Caring For The Sick Poor: The State Almshouse At Bridgewater, 1854-1887, Lucille O'Connell Dec 1984

Caring For The Sick Poor: The State Almshouse At Bridgewater, 1854-1887, Lucille O'Connell

Bridgewater Review

The number of helpless poor in Massachusetts increased during the period of the 1840s, and the problem was greatly magnified by Irish immigration to the United States. Too large a problem to be solved on the local level, the Board of Commissioners of Alien Passengers recommended, in 1852, that the State establish three almshouses. Accordingly, the institutions were established at Bridgewater, Monson to the west, and Tewksbury to the north of Boston, and were opened in May 1854. By the end of the first year the number of inmates far exceeded expectations.


Research Issues Surrounding Holocaust Survivors: Adaptability And Aging, Benjamin J. Hodgkins, Richard L. Douglass Dec 1984

Research Issues Surrounding Holocaust Survivors: Adaptability And Aging, Benjamin J. Hodgkins, Richard L. Douglass

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The thesis of this article is that, in spite of a large body of literature on the subject, a significant need exists for sociological research on the long-term consequences of the trauma experienced by survivors of Nazi concentration camps. Most of what is known about the adjustment of Holocaust survivors is based upon limited case histories of survivors who sought psychiatric aid, or requested assistance in qualifying for indemnification payments from the German government. The social and psychological dynamics of successful adjustment to life after the traumatic Holocaust experience by the majority of survivors has largely been ignored. Reasons for …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

本研究修改Comprehensive Mental Status Examination,對81名因為中風而接受榮總復健治療的病人進行測驗,比較左、右大腦損傷對智力所造成的影響。所有的病人都是第一次受傷,單側受損,以右手為優勢手,測驗時病人身體狀況均已穩定,神智清醒。病人年齡分佈為3i歲至75歲,平均60.08±7.68歲。教育程度小學以下者13人,小學程度12人,初中14人,高中21人,大專14人,另有7人為不能確定其教育程度者。病人從發病至接受測驗之時間間隔為6日至90日,平均26.26±16.71日。81名病人中有32人為右腦損傷,49人為左腦受損者,49人中有18入為失語症患者。兩半球受損的病人在教育程度、年齡及時間間隔上均無顯著差異。 測驗結果,右腦損傷者在注意力項目中的digit repitition,語言項目中的naming,記憶項目中的orientation,remotememory,new learning ability,建構能力中的drawing to command及高層次認知活動中的每一項目都是以右腦損傷的病人表現較佳,兩組的差異達統計上顯著水準。 對測驗題目作因素分析(factor analysis),抽出語言、抽象思考,空間關係及記憶保存四大因素。這些因素的發現,並配合大腦功能的劃分,可以解釋兩組病人在測驗上的差異。失語症病人除去之後,兩組差異不顯著,對這種現象,文內有進一步的說明。

A collaborative group for the study of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN-2) syndromes comprised of clinicians and laboratory scientists has been set up in the United Kingdom. Its aims are 1) to provide a basis for collaborative work on MEN-2; 2) to establish a register of patients; 3) and specifically to conduct studies aimed at defining the best policy for screening the families of apparently sporadic patients, to establish radioimmunoassays for family screening, and to identify large kindreds for genetic linkage studies using DNA polymorphisms.

Chromosomes In Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 Syndromes, Daniel L. Van Dyke, V. Ramesh Babu, Charles E. Jackson

In 19 patients from nine MEN-2A families, high-resolution C-banded chromosome studies have revealed a visible deletion within sub-band 20p12.2, yet no abnormality was observed in a 10th family. A deletion indistinguishable from that in MEN-2A was observed in five patients from three MEN-2B families but not in two other MEN-2B families. We found no abnormality in the entire karyotype of the four MEN-1 patients studied. These findings suggest that the mutation in most MEN-2 patients is a visible deletion in the short arm of chromosome 20.

Through nationwide surveys, we collected and analyzed 242 patients of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Included were 40 patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN-2A), six patients with MEN-2B, and 36 patients with only MTC having a positive family history (82 total patients in the hereditary group). Ten-year survival rates were 81.5% for all cases, and 97.5% and 76.1% for the hereditary and the sporadic group, respectively. Epinephrine/norepinephrine ratio in the urine was found to be a good indicator of the adrenomedullary hyperfunction in patients with hereditary MTC. At least one patient in each family with hereditary MTC had overt …

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A study designed to identify the location of a gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN-2) is being performed using a single large family segregating for MEN-2A. Here we report our initial results using a set of DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms spanning a 40 cM segment of the short arm of human chromosome 11. The locus for MEN-2 in this family is excluded from this entire region which includes an oncogene, c-Ha-ras-1, two hormone loci, insulin and parathyroid, and the five hemoglobin genes in the beta hemoglobin gene duster. This is the first exclusion of such a large …

Using recombinant DNA techniques, we analyzed the structure of human calcitonin (CT)-encoding DNA. The sequence of nucleotides derived from the messenger RNA (mRNA) predict the amino acid sequence of the entire human CT precursor protein. The complete CT gene could be isolated from a DNA library of the human genome. The CT precursor encoding sequences (exons) as well as the noncoding intervening sequences (introns) could be identified. Another sequence, called human calcitonin gene-related peptide (hCCRP), could be located near this CT-encoding DNA. A genomic fragment encoding hCCRP was used as a probe to detect and isolate the corresponding mRNA in …


Scintigraphy With 1-131 Mibg As An Aid To The Treatment Of Pheochromocytomas In Patients With The Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 Syndromes, James C. Sisson, Brahm Shapiro, William H. Beierwaltes Dec 1984

Scintigraphy With 1-131 Mibg As An Aid To The Treatment Of Pheochromocytomas In Patients With The Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 Syndromes, James C. Sisson, Brahm Shapiro, William H. Beierwaltes

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We reviewed the scintigraphic images made after injections of 1-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) or 1-123 MIBG in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 2A and 2B. The information we obtained was applied to three questions about the treatment of pheochromocytoma in patients affected with these syndromes. Our first question "When should adrenal gland(s) be removed?" was not directly answered. However, adrenalectomy generally should not be contemplated unless distinct abnormalities are present in the scintigraphic images. With experience it may be possible to approximate, from the stage of pheochromocytoma depicted by scintigraphy, how many years will elapse before symptoms or hypertension …

Research Vistas In The Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndromes, John J. Mulvihill

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Progress in understanding the single gene, cytogenetic, and multifactorial traits that predispose to human cancer suggests possible new directions for research in the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes. Among the other 200 or so monogenic disorders associated with human neoplasia, advances have come from further delineation of syndromes by various clinical specialists, the recognition of subtypes of syndromes previously thought to be homogeneous, the search for in vitro manifestations of the mutant gene in fibroblasts, and the establishment of cell, tissue and patient registries and of voluntary lay organizations to serve as advocates for the disease. With regard to cytogenetics, …

Investigation Of 500 Cerebral Palsies In Taiwan R.O.C., Alice May-Kuen Wong

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Analysis of 500 cerebral palsies in National Taiwan University Hospital were done from July 1980 to June 1984.Among them, 292 cases were male (58.4%), 208 were female (41.6%). The age distributions that they were brought to our clinic were sequently as following: within 1/2 year old 22.0%, 1/2 to 1 year 31.8%, 1 to 2 year 38.0%, 2 to 5 year 8.8%, above 5 year group 0.4%. The proportions of causal factors were 31.0% in prenatal period, 47.0% in perinatal period, 15.0% in postnatal period, and 7.0% in untracable cases. The contributing diseases of different periods were almost the same …
