Clinical And Histopathological Aspects Of Salivary Gland Tumors: A Review, Bruce N. Epker
Clinical And Histopathological Aspects Of Salivary Gland Tumors: A Review, Bruce N. Epker
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A presumptive clinical diagnosis of salivary gland tumor can usually be made by taking an accurate history, performing a careful clinical examination, and utilizing essential radiographic and sialographic aids. Once a tumor is identified, differential diagnosis between benign and/or malignant involvement, and the exact tumor type becomes more formidable, frequently requiring histological diagnosis. Since optimum treatment is dependent upon an accurate differential diagnosis and surgical management according to tumor type, the clinical and histological aspects of salivary gland tumors are reviewed. A thorough knowledge of these characteristics allows an accurate diagnosis and provides the indications for proper treatment.

Spontaneous Rupture Of The Esophagus: Report Of A Successfully Managed Case, Eduardo Arciniegas
Spontaneous Rupture Of The Esophagus: Report Of A Successfully Managed Case, Eduardo Arciniegas
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Spontaneous rupture of the esophagus should be suspected in any patient developing severe chest pain after vomiting. The diagnosis is substantiated by the presence of subcutaneous emphysema in the suprasternal region on physical examination and of mediastinal air on the plain chest roentgenogram. Further radiological confirmation may be obtained by oral administration of a watersoluble radio-opaque material. Immediate surgical repair of the esophageal tear is mandatory.
Osteoid Seams And Resorption Spaces In Standard Samples Of Human 6th And 11th Ribs, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost
Osteoid Seams And Resorption Spaces In Standard Samples Of Human 6th And 11th Ribs, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Studies of 6th and 11th rib samples taken at autopsy from 22 adults who had been seriously ill before death were compared, and it is provisionally concluded that the average number of bone forming and resorbing centers in a Unit amount of compacta are similar in each sampling site. More material on this continuing study of bone dynamics is scheduled for future issue of the MEDICAL JOURNAL.

Incarcerated Femoral Hernia, Joseph L. Ponka
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Careful analysis of 12 complicated cases of incarcerated femoral hernia gives clues toward the correct diagnosis of this problem. Knowledge of the symptoms can prevent dangerous delays in undertaking urgently-needed surgical repair. The unique anatomy involved requires careful clinical examination but surgery should not await x-ray studies.

Art In Psychotherapy, Robert R. Schopbach
Art In Psychotherapy, Robert R. Schopbach
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Art is a tool too often neglected in psychotherapy. A careful study of a patient's drawings will provide information concerning diagnosis, dynamics, and progress. If, in addition, the patient explains and elaborates upon the content and symbolism, the drawings become excellent psychotherapeutic devices providing an entry into the patient's unconscious.

This case history of a 45-year-old woman, who had been issued Dicumarol instead of Dronactin in a pharmacy-filled prescription, describes an emergency therapeutic program to control hemorrhage with vitamin K, adrenal corticosteroids, and the giving of fresh blood. In a patient with a bleeding disorder, unintentional ingestion of oral anticoagulants is to be suspected if the prothrombin time is markedly elevated, if the patient has been previotisly treated with an oral anticoagulant, or is engaged in a medical or paramedical occupation. Diagnosis is confirmed by finding a deficiency of factors II, VII, IV, and X. and by the presence of …

A Method Of Hospital Infection Surveillance Incorporating The Use Of The Computer, Bruce W. Steinhauer, Frank Cox, George H. C. Stobie, Edward L. Quinn
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The records of all patients in the hospital on a particular date were studied for hospital-acquired infections. Results were compared with a continuing surveillance based on discharge reporting. Collection of data was programmed for analysis by using the hospital computer. Thirteen per cent of the patients manifested an infection after admission, but before or on the survey day. Results elsewhere are similar. Areas of the hospital with a relatively higher incidence of infection did not have clusters of particular pathogens.
