in the artisan class is suppor ted by Wilson (1940) but denied by Morris and Titmuss. Bad housing has also been condemned as a cause of acute rheumatism, but the evidence incriminating dampness, ill-ventilation, living in basements, and other features is not clear. Overcrowding is often associated with bad housing, and some authorities have held this factor to be important. In the

PROGRESS IN ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY FOR 1946 A Review Prepared by an Editorial Board of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

IN A REVIEW of the literature on arthritis, one finds less enthusiastic reference to chrysotherapy. There is more discussion of physical therapy and its application in the treatment of patients. Surgical procedures are more clearly defined, and chronic arthritis is becoming recognized as a social problem. SPECIAL TYPES OF ARTHRITIS The problem of tuberculous rheumatism is brought up again. Sheldon 1 reports that he observed 6 cases in eight years. Primary and secondary forms are seen. In the primary form arthritis precedes the appearance of the tuberculosis. In the secondary form tuberculosis is interrupted by arthritic manifestations. There may be arthralgia, acute rheumatism or chronic arthritis which resembles rheumatoid arthritis. Acute rheumatism resembling rheumatic fever was observed in 4 children. Eight patients with tuberculosis and manifestations in the joints were followed by Seligson. 2 The manifestations were not thought to indicate tuberculous infections of the joints, and tubercle bacilli were

Abnormalities of the electrocardiogram which are often seen in acute rheumatic fever have also been recorded in other diseases such as pneumonia, diphtheria, influenza, brucellosis, and typhoid. The value of the electrocardiogram in the diagnosis of myocarditis is well established.1It is generally accepted that increase in the PR interval frequently occurs in acute rheumatic carditis.

PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF INCIDENTAL ACUTE SOMATIC DISORDERS IN THE COURSE OF PSYCHOSES

INFECTIOUS diseases may at any period of their evolution create psychotic disorders of various characters. But they may also have a favorable influence, even of years' duration, on preexisting mental disorders. It is the latter aspect of the relationship that will be considered here. As far back as 1844 Jacobi,1and in the next few years von Rienecker, Griesinger, Neumann, Kraft-Ebing, Regis, Kraepelin, Fielder2and others, reported a satisfactory influence of incidental disease on the course of the original psychosis. The psychotic disorders which have thus been benefited are of wide variety; mental depression; hyperkinetic and expansive states of manicdepressive psychosis; persecutory delusions of the paranoid type; delusive and hallucinatory states of dementia precox; agitated states of involutional melancholia, and psychasthenic episodes. Of the incidental disorders influencing the original psychoses, the following have been recorded: exanthematous diseases, acute inflammatory rheumatism, suppurative conditions and trauma to the cranium.

Cinq Cas De Leucémie A Manifestations Principalement Arthralgiques Ou Ostéalgiques

SummaryReport of five cases of leukemia in which pains in the bones or joints were at one time the main symptom of the disease. The patients were three girls, 8, 9 and 10 years old, and two boys, 9 and 15 years old, living in or near Brussels.A survey of the literature shows that these pains occur also in adults, but not so frequently as during the growth-period. The clinical picture with joint-pains and fever can be so misleading that acute rheumatism is often first diagnosed. Other cases have been mistaken for acute osteomyelitis or for Still’s disease. What frequently increases the diagnostic difficulties is the fact that the leukemias, particularly in children, are often not accompanied by an increased total white count and that the morphological characteristics of the leukemia-cells existing in some of these cases are not always recognised by the untrained observer. The pain can persist for a long period of time; frequently it disappears spontaneously after 4 or 5 days and recurs after a period of va...

Acute Rheumatism

<h3>Summary</h3> Signal transduction at vertebrate excitatory synapses involves the activity of ionotropic glutamate receptors, including the AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoaxazole propionate) receptor. Technical advances in cryo-electron microscopy have brought a slew of full-length structures of AMPA receptors, on their own and in combination with auxiliary subunits. These structures illustrate a wide range of conformations, indicating that individual domains might undergo substantial lateral and rotational motions during gating. Here, we used bifunctional methanethiosulfonate cross-linkers to calibrate the conformations that occur in functional AMPA receptors both in the presence and absence of the auxiliary subunit Stargazin. Our data indicate that receptors without auxiliary subunits have considerably more conformational freedom and can get trapped in relaxed conformations. In contrast, Stargazin maintains both activated and desensitized receptors in compact arrangements. Thus, auxiliary subunits not only change the kinetics and trafficking of receptors, but also restrict their structural dynamics.
