He had, it seemed, been riding behind a cab, and had somehow slipped, with his leg between the spokes of the wheel. When brought into the hospital, it was found that the end of the femur, covered only by its articular cartilage, was projecting out of the soft parts. The skin was cleanly torn, all round, a Tery little way above the flexure of the joint. The popliteal vessels were of course exposed in the wound, but did not bleed. Notwithstanding the little hemorrhage, he was in a state of great depression, and had suffered some severe injury about the pelvis. As this injury, however, did not affect the treatment of the case, and as examination in that part gave great pain, it was not further investigated. On examining the severed leg, it was found that the capsular and crucial ligaments of the knee had been torn close to their insertion into the femur, and the extensor tendon torn away from the patella, leaving that bone attached to the tibia. The most extraordinary feature in the irnjury, however, was that the whole length (as it appeared) of the sciatic nerve remained attached to the leg. The length of nerve above the knee-joint was 191 inches, while the length of the leg was 10 inches only; and the cord terminated above in two smaller branches, which were judged to be parts of the","PeriodicalId":88830,"journal":{"name":"Association medical journal","volume":"153 1","pages":"970 - 971"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1856-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78214840","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}

Mr. STANLBY had two cases of hernia recently under his care, which demonstrated very clearly the advantges likely to accrue from opening the sac or not opening the sac in specific varieties of the same disease; and showed that perhaps, after all, we must be guided very much by hospital experience, rather than any abstract rule. J. B., aged 54, was admitted into Lucas Ward, Sept. 26th, wit.h strangulated femoral hernia. The strangulation, from the account given by her friends, had existed for nine or ten days, during which interval there had been no operation on the bowels, and there had been constant sickness and vomiting. On her admission, Mr. Stanley noticed that, even with this formidable history, the countenance Was still tranquil, the tongue clean, the pulse unaltered, and the patient manifested less anxiety than one would be led to expect. But as the strangulation had existed so long, Mr. Stanley believed it better to operate at once, as the taxis had failed, and to open the sac. Accordingly, as soon as the patient was broug,ht under the influence of chloroform, the operation was performed, the sac opened, the intestine returned, and a piece of adherent omentum left in the sac, as it might form a plug to prevent subsequent descent of the bowel. Cases like this are very often seenl in this and the two Borough hospitals; and where the intestine has not been injured by rough handling out of doors, such cases do well, even with the sac opened. A young man, aged 30, was admitted on October 1, with femoral hernia. It had been down only six hours. The symptoms were mild; there was no vomiting; very little tension or pain; the pulse quiet. This patient having heard of deaths from chloroform, could not be persuaded to take it. Mr. Stanley accordingly, after placing the patient in a warm bath. found that the intestine would not go up, and therefore determined to operate; hut, as the intestine was sound, to operate witiont openinq the sac. An incision was made in the upper arid inner part of the thigh, dividing the fascia propria and coverings, with some bands of fascia between this point and Poupart's ligament. The intestine at once went up. Both cases have done well.","PeriodicalId":88830,"journal":{"name":"Association medical journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"972 - 975"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1856-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89649223","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}

In the convulsionIs of children, I never omit dashing cold water upon the head and face. The shock, sometimes, acts most beneficially. In conclusion, convulsions of children are a class of disease most distressing to the friends and to the medical man. No class of disease requires more prompt and energetic treatment; or, in my opinion, in the generality of cases, is more amenable to trcatment. No disease so much requires the unwearied attention of the medical man, nor, if successfully treated, gives more satisfaction to the friends.","PeriodicalId":88830,"journal":{"name":"Association medical journal","volume":"32 1","pages":"978 - 980"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1856-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85027645","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}
