Carcinoma Of The Fallopian Tube, Victor Gantus, Bruce H. Drukker, C. Paul Hodgkinson
Carcinoma Of The Fallopian Tube, Victor Gantus, Bruce H. Drukker, C. Paul Hodgkinson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Seven cases of primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube have been reviewed and compared with cases previously reported in the literature. Sterility was present in 51% of patients. There was a variety of symptoms, but the most frequent was vaginal discharge, in 42% of patients. Two patients manifested urinary symptoms and one patient ascites. In six of our seven patients, an adnexal mass was present. Although clinical diagnosis will always be difficult one should be highly suspicious of this disease in patients between 40 and 60 years of age with these symptoms.
Intra-Abdominal Heterotopic Transplantation Of The Canine Heart, Rodman Taber, Nobuatsu Kouno, Jorge Simon
Intra-Abdominal Heterotopic Transplantation Of The Canine Heart, Rodman Taber, Nobuatsu Kouno, Jorge Simon
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Heterotopic transplantation of the dog heart to an abdominal location is a satisfactory experimental model for the study of immunosuppression. Rejection signs are readily detected by palpation and electrocardiographic monitoring.
The Symmetry-Decision Method Of Eeg Analysis, Richard M. Lee
The Symmetry-Decision Method Of Eeg Analysis, Richard M. Lee
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
An improved version of a previously presented computer analysis for EEG is described. The basic process used in the analysis is the classification of waves according to duration (frequency) and amplitude. The unique aspect of the improved system is the distinction between "simple" waves and "composite" waves, which are slow waves with superimposed higher frequencies. The computer program makes this "decision" on the basis of wave symmetry.
Cecal Diverticulitis In The Japanese, Yasuhiko Kurosu, Tokio Suzuki, Toshinaka Koga
Cecal Diverticulitis In The Japanese, Yasuhiko Kurosu, Tokio Suzuki, Toshinaka Koga
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Four cases of diverticular disease of the colon are reported. The disease is rare in Japan and is more commonly seen in the cecum. Differential diagnosis of right lower quadrant pain and a filling defect in the cecum on x-ray examination is evidence of diverticular disease of the cecum. The future trend of the disease of the colon is predicted as increasing because of older populations, changes in diet and more frequent recognition through barium enema examination.

Precipitable Hetero-Antibodies In Man To Animal Serum Proteins: Relation To Immunoglobulin Status, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry, Judene Mueller
Precipitable Hetero-Antibodies In Man To Animal Serum Proteins: Relation To Immunoglobulin Status, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry, Judene Mueller
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Immunologic studies show that man develops specific antibodies to a variety of serum proteins of bovine, sheep, goat, chicken, and rabbit origins as well as antibodies against cow's milk protein. The data in this report emphasize that these hetero-antibodies are more frequently found in individuals with immunological problems and/or chromosomal aberrations. The clinical significance of human hetero-antibodies against these animal proteins deserves closer clinical observation for an understanding of these immunological problems.

Use Of A Cooling Jacket During Kidney Transplantation, Stanley G. Dienst, Mohammed R. Ansari
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The model of renal autotransplantation, with immediate contralateral nephrectomy in the dog, is used to demonstrate that continuous cooling by means of a cooling jacket during vascular anastomoses is effective in preserving renal function acutely and over a two-month follow-up period.
Prevention Of Recurrent Systemic Embolism With Anticoagulants In Patients With Rheumatic Heart Disease, Sudarsan Misra, Irwin J. Schatz
Prevention Of Recurrent Systemic Embolism With Anticoagulants In Patients With Rheumatic Heart Disease, Sudarsan Misra, Irwin J. Schatz
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Results are reported of long-term anticoagulant treatment in a group of 90 patients with rheumatic heart disease who had systemic embolism. Compared to the reported incidence of recurrent systemic embolism in patients not given anticoagulant drugs, such therapy remarkably lowers the risk of such occurrences. Complications from this treatment in the reported patients were minimal.
Small Bowel Perforation In Blunt Abdominal Trauma, C. Grodsinsky, Brock E. Brush
Small Bowel Perforation In Blunt Abdominal Trauma, C. Grodsinsky, Brock E. Brush
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This review of pre- and post-operative management of six cases of small bowel perforation secondary to blunt abdominal trauma provides the opportunity to analyze the problems involved in prompt diagnosis and adequate care. Some of the possible mechanisms producing the perforation are discussed. In order to prevent undue delays in diagnosis, changes in clinical picture should warrant early surgical exploration. This avoids increased rates of mortality and prolonged morbidity.
Effects Of An Eeg "Seizure Discharge" On Operant Responding, Richard M. Lee, Julia A. Lee, Hendrik Van Den Ende, Lorne D. Proctor
Effects Of An Eeg "Seizure Discharge" On Operant Responding, Richard M. Lee, Julia A. Lee, Hendrik Van Den Ende, Lorne D. Proctor
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A post-stimulus "seizure discharge" recorded in the amygdaloid area of monkey brains was investigated primarily by studying its effects upon behavior. Three different operant conditioning schedules were used with animals implanted with multiple depth electrodes. The schedules involved the factors of number discrimination, attention, sequential responding, and self-stimulation. Although the electrical brain stimulation caused a disruption in responding, no behavioral effects could be attributed to the recorded discharge itself. This result, and previous findings, lead to the tentative conclusion that the discharge results from a physico-chemical, brain-electrode interface phenomena and is not neurophysiological in nature.
Gastrocolic Fistulas Due To Cancer: Report Of A 16-Year Survival And A Review Of The Literature, Susan Adelman, Joseph L. Ponka
Gastrocolic Fistulas Due To Cancer: Report Of A 16-Year Survival And A Review Of The Literature, Susan Adelman, Joseph L. Ponka

Critical Factors In The Management Of Liver Abscesses, Melvin A. Block, Hubert M. Allen
Critical Factors In The Management Of Liver Abscesses, Melvin A. Block, Hubert M. Allen
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Newer diagnostic techniques, including radioisotope liver scans, bacteriologic culture procedures for anaerobes, serologic tests for amebiasis, ultrasonic echograms, and hepatic arteriography, permit more specific identification and localization of hepatic abscesses. Large pyogenic abscesses are of particular Importance to surgeons; are frequently caused by anaerobic organisms; and require early, direct, adequate, and sufficiently prolonged surgical drainage. The clinician should be alert also to recognition and management of the primary lesion responsible for the hepatic abscess, associated abscesses elsewhere, and the possible presence of an underlying liver neoplasm.
Dissecting Aneurysm Of The Aorta: Diagnosis, Treatment And Prognosis, Hahn J. Lee, Ellet H. Drake
Dissecting Aneurysm Of The Aorta: Diagnosis, Treatment And Prognosis, Hahn J. Lee, Ellet H. Drake
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The records of 13 patients with proven dissecting aortic aneurysm were studied with particular attention to the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in each case. The three essential steps in reaching an early correct diagnosis included (1) history and physical examination, (2) serial chest x-rays and (3) aortography. Electrocardiogram and SCOT and LDH measurements seem to be of value only when incompatible with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Significant differences between Type 1 and Type 3 dissections were observed in their clinical manifestations, results of treatment and natural prognosis.
Therapy Of Mycosis Fungoides, Harvey G. Shapero
Therapy Of Mycosis Fungoides, Harvey G. Shapero
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Mycosis fungoides is best viewed as a cutaneous lymphoma. Over a period of years, it progresses through three stages—the first consisting of red scaly patches, the second of pruritic plaques, and the third of brownish-red tumors. The therapy of each stage is outlined, and several selected modalities are discussed in detail, including topical steroids, systemic steroids, localized superficial irradiation, topical nitrogen mustard, electron beam, and chemotherapy (alkylating agents and antimetabolites.
Gastrocolic And Duodenocolic Fistulas: An Experimental Study, Joseph L. Ponka, A. Karim Shaalan, P. C. Pesaros
Gastrocolic And Duodenocolic Fistulas: An Experimental Study, Joseph L. Ponka, A. Karim Shaalan, P. C. Pesaros
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
In an experimental study of gastrocolic and duodenocolic fistulas, it was clearly seen in 10 animals that duodenocolic fistulas result in the most serious loss of nutrition. Death from starvation occurred in all 42 animals in 30 days. Gastrocolic fistulas similarly resulted in weight loss and death of the animals in an average of 42 days. Lengthy fistulas between the stomach and colon caused no obvious disturbances in the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract. The significant microscopic changes included destruction of the mucous membrane and a decrease in size of the villi. The other noteworthy observation was that fistulous aggregations …
Diagnosis And Treatment Of Gonorrhea, Paul A. Kvale
Diagnosis And Treatment Of Gonorrhea, Paul A. Kvale
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The various methods for diagnosis of gonorrhea are reviewed. Gram-stained smear of urethral exudate in the mate is appropriate, but for the female emphasis is placed on the use of culture on Thayer-Martin medium. Currently effective modalities of treatment are detailed, pointing out that higher doses of antibiotics are generally required for females with pelvic inflammatory disease than for males with acute gonococcal urethritis. The necessity for follow-up is also discussed.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This study demonstrates the serologic response as measured by the HAl test and the side reactions of the HPV-77 DK-12 live rubella vaccine in a small group of adult females. One hundred percent seroconversion was obtained using this vaccine. The mean titers obtained in two separate time periods post-vaccination are higher than those reported for several other rubella virus vaccines. A 66% occurrence of joint symptomatology was recorded post-vaccination with a mean duration of 11.6 days; 24% of women who received placebo reported joint complaints which had a mean duration of 2.0 days. The difference between these two rates is …

An Improved Method Of Staining Paraffin-Embedded Bone Marrow Sections, Wanda Pusey, A. R. Villanueva
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Cytological detail is well demonstrated in an improved method of staining aspirated bone marrow sections embedded in paraffin. The tinctorial patterns of the stain resemble some of its predecessors; thus, cell counting and identification involve little difficulty. The method has proven reliable, reproducible and a valuable addition in the diagnosis of bone marrow disorders. It is a useful tool in research problems in which objectives are the study of the bone marrow.
