Stress Urinary Incontinence In The Human Female: Gravity And Ecomorphologic Influences On Bladder And Urethral Function Of The Human Female, C. Paul Hodgkinson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study was undertaken to determine if the biped stale of the human female constituted a stress force in urethrovesical physiological function. To arrive at realistic conclusions, the ecomorphologic changes incidental to the conquest of gravity by the vertebrates have been reviewed. Accepting the evolutionary precepts as expressed by Hobart Smith that "if all parts of the evolutionary chain were known, it would be impossible to draw a logical distinction between man and nonman, Romer slated "Bone for bone, muscle for muscle, organ for organ, almost every feature of the ape is repeated in the human body. The differences are …

Aqueous Microbiology: The Possible Role Of Cell Wall Deficient Bacteria In Uveitis, Philip C. Hessburg, Lioa H. Mattman, Carolyn Barth, Lloyd T. Dutcheshen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Samples of aqueous humor were obtained from the anterior chamber of patients with uveitis. Bacterial L-forms, or cell wall deficient forms, were recovered from 11 of 19 eyes with unexplained uveitis. These bacterial variants were cultured on newer, highly specialized media and stained with acridine orange. This stain demonstrates fluorescence of nucleic acids under UV microscopy.

Initial Studies Of Isolated Kidney Perfusion, Stanley G. Dienst, Michael A. Krieg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Angiographic and gravametric studies of dog kidneys perfused with electrolyte, Dextran, or albumin solution are presented to demonstrate the possibility of extending organ preservation for transplantation without loss of function. Findings include a reduction in flow and weight gain with the nonprotein solutions and maintenance of flow with albumin solution. Gross changes of the perfused kidneys are also described.

A New Full Orifice Disc Valve For Mitral Replacement, Rodman E. Taber, Yasuharu Imai

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Because of dissatisfaction with certain features of the currently available ball and disc valve prostheses when implanted in patients with mitral stenosis and a small volume left ventricle, a full orifice discoid valve has been designed which avoids many of these shortcomings. The valve has been tested mechanically in a pulse duplicator and compared lo existing prostheses. High speed cine studies were used to evaluate turbulence. Implantation was carried out in animals. Evaluation by these various methods indicates that the valve is satisfactory for human implantation and may have significant advantages over other artificial valves when used in patients with …

Chronic Acute Hepatitis, Klaus Anselm

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The current literature concerning chronic acute hepatitis is reviewed. The clinical picture, morphology, laboratory data and etiology are discussed. It is pointed out that much work is still to be done toward fully understanding this disease. A program of treatment is suggested.

Decompressive Laminectomy In The Management Of Spinal Epidural Metastases, J. Speed Rogers, Robert S. Knighton

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In a series of 60 patients undergoing decompression laminectomy for metastatic malignancy, the median survival was 3.3 months with 11 patients (18%) living for at least one year and ambulating during part of this survival period. Forty-three per cent of the group were able to ambulate for at least some period postoperatively. If a patient could ambulate preoperatively he had a two-thirds chance of ambulating afterwards; conversely, if he could not ambulate preoperatively. he had a two-thirds chance of not ambulating postoperatively. The lymphoma group had the best prognosis. Long lesions and highly vascular tumors fared poorly. Paralysis (as defined …

Eosinophils, Lawrence C. Sweet

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Despite the fact that the eosinophilic leukocyte has been known as a distinct entity for 123 years and has been the subject of extensive research and numerous scientific papers, its precise function remains an enigma. A diverse array of clinical conditions are known to be associated with eosinophilia but even here the role of this cell in the pathological process remains unknown. Recent experimenlal work suggests that allergens, antigens, antigen-antibody complexes, and components of complement may function as eosinophilotactic stimuli. Eosinophils phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes as well as a variety of particulate substances. Their granules have been identified as lysosomes and …

An Economic Analysis Of Some Aspects Of Medical Service Availability In Northwest South Dakota, Leland G. Bierman

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

A community which has its own hospital and doctor is benefited in many ways. First, the people in the community are near medical care in times of emergency. Second, hospital patients from the community are near family and friends when receiving care. Third, a community may be benefited economically by the presence of a hospital facility because additional jobs are provided, and people from the surrounding area are given increased incentive to come to the town in purchasing other goods. Also, adequate medical services are of importance in attracting new industry into a town. The trend today, however, is away …

The Migratory Route Of Toxocara Canis In Gerbils, Thomas Carl Baker

Theses and Dissertations

Toxocara canis (Werner, 1782) is the round worm most frequently found in dogs. From surveys in the United States, approximately 40-100% of young dogs and 5-70% of older dogs are infected with this parasite. Of 97 adult dogs surveyed in Provo, Utah, in 1968, 17. 5% were infected with T. canis (Fox, personal communication). Adult dogs become infected by ingesting food contaminated with the infective eggs from this parasite. Puppies are most frequently infected prenatally from their mother (Nifontov, I 949; Yutuc, 1949; Sprent, 1958; Webster, I 958; Douglas and Baker, 1959; Scothorn, Koutz and Groves, 1965; Wiseman. 19 69).

Kinetic Studies Of The Cell Elongation Phenomenon In Etiolated Pisum Stem Segments, Grant M. Barkley

Masters Theses

The short-term growth response of etiolated pea stem segments (Pisum sativum L., var. Alaska) was investigated using a high-resolution growth recording device. The immediate effect of treatment with indoleacetic acid (IAA) is an inhibition of growth. This inhibition lasts about 10 minutes and then the rate of elongation rises abruptly to a new steady rate about 4 times the rate of elongation before auxin treatment. This rapid steady rate of elongation, however, continues for only about 22 minutes before declining suddenly to a lower steady rate of growth about 2 times the rate of elongation before the addition of auxin. …

The Effect Of Exercise On Metabolic Rate With Time In Overweight And Normal Weight Subjects, Roberta Jewell Keswick

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Previous studies in the Lome Linda University laboratory showed that obese subjects on an exercise program lost approximately one pound more per week as compared to a non-exercise group. Energy expenditure calculations of the exercise did not account for the total caloric deficit required to lose the additional pound. The present study was designed to investigate changes in BMR and metabolic rate with time for normal weight and overweight subjects involved in a practical exercise program. The relationship of changes in BMR and metabolic rate in coping with the problems of obesity were also studied.

Fifteen subjects, eight overweight and …

Mandibular Nerve Regeneration Through Solid And Canalized Bone And Plaster Grafts, Lawrence D. Day

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Utilizing an extra-oral approach and sterile technique, left mandibular ostectomy was performed on five miniature pigs. The segment removed was 3 cm long and included the inferior border, mandibular canal and, in some cases, apices of a molar tooth.

Bone and plaster grafts (one solid and one canalized of each) were used to fill these defects. The fifth was left with no graft.

The objective was to learn the effect of each of these procedures on regeneration of the mandibular nerve across the defect. It was hypothesized that canals through the grafts would facilitate regeneration.

X-rays were taken periodically. The …

Digenetic Trematodes Of Marine Teleost Fishes From Biscayne Bay, Florida, Robin M. Overstreet

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

This study includes 111 species of Digenea from 69 of 113 species of teleost fishes examined from Biscayne Bay, Florida. Biscayne Bay represents the reported northern limit along the Atlantic coast for all but 22 of the 111 species. It represents the southern limit for only one, Didymocystis scomberomori. From the known collections reported in the literature, the Digenea from Biscayne Bay appear to consist primarily of a tropical fauna. Species previously known from the Pacific Ocean only are Botulisaccus pisceus and Pseudocreadium scaphosomum. There are 81 new host records.

Two new genera are created: Claribulla (Felloclistomatidae) and …

The Clinical Use Of Fluorine18 In Bone Scanning, R. A. Gatesi, A. T. Vulpetti, T. L. Kosnik, W. G. Tucker, R. W. Talley

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Roentgenograms are frequently inadequate in the detection of early osseous metastases. Isotope bone scan is a more sensitive diagnostic procedure. Reported here are findings on 40 patients with known or suspected osseous involvement using the short-lived radionuclide 18F. Comparison with standard roentgenograms and clinical follow-up demonstrated 11 early detections. 18F was found to be a very suitable agent for isotope bone scanning. Ilustrative cases are presented

Primary Closure And Iliac Osteotomy In The Treatment Of Exstrophy Of The Bladder: A Case Report, Louis Z. Shifrin, Arthur Johnson, Lester Weiss

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Exstrophy of the bladder is a rare but serious congenital affliction. Untreated, exstrophy is associated with unacceptable morbidity and mortality. A case report is presented in which primary closure of the bladder and bilateral iliac osteotomy was successfully employed to gain anatomic correction of the bladder defect. However, the value of this surgical technique in restoring normal function of the lower urinary tract system is questionable.
