l reter0-sigmoidostomy is followed in a large proportion of cases by hyp, r-
chloremic acidosis. Two hypotheses have been held regarding its cause: fi r t, 
reab,;;orprion of urinary chloride by the sigmoid mucosa, and second renal dam; c 
incident to infection and obstruction producing functional derangement. 1 he 
rate.., of chloride ab1.,orption from the sigmoid were studied, and found to be in -
fluenced by chloride concentration, by the presence of phosphate, and, apparently, 
b)' the hydrogen ion concentration of the sigmoid contents. Formulae and ex-
amples are shown of the quantitative amount of chloride reabsorption. The 
frequent clinical observation of reversal of the acidosis by rectal tube drainage i 
evidence against the role of the kidney in this acidosis.

In 1949, rhe use of immediate intramedullary wiring in frac tures of t he rneta-
carpals was described. lntramedullary wire fixation is a method of treatment 
"'ell suited to fractures of the hand because the position of the fragments can 
Jlmost alwa , be palpated. There is no strong muscle pull, and the fracture~ 
can u,uall)· be reduced easily. The method has been used in 36 cases in the past 
t\\O year , with only one slight infection. The method is easily effected, afford~ 
<'Cellent fi,auon, and maintains full mobility of the rest of the hand.

.'ru<l~ of the temporo-mandibular joints calls for special roentgen technic and 
a thorough under"anding of the anatomy and physiology of these joints. 
The complaint of crepitation, snapping and disorder of movement of the rem-
poro-mandibular joints i, fairly common, and more attention should be devoted 
to their roentgen study. I\1anclibular movements are of hinge, gliding and rotary 
types. \ natomic types are the normal joint, the flattened glid ing joint, and the 
marlecl con,·~ joint. .-\ de...cription is included of the gross anatomy, and clinical 
finding a,~iatcd with di . ca . c and injury. The roentgenographic technic used 
i, dc,cr1bcd 1 and has hown the morphologic changes as ociated with injur)', 
arthritt,, and other dif.iea,c,.

at rhe junction of the first and second portions. Solem reported three case., with 
clinical signs of high obstruction. In none of his ca-.e-, was obsrru tion complete. 
!'his successfully operated case is of interest because of the extreme degree of

I 1l1uid oxygen tents have replaced the conventional type electrically cooled 
tents 1n the I lenry Ford I lospital since 1938. T rial and experirnent with rhe,e 
ha\'e been carried on since 19.1-L 
T wo model, of liquid oxygen tents, l\ lodel .-\ and B, have been perfected from 
the early types. l\ lodel A opetates on convection circulation which is adequate 
because the differential in temperature berween t he cooling chamber and the tent 
1, ,o large, i.e., 70°- 100° F. l\ lodel B makes use of a !.parkles"i motor ro circulate 
the air from the tent to rhe surface of the liquid o-<ygen in the six-gallon vacuum 
jJ.r, thus eliminating wicks and making thermostatic control easy and accurate. 
l·conomy 1, effected by small manufacturing co,r, low maintenance co.,r, low 
"erv1ce CO"it, and, finally, low cost of liquid oxygen.

The term "plasma expanders" is now used by the , rational Research Council 
and seem'- the logical name for this group of subst,111ce"i. The de..,irable properties 
of a plasma expander should include a molecular ..,i,e large enough for SO<, w

Vl"CO'iity comparable to that of plasma; a molecular <.,tructure allowing !-ilow metab-
oli..,m, bur not subject to prolonged t issue storage; freedom from pyrogenic, allergic , 
antigenic, or toxic properties; and reproducibility, and \tabiliry. T here are three
