The onset of this present illness may have occurred 13½ years ago when D.L. was of about 7 months' gestation in the uterus of his mother who had contracted chickenpox from her then 4- and 7-year-old children. Mrs. L. was severely affected with chickenpox and required hospitalization at Colorado General Hospital. She developed a confluent eruption over her entire body. She was febrile, delirious, and comatose for several days with chickenpox pneumonia, and was attended by Dr. C. Henry Kempe. Mrs. L. recalls that Dr. Kempe had requested that if her unborn child ever developed chickenpox he would like to hear about it.

Abstract: Herpes zoster is a reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) that affects the skin and mucosa. The incidence of herpes zoster increases with age. There are three main goals of treatment: overcoming the acute viral infection, relief from acute pain, and prevention of post-herpetic neuralgia. This study aimed to determine the profile of herpes zoster in the Dermatology Clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital for three years based on the number of new cases, gender, ages, dermatome locations, and treatment. This was a retrospective study using the medical records of the Dermatology Clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital during period January 2011- Desember 2013. The results showed that there were 96 (0.84%) herpes zoster patients of 11,367 new patients, consisted of 51 (53.11%) males and 45 (46.87%) females. The most frequent age group was 45-64 years with a number of 59 cases (61.46%). The most frequent dermatome location was on the left thoracic region with a number of 18 cases (18.75%). The most widely prescribed treatment was a combination of antiviral agent, analgesic drugs, roborantia, and topical medicine (powder/antibiotic cream), with a number of 43 cases (44.79%).Keywords: herpes zoster, morbidityAbstrak: Herpes zoster merupakan reaktivasi virus varicella zoster (VZV) yang menyerang kulit dan mukosa. Insiden herpes zoster meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya usia. Terdapat tiga tujuan utama pengobatan yaitu: mengatasi infeksi virus akut, mengatasi nyeri akut, dan mencegah timbulnya neuralgia pasca-herpetik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil herpes zoster di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado yang meliputi jumlah kasus baru, jenis kelamin, usia, lokasi dermatom, dan terapi. Metode penelitian ialah retrospektif dengan menggunakan catatan medis pasien baru herpes zoster yang berobat di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado selama periode Januari 2011 hingga Desember 2013. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan terdapat 96 (0,84%) kasus herpes zoster dari 11.367 pasien baru yang terdiri dari 51 (53,11%) laki-laki dan 45 (46,87%) perempuan. Kelompok usia terbanyak ialah 45-64 tahun sejumlah 59 kasus (61,46%). Lokasi dermatom tersering pada regio torakalis sinistra sejumlah 18 kasus (18,75%). Terapi yang paling sering diberikan ialah kombinasi antivirus, analgetik, roboransia, dan pengobatan topikal (bedak/cream antibiotika) sejumlah 43 kasus (44,79%).Kata kunci: herpes zoster, morbiditas

The Type I simple cold block device was described by Bullivant and Ames in 1966 and represented the product of the first successful effort to simplify the equipment required to do sophisticated freeze-cleave techniques. Bullivant, Weinstein and Someda described the Type II device which is a modification of the Type I device and was developed as a collaborative effort at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The modifications reduced specimen contamination and provided controlled specimen warming for heat-etching of fracture faces. We have now tested the Mass. General Hospital version of the Type II device (called the “Type II-MGH device”) on a wide variety of biological specimens and have established temperature and pressure curves for routine heat-etching with the device.

Ultrastructural alterations of skeletal muscle have been observed in adult chronic alcoholic patients. However, no such study has been performed on individuals prenatally exposed to ethanol. In order to determine if ethanol exposure in utero in the latter stages of muscle development was deleterious, skeletal muscle was obtained from newborn guinea pigs treated in the following manner. Six Hartly strain pregnant guinea pigs were randomly assigned to either the ethanol or the pair-intubated groups. Twice daily the 3 ethanol-treated animals were intubated with Ensure (Ross Laboratories) liquid diet containing 30% ethanol (6g/Kg pre-pregnant body weight per day) from day 35 of gestation until parturition at day 70±1 day. Serum ethanol levels were determined at 1 hour post-intubation by the Sigma alcohol test kit. For pair-intubation the Ensure diet contained sucrose substituted isocalorically for ethanol. Both food and water intake were monitored.
