Opium Addicts.
During the year 56 were admitted. Treatment has been on previous lines and immediate results have been good. No cases have returned for re-admission with the result that reliable information as to relapse cannot be obtained.
Clinical research on the gastric function of addicts is being continued and results so far show, almost without exception, a condition of hyperchlorhydria and pylorospasm.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Artificial Pneumothorax.
Towards the end of 1933 the Medical Unit instituted a special clinic for cases suitable for treatment by Artificial Pneumothorax. Since that time the number of cases has rapidly increased and the Chinese patients keep up attendance for refills in a most encouraging way.
This advance in the control of Pulmonary Tuberculosis is most important for the Colony. It is the most practical and economical means of dealing with the large proportion of early cases. Most of our cases continue at work and attend at regular periods for refills.
