Effect Of Normal Menstrual Cycle On Platelet Adhesiveness, Janet Mak Yeung

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Platelet adhesiveness was measured at intervals during the menstrual cycle in six normal females. Three normal males were studied during the .tame period of time to serve as controls. There was a significant difference of the variation of platelet adhesiveness between the two groups during the period of 30 days. Five out of six females showed much greater fluctuation than the males. No definite trend was observed in the platelet adhesiveness of females in relation to the menstrual cycle in this preliminary study. A larger number of samples from the population will be necessary to obtain a more accurate result.

Mixed Gonadal Stroma Cell Tumor Of The Testicle: A Case Report, Gerald B. Farrow, Arthur J. Johnson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Effects Of X-Irradiation On The Brain Of White Rats, Bernell K. Dalley

Theses and Dissertations

With the advent of the atomic age, a great deal of attention has been given to the effects of radiation of various types on the living organism. Some emphasis was placed also on the particular effects damaging radiation has on the central nervous system. Of particular importance was the dis -covery of the high resistance to irradiation exhibited by the central nervous system, and the observation of a latent period after exposure, during which the individual appears normal, followed by deterioration and death. Explan - ations of this unique reaction have caused some controversy and, currently, one of two theories …

Infectivity And Development Of Trichinella Spiralis In Germ-Free, Monocontaminated And Conventional Mice, Daulat Sitanggang

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of the experiment was to compare the development of Trichinella spiralis in germ-free, Lactobacillus casei monocontaminated, Escherichia coli monocontaminated and conventional mice. The criteria used in the experiments were the recovery of adults and larvae of T. spiralis after 72 hours and one month post-infection, respectively. which gave an indication of the effects of no bacteria or only a certain, single species of bacterium on the development of this nematode in mice.

Germ-free T. spiralis larvae were obtained by washing them several times with sterile normal saline, and treatment with antibiotics. The gavaging procedure was done without anesthetization …

Molecular Weight Determinations Of Some Salmonella Potsdam Bacteriophage Dna's, Winston H. Richards

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Two group A phages, P9c/2 and P4/2, were studied. Their density, sedimentation velocity, and biochemical properties were compared. Their densities were determined by density gradient centrifugation in 38.3% cesium chloride. Sedimentation velocity was used to determine their molecular weights. To accomplish this, the DNA of P9c/2 and P4/2 was labeled with tritium and T₂ DNA, labeled with ³²P, was used as a standard. The DNA of P9c/2 and P4/2 was separately mixed with T₂ DNA and centrifuged in a 0-15% sucrose gradient. The molecular weights were calculated using the formula D₂/D₁= (M_{2 …}

Bibliography Of Diseases And Parasites Of Marine Fish And Shellfish (With Emphasis On Commercially Important Species), Carl J. Sindermann

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The literature on diseases and parasites of marine animals has been accumulating at an accelerating rate in recent decades, and at a seemingly geometrical rate in the past few years. Reviews of selected aspects of the subject have appeared (Cheng, 1967; Sindermann, 1966; Sindermann and Rosenfield, 1967). References listed in these papers include a significant, but still a small part, of the available literature. With the proliferation of journals in many languages throughout the world, a complete bibliography, even in a narrow area of research, is almost an impossibility. Then too, the daily appearance of new published information represents an …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xlv. Schistotaenia Srivastavai N. Sp. (Cestoda: Amabiliidae) From The Red-Necked Grebe, Podiceps Grisegena (Boddaert), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The genus Schistotaenia Cohn, 1900, at present includes six species, all parasites of grebes (Podicipediformes). Among helminths found in a red-necked grebe, Podiceps grisegena (Boddaert), on October 18, 1966, at Anchorage, Alaska, were cestodes representing two species of Schistotaenia, of which one is described here as new. The host was an adult bird which evidently had been injured during migration.

This cestode is named in honor of Dr. H. D. Srivastava, in recognition of his significant contributions to helminthological research.

The Hypocalcemic Effects Of Actinomycin D And Mithramycin, Eduardo L. Reyes, Robert W. Talley

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Both actinomycin D and mithramycin are useful agents in the treatment of cancer. They can also produce hypocalcemia, a comparatively rare phenomenon in cancer. Two such cases are presented in detail. Neither patient had the classic symptoms of hypocalcemia. Instead, the clinical picture was more compatible with hypercalcemia. The mechanism of action of each drug is explained; therapeutic implications are made with regards to their synergistic effects when used in combination with the standard calcium-lowering agents. Attention is drawn to the inhibitory action of these two agents on the calcium-mobilizing effect of the parathyroid hormone. The hypocalcemic effects of these …

Osteological And Mylogical Comparisons Of The Head And Thorax Regions Of Cnemidophorus Tigris Septentrionalis Burger And Ameiva Undulata Parva Barbour And Nobel (Family Teiidae), Don Lowell Fisher, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The anterior osteological elements of the skull, lower jaw, and wrist along with the anterior myological characters discussed and figured in this report suggest that A. u. parva and C. t. septentrionalis are members of distinct groups which can be differentiated by internal morphologic characters. Although comparisons were restricted to highly geographically separated individuals of the same family, their general body form and structure appear to be similar.

A great number of anatomical structures are shared in common, but the significant differences between them include:

1. General skull appearance. The skull of C. is generally lighter, that is the bones …

In Vitro Kidney Preservation Techniques, S. G. Dienst

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Pinyon-Juniper Succession After Natural Fires On Residual Soils Of Mesa Verde, Colorado, James A. Erdman

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

A mountain brush vegetation typified by Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii) and serviceberry (Amelanchier utahensis) dominates the uplands of Mesa Verde National Park. There is evidence that this brush element is a successional stage that has been maintained by repeated natural fires in a large part of the Mesa Verde landscape. This study was conducted to determine the role of fire in the region's ecology, the nature of the climax pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) and Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) vegetation, and the major successional stages that lead to the climax condition.

Hypophyseal Growth Hormone: I. Control Of Secretion, M. Saeed Zafar, Raymond C. Mellinger, Lewis B. Morrow

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Growth hormone (GH) is a major hormone of the anterior pituitary gland. Once established, its secretion continues throughout life. GH was first recognized in 1866 as a factor controlling growth. More recently, it has been demonstrated as a vital regulator of fat, carboyhdrate and protein metabolism. In fact, GH influence on the intermediary metabolism is the major mechanism by which growth and development are regulated. Numerous hormonal and nonhormonal factors have been shown to modify the basic pattern of GH synthesis and secretion. In this article we have reviewed some of these nonhormonal factors.

Surreptitious Ingestion Of Oral Anticoagulants, Thomas H. Greidanus, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Raymond W. Monto

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hypoprothrombinemia secondary to surreptitious ingestion of coumarin or indanedione anticoagulants may be a difficult diagnosis for the unsuspecting physician. Four such case reports are presented. The disease should be suspected if the prothrombin time is markedly elevated and the individual is associated with the medical profession or has had previous treatment with oral anticoagulants. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding a deficiency in Factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X and the presence of the coumarin or indanedione anticoagulant in the blood. The motive generally is that of gaining attention rather than committing suicide. Liver disease. Vitamin K deficiency states …

Double Contrast Arthrography Of The Knee, Peter C. Larowe, Robert S. Ormond, Edwin Guise

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Arthrography is a safe and relatively simple diagnostic procedure which provides an accurate and graphic preoperative means of defining pathology of the knee. In those cases where the expeditious evaluation and diagnosis of knee injury are of prime importance, ie, the athlete and industrial compensation case, arthrography provides a significant contribution. The clinical pathological features, salient anatomy and technic of study of internal derangements of the knee are discussed. Selected double contrast arthrograms illustrate normal and abnormal findings. Arthrotomies were performed in 20 of the 32 patients in this study with a positive arthrogram-arthrotomy correlation of 85%.

Immunologic Status Of Uremic Patients, Gerald A. Logrippo, C. E. Rupe, Hajime Hayashi, Dean Lesher

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunologic status of 25 uremic patients was studied with a battery of tests evaluating the humoral and cytological aspects of immunity. The individual's humoral immune status was evaluated as follows: quantitation of the three major serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) expressed in mg/100 ml of serum and compared to established normal clinical standards (±2 SD/mean); qualitation of IgG and IgM evaluated by specific virus antibody titers and antitoxin values associated with IgG and by isoagglutinin tilers of the ABO blood groups associated with IgM. Immunoglobulin status is grouped into hyper- and hypo-immunoglobulin variations from normal and correlated with …

Cephalexin: In Vitro And In Vivo Studies, Frank Cox Jr., Edward L. Quinn, Bienvenido G. Gatmaitan, Nancy Peterson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cephalexin, a derivative of cephalosporin C, produces high serum and urine concentrations after oral administration. In addition, it shows good activity in vitro against most gram-positive and some gram-negative organisms. This study reports the in vitro susceptibility to cephalexin of a series of clinical isolates, the serum levels and urine concentrations in human volunteers and the results of its use in infections due to susceptible organisms. Results of in vitro susceptibility testing reveal that cephalexin was effective against most strains of the gram-positive organisms tested — group A streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci — although the MIC's are higher than those …
