April, 1944 "skin sterilizing" agents—bost 133 was 0.23 Gm. per 100 cc.) Phenolsulfon-phthalein excretion in two hours was 47 per cent. The patient was placed again on a strict rice diet. His blood pressure during the first hospital week averaged 151 systolic, 106 diastolic; during the second and third weeks, 139 systolic, 101 diastolic. Papilledema and peripapillary edema had almost completely disappeared. The arterioles were clearly visible. Venous engorgement, tortuosity and arteriovenous compression had markedly decreased. The patient was discharged on September 29, on a strict rice diet. He returned to the hospital for a check-up on November 15. He felt very well, and had been up and done light work, such as milking. He had had no headache, dizziness, blurring of vision, or urinary symptoms except nocturia about twice nightly. For the last few days before readmission he had had a slight head cold with nasal congestion. The average of blood pressure readings taken over five days was 138 systolic, 98 diastolic. The hemoglobin was 90 per cent and there were 4,880,000 red blood cells. The nonprotein nitrogen was 25 mg. per 100 cc. of blood. The plasma proteins were 5.9 Gm. per 100 cc., the albumin-globulin ratio 1.8. Chlorides (as NaCl) were 556 mg. per 100 cc. of serum, calcium 10.3 mg., phosphorus 4 mg., cholesterol 170 mg. There was no albumin, white blood cells, red blood cells, or casts in the urine; the urinary total nitrogen was 2 Gm. in twenty-four hours, the urea 2 Gm. in twenty-four hours (775 cc.). Phenol-sulfonphthalein excretion in two hours was 58 per cent. The eyegrounds were almost normal (fig. 7). The transverse diameter of the heart was 12.7 cm., as compared to 14.7 cm. in May (fig. 8) ; that of the great vessels was 5.7 cm. (7.4 cm. in May). The chest diameter was 31.1 cm., as compared to 29.7 cm. in May. The diet was again modified to include non-leguminous vegetables, one egg, and 2 ounces of beef or liver once a week. The patient was last seen February 2-4. 1944. He was in excellent condition, and had been working up to eleven hours every day (in charge of a grocery). He had had no headache, dizziness or dyspnea, even when doing such heavy work as unloading feed trucks. His eyesight had greatly improved; he was able to read fine print. His blood pressure ranged from 130 to 140 systolic, 96 to 102 diastolic. His hemoglobin was 86 per cent, red blood cells 5,000,000, nonprotein nitrogen 26 mg. per 100 cc. of blood, urea nitrogen 2.4 mg. per 100 cc. of blood, urea ratio 9.2 per cent. Total plasma proteins were 7.4 Gm. per 100 cc., albumin-globulin ratio 0.8. Chlorides (as NaCl) were 552 mg. per 100 cc. of serum, calcium 9.2 mg., phosphorus 2.9 mg., cholesterol 237 mg. The patient was told to continue a modified rice regimen with non-leguminous vegetables, plus two eggs and 4 ounces of lean meat a week. He was advised to stop carrying heavy loads and not to work more than eight hours daily. Summary The histories of 2 patients, one with chronic glomerulonephritis, and one with hypertensive cardiovascular disease, are given to illustrate the effects which a rice-fruit-sugar diet may have on hypertension, heart enlargement, electrocardiographic changes, edema, hypoproteinemia, nonprotein nitrogen, hypercholesterolemia, albuminuria and retinopathy. AN EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISON OF CERTAIN "SKIN-STERILIZING" AGENTS: PRELIMINARY REPORT T. C. Bost, M.D.. F.A.C.S. Charlotte Although an agent suitable for skin sterilization preparatory to surgical operations has been sought for three-quarters of a century, the ideal antiseptic has not yet been perfected. It has been demonstrated conclusively that by no known procedure is it possible to sterilize the skin completely throughout the layers which are to be cut by the surgeon's knifed The ideal antiseptic or sterilizing agent must possess at least five properties: (1) It must kill bacteria in a reasonably short time; (2) it must not be neutralized by contact with small amounts of serum, fats, soaps or oils; (3) its effect should last at least throughout the operation; (4) it must be non-irritating to the skin; (5) it should be colored to show where it has been applied. In addition, it must be reasonably cheap. Agents which irritate the skin are likely to lower its resistance and so interfere with Read before the Section on Surgery. Medical Society of the State of North Carolina, Raleigh. May 11, 1943.
