Talk:Roemheld syndrome

note

Welcome to the Roemheld Syndrome discussion page. If you search german pages, you can find a lot about this particular syndrome, unfortunately it failed to cross the ocean to the U.S. and so remains high undiagnosed here.

try www.google.de There are also translation engines by google that will translate a page, or translate a search so that you can browse this disease from german. also wikipedia has a page on this topic in german

References would be nice right?

I can't find any reference to this syndrome on the medical textbooks or databases that I have access to. Is it noted on sites other than WebMD?

• Edit*

Look here: Information about the gastrocardiac syndrome is abundant in medical journals from the 30s, 40s and 50s, after that not much information. My impression from the medical literature is that by the 50s this was now common knowledge among doctors and not as hot of a topic anymore. There's not really much to be said after Roemheld. Roemheld (the german physician who discovered it) basically treated the majority of the patients successfully and proved not only the objective signs (eg elevation of the diaphragm on the left side) by roentgen photography- but proved the reversal of these with his successful treatment

His full treatment protocol is actually described in an article written by Roemheld himself, in the American Journal of Medical Sciences 1931. I assume this is a translation of an original german article

The article can be access here (if you have access to this journal): http://journals.lww.com/amjmedsci/Citation/1931/07000/THE_TREATMENT_OF_THE_GASTROCARDIAC_SYNDROME.3.aspx

In 5-6 brief pages it goes through everything basically, including the treatment, you shouldn't have any trouble finding references there

Aside from that, doesn't seem like it made it into the medical textbooks in most countries other than Germany- where it is still found in medical textbooks

I have references to various other articles from medical journals, in various languages, but not really anything new, more or less everything is mentioned in the article by Roemheld

I don't think the fact that this disappeared from the literature in the 1950s indicates it became "common knowledge" among doctors, quite the opposite. More likely it suggests a dead end. Most of the hits on Google Books relate to alternative medicine, probably because of the grab-bag assortment of causes and treatments. Without modern secondary sources this may fail notability guidelines, or at least needs to be put into context by an expert. Pyutk (talk) 16:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
