Syphilis: an otolaryngologic perspective.

Early syphilis incidence has been increasing in the United States for the past several years. The post-antibiotic generation of physicians has generally been inadequately trained to recognize the varied manifestations of this disease, yet can expect to encounter it on a more frequent basis in the near future. A literature review of otolaryngologic presentations and the problems of diagnosis and treatment are presented as an aid to the recognition and management of this disease.

Naval aviators admitted to a Naval hospital.

This paper discusses the hospitalization of aviators at the Naval Regional Medical Center, San Diego, Ca. The areas covered include cancer, trauma, cardiac cases, alcoholics, and the effect of hospitalization on the flying status of aviators. The variety of diagnoses accumulated in 2 years was suprising. Further follow-up of cardiac cases must be pursued, especially post-coronary artery bypass. Alcoholism as a diagnosis in hospitalized patients may be a larger problem than elicited in this series. Hopefully this paper will not be just a statistical study. We should think of prevention and care to decrease the number of aviators who have their wings clipped due to medical problems.
