Abstract Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a clinical syndrome with potentially devastating features. Much has been made in the literature regarding a predisposing personality for RSD. Active duty personnel with traumatically induced RSD were evaluated for adjustment problems to military life which may assist practitioners with the early diagnosis of the syndrome. Twelve of 19 patients were identified who exhibited some negative aspect of military performance. However, 7 patients had no obvious predisposing factors for RSD. This indicates that personality must be considered judiciously when diagnosing and managing RSD. Predisposing personality traits must not be expected to occur in every case.

Abstract The unexpected Japanese attack on Hawaii on December 7, 1941 resulted in a rather chaotic medical and general reaction. Much of this could have been improved if the lessons of World War I had been remembered and if there had been even a little warning. Some of these lessons are being forgotten again.

Abstract A total of 4728 patients who presented for emergency dental care during two different ten-month periods were analyzed to determine their chief complaint, duration of pain, and dental diagnosis. Approximately 72% of these active duty soldiers presented with pain, 42% of whom suffered with pain for up to one week. Based upon clinical and radiographic diagnosis, between 67 and 71% of these emergency visits could have been prevented. An aggressive Dental Fitness program prior to combat or deployment may prevent casualties due to dental emergencies. This content is only available as a PDF.

Abstract Low back pain is a common problem confronting military health care providers. Most patients with low back pain have benign degenerative disease, symptoms of which will resolve with conservative therapy. Patients with more serious diseases can be identified by careful clinical evaluation and frequent follow-up. This content is only available as a PDF.

Abstract Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disease which usually does not manifest clinically until the adult years. We present ten patients who have come to our attention during the past year at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC). Myotonic dystrophy is a not uncommon neuromuscular disease which has important implications for military physicians who must assess a service member's potential for worldwide deployment (i.e., cold weather assignments), ability to pass the P.T. test, and potential to develop multisystem complications of their illness (arrhythmias, cataracts). We present the BAMC experience with these patients. This content is only available as a PDF.
