Treatment Of Paget's Bone Disease With The Bisphosphonate Apd, Carlos A. Mautalen Dec 1983

Treatment Of Paget's Bone Disease With The Bisphosphonate Apd, Carlos A. Mautalen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Thirty-two patients with Paget's bone disease have been treated with the bisphosphonate APD. Nineteen had previously received treatment for Paget's disease with EHDP alone or in combination with calcitonin; 13 had not previously received treatment for Paget's disease. APD was given in a mean dose of 6.8 mg/kg of body weight during a period of 6 to 12 months. Bone pain disappeared or diminished in 91% of the patients. A very significant diminution of the biochemical indices of bone turnover was observed in all patients, but the response occurred faster in patients who had not previously received treatment for Paget's …

Carotid Artery Disease, Carotid Endarterectomy, And Behavior: A Critical Appraisal, Mark P. Kelly Sep 1983

Carotid Artery Disease, Carotid Endarterectomy, And Behavior: A Critical Appraisal, Mark P. Kelly

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We reviewed the recent literature on the relationship between carotid artery disease, carotid endarterectomy, and behavior. The methodological adequacy of each study and the complexities involved in interpreting behavioral changes in patients with carotid disease are emphasized. Experimental design issues qualify conclusions in all studies. The weight of the evidence suggests that carotid artery disease may result in cognitive impairment, and that carotid endarterectomy is followed by psychometrically determined cognitive improvement in some patients. Although characteristics of the subgroup of patients most likely to improve have been identified in preliminary investigations, the clinical significance of such improvement has not been …


Methodological Issues In Studying Treatment Effects In Patients With Cerebrovascular Disease, Mark W. Shatz Sep 1983

Methodological Issues In Studying Treatment Effects In Patients With Cerebrovascular Disease, Mark W. Shatz

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Evaluation of the neuropsychological effects of surgical treatment on cerebrovascular disease is beset by numerous methodological difficulties. These include problems specific to this patient population as well as others inherent in all retrospective studies. Five such problems are described: 1) nonrandomized subject selection; 2) dropout from follow-up; 3) natural history of cerebrovascular disease; 4) effects of hospitalization; and 5) the role of practice effects. This paper examines these methodological problems for their impact on our knowledge and proposes alternative research directions to address their shortcomings.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The surgical management of patients with cerebrovascular disease is reviewed. Our approach to the management of extracranial cerebral vasculature is discussed first, and increasingly more complex areas are then presented. Our discussion reviews the applications of carotid endarterectomy, extracranial-intracranial bypass procedures, and vertebral extracranial reconstruction.

The Effects Of Cerebrovascular Surgery On Behavior: What Has Been Demonstrated?, Laurence M. Binder Sep 1983

The Effects Of Cerebrovascular Surgery On Behavior: What Has Been Demonstrated?, Laurence M. Binder

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We studied the effect of the superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass (STA-MCA) procedure on neuropsychological function. Nineteen patients with cerebrovascular disease of the anterior carotid circulation (12 on surgical and seven on medical therapy) received an extensive battery of neuropsychological tests; the average test-retest interval was eight weeks. Both groups improved on some measures, and no patients deteriorated. There was no evidence of greater improvement by the surgical group. The results are compatible with a spontaneous remission/practice effect interpretation. A review of the carotid endarterectomy and STA-MCA bypass literature suggests that the null hypothesis of no effect …
