Abstract

A clinical survey of 688 patients revealed an incidence of Arnold's reflex in 1.74% of a general otolaryngology clinic population. There was no definite age, sex, or racial correlation found. The reflex was found unilaterally as well as bilaterally and in each canal quadrant, which is contrary to the previously described distribution of the nerve to the posterior and inferior parts of the canal. There was no predilection of a positive reflex with any particular ear disease.

[Palliation for respiratory syndrome].

Respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, coughing, bronchorrhea, hemoptysis and death rattle are a common problem in palliative medicine. Their prevalence increases markedly in terminal phase oncological patients. In such cases, new therapeutic methods with lower toxicity and well documented efficiency in the control of respiratory syndrome should be considered.

Reconstruction of the inventory of materia medica used by members of the Jewish community of medieval Cairo according to prescriptions found in the Taylor-Schechter Genizah collection, Cambridge.

The Taylor-Schechter (T-S) collection at Cambridge University Library is the biggest of all Cairo Genizah collections in the world. The importance and the potential of research into the medical aspects of the Genizah documents were clear to researcher since the early 1960s. A few works have been published since, usually focusing on one subject, or even important single manuscripts. The current research concerned mainly with one aspect of the history of medicine of the Jewish community of Cairo (as a reflection of Eastern medieval societies), namely the practical uses of natural substances for medicine. The most interesting and original information is undoubtedly to be found in the 141 prescriptions, as they reflect the medical reality that actually existed. And indeed, 242 substances were recorded in the prescriptions identified: 195 substances of plants origin (80.6%), 27 inorganic materials (11.2%) and 20 substances of animal origin (8.2%) were recorded as being in practical used for medicinal purposes. The most frequently mentioned substances were the rose, myrobalan, sugar, almonds, and endive. The most prevalent ailments: eye diseases, headache, constipations (purgative), cough, skin diseases, stomach, fever, gynaecological problems, haemorrhoids, liver ailments, lice, swellings, dental trouble, ulcers, and problems of the urinary tract.
