Treatment of keloids with Triamcinolone Acetonide injected intralesionally

ATROPHY is a well-documented dosage-dependent side effect of the injection of repository corticosteroids into skin. 1,2 However, like certain noxious by-products of chemical manufacture, side effects of drugs in the exceptional circumstance may have their own virtue and be deliberately sought after.

Report of a Case A 9-year-old, Negro girl was first seen in the Dermatology Clinic of the University Hospital, June 1961. In January 1954, she was burned on the lower face, neck, and shoulders by hot grease spilled from a kitchen stove.

Partners in Science

THIS Westinghouse anniversary, which brings together such eminent authorities in pure science, research, education, government, engineering, and industry, makes timely a discussion on how the activities of those in these various fields of endeavor affect one another. We are all strongly aware that our present-day, highly complex, material civilization was predominantly derived from the fundamental research and engineering of the past and the future growth, depends upon present and future research and technological application. In the past, development in the Machine Age depended upon the application of scientific knowledge collected for years by scientists and applied by a few geniuses such as George Westinghouse. Today, this slow method of technological development will no longer suffice. Watt and his teakettle are replaced by men highly trained in thermodynamics and superacoustic gas flow. Goodyear and his kitchen stove are succeeded by men with knowledge of statistical mechanics of long* chain polymers...

Margaret Fuller's Schooldays in Cambridge

M R. TAYLOR removed his olive-green greatcoat and sat down to wait for his pupil.' Being somewhat irregular himself in his arrivals for music lessons, he was not a little impatient at having to waste his time in waiting for a tenyear-old girl. It would be much more valuable to rehearse a glee with Augustus Peabody for the next Philharmonic concert in Boston. But then, Margaret Fuller was not an uninteresting child despite the fact that she played merely because her father wished her to do so. It was strange, Mr. Taylor thought, how Timothy Fuller's influence could be felt in Cambridgeport even though at the moment he was probably demanding the floor in the National Congress. That match in the lamp brackets, the wood covered with ashes on the parlor hearth, were undoubtedly evidence that Timothy remembered the cold of Cambridgeport even during his heated polemics against the slaveholding Crawford. Mr. Taylor turned to glance at the flat-topped bureau with its plum cake and oranges and wine-gifts surely from an ever thoughtful father. The smoking of the kitchen stove was just about to irritate the sensitive music instructor and remind him of his

Sterilization of Rubber Gloves by Boiling

To the Editor: —The method of sterilizing rubber gloves described by Dr. Ray Ernest Smith inThe Journal, Oct. 18, 1913, p. 1475, is a good one when only one examination of the patient is required. I, however, prefer to boil them. I know then that they are absolutely safe. I put the gloves into a small pan of water, place it on an ordinary kitchen or oil stove, and let them boil a few minutes. This I do while I scrub my hands and arms with soap and water, using no antiseptic whatever. I allow cold water to run into the gloves to dislodge the hot, and draw them on while they are distended. After each examination I put the gloves back into the hot water and give them another boil. Frequent boiling of rubber gloves does not impair their quality if they are not roughly handled and if

The Physics Teacher's Problem

THAT physical science is constantly rendering most magnificent service to human life was never more dramatically demonstrated than on the occasion of the recent wreck of the steamship Republic. That a ship, disabled and hidden in a dense fog, was yet able to summon to its aid another ship a hundred miles away by an inaudible, invisible, yet infallible means of communication, thereby saving many hundred lives, is a feat that would have been pronounced impossible by our grandfathers if not by ourselves but a few years ago. Had Mr. Binns, the operator of the wireless telegraph on the Republic, lived near Boston about two hundred and twenty years ago, he would surely have been burned for witchcraft. So thick and fast have come such contributions of science to our commercial and economic life, that most people now take them as a matter of course. A telephone is at present almost as much of a household necessity as a kitchen stove. The steam engine and the electric motor, since by their aid ten men can do the work of one hundred, are increasing our potential manufacturing population at a rate that must satisfy even President Roosevelt that we are in no immediate danger of dying out as a nation. Musicians are being replaced by arc lights, or by pianolas; and even teachers are being compelled to yield their divine calling to graphophones in the teaching of foreign languages. Are we then surprised that this is called a scientific age? Do we wonder that scientists are 1Address delivered at the Fourth Annual Conference of the Schools of Vermont with the University of Vermont, March 12, 1909. I -. . _ -_. I --
