    Abstract The Scientific Board of the California Medical Association presents the following inventory of items of progress in chest diseases. Each item, in the judgment of a panel of knowledgeable physicians, has recently become reasonably firmly established, both as to scientific fact and important clinical significance. The items are presented in simple epitome and an authoritative reference, both to the item itself and to the subject as a whole, is generally given for those who may be unfamiliar with a particular item. The purpose is to assist busy practitioners, students, research workers, or scholars to stay abreast of these items of progress in chest diseases that have recently achieved a substantial degree of authoritative acceptance, whether in their own field of special interest or another.The items of progress listed below were selected by the Advisory Panel to the Section on Chest Diseases of the California Medical Association, and the summaries were prepared under its direction.

    Abstract Alternative therapies for allergic diseases may be prescribed by physicians or provided by other practitioners or selected by patients without resorting to consultation with a health advisor. The most popular alternative therapies include dietary manipulation and exaggerated avoidance of allergens. Established medical therapies include herbs (Western and Asian), homeopathy and acupuncture; many publications suggest they are of value in allergic disease management. However, most studies lack sufficient power, do not have adequate controls, fail to duplicate standard clinical practices, or utilize a heterogeneous group of subjects. Careful analysis suggest that popular alternative therapies might offer a minimal benefit over placebos, but further studies are required for more rigorous evaluation of outcomes. Numerous esoteric or non-specific methods of treating allergic diseases are also available which may be promoted by enthusiastic practitioners or supported by satisfied patients. The majority of such therapies will never be scientifically evaluated, and the results of such modalities will be difficult to separate out from those of true placebo treatments. It is evident that while the "prose" of scientifically established therapies is appealing to a declining number of patients, the "poetry" of complementary therapies resonates with an increasing majority of the public who believe in the magic of alternative medicine.

    Abstract The mechanisms of actions of cough medicines are not always known. The problem is exacerbated for herbal medicines, where the effectiveness of the plant or its phytochemicals have rarely been carefully evaluated. Moreover, the most active phytomedicinal constituent is difficult to identify, and the expense and difficulty of such studies discourages sponsors who may not be able to benefit by subsequent exclusive marketing of the herbal remedy. Most popular herbs used as cough medicines appear to be demulcents whose action is confined to the oropharynx. It is probable that the vast majority of allegedly effective herbal cough medicines act as non-specific emetic-expectorants. The proof of activity of even marketed herbal derivatives such as guaifenesin and codeine is difficult to obtain. It is therefore likely that herbal cough medications will never be shown to be more active than placebos. Nevertheless, these plant products will continue to be popular remedies for patients and their health care advisors.

    Abstract Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is becoming more popular, and CAM remedies are used instead of, or integrated with, orthodox allopathic therapies by many patients with asthma. Although most CAM remedies may have no discernible effects when analyzed by conventional medical techniques, some double-blind controlled studies do suggest that a meaningful benefit can be obtained with acupunture and homeopathic management in asthma. Herbal medicine is more popular, despite little evidence that the vast majority of herbs for asthma have any useful effects other than a nonspecific expectorant action. Dietary adjustment may benefit a small percentage of patients with asthma, but extreme measures are very rarely indicated. Formal pyschologic approaches can help some patients by reducing anxiety. Although most CAM approaches are harmless, the lack of benefit of many remedies and the potential harm from some of them must be recognized.
