What to Do for Jaundice
By Herman N. Bundesen, M. O. TO nay that a person has jaundice means little hecaufo* ot the many different disorders which can produce this yellowish discoloration of the skin. When such a patient comes to a doctor, the doctor will know that bile pigments are collecting in the blood and tissues but only a careful study will reveal why; therefore If it is at all possible he will want his patient to go to the hospital where laboratory tests can be made to determine the cause. According to Dr. Frederick Steigmann of Chicago, jaundice is not usually due to a disorder which requires immediate operation and sometimes operation is not needed at all. Causes of Jaundice Among the cause* of jaundice are the blocking of the flow of bile from the liver, the presence of a atone in one of the binary ducts or an infection of the liver. Whatever the cause of the jaundice. the patient needs rest. Then he requires a carefully regulated diet. Every jaundice patient should receive a diet high in calories, rich in starches and sugars, as well as in certain essential proteins from such foods as meat, milk and eggs. He should be supplied with plenty of vitamins, but the diet should be limited in fats. If the patient can-
now provide* that Ileus on property must be given by those who receive welfare benefits, the superintendent has been heseiged with requests to care for aged parents from children who want the "family nest-egg,” but don't want to be bothered with parental care. —-o o Among the most tragic reports in newspapers today are those of accidents in public hospitals, most of them due to the groat shortage of nurses and attendants. One of the most graphic came recently from St. Louis, where a paralyzed girl patient had been found drowned in a tub in the City infirmary. The director, commenting on the death, said that for 150 patients, more than 70 of them children, he had only about 60 attendants. The nurse in charge of the ward In question had had to leave her patients, many of them bedridden, for nearly half an hour, while she cared for babies in another part of the building There just weren't enough nurses to go around. o—o Through the local Red Cross chapter and volunteer instructors, proper emphasis is being placed on water safety methods, swimming and life guard training. A course of instructions in fundamentals and advanced swimming will be given at the municipal pool and a representative has been sent to attend the Red Cross aquatic school at Camp Lltnberlost on Oliver Lake This is the season when totalities occur in the water. Every child should be taught to swim and acquainted with the practices of aiding others, for ail too many deaths occur from a la< k of knowing the safety rules. We commend the Red Cross, the women instructors and members of' the Water Safety committee for ‘ their responsive atteutiou to this very important subject. o o The United Nations organization itself, while weaker than could he desired, has grown rapidly in stature, it has furnished a framework which has greatly eased international strains. Without it, there might be no peace now. With it, strengthened to the point where its authority can outweigh that of any single trouble-making member, peace can be secure. For that strength it needs first of all small permanent police and airpolice forces for emergency action. Second, there must be agreements for larger specified contributions of forces to be supplied at the demand of the Security Council. There must also be agreements on military, naval and air bases, and and an international regime for Antarctica. Regulation of national arms can come only as the codec tive strength of the United Nations grows.
not lake enough food by mouth, he may be given various sugar solutions by Injections Into the vein. He may be given a solution of amino acids which are a substance from which proteins are made. Vitamins may also be given by injection. Itching of Skin Jaundice is frequently accompanied by severe Itching of the skin. To relieve this, special preparation of ergot, warm haths, or various enemas may be of value. If the jaundice is accompanied hy a severe Infection, the sulfonamide products, as well as penicll lin may be used without any fear, according to Dr. Steigmann. if it is found, after careful study, that operation is required to get rid of the cause for jaundice, the treatment as mentioned above will aid In Improving the patient’s condition so that he is better able to withstand the operation. The patient with jaundice should not be given any anesthetic such as ether which has a damaging effect on the liver. During the operation, it may be important also to give injections of ephedrine in order to keep up the blood pressure. Bear In mind that jaundice Is only a symptom and can be best treated when the cause hss been < Ml
