Aging: The Last And Greatest Challenge, Bernard L. Strehler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The Edsel B. Ford Memorial Lectures, which are sponsored jointly by the Edsel B. Ford Institute for Medical Research and the Henry Ford Hospital, have been held annually since 1952. The following is an adaptation of Dr. Strehler's lecture before staff doctors and guests, including pathologists, physiologists, biochemists, physicists, biologists and clinicians from Michigan and Ontario.

The Cerebellopontile Angle, The Blood Supply Of The Brain Stem And The Reticular Formation: Anatomical And Functional Correlations Relevant To Surgery Of Acoustic Tumors, Jose Bebin

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The cerebellopontile angle and the vascular supply of the adjacent brain stem and cerebellum are susceptible to compression and damage by tumor and may be injured, directly or indirectly, during surgery. Awareness of the normal anatomical features of the region is valuable to the neuropathologist, the neurosurgeon and the neuro-otologist. Following is the first of a two-part presentation which describes the anatomy of the cerebellopontile angle, the vascular supply of the brain stem and its pathophysiology.

Tetracycline-Based Histological Measurement Of Corticalendosteal Bone Formation In Normal And Osteoporotic Rib, Sam Jett, Kent Wu, Harold M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

It is necessary to understand the pathophysiology of osteoporosis in order to cure or prevent it. This involves establishing normal standards of bone formation and comparing these with measurements in osteoporotics. Here the authors present data collected through more sophisticated techniques than have been available previously, and offer some conclusions as to their implications.

Endocrinological Psychiatry And Psychology, M. Bleuler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This is the text of a lecture given before the Henry Ford Hospital medical staff by Dr. Bleuer, who is the son of Eugen Bleuler, his predecessor as chairman of psychiatry at the University of Zurich and the man who first named "schizophrenia". It is printed here with Dr. Bleuler's permission.

Intrathecal Cytosine Arabinoside In Hodgkin's Disease With Central Nervous System Manifestations, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Robert W. Talley

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This report of the beneficial response in central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of a patient with Hodgkin's disease to the intrathecal administration of cytosine arabinoside suggests that this drug may have value in the treatment of CNS involvement by lymphoma and acute leukemia and of some brain tumors. Its use, for the first time via the intrathecal route in the present case, was well tolerated in two series of treatments.

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.

Changing Times For Professional Nurses, Helen E. Harper

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Suggestions for making better use of the available supply of nurses and for the training of future nurses are made by the author, who is a graduate (1947) of the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing and has been director of nursing at three Michigan hospitals.

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.

Relationship Of Vertebral Size To Fracture In Osteoporotic Spines, Richmond W. Smith, Peter M. Taft

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study is an extension of early observations that Negro women were free of vertebral fractures and had lower mean values for vertebral dimensions than white women. Skeletal dimensions should be considered in the further study of osteoporosis and its structural consequences, the authors state.

Treatment Of Hyperthyroidism From The Autonomous Multinodular Goiter, J. Martin Miller, Richard E. Weber, Melvin A. Block

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

47 patients with large multinodular goiters and "non-Graves" hyperthyroidism were treated surgically or given radioiodine therapy. The severity of the disease and cardiac complications were comparable in each group. Results favor subtotal thyroidectomy if the disease is other than mild or if atrial fibrillation is present.

Psychiatric Emergencies, W. J. Cassidy

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Types of psychiatric emergencies seen in general practice or in a hospital emergency setting are defined, along with recommendations for handling. Also discussed are P.E. in children, methods of detecting the potential suicide and some conclusions based on a 2562 patient survey in one hospital.

Infection In The Newborn Infant And Its Association With Prolonged Rupture Of The Amniotic Membranes, Philip J. Howard, A. Robert Bauer

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Infections in newborn infants should be suspected and treatment started whenever birth is prolonged following rupture of the membranes. These studies show that risk increases as rupture time gets longer. Selected antibiotics at proper dosages are recommended as preventive measures.
