Morphology of the human larynx. II. The subglottis.

The macroscopic staining method was used to display and measure the epithelium of the human subglottic space. Small islands of squamous metaplasia were found in about 40% of the non-smoking, non-bronchitic urban population. There was no age or sex difference, although a highly significant decrease in size of the subglottic space was found in women throughout life.

Lactobezoar and cows' milk protein intolerance.

A baby girl of an atopic family who developed eczema, asthma, and cows' milk protein intolerance was found to have a gastric lactobezoar at age 9 1/2 months. She responded well to the removal of the bezoar and to the appropriate dietary treatment.

Ischemic colitis associated with carcinoma of the colon.

Two cases of ischemic colitis occurring proximal to carcinoma of the colon are described, with special reference to the barium enema and pathological findings. The association of these two conditions is rare but when present may cause some confusion. It is possible that the two lesions may, for instance, be considered to be both due to ischemic colitis, or mistaken for granulomatous colitis with a stricture.

Benign parotid swellings: a review.

The one common factor associated with the innumerable causes of benign parotid enlargement is xerostomia which influences the quantity and quality of parotid secretion and thus paves the way for duct obstruction and pyogenic infection.

An alcian blue-phloxine method for the gross demonstration of squamous metaplasia in the larynx.

A macroscopic method using the dyes Alcian blue and phloxine is described for the investigation of squamous metaplasia in the larynx. The method also demonstrates an intermediate type epithelium about which little is known. The gross staining of the tissues is based upon the differential penetration of the dyes through squamous, intermediate and respiratory epithelia, and on the strong chemical complex formed between Alcian blue and mucin. The method is particularly useful for research purposes owing to the permanency of the staining result.

Alcian blue method for the museum display of squamous metaplasia in the larynx.

The Alcian blue method is described as an alternative to the use of pyronin for the immediate post-mortem demonstration of squamous in the larynx. Alcian blue-stained specimens can be stored for prolonged periods in 4 per cent formaldehyde in normal saline without loss of contrast and used as wet specimens for teaching purposes. Alcian blue-stained larynges showing squamous metaplasia can be permanently mounted for museum display in either Kaiserling's or Wentworth's fluids.
