Questions and Answers about C. P. S

Frozen foods for skin testing were prepared, stored and used by a simple, practicable, and inexpensive method.The capacity of raw foods to produce immunologically positive skin reactions by the scratch test method was reaffirmed.Storage in the frozen state for several months and thawing immediately before using for one series of tests did not affect the allergenic properties of the material.Raw foods were found to be innocuous to the skin and non-urticariogenic in allergic as well as in non-allergic persons.Raw foods, by the scratch test method, induced true positive reactions of a larger size and in greater numbers than the corresponding commercial extracts in the same series of subjects tested.

Several patients with poliomyelitic paralysis of the muscles used in normal breathing learned a method of breathing consisting of pumping air into the lungs by action of the mouth, cheeks, tongue, pharynx and larynx.The advantages of the method are that the patient can be out of the respirator and on a conventional bed for longer periods, can talk longer and louder, is more easily cared for, and is better able to engage in interesting occupations.

THE C.P.S. ADMINISTRATION

There is no doubt that cancer cells do enter the circulating blood of persons with malignant lesions. Differentiation of them from other atypical cells found normally in the bloodstream is at present being studied.Investigators have expressed belief that most of the circulating malignant cells in the early stages of the disease are destroyed by host resistance. Surviving cells, however, develop into occult metastatic emboli which may remain quiescent until host defenses collapse. Clinical measures for the active control of these dormant implants have not been evolved as yet.Inasmuch as the mechanism of host resistance is still beyond clinical comprehension, the only known way to improve survival rates is the universal application of practical clinical methods for preventing iatrogenic disseminations, for devitalizing malignant cells and for apprehending emboli that may have left the main lesion just before surgical operation.Since it adequately eradicates primary sources of cell dissemination, conventional radical resection is still the treatment of choice for dealing with early solid neoplasms.
