Based on the study of each individual case and their aggregate, on the desire to note and assess the observed symptoms and applying an individual approach to the development of this topic, we hoped to get at least a few valuable touches and move further from the dead center very many questions of the unresolved problem. Hence, their schemes for study proposed by many authors will become clear; but often a kind of clinical picture does not fit into a ready-made framework; it is necessary with a greater degree of certainty, in accordance with their experience and the prevailing conditions of work, to create still new ones others. A collective study of all the available material on cancer and will create an accurate and informed judgment for the further fight against it. The foregoing served as an incentive to study 203 inpatiently conducted cases of cancer (3.4%) out of 6000 of all surgical patients who passed from 1923 to 1917 inclusive.

As a specialty within a specialty, child psychiatry has now a well-established place in psychological medicine. Yet differences commonly exist between the practice of child and adult psychiatry which seem greater than can be attributed solely to differences inherent in their respective subject matter. A particular instance is the general emphasis in child psychiatry on individual diagnosis, with little attempt at categorization as compared with adult psychiatry. However, Cameron (1955) has drawn attention to the limitation of the growth of knowledge imposed by a lack of clear description and some classification of the manifestations of disturbance in the child. He considers it essential to focus attention on the manifest clinical picture. Again, Kanner (1957) in his diagnostic formulations, attempts in a few words to describe the main features of the clinical picture as well as the factors considered to be of aetiological importance in the individual case. There remains however, the difficulty of attempting to classify the presenting symptomatology, though some success in identifying patterns of maladjustment has been obtained by statistical methods (Hewitt and Jenkins, 1946; Lorr and Jenkins, 1953; Collins, Maxwell and Cameron, 1962).

The clinical picture and therapy of chronic enterocolitis is undoubtedly one of the most difficult chapters in the pathology of the gastrointestinal tract. These difficulties are further aggravated by the fact that it is often necessary to treat these patients on an outpatient basis, which does not allow for a thorough clinical examination. Meanwhile, the study of the pathogenesis of each individual case to a certain extent provides and predetermines the success of therapeutic intervention.

The article studies the issues of nutritional support and its optimization for various types of energy deficiency in surgical patients with acute pancreatitis. The author presented the results of his own study, which included patients with moderate and severe acute pancreatitis. Patients are divided according to the type of energy deficiency (enzymatic, hypoxic, substrate, hypermetabolic). An algorithm for differential diagnosis of energy deficiency types and associated nutritional support is presented. The author achieved an effective individualized nutritional support for patients with acute pancreatitis.

There are four lysosomal diseases of which the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is the rarest. The clinical presentation and their characteric abnormal ultrastructure subdivide them into four types. These are known as the Infantile form (Santavuori-Haltia), Late infantile form (Jansky-Bielschowsky), Juvenile form (Batten-Spielmeyer-Voght) and the Adult form (Kuph's).An 8 year old Omani girl presented wth myclonic jerks since the age of 4 years, with progressive encephalopathy, mental retardation, ataxia and loss of vision. An ophthalmoscopy was performed followed by rectal suction biopsies (fig. 1). A previous sibling had died of an undiagnosed neurological disorder with a similar clinical picture.

Abstract In most cases of shoulder injury at work, causation analysis is not clear-cut and requires detailed, thoughtful, and time-consuming causation analysis; traditionally, physicians have approached this in a cursory manner, often presenting their findings as an opinion. An established method of causation analysis using six steps is outlined in the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine Guidelines and in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Disease and Injury Causation, Second Edition, as follows: 1) collect evidence of disease; 2) collect epidemiological data; 3) collect evidence of exposure; 4) collect other relevant factors; 5) evaluate the validity of the evidence; and 6) write a report with evaluation and conclusions. Evaluators also should recognize that thresholds for causation vary by state and are based on specific statutes or case law. Three cases illustrate evidence-based causation analysis using the six steps and illustrate how examiners can form well-founded opinions about whether a given condition is work related, nonoccupational, or some combination of these. An evaluator's causal conclusions should be rational, should be consistent with the facts of the individual case and medical literature, and should cite pertinent references. The opinion should be stated “to a reasonable degree of medical probability,” on a “more-probable-than-not” basis, or using a suitable phrase that meets the legal threshold in the applicable jurisdiction.
