The history of surgery for esophageal atresia.
J Pediatr Surg
July 2020
Department of Surgery, Division of Pediatric Surgery, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC. Electronic address:
Until the successful repair of esophageal atresia (EA) and distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) in 1941 by Cameron Haight of Ann Arbor, MI, every infant operated upon for this anomaly died within days and often hours of surgery. A key step was the posterior extrapleural approach to the mediastinum pioneered by Charles Mixter of Boston in 1929 that gave direct exposure of the anomaly without entering the pleural cavity and collapsing the lung. From 1936 to 1939 Thomas Lanman, also of Boston, made five unsuccessful attempts at primary repair of EA.

The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a severe disease. Lung, brain and digestive complaints that result in opportunistic infections and neoplasms are the most documented. The endocrine disorders, the description of which is recent on the basis of post-mortem data, motivated some authors to undertake studies in order to evaluate endocrine function in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

J Otolaryngol
April 1990
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of California, Davis.
Malignant neoplasms as well as those with an aggressive locally invasive character involving the sphenoid sinus have been considered heretofore to be inoperable and incurable. Because of fear of entering the cavernous sinus, the proximity of the internal carotid artery laterally and the optic chiasm superiorly as well as the middle fossa contents, these patients were relegated to palliative regimens of irradiation and chemotherapy. As methods have been developed of managing hemorrhage from the cavernous sinus, exposure and control or bypass of the internal carotid artery and combined subcranial and intracranial resection, the frontiers of surgery in the sphenoid sinus have been advanced.

Mayo Clin Proc
January 1988
Division of Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905.
The morphologic features of the anterior pituitary gland were studied by immunohistologic methods in 12 patients who had died of complications of anorexia nervosa, 4 patients who had died while on a "crash diet", 13 patients who had died of organic disease associated with inanition, and 5 age- and sex-matched control subjects who had been involved in sudden fatal accidents. All known pituitary hormones were found to be present. Abnormalities noted in both the patients with anorexia and those with organic inanition included relative hypogranulation of adrenocorticotropic and, to a lesser extent, growth hormone cells.

The latter was significantly depressed in the tumor-bearing animals as compared to the corresponding saline-injected controls. The findings are of interest considering that the tumors were relatively small; however, they occupied significant areas of the entire brain.
