Carcinoma of the floor of the mouth. Successful results with monoblock resection and suprahyoid dissection in early lesions.

In 33 cases of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth, the lesions were classified according to the extent of invasion and involvement and a plan of surgical procedure was followed that fitted the operation to the classification.A monoblock resection plan for early intraoral lesions appeared to be quite satisfactory. It was used in two cases in which node involvement was not known until discovered in the pathologic specimen, but in neither case was there recurrence in a period of six years.

A device for prophylaxis of acoustic trauma.

Tests were made to determine whether protection against acoustic trauma was afforded by an ear-plug containing a valve designed to close under pressure of intensive noise. The hearing acuity of 34 persons was determined before they participated in target practice on a pistol firing range. Eighteen of them then wore the ear-plugs on the range and 16 did not. Hearing acuity was again determined after the target practice and it was noted that the loss of acuity was considerably less in subjects who had worn the plugs than in those who had not.
