Carcinoma Of The Fallopian Tube, Victor Gantus, Bruce H. Drukker, C. Paul Hodgkinson Dec 1971

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 Dec 1971

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 Dec 1971

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 Dec 1971

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 Dec 1971

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 Sep 1971

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 Sep 1971

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 Sep 1971

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 Sep 1971

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.

Critical Factors In The Management Of Liver Abscesses, Melvin A. Block, Hubert M. Allen Sep 1971

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 Sep 1971

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.
