The equation for glossitis is C+ with T+ for the hyperemia. If there is suppuration it is N.C.R.
Family
This condition is in the fever family overlapping the degenerations family in case of suppuration.
Major Adjustment
The major adjustment for glossitis is S.P. and in cases involving suppuration K.P.
STENOSIS OF THE PYLORUS
There are two types of stenosis of the pylorus in infancy. One is a stenosis due to a muscular spasm of the pylorus called a pylorospasm. The other is a stenosis due to a hypertrophy of the pylorus known as hypertrophic stenosis of the pylorus. It is possible for both conditions to be present at the same time. The stenosis may be congenital and is usually called stenosis of infancy. It is considered a serious condition and the mortality is very high.
This incoördination is characterized by constipation, persistent wasting, projectile vomiting, and a marked visible tumor.
Symptoms
The symptoms begin to appear during the first or second week of life. Up to this time the child may have been gaining and showing all signs of perfect health. Vomiting is usually the first symptom to appear and this may be at irregular times but without apparent cause. It soon becomes very forcible and later projectile. The symptoms of indigestion are absent; there is no eructations of gas; the breath is sweet and the appetite is good. There is no evidence of pain and there is no fever, yet the child steadily wastes and loses in weight.
