“…American neurologist S. Weir Mitchell first characterized CRPS in American Civil War soldiers with major penetrating nerve injuries as "causalgia" from the Greek causos (heat) and algia (pain) [35,36], and in 1900 Sudeck first identified its effects on bones and joints [37][38][39]. In 1946, Evans described similar distal limb symptoms in patients without known nerve injuries that he called "reflex sympathetic dystrophy" [40].…”

The best-known peripheral neuropathies are those affecting the large, myelinated motor and sensory fibers. These have well-established immunological causes and therapies. Far less is known about the somatic and autonomic "small fibers"; the unmyelinated C-fibers, thinly myelinated A-deltas, and postganglionic sympathetics. The small fibers sense pain and itch, innervate internal organs and tissues, and modulate the inflammatory and immune responses. Symptoms of small-fiber neuropathy include chronic pain and itch, sensory impairment, edema, and skin color, temperature, and sweating changes. Small-fiber polyneuropathy (SFPN) also causes cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and urological symptoms, the neurologic origin of which often remains unrecognized. Routine electrodiagnostic study does not detect SFPN, so skin biopsies immunolabeled to reveal axons are recommended for diagnostic confirmation. Preliminary evidence suggests that dysimmunity causes some cases of small-fiber neuropathy. Several autoimmune diseases, including Sjögren and celiac, are associated with painful small-fiber ganglionopathy and distal axonopathy, and some patients with "idiopathic" SFPN have evidence of organ-specific dysimmunity, including serological markers. Dysimmune SFPN first came into focus in children and teenagers as they lack other risk factors, for example diabetes or toxic exposures. In them, the rudimentary evidence suggests humoral rather than cellular mechanisms and complement consumption. Preliminary evidence supports efficacy of corticosteroids and immunoglobulins in carefully selected children and adult patients. This paper reviews the evidence of immune causality and the limited data regarding immunotherapy for small-fiberpredominant ganglionitis, regional neuropathy (complex regional pain syndrome), and distal SFPN. These demonstrate the need to develop case definitions and outcome metrics to improve diagnosis, enable prospective trials, and dissect the mechanisms of small-fiber neuropathy.

“…S. Weir Mitchell served as a Union Army physician in Philadelphia and helped manage a number of wounded, particularly from the battle of Gettysburg. Although beyond the scope of this article, Mitchell 60,61 described in detail the presentation, management, and follow-up of missile injuries to nerves and the spinal cord. On the Confederate side, a surgeon named Felix Formento 30 documented his experience with gunshot injuries to the head and echoed sentiments similar to Macleod.…”

The contemporary management of projectile head injuries owes much to the lessons neurosurgeons have distilled from their experiences in war. Through early investigation and an increasingly detailed account of wartime clinical experience, neurosurgeons-including the field's early giants-began to gain a greater understanding not only of intracranial missile pathophysiology but also of appropriate management. In this paper, the authors trace the development of the principles of managing intracranial projectile injury from the Crimean War in the 19th century through the Vietnam War to provide a context that frames a summary of today's core management principles.

“…W roku 1893 brał udział w objętej tajemnicą interwencji chirurgicznej, której celem była resekcja szczęki prezydenta Grovera Clevelanda z powodu nowotworu. W roku odkrycia promieni X wydał on swoje rozważania na temat zastosowań promieni Roentgena w chirurgii [63][64][65][66][67]. n 1888 Byrom Bramwell (1874-1931), angielski chirurg, napisał traktat poświęcony guzom wewnątrzczaszkowym [68,69].…”

Niniejsze zestawienie chronologiczne stanowi wybór znaczących wydarzeń w historii medycyny bezpośrednio lub pośrednio związanych z chorobą nowotworową. Przyczynkiem do powstania tego opracowania był fakt, że ukazało się dotychczas stosunkowo niewiele zestawień chronologicznych dotyczących historii onkologii, a spośród tych opublikowanych wiele nie ma przywołanych źródeł i nie przytacza lat życia lekarzy, chirurgów i badaczy. Autor ma zatem nadzieję, że poniższy, uporządkowany w czasie i opatrzony wykazem piśmiennictwa wybór wydarzeń i postaci będzie szczególnie pomocny dla wszystkich, którzy bardziej szczegółowo piszą o historii medycyny, a o historii onkologii w szczególności. Annotated biographical bibliography with special reference to cancer Part 5 From Heinrich von Waldeyer-Hartz (1836-1921) to William Halsted (1852-1922)This chronology is a selection of important events in the history of medicine which are directly or indirectly related to neoplastic disease. The reason underlying its compilation is that relatively few chronologies concerning oncology have previously been published and those that do exist do not always quote references or provide the dates of birth and death of the physicians, surgeons and scientists mentioned. It is hoped that this selected chronology will be of help to those writing in depth about the history of medicine and in particular about cancer.
