From October unJune no one can go in or out of Kingand (Fig. I).ln most of these villages the Alaskantive Service, which is part of thereau of Indian Affairs, maintains a school. The "one-teacher" schools areusually staffed by a couple, one of whomis classed as a "special assistant" andthe other as "teacher." Between themthey teach the usual grade-school routine, supervise the supplementary nutrition program (which is often enoughwhat enables the populace to survive).evaluate the welfare needs and make outrequests, take the census, supply information to the Game Commission, to theFish and Wildlife Service, to the SocialSecurity Administration, and to theWeather Bureau, act as counselors forthe native-owned stores and for thereindeer herders, operate the schoolplant, including the lighting system,radio, etc., and run the health program,which includes everything from first aidto obstetrics.The usual village consists of theschoolhouse, the native store, a huddleof driftwood and tar-paper shacks, and/ or native-style sod igloos. The style ofhouse varies from place to place, butthe houses are all poor, dirty, andcrowded (Figs. 2 and 3). Usually thereis only one room and a storm shed, andthe dwelling is occupied by eight, ten, oreven more persons. The litter is indescribable, for these people neither "putthings away" nor dispose permanentlyof anything that is discarded. Here andthere are racks on which fish, whale meat,seal intestines, skins, etc., are drying.Underneath, and all about, the scores ofdogs are staked. Since there are no provisions for sanitation, and since thereare no springs or wells, drinking wateris a major problem. For the winter, iceand snow are used, and in the permafrost areas blocks of ice are stored forsummer in the cellars hacked out of thefrozen mud.

Adair FoundationFormedThe American Committee on Maternal Welfare, Inc., announced on November 8, at a dinner given in honor ofDr. Fred L. Adair, the establishment ofthe Fred L. Adair Foundation, in recognition of his lasting contribution to theimprovement in the care of the mothersand babies of the world. Dr. Adair wasMary Campau Ryerson Professor andchairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Universityof Chicago and chief of service at Lyingin Hospital for thirteen years.This foundation is a fund-raising subsidiary of the American Committee onMaternal Welfare, Inc., formed to facilitate the collection of donations for research and education in better care forall women, particularly in reference totheir reproductive functions, and infantsbefore and after birth. The AmericanCommittee on Maternal Welfare, Inc.,with offices at 1I6 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, is a national organizationwhich includes medical groups and public health and nursing organizations. Itsmembers are representatives of twentysix separate societies, for which it actsas a co-ordinating agency.Dr. Adair served as chairman of theJoint Maternal and Welfare Committeefrom its founding in 1937 until becoming its honorary chairman in 1948. Hewas also president of the AmericanCommittee on Maternal Welfare, Inc.,since its incorporation in 1934, after fifteen years of operation as an unincorporated committee with Dr. Adair as itschairman.We have available some copiesof the Yearbooks for 1944 through1948 which we should be glad tosend to anyone who wishes one,for the cost of mailing so memoriammrs. JSasH i1tar\1�The announcement of the death ofJanet Holt Harvey on February 5, 1951,was received with sorrow by her manyfriends in the Medical School. As thewife of Dr. Basil Harvey she dedicateda large part of her long life to the wellbeing of its students and faculty. Thosewho most needed friendship were thosewho received hers most readily, and,when situations were most trying, heropinions were most courageous and influential. Because of her, many students from out of town and newly appointed faculty members soon were participating in the activities of the University and had a feeling of belonging.And partly because of her courage largedecisions involving more than individuallives were more easily and firmly made.A memorial service for Mrs. Harveywas held in Thorndike Hilton Chapel,and many faculty associates, friends,and former students attended. Fittingly,one of the memorial addresses was givenby Dr. Dallas B. Phemister, but thewhole Alumni Association of the Schoolof Medicine of the University of Chicagoextends its deepest sympathy to Dr.Harvey.Q:harlrs,1. Q:la!!,tonDr. Charles F.

SCHUKNECHT, M.D.Some of the difficulty regarding investigation of the cochlea has been due tothe small size and fragility of the senseorgan and its inaccessibility within thepetrous portion of the temporal bonewhich is the hardest bone in the body:It has also been a problem to test thefunction of the cochlea in experimentalanimals because hearing is a purely sub[ective sensation.Members of the ear, nose, and throat:lepartment of the University of Chi:ago have been particularly interestedn otological problems of a clinical na.ure and have been engaged in variousihases of otologic research in the labo·atory. Over twenty years ago the laboatory was equipped for the preparationmd study of histological sections of thenner ear, thereby providing for thetudy of histopathology of 'the innerar in the human as well as in the ex'e�mental animal. The technique of preiarmg the temporal bones for microcopic study involves certain special.roblems because of the necessity of deaicifying the dense bony capsule withut distorting the membraneous strucures of the sense organ within. Duringhe last twenty years a number of im. ortant contributions to inner-ear pathlogy in the human have resulted fromlese studies. Over the same period theistopathologic studies have been an imortant part of most of the experimen-11 studies made on the ear in animals.. method of recording and visualizing the pathologic changes which are seenon microscopic sections consists in making a diagrammatic reconstruction ofthe cochlea from the serial sections ongraph paper. It is then possible to plotthe changes which are seen in the various structures in their correct locationon the graphic reconstruction.Certain technical aids have been developed in recent years which havegreatly aided research work on the innerear. For instance, the cochlea can bevisualized with the aid of a binoculardissecting microscope having a built-insource of illumination. The dense petrous bone can be removed with a highspeed dental drill. The administration ofpenicillin aids in preventing postoperative labyrinthitis in animals subjected toinner-ear surgery.By using conditioned responses, expenmental psychologists have developeda very reliable method for testing hearing in experimental animals. A methodfor acquiring such behavioral audiograms on cats has been developed to arefined technique by members of the Department of Experimental Psychologyat the University of Chicago. Close cooperation with the members of thisgroup by the otolaryngology departmenthas made it possible to collaborate onseveral research projects. The methodfor developing the conditioned responsesto auditory stimuli may be briefly described as follows. The objective is totrain the cat so that, when it is in thecustomary rotating cage, it will stepforward whe� it hears a sound signal,thereby causing the cage to rotate a short distance. An easily audible puretone is first presented for three secondsand immediately followed by an electrical shock of one second duration.When the animal has learned to respondto the tone with a forward movementthe shock is omitted except for occasional reinforcement. Sensory generalization is marked so that responses arereadily established to frequencies in therange of 60 to 16,000 cycles per second.The intensity of various stimulus tonesis d.ecreased gradually by 5 decibel stepsdunng repeated tests until the thresholdfor hearing is established. Audiogramsacquired by this method are as accurateas those obtained on human patients.Because of these research tools, it isbecoming possible to carryon inner-earinvestigation with rewarding results.One of the problems recently investigated which utilized the conditioned responses to sound was the cause of deafness which follows a blow to the head.The hearing loss is of the nerve typea.nd most severe for the high tones, partlcul.arly for the frequency of 4096 vibrations per second. In the experimentten conditioned cats were subjected tohead blows. The postconcussion audiograms of these animals revealed hearinglosses identical with the type found inhuman patients. Gross and microscopicstudies failed to reveal significant pathology in the brains or middle ears. Thecochleas were serially sectioned andgraphically reconstructed. There was atraumatic degenerative lesion involvingthe organ of Corti, being most severe inthe upper part of the basal coil. Thechanges resemble those which resultfrom a loud blast in air. It appears thata blow to the head produces an intensebone-conducted sound wave which likethe blast in air, causes violent displacement of the basilar membrane on whichrests the organ of Corti. Irreversiblecellular injury is the result.How to discriminate tones of differentpitch is a fascinating subject for investigation. It is clear that the inner earplays a role in frequency analysis. It isknown that a lesion at the basal end ofthe cochlea causes a hearing loss forhigh frequencies. There has been littleconvincing evidence, on the other hand,that low tones are analyzed in the apexof the cochlea. A method, therefore, wasdeveloped for creating small lesions inthe apex in chronic experiments on cats .After the bony capsule was thinned witha dental drill, a very small needle wasused to enter the cochlea. A flap ofhealthy middle-ear mucosa was thenlaid over the fistula. It was possible to[Continued on p. 714 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINLeukemia and MyeloidMetaplasiaBy MATTHEW BLOCK, M.D.Department 01 MedicineMyeloid metaplasia is a clinical andpathologic syndrome of varied etiologywhich is characterized by the constantoccurrence of extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen and almost alwaysin the liver. This myeloid metaplasia isessentially similar to that seen normallyin mammalian embryos and in manyadult mammals and also is similar tothat which may be produced in othermammals under a wide variety of experimental conditions.Myeloid metaplasia occurs both as aprimary disease without known etiologyand also as a secondary development.The latter follows space-occupying marrow lesions (metastatic carcinoma,marble bone disease, myelofibrosis) aswell as polycythemia vera and tuberculosis. The histopathology of myeloidmetaplasia is essentially similar regardless of the varied etiology.Clinically the syndrome is manifestedby weakness, splenomegaly, a bleedingor bruising tendency, and an absence ofsignificant lymphadenopathy. The whitecount may vary from extremely low toextremely high levels, and the differential resembles that seen both in acute orin chronic leukemia; consequently, mostcases are diagnosed as leukemia. Athrombopenia is invariably present.A positive diagnosis is made by thedemonstration of the characteristic areasof myeloid metaplasia in sections ofsplenic or hepatic tissue obtained bybiopsy of the spleen or liver. In theseareas there are foci of erythroblasts andmegakaryocytes. The diffuse hyperplasiaof a single cell type or single lineage socharacteristic of leukemia is not seen.Myelofibrosis of the marrow is frequent,particularly in the burned-out stages ofpolycythemia vera. The finding of amyelofibrotic marrow or a marrow yielding an acellular smear upon aspirationshould make one suspect the validity ofthe diagnosis of leukemia, since in thelatter the marrow is almost invariablyextremely cellular.Prognosis is variable, depending onthe etiology. Most of the nontuberculous and noncancerous types have achronic course of thirteen to thirtyyears. Splenectomy, irradiation, or anyagent tending to decrease hemopoiesisin the spleen is contraindicated, sinceevery effort should be made to maintainthe hematopoietic function of the spleen.However, occasional cases of fairly longsurvival have been reported after splenectomy or irradiation.REMEMBER TOPAY YOUR DUES FURTHER STUDIESON ACTHMetabolic Effects of ACTHand the Protection ofthe PatientBy DELBERT BERGENSTAL, M.D.Department 01 MedicineThe profound effects of ACTH onmany physiological processes becomevery apparent when, following administration of ACTH, nearly all the pathological physiology seen in Cushing's syndrome may be observed. The effects ofACTH on these physiological processesare spoken of as "toxic" or "side effects" when they become apparent during, and interfere with, the treatmentof some disease state. When "side effects" are permitted to continue uncontrolled, the life of the patient may beendangered.The more important of the physiological processes altered by administrationof ACTH are as follows:I. Electrolyte balance characterizedby loss of potassium and retention ofsodium and water. A metabolic alkalosisresults and is reflected in blood changesof elevation of CO2, pH, and hypochloremia and hypopotassemia.2. Carbohydrate metabolism reflectedin lowering of renal threshold for glucose and development of insulin-resistant "steroid" diabetes.3. Protein metabolism characterizedby development of negative nitrogenbalance when patient is on a constantdiet.4. Psychological responses have beenobserved varying from euphoria to psychosis and convulsions.5. Other effects such as hypertension,acne, hirsutism, rounded facies, and cutaneous striae, have been observed.Marked increase in weight is frequentlyseen. A leucocytosis with increase inpolymorphonuclear cells may result. Theeosinopenia that is observed is frequently used as a criterion for effective doselevel of the drug. All these changes areusually reversible.Following withdrawal of ACTH, insome cases there have been observedweakness, weight loss, polyuria, nausea,vomiting, and hypotension-symptomsfrequently seen in adrenal insufficiency.It has been felt that slow reduction indosage level of the drug will minimizethese withdrawal symptoms.For adequate protection of the patient, it is necessary to be able to evaluate as many as possible of these "sideeffects" during therapy with ACTH. Thewide variation in the degree of responseof individuals to ACTH makes it necessary to treat each case individually. The Effects of ACTH 01Diseases of the SkinBy STEPHEN ROTHMAN, M.D.Pro lessor 01 DermatologySince the advent of ACTH it has become possible to check hyperacute exacerbations of disseminate lupus erythematodes which previously were invariabl:fatal. By surviving the critical phasethe patient has gained the chance' to glinto remission or into the more or lesquiescent subacute phase.Similarly, exacerbations of chronilupus erythematodes which often progress to frank dissemination can bchecked by ACTH. The manifestationof the chronic form themselves shovspectacular regression under ACTItherapy.ACTH obviously does not cure lupuerythematodes, but in many cases iprolongs life quite considerably and enabies the patient to live in a very satisfactory condition.Similarly in pemphigus vulgaris, alotherwise invariably fatal disease, tbdisease process can be arrested even ilits terminal phases. Although recurrences have been reported immediatel:following cessation of ACTH therapwith eventual fatal outcome, so far ouown limited experience seems to indicatthat in some cases symptomless remissions can be maintained for severamonths either without any therapy 0with small maintenance doses of ACTIlACTH has also proved to be lifesaving in other conditions besides pernphi gus in which large surfaces are deepithelialized, such as exfoliative dermatitis of the pityriasis rubra Hebrae typeTreatment of Leukemia illChildren with ACTHBy MILA PIERCE, M.D.Department of PediatricsThis paper will deal with the effectof ACTH in sixteen cases of leukemia ichildren treated at the Bobs RobertHospital since January I, I950.

IJmust often travel several miles inlandfor potable water.Obviously, the medical care which ispossible is limited and primitive. Most,although not all, areas have assigned afield nurse to them. The area covered byan individual nurse is often so largethat to visit each village once a year isan achievement. Nevertheless, the nursesdo a remarkable job in instructing andhelping the native midwives, in consulting with the teachers, who must neces-Fig. 2.-Driftwood and sod igloo at PointLay.

Since there is no othersource of supply, every need for the entire year must be anticipated in detail.It was with the idea of finding outhow many and what types of orthopedicproblems exist in this area, and whatmight be done to facilitate their care,that I accompanied the ANS freighter.Actually, most of the villages we visitedhad not seen any doctor for severalyears and had no prospects of seeinganother for many more years, so we didwhat we could for anyone who came.Usually, we talked to the teachers of agiven village as soon as we could makeradio contact. Through them the newswas relayed and patients collected.When we arrived at the town, procedures varied with the time availableand the difficulty of getting ashore.North of the Aleutians there are nodocks, and often the anchorage is soshallow that the ship must stand outseveral miles from shore. Furthermore,the weather is so treacherous that, nomatter what the time of arrival, lightering begins at once, and the ship departsas soon as the last piece of freight is Fig. 3.-Typical sod igloo at Point Hope. Note the child on the roof al the warm-wealb,entrance. The winter entrance is at the end of the tunnel. The tent al the right is the samm.home into which the family moves "to gice the house a rest."off the deck. Usually, lightering is doneby local boats, often enough, a largeskin boat, or umiak. When local boatsare not available, the ship's launchesand barges are used. No matter howlong the job, everyone works straightthrough in order not to waste a minuteof the few short weeks that shipping issafe above the Arctic Circle.With the first load that could take us,those of us who had business ashorewould embark. A well-dressed traveler,under these circumstances, wears "tinpants," hip rubber boots, and a downfilled, fur-edged parka. Thus attired, wewould negotiate the ladder or cargohoist to boat, barge, tug, or whateverwas operating and take our chances withthe freight. At the beach we wouldusually jump into the surf and wadeashore, unless we were lucky enough tobe in a skin boat, which is so light thatit 'can be drawn far up above the water'sedge.After seeing in their homes those patients who were bedridden (and thesewere usually in the terminal stages ofpulmonary tuberculosis), we would goto the schoolhouse and hold a sort ofclinic. Those who needed X-rays weresorted out so that they could get to theship, where the ship's nurse made theX-rays, filled and pulled teeth, and gavesuch simple treatments as we hadavailable. Often enough we finished withthe last patient as the anchor was beingraised, so that it was not usually possible to develop and report the X-raysuntil the ship had sailed. In this casethe reports and recommendations weregiven later by radio. There were alsonumerous radio consultations, and, sincecontact is not constant, a decision aboutthese had to be made at once. Pity thepoor doctor who is called about a difficult delivery or what sounds like asurgical emergency. He gets his information from the teacher, who has no experience in medicine and little equipment.He must not only handle the case by remote control but he must also abicby the limitations of the FCC and thosof medical ethics regarding personal irformation, knowing all the time th,every radio up and down the coastlistening in. On one occasion, I had ttell the field nurse about a man in hidistrict in whom I suspected a brain nmor. I hit upon "expanding intracranineoplasm" as a term which would baffmost of those on the party line. Unfotunately, it also baffled the nurse, �that, by the time she caught on, tlwhole coast had too.Altogether we saw some four hundrepatients, about half of whom had ortbpedic conditions. Of the latter, the mejority had tuberculosis of bones anjoints. This group also included an UIusual number of congenital anomaliedeformities due to fractures, rheumatoiand degenerative arthritis, arthrogrypsis, poliomyelitis, Dupuytren's contrature, etc. It was of interest that, athough pyogenic infections of skin anupper respiratory tract were almost unversal, no case of pyogenic osteomyelit:was seen. Among the nonorthopedic p1tients, the most striking thing was thincidence of eye disorders and of PS)chosomatic disease. There was one cia!sical hysteria, several psychoses, andhigh incidence of minor ailments, sueas vitiligo and neurodermatitis. Of inteest too is the fact that, in spite of thpoor living conditions and the wid!spread infections, rheumatic heart di�ease is extremely rare on the Arcticoast. On the other hand, more anmore evidence is accumulating that tricbinosis and echinococcosis are extremely prevalent. As might be expected, gastrointestinal disorders, especially enteritis, are very common.This was the first such trip that habeen tried. Although many guesses anapproximations had to be made, we werable to furnish the report and the reeommendations which were the objeeof the trip.MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINRESIDENT STAFF NEWS 11Edward H.

Invitations and Late BulletinsThe editors will welcome for publication any reports of investigative work oractivities of alumni in other institutionsin the country.We intend again to expand the springbulletin to include the graduating activities, with pictures and abstracts of papers, of the class of 1951.A reception in Billings Cafeteria inhonor of the spring graduates will be heldon March IS in connection with themeeting of the Jackson Park Branch ofthe Chicago Medical Society, at whichDr. Harwell Wilson will speak on "Observations on Sickle Cell Anemia."We went to press too early to include,in the proper columns, two announcements of interest to all medical alumni:F. Joseph Mullin has resigned as Deanof Students in the Division of BiologicalSciences to be Dean of Chicago MedicalSchool and Joseph]. Ceithaml, assistantprofessor of biochemistry, has been madethe new dean as of March I, 1951.Dr. C. Wesley Eisele, associate professor oi medicine, has accepted theassistant directorship of the Division ofGraduate and Post-graduate MedicalEducation at the University of ColoradoSchool of Medicine in Denvet. He willleave on April first.DUES AND GIFTSThe initial phase of the fund-raisingcampaign has been comparatively successful. Other alumni organizations are happy with 50 per cent membership, amost half of which is life mernbershiiThis is not a general alumni organizatiobut one which has specific aims beyonthe usual. Our group has not only birdand deaths, but scientific activities treport. And continued scientific reponare not likely unless there is close rel:tion between faculty, alumni and sndents. We need a permanent home tcthe Association where there will be aopportunity for closer alumni-facultystudent relationship, and an expandejournal in which every important activitof alumnus, faculty, and student has aopportunity of expression.We are grateful for what we have received beyond the expectation of thtypical alumni association, but we neemore life-members and gifts to make oudreams come true.New Life-Members-19S0-SRobert Irving Barickman, Jr., '44Robert Lee Beal, '43Jack Chandler Berger, '46Robert Ramsey Bigelow, '43Mi-l.ouise Cason, '50Lowell T.
