Riverside The Medical Roundup Emeritus Consultant la Medicine, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine. Mayo Foundation SINUS INFECTIONS Many persons tend to get j acute infections of their sinuses, ! usually during a bad cold, or af ter swimming or diving in a tank, the water of .which is full of germs. One can usually tell when one has such an infec tion by the presence of an ache in one 8tewit Aisoo cneeK, or oacK of the nose. Soon, large amounts of yellow pus will be blown out of the nose several times a day. If the person is lucky, the acute infection clears up in two or three weeks; if he or she is not lucky, some infection re mains for months. In the old days, nose special ists used to operate again and again, trying to clean out all of the diseased bone in the sinuses, but their results were too often bad, the patient winding up with an uncomfortable, bad-smelling and cavernous nose. Often, to day, the doctor can do something to improve the drainage from a sinus. He may straighten a crooked septum so that air can go back and forth more easily and secretions can run out. Often, when the chronic infec tion is in an antrum (a cavity in the cheek bone), a little window can be made so that the pus can drain out into the nose. Then often the patient gets well. A Festering Navel Mothers of children sometimes ask what is wrong with a child's navel when it keeps discharging. I think, probably, what has hap pened is that the tube that in the foetus runs through the ab domen has not closed as it should. In such a case, a surgeon can effect a cure. Dermatomyositis Many people ask me what to do for dermatomyositis, and about all I can say is, "Go to a good, wise skin specialist." Der ma refers to skin and myo means muscle, so the disease is an in flammation of an area of skin and the muscles underlying it. There are a number of diseases perhaps related to permatomyo sitis, the nature of which we psysicians are only beginning to understand. Hemorrhage Into The Eye Quite a few elderly persons wonder if anything can be done to restore sight taken away by a hemorrhage into the background of the eye, or perhaps by a plugging-up of the main artery that runs to the eye. I'm sorry to say that I doubt if anything cur ative is likely to be done for such conditions. The part of the eye that is supplied by the blood vessel is probably destroyed and, naturally, no one can hope to build it up again. Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will undersand that it would be impossible for him to answer re quests for information or to at tempt to diagnose by mail.
