views of the pelvis, taken in February 1930.
These
show
changes,
(irregular destruction and proliferation), in the neck of each femur
and about the scaro-iliac joints, possibly also in the lower lumbar
vertebrae, similar to the changes seen in the films of the 5 cases I
have had under observation, (Freyer, Hussman, Schaub, Larice and
McDonald). No definite evidence of a tumor process was noted.
The teeth appeared on casual inspection to be fairly sound.
I understand that Mrs. Saxer shows radioactivity by the gamma
ray test, computed to correspond to the presence of 8 micrograms of
radium in her body.
Taking all the above findings into consideration, I am strongly
inclined to believe that she has a true case of radium and/or mesothorium
poisoning. However, before making a definite conclusion, I should
like to see X-ray films of her entire skeleton, including, for comparison,
a retake of her pelvis. A blood count and urine examination would be
of interest, also.
