Use Of The Weibull Distribution For Analysis Of A Clinical Therapeutic Study In Rheumatoid Arthritis, W. R. Mccrum, J. T. Sharp, G. B. Bluhm Sep 1976

Use Of The Weibull Distribution For Analysis Of A Clinical Therapeutic Study In Rheumatoid Arthritis, W. R. Mccrum, J. T. Sharp, G. B. Bluhm

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This paper introduces the use of the Weibull distribution function for the analysis of small samples of clinical data. It is compared with the use of the conventional analysis of variance in determining the results of a study comparing the use of gold salts and a placebo in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Although the samples were small, 14 control patients and 13 who were treated, analysis of variance determined several significant differences between the two groups. The use of the Weibull distribution, however, not only confirmed these differences, but also determined several more differences between the two groups that …

Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis Associated With Dynamic Outflow Tract Obstruction: A Case Report, Armando Cesar Madrazo, Daniel T. Anbe, James J. Karo, Peter Torbey, Ellet H. Drake, Fareed Khaja, Sidney Goldstein

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hemodynamic and angiographic findings are described in a 27-year-old patient, who had undergone surgical operation for subvalvular membranous aortic stenosis. Left ventriculography revealed persistence or regrowth of the subvalvular fibrous ring, and hemodynamic data revealed associated dynamic obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. The authors emphasize the importance of uncovering associated dynamic obstruction by provocative maneuvers and use of Beta blockers.

Penetrating Abdominal Trauma: A Morbidity And Mortality Report Of A Growing Social Problem, F. Samhouri, C. Grodsinsky, T. A. Fox Jr. Sep 1976

Penetrating Abdominal Trauma: A Morbidity And Mortality Report Of A Growing Social Problem, F. Samhouri, C. Grodsinsky, T. A. Fox Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The management of penetrating abdominal wounds has become a necessity in most larger metropolitan hospitals. Most of these wounds are produced by low velocity gunshots, but some are stab wounds. Several recent advances have contributed to the more successful management of penetrating abdominal wounds. These include: 1) improvement in on-site care by various emergency medical services, 2) more rapid transportation of the injured to a facility equipped to care for such patients, 3) vigorous resuscitative and diagnostic measures, 4) prompt and adequate surgical intervention, 5) improvements in anesthesia techniques, and 6) improvements in blood banks. From 1969 to 1974, 843 …

The Association Of Acute Cerebellar Encephalopathy And Neuroblastoma, M. Reza Jahadi, John G. Whitcomb, Ratnaker Kini, Robert H. High Jun 1976

The Association Of Acute Cerebellar Encephalopathy And Neuroblastoma, M. Reza Jahadi, John G. Whitcomb, Ratnaker Kini, Robert H. High

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Acute cerebellar encephalopathy is a rare neurological disorder associated with neuroblastoma and is characterized by ataxia, somatic myoclonus and opsoclonus. The pathogenesis which underlies the relationship between the two conditions is obscure. One patient with neuroblastoma and acute cerebellar encephalopathy Is reported. The occurrence of neuroblastoma and acute cerebellar encephalopathy In this case may be coincidental but, on the basis of frequent recent reports of this association, a possible relationship between these two entities is entertained. It is therefore recommended that all patients with acute cerebellar encephalopathy be surveyed for unapparent neuroblastoma. The search should include chest and skeletal X-rays, …

Susceptibility Of Clinical Isolates Of Bacteria To Cefamandole, Cefoxitin And Cephalothin, R. Del Busto, A. Suarez, E. Quinn, D. Pohlod Jun 1976

Susceptibility Of Clinical Isolates Of Bacteria To Cefamandole, Cefoxitin And Cephalothin, R. Del Busto, A. Suarez, E. Quinn, D. Pohlod

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The in vitro susceptibility was determined of 274 isolates to cephalothin and two new antibiotics, cefamandole and cefoxitin. Cefamandole was comparable to cephalothin in preventing growth of cultures of the gram positive organisms except for penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus which was more sensitive to cephalothin. Cefamandole was more active than cephalothin against all the gram negative bacteria including Haemophilus influenzae and in addition it was active against many strains of Enterobacter sp. Cefoxitin was less active than cephalothin against the gram positive organisms but it was more active against most of the gram negative bacteria. In addition. It was active against …

Immunological Aspects Of Neoplastic Diseases, V. Radhakrishna Jun 1976

Immunological Aspects Of Neoplastic Diseases, V. Radhakrishna

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunological approach to neoplastic disease is gaining favor because malignant tumors are associated with immunodeficient states. Mesenchymal tumors have been seen in renal allograft recipients. The discovery of carcinoembryonic antigen, alfafetoprotein and other protein antigens associated with malignant diseases are other factors. Spontaneous regression of malignant neoplasm has been attributed to an effective immunologic process in the host. Identification of tumor specific antigens may explain these spontaneous tumor regressions. It may not be too optimistic to expect tumor vaccine of some sort within the next few years. B.C.G. and other nonspecific immunostimulants are under investigation for treatment of malignant …

Productivity Of The Roll-Streak Method To Perform Anaerobic Bacteriology In The Routine Clinical Laboratory, Thomas R. Neblett Jun 1976

Productivity Of The Roll-Streak Method To Perform Anaerobic Bacteriology In The Routine Clinical Laboratory, Thomas R. Neblett

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Data presented are derived from one year of performing routine clinical anaerobic bacteriology by the roll-streak tube method. 826 specimens from 1508 (54.8%) contained anaerobes. 162 specimens were polymicrobic (19.6%) and contained 528 strains of a total of 1051 isolated (50.2 %). 479 blood specimens contained 525 strains of anaerobes. Propionibacterium, considered a contaminant, occurred 209/210 times in blood as the sole isolate. Bacteroides occurred alone or polymicrobically 308 times and comprised 54.7% of the blood isolates and 32.5% of the total anaerobic genera isolated. Clostridium, Peptococcus and Fusobacterium were the next most frequently occurring anaerobes. The roll-streak method is …

Cushing's Disease: Spontaneous Remission Following Severe Headache, Raymond C. Mellinger Mar 1976

Cushing's Disease: Spontaneous Remission Following Severe Headache, Raymond C. Mellinger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A young woman was found to have persistent Cushing's syndrome one year after surgical removal of both hyperplastic adrenal glands. Improvement followed pituitary irradiation butshe developed skin pigmentation. Remission of the adrenal hyperfunction occurred only after several months of therapy with o,p'-DDD. Within 15 months, the recurrent disorder required a second course of DDD with resulting adrenal insufficiency. Eighteen months later, however, steroid supplements were no longer required and increasing Cortisol levels indicated still another imminent relapse. There was no enlargement of the sella turcica. The patient had received no treatment whatever for nearly nine months when she experienced a …

Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatic Duct Cannulation (Erpc): An Aid To Pancreatic Surgery, C. Grodsinsky, B. Schuman, B. E. Brush Mar 1976

Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatic Duct Cannulation (Erpc): An Aid To Pancreatic Surgery, C. Grodsinsky, B. Schuman, B. E. Brush

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Retrograde endoscopic pancreatic duct cannulation for evaluation of patients with chronic pancreatitis is reviewed over the last two years. Of 40 patients that were endoscoped, 30 had a successful pancreatogram. The X-ray findings fell into three groups: 1) single and multiple stenosis, 2) diffuse narrowing, and 3) apparently normal duct. This procedure proved of value in ruling out or delaying surgical operation in 10 persons. Twenty-one patients underwent operations. Thirteen had a 95% pancreatectomy, one had drainage of a necrotic collection thought to be a pseudocyst and one had a pseudocyst resected. One had a gastrojejunostomy and vagotomy bypassing a …

Bupivacaine As A Local Anesthetic For Hernia Repair, Joseph L. Ponka, James A. Sapala Mar 1976

Bupivacaine As A Local Anesthetic For Hernia Repair, Joseph L. Ponka, James A. Sapala

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Bupivacaine hydrochloride is a safe, useful local anesthetic agent for repair of groin hernias. Prolonged anesthesia, lasting six hours or longer, was observed In 94 of WO patients. No toxic effects involving the central nervous system were observed using a 0.25% solution with epinephrine. Hypotension and cardiac arrhythmia occurred in one patient. Wound complications, such as hematomas and ecchymosis, were more common with Bupivacaine than when Chlorprocaine was used. However, painstaking hemostasis, which required ligation of even the tiniest blood vessels, reduced the wound complications. As experience is gained in the use of Bupivacaine, complications will be reduced to a …
