The beginnings of urban ambulance service in the United States and England.

Urban ambulance systems emerged in the second half of the 19th century as an outgrowth of military experiences in both Europe and America. Developing first in cities such as Cleveland and New York, these systems quickly adapted to the urban environment, and modifications in ambulance construction and procedures soon followed. Since first-aid texts for urban ambulances were rare, military texts on battlefield medicine were adapted to emergency medicine in civilian accidents.

Gradenigo syndrome as presenting sign of T-cell lymphoma.

Gradenigo syndrome is an uncommonly observed neurologic complex consisting of cranial nerve VI palsy associated with the loss of the sensory component of cranial nerve V. We report a patient whose presentation with Gradenigo syndrome led to the unexpected diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma and briefly discuss Gradenigo syndrome and intracranial lymphomas.

Effects of anticonvulsant drug therapy on bone mineral density in a pediatric population.

Twenty epileptic outpatients, aged 5-20 years and taking either phenobarbital or phenytoin for anticonvulsant therapy, were evaluated for femoral neck area bone mineral content and bone mineral density using dual photon absorptiometry. Duration of treatment averaged 51.4 months (range, 9-124 months). A group of 20 normal children who were matched for age, sex, and race served as controls. There were no statistically significant differences between the femoral neck area bone mineral densities of the epileptic patients as compared to the controls. There were also no correlations between duration of anticonvulsant therapy and bone mineral density, nor any differences in bone mineral density values when comparing epileptic patients taking phenobarbital with those patients taking phenytoin.
