Nutritional Aspects In The Care Of The Child With Cleft Lip And Palate, Mary E. Keitel

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Proper nutrition is essential in the care of the infant with cleft lip or palate, as these infants are often plagued with feeding difficulties from birth. This paper reviews recent literature on the many feeding practices in use today and discusses the current trend toward a multidisciplinary approach to treatment for the cleft lip/palate child. It also presents a brief review of experimental animal studies which have implicated nutritional deficiences in the causation of cleft lip/palate.

What's New In Crohn's Disease Treatment, Francis J. Owens

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Progress in the management of Crohn's disease is limited by our inability to compare different patients. Two methods of evaluating the severity of disease have recently been published. Of these, the National Cooperative Crohn's Disease Study (NCCDS) method has been utilized in a study reported on at several national meetings but still in progress. Antibiotics in intensive prolonged dosage, e.g. ampicillin, 500 mg qid for several months, have recently been reported to benefit greater than 90% of patients not responding to conventional therapy. Metronidazole and dapsone continue to be mentioned in letters to journals. Sulfasalazine has been found useful in …

Refractory Hypercalcemia In Sarcoidosis: Exacerbation By Thiazide Diuretics, Differentiation From Primary Hyperparathyroidism, And Possible Role Of Prolactin, A. M. Parfitt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hypercalcemia in a patient with sarcoidosis was made worse by a thiazide diuretic initially given to control hypercalciuria alone. The hypercalcemia was unusually resistant to corticosteroid treatment during the summer even after the thiazide diuretic had been discontinued. Lack of response to corticosteroid together with decreased tubular reabsorption of phosphate and increased tubular reabsorption of calcium suggested associated primary hyperparathyroidism, but PTH was undetectable by immunoassay, and nephrogenous cyclic AMP excretion was zero. Amenorrhea, galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia were found to be due to a pituitary tumor which was removed. The experience with this patient suggests that: 1) exacerbation of hypercalcemia …

Effect Of Glucagon And Methylprednisolone On Pancreatectomized Recipients Of Whole Pancreas Allografts, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Michael Zammit, Krishna D. Valjee

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Glucagon alone or in combination with methylprednisolone was an adequate therapeutic adjuvant for pancreatectomized recipients of whole pancreas allografts. All recipients were minimally immunosuppressed with azathioprine, 5.0 mg/K/day for three days, then 2.5 mg/K/day. The morphological, functional, and survival response after whole pancreas transplantation indicated a trend of improvement in the treated groups. Only the groups of dogs receiving glucagon alone or in combination with methylprednisolone survived more than two weeks after transplantation. This therapy has proven to be effective for whole pancreas transplantation.

Effect Of Perfusate Osmolarity On Hearts Preserved Under Hypothermic Pulsatile Perfusion For 24 Hours, Luis H. Toledo-Pereya, Manuel Chee, Richard C. Lillehei

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Canine hearts preserved under hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (24 hours) with an osmolarity of 340 mOsm/L had better preservation and transplantation response than hearts perfused at an osmolarity of 310 and 270 mOsm/L. The hearts perfused at 340 mOsm /L survived an average of 22.6 days after transplantation. This survival was significantly (p>0.05) better than that observed after fresh transplantation (13.4 days average). Hearts perfused at 270 mOsm /L had a significantly (p>0.05) lower survival after transplantation (5.8 days average) than the fresh allografts or the hearts perfused at 310 or 340 mOsm / L. Similar survival times were …

The Quantitative Determination Of 3-Oxo-Bile Acids, W. T. Beher, G. J. Lin, J. Sanfield, S. Stradnieks

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A new method for the rapid quantification of 3-oxo-bile acids has been developed. From 5 to 120 μg of oxo-acid in aqueous or ethanolic media are reduced with sodium borohydride. The resulting 3α- and 3β-hydroxy acids are then oxidized in a reaction catalyzed by 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, during which nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is reduced to NADH. The absorbance of the reaction mixture is determined at 340 nm and is directly proportional to the amount of 3-oxo-acid in the original sample. The method is fully compatible with that used in determining 3α-hydroxy-bile acids.

Studies On Uveitis Part I: Aqueous Studies, Philip C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Aqueous microbiological and cytological studies were performed on 134 anterior chamber taps done on 118 patients both with and without uveitis. Cell wall defective bacterial forms (CWDF) were recovered from about 40% of these aqueous specimens and classical bacteria were recovered from 12%. A statistically significant difference could not be found between the incidence of bacterial cell wall defective forms in the various anatomical types of uveitis. There were hints from this work that the presence of CWDF In the aqueous was more frequent in younger patients with uveitis, early in the uveitis attack, if there were multiple foci of …

Milestones Leading To The Development Of Spinal Surgery In The Late 19th Century, D. J. Canale

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The significant amount of spinal surgery in neurological practice today prompts a survey of the historical development of surgical treatment of disorders of the spine. Any discussion tracing the events leading to modern surgical practice must necessarily contain the contributions of men of medicine through the centuries; therefore, neurosurgery as practiced today is greatly indebted to the efforts of courageous and dedicated men in world history extending to the early Egyptians. Overcoming seemingly insurmountable barriers of prejudice bred of ignorance, societal customs, and religious tradition, these fathers of medicine have contributed the knowledge and experimental evidence which form the cornerstone …

Clinical Uses Of Biofeedback: A Review Of Recent Research, Richard M. Lee, Scott E. Baldwin, Julia A. Lee

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Biofeedback refers to a special type of operant conditioning (ie, a category of learning) in which subjects acquire control over physiological processes through the feedback of information. Its methodology is based upon principles of behavioral science developed in the laboratory through experimentation. It has been conclusively demonstrated that humans (and other animals) can learn to control such actions as EKG parameters, blood pressure, body temperature, EEG, individual motor units, and glandular secretions. Clinically, biofeedback has been applied to a wide variety of psycho-physiologic disorders in which a measurable response requires alteration. The best established applications are tension and migraine headaches, …

The Effect Of Endodontic Therapy On The Incidence Of Radiation Caries In Dogs, James A. Abbott

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Endodontic therapy was evaluated as a possible control or prevention modality of radiation type dental caries in dogs. Two adult male dogs with permanent dentitions had endodontic therapy performed on alternating teeth in each jaw. The nontreated teeth served as controls.

The dogs were irradiated with 7000 rad Cobalt-60 radiation fractionated over an eight week period. The dogs were killed at 60 and 182 days post-irradiation. The teeth were removed from the jaws and immersed in methylene blue dye, sectioned, and the dye penetration pattern photographed. Diffusion of the dye into the tooth structure was quantified and statistically analyzed.

Apical Closure Induction Using Bone Growth Factors And Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Kenneth W. Tittle

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This study compared the ability of three different bone growth factor combinations with that of Ca(OH)₂ to stimulate apical closure as well as the effectiveness of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as an apical barrier. Fifty-six roots of second and fourth mandibular premolars of seven six- month old beagle dogs were used. Periradicular lesions were created over a four week period. The canals were cleaned and shaped and filled with Ca(OH)₂ for one week. They were then irrigated and received one of seven different treatments in a balanced design. Growth factors were placed in a carboxymethylcellulose carrier and delivered …
