Rubella Immunization Of Adult Females Using Hpv-77 Dk-12 Live Attenuated Rubella Virus, Donald A. Romig, E. L. Quinn, Frank Cox, Robert G. Brackett
Rubella Immunization Of Adult Females Using Hpv-77 Dk-12 Live Attenuated Rubella Virus, Donald A. Romig, E. L. Quinn, Frank Cox, Robert G. Brackett
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 …

Observations On Uric Acid Transport In Man, The Dalmatian And The Non-Dalmatian Dog, Howard Duncan, April S. Curtis
Observations On Uric Acid Transport In Man, The Dalmatian And The Non-Dalmatian Dog, Howard Duncan, April S. Curtis
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The urinary output of uric acid from the purebred Dalmatian is similar in amount to that in man. Also, this breed of dog has a higher plasma uric acid level than other dogs and, like man, this hyperuricemia is accompanied more frequently with renal and bladder lithiasis. Allopurinol is effective therapy in both man and dog. Study of the fate of uric acid in the Dalmatian shows that the liver does not oxidize the available uric acid completely although it is capable of doing so when liver homogenates are studied. Consequently, the hepatic cellular membrane appears impermeable, or partially so, …
Fever In Neoplastic Disease, Samuel L. Rosenthal, Robert W. Talley
Fever In Neoplastic Disease, Samuel L. Rosenthal, Robert W. Talley
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A comparison is made between incidence of fever in 132 patients with various types of disseminated cancer and 57 patients with diseases other than cancer during a 2- month observation period. Fifty-three febrile episodes were observed in cancer patients. Of these, 15 were of undetermined origin and 6 were noninfectious; none of the episodes occurred immediately following surgery. In the control group of 57 patients, there were 12 febrile episodes; of these, 7 were due to proven bacterial infection, 2 were due lo possible bacterial infection, and 3 were of undetermined etiology. All three febrile episodes in this latter group …
A Replacement Prosthesis For The Hip: A Preliminary Report, H. M. Frost, E. R. Guise
A Replacement Prosthesis For The Hip: A Preliminary Report, H. M. Frost, E. R. Guise
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Because of theoretical as well as practical difficulty in the total hip endoprostheses available to orthopaedic surgeons at the present time, an anlysis of the present and potential difficulties reveals that substitution of a roller-bearing for the present slider-bearing prosthesis and the establishment of a larger end-bearing surface on the acetabular side would be of benefit. Thus, the Ring prosthesis was re-designed to satisfy these hopes. A modification of the Ring's approach gives complete acetabular exposure and control of the prosthetic insertion. This is a preliminary report describing the design modifications of a prosthesis, presently under investigation, and illustrated by …
The Clinical Course Of Duodenal Ulcer Associated With Hyperparathyroidism, Melvin A. Block, Boy Frame, Thomas A. Fox Jr.
The Clinical Course Of Duodenal Ulcer Associated With Hyperparathyroidism, Melvin A. Block, Boy Frame, Thomas A. Fox Jr.
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
In 98 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, 15 had objective evidence of duodenal ulcer disease. Following operative correction of the hyperparathyroidism, improvement of duodenal ulcer disease occurred usually, but not uniformly, if unassociated with non-beta islet cell tumors. Correction of hyperparathyroidism in patients with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome does not significantly influence the peptic ulcer which should be given primary aggressive surgical treatment.
Tube Feeding As Part Of The Supportive Care Of The Surgical Patient, Bernard M. Schuman
Tube Feeding As Part Of The Supportive Care Of The Surgical Patient, Bernard M. Schuman
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A brief review is presented of the purpose and method of tube-feeding malnourished patients by the Barron technique. Dietary factors are analyzed and certain complications that can be avoided by proper attention to technique are noted.

The Hazards Of Rubella Serodiagnosis From Single Serum Studies In Pregnancy, Gerald A. Logrippo, Hajime Hayashi
The Hazards Of Rubella Serodiagnosis From Single Serum Studies In Pregnancy, Gerald A. Logrippo, Hajime Hayashi
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Hemagglutination-inhibition (HA-I) titres for rubella were studied in 200 nurses, 87 pregnant women, in plasma and serum pools, and in laboratory personnel. The percentage of individuals susceptible to rubella in the child-bearing ages was 11.5%> among the non-pregnant nurses and 23% among the pregnant women assayed at their first prenatal visit. Serodiagnosis of active rubella necessitates two or more serial serum studies during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Persistence Of ''Australia Antigenemia" In Mentally Retarded Children Seven Years After Virus Hepatitis, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo
Persistence Of ''Australia Antigenemia" In Mentally Retarded Children Seven Years After Virus Hepatitis, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Australia antigen and antibody were assayed in acute and convalescent (1, 4 and 6 months) phase sera from 80 children with infectious hepatitis in an institution for the mentally retarded. A higher incidence of Australia antigenemia was found in 18 of 40 (45%) mongoloid children as compared to 9 of 40 (23%) non-mongoloid children. Australia antigen persisted 7 years after the hepatitis epidemic in 11 mongoloid and 2 non-mongoloid children with hepatitis. None of the hepatitis group, with or without Australia antigenemia, demonstrated precipitable antibody to the Australia antigen. The discussion emphasizes the lack of virologic and immunologic evidence relative …
Rectal Cytology By An Improved Replica Method, Klaus Anselm, Victor Lawoyin, Jerry Blonsky
Rectal Cytology By An Improved Replica Method, Klaus Anselm, Victor Lawoyin, Jerry Blonsky
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The replica method aiding in rectal cytology is described and a modification of the slide applicator is recommended. Used in 75 patients, this replica method is a safe and useful tool for the diagnosis and followup of inflammatory bowel disease as well as for research purposes.
