CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS ON ESSENTIAL HEMATURIA

Observations on essential tremor.

Essential tremor, which is also known as familial tremor or, when it appears for the first time in old age, as senile tremor, has attracted interest out of proportion to its incidence or importance as a cause of disability. Critchley, surveying the subject in 1949, was able to provide over 100 references to the literature. This interest stems from the unusual features of the condition. It is no...

I wish to thank Miss E. M. Dean, Laboratory Technician to New End Hospital, for her careful compiling of statistics and records; Mr. J. E. Andrews, L.C.C. Medical Photographer and fina...

Clinical Observations on Terramycin *†

In a recent report, Finlay, Hobby, and their collaborators1 have described a new crystalline antibiotic, terramycin, isolated from broth cultures of a new actinomycete, Streptomnyces rimosus. In vitro studies8 of terramycin and its salts have shown that this antibiotic in low concentrations is a highly effective bacteriostatic agent against a wide variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bact...

Clinical values of urinary IL-6 in asymptomatic renal hematuria and renal hematuria with proteins

Renal hematuria is caused by glomerular disease. Under pathological conditions, the distribution of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in kidney tissue is abnormal and urinary IL-6 levels are increased. Abnormal IL-6 secretion promotes the hyperplasia of mesangial cells and matrix and, thus, affects the permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane. Therefore, the detection of urinary IL-6 levels in pat...
