This is Part 3, Membranous Catarrh Of The Intestines. This a masterly treatment of Colitis from the Clinical Treatises on the Pathology and Therapy of Disorders of Metabolism and Nutrition.
Preface To The American Edition Part III. Memberanous Catarrh Of The Intestines- For many years I have been occupied, with my assistants and pupils, in an exhaustive study of the disorders of metabolism and nutrition. The result of this work has been a number of short essays publi...
Membranous Catarrh Of The Intestine (Colica Mucosa) And Its Treatment- I. Pathology. a. Various Views Expressed Colica mucosa (syn. colitis pseudomembranacea, membranous catarrh of the intestine, myxoneurosis coli) is difficult to characterize and to classify among the ...
b. Von Noordens Theory about Colica Mucosa- Before discussing the point of view that I occupy personally, it will be necessary to give a brief sketch of the disease-picture presented by colica mucosa, or rather it will be necessary to delineate...
c. Individual Symptoms - Colica Mucosa- Among individual symptoms I must discuss the two cardinal signs of the disease, viz.: evacuation of mucus and the attacks of pain. I have already mentioned that the excreted mucus may assume differen...
d. The Character of the Mucus and Mechanism of the Attacks - Colica Mucosa- The only remarkable difference between the mucus of colica mucosa and other intestinal mucus is the fact that the former contains fewer cellular elements than the mucus in catarrh of the intestine (N....
II. Treatment For Colica Mucosa- When dealing with a typical case of colica mucosa, of the kind that we have delineated above, the method of treatment is self-evident. It can be subdivided into symptomatic treatment of the attack, an...
b. Causal treatment of Colica Mucosa- As all the text books teach, can be subdivided into the treatment of the intestine and the treatment of the general nervous affection. It will depend upon the individuality of the therapeutist whether...
c. A Coarse Laxative Diet Best for Colica Mucosa- In place of giving sufferers from colica mucosa a diet that is bland and that leaves little residue, one of us (von Noorden, 16) some five years ago advised, on the basis of long experience in the tre...
d. Massage of the Large Intestine - Colica Mucosa- Another adjuvant to the treatment is massage of the large intestine, particularly of the sigmoid flexure. It is well known that many physicians who have had much experience in the treatment of disease...
e. Normal Action of the Bowels Indispensible - Colica Mucosa- One goal above all must be attained - i. e., the action of the bowels must be rendered normal not only for the time of the cure but for all time. By normal bowel action we understand regulation of...
f. Form of Diet Recommended - Colica Mucosa- In the morning in bed, at seven o'clock. - Three-tenths of a liter of milk and cream (two parts of milk and one part of thick sweet cream, ordinarily O. Rademann's sterilized Holstein cream); then, us...
III. Review Of The Cases Treated- One of us in 1893 reported twenty-three cases of colica mucosa (von Noorden sixteen) that were treated according to the method that we have just described in detail. To this number must be added, if w...
IV. Table Of Cases- Complete success of the treatment in 79% of the cases. Incomplete success in 15.8%. Permanent success in 50%. Relapses in 13.1%. Unknown in 15.8%. Failure in 5.2%. We may add to these small stat...
V. Conclusions To Part III. Memberanous Catarrh Of The Intestines- (1) Typical colica mucosa occurs almost exclusively in subjects who have been suffering for a long time from constipation (usually so-called ob stipatio spastica) or in subjects who still suffer from ...
