CHANGING PICTURE IN APPENDICITIS A pain in the stomach which later moved downward to the right side and remained there waa once called "inflammation of the ' ." and many suffering from it died. later this condition be- came no as appendicitis, and i trealsnent (waiting to see what would happen in a day or two), still many patients died. espec- ially if a laxative or a purgative was given to drive be or poison- ous food out of the stomach and intestine. Under 'this method of treatment, as many as 10 per cent died. Because thoughtful physicians had found that the death rate was higher among those who were given a purge or had been given some food. the physicians and surgeons of Philadelphia, some years ago. determined to obtain a low death rate by (a) early oper- ation. (b) no food and (c) no laxative or purgative. The result was so satisfactory that through- out the whole civilized world. these three steps are followed with the result that the death rate is less than 1 in 100. In New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal. Dr. Gerald N. Weiss. New Orleans, discusses "The Changing Picture in Appendiceal Disease.” "withln recent years the death rate of appendicitis in United states and Canada has fallen from a record high of 15.2 per 100,000 population in 1930 to 2.9 of the same population. The past five years at Touro Infirmary have shown a reduction in the death rate of two-thirds over the five-1 year period corresponding to the reduction reported by the Nation- al Office for Vital Statistics for the same period."

The antibiotic drugs - penicillin and sulfa drugs - early oper-, atlon, simplified methods for in-j jectlng fluids and blood into the circulation have. in 81'6Il- part. caused the reduction in the death ra . Besides these measures. it is now known not only by Dhyslcllns but by laymen also. how to recoil- nlze appendicitis and have the patient admitted to hospital im- mediately. In the cases of acute appendici- tis studied. over one-half of the deaths occurred in the age group over 40.
