Although multiple factors (Boyd 1970, Ors 1974) may underlie tumour formation, there may be an ever-present agent which is the central or key factor in this process. It seems likely that oncogenic viruses play a central role in tumour formation, a role which thus may be likened to that of bacteria in infections. Irrespective of the validity of mutational theory, genes seem to be the keystones of tumoral process. And whatever the ultimate results of research in tumour causation may reveal with regard to the role of viruses in the process, the possibility of an etiological role for viruses has stimulated much valuable work. It has been observed in viral carcinogenesis that the virus loses its independent existence and becomes invisible as it combines with the genetic material (Boyd 1970). There is indeed a possibility that viruses may be transmitted to the offspring and later generations through heredity by their incorporation into the structure of genes. If this were proven, the concept of disease and the theory of evolution would become inseparably united. Such proof, together with evidence in favour of the hypothesis that mutation and the appearance of a new species are due to a viral infection of the genetic structure in the former species makes the topic of nucleic acids in biological evolution particularly interesting (Ors 1974). A far higher proportion of the total incidence of cancer may be environmentally induced than had earlier been suspected (Haddow 1971). In the light of the evolutionary approach, the concept of environment assumes a more comprehensive and dynamic significance. Furthermore, what is called a 'genetic mechanism' in cancer may be, in certain cases at least, a viral (hence, in the last analysis, an environmental) factor. The concepts of cancer, environment and evolution have thus become united in a satisfyingly coherent way.","PeriodicalId":76359,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine","volume":"70 1","pages":"754 - 755"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/003591577707001102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64930791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an alternative charcoal tablets have been suggested, but since the adsorptive powers of charcoal depend entirely on its surface area, compression into tablet form destroys the whole object of its use. The other property required of an all-purpose antidote, which charcoal lacks, is the ability to neutralize acids or alkalis. There have in the past been attempts to prepare a universal antidote. Indeed, Martindale's Extra Pharmacopoeia lists a preparation under that very name containing charcoal, magnesium oxide and tannic acid, the last two constituents being intended to neutralize acids and alkalis respectively. However, Picchioni (1974) and Hayden & Comstock (1975) report that universal antidote is inferior to charcoal alone as an antidote, and advise that as a remedy it should be discouraged. The present situation is that there is no generally acceptable all-purpose oral antidote against ingested poisons that does not have serious theoretical or practical limitations on its use. The nearest approach is activated charcoal BP, which has the approval of many authorities. But practical considerations make it difficult to recommend as a regular pre-packaged component of first-aid kits. My conviction is that further work is needed to devise a remedy that would avoid the practical disadvantages of charcoal but retain its virtues. Perhaps activated aluminium oxide could form the basis for such an antidote. It combines both high adsorptive qualities with amphoteric properties that could be useful in neutralizing either acid or alkali. The addition of liquid paraffin to the preparation would also provide a medium which might dissolve some organic chemicals and in theory could reduce both gastric motility and gastric absorption. Such a brew would have more consumer appeal than charcoal, would combine adsorption and neutralization and, if prepackaged for addition to first-aid kits, would be less likely to end up in the afternoon cup of tea than evaporated milk. The need for developing such an antidote is reinforced by the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act, which requires the supplier to provide information on the potential health hazards of a market product with advice on appropriate first-aid treatment to protect against it. Although the induction of vomiting by first aiders is an unreliable and sometimes hazardous procedure, there are a few chemicals which are so toxic and rapidly acting that death will follow if they are not evacuated from the stomach immediately. Two examples are sodium cyanide, which is a common industrial processing reagent, and some of the more active organophosphorus compounds, such as Phosdrin. For sodium cyanide the oral antidote is a mixture of the familiar solutions A and B which act by rapid intragastric conversion of the cyanide ion to a harmless inactive form. It is a great pity that the Health and Safety Executive no longer advise its use in their revised cyanide poisoning ","PeriodicalId":76359,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine","volume":"129 1","pages":"772 - 778"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/003591577707001107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64930850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, it may be that the previous exposure to barbiturates had been too long ago to leave residual sensitivity. However, only 5 % of the surgical population were known to have been exposed to Althesin previously, whereas in those reacting to Althesin approximately 50% had been so exposed. This suggests that previous exposure to Althesin may be a causative factor in hypersensitivity reactions to this agent. In summary, these data suggest a positive association between a history of allergy and hypersensitivity reactions to anesthesia. There is slight evidence to suggest that previous exposure to barbiturates is relevant to reactions to thiopentone, but reactions to Althesin do occur more commonly in patients who have been exposed to Althesin than would be expected by chance.","PeriodicalId":76359,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine","volume":"82 1","pages":"784 - 788"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/003591577707001110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64930982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
