TRANSMISSION OF POLIOMYELITIS BY PATIENT TO PATIENT CONTACT

For some years Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, chairman of the Epidemic Committee of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc., has believed that a coordinated and systematic field study of the epidemiology of poliomyelitis should be undertaken by a single group of well trained persons over an extended period. The opportunity for the beginning of such a study presented itself in the summer of 1945 when a special survey of poliomyelitis was organized in Chicago.1A case finding program was undertaken to (a) establish, if possible, the amount of unrecognized poliomyelitis in urban communities, (b) determine the relative incidence of the paralytic and nonparalytic forms of the disease, (c) investigate contact between cases in the spread of urban poliomyelitis and relate this, if possible, to the various age groups, (d) evaluate the roles of the nose, throat, mouth and feces, if any, in the transfer of the virus from

Study of Physical Medicine

ACCORDING to the Journal of the American Medical Association of December 25, the first centre for the scientific study and development of physical medicine as a branch of medical practice has been established by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis in the Graduate School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. The centre will include a department for development of physical medicine as a scientific part of the practice of medicine, a training centre for medical leaders and teachers in this branch of medicine, and a school for training technical workers. The departments of anatomy, physiology pathology and other basic sciences of the University of Pennsylvania will co-operate in this proposed programme.
