Studies On Uveitis Part Ii: Hypotheses With Case Reports, Philip C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A number of patients with and without uveitis are used to show that this study of aqueous microbiology suggests the following hypotheses: 1. Routine techniques currently used in most microbiology laboratories overlook classical and variant bacteria which might be isolated from clinical specimens with improved microbiological techniques. 2. Bacterial forms may be present in other ocular tissue when not present in the aqueous. 3. Polymicrobial infections probably occur rather frequently, especially in chronic or subacute inflammatory states. 4. Alterations in various host factors may subject some persons to a greater incidence of inflammatory episodes including uveitis. 5. Antibiotics used in …

The Effect Of 72 Consecutive Hours In The Coronary Care Unit On The Night Sleep Of 10 Patients Age 65 And Older, Eugenia J. Creason

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The prevalence of heart disease in the population over age 65 has contributed to the increasing number of aged patients hospitalized in critical care units (Gsell, 1977). Changes which occur in the process of aging and in cardiac disease should be considered when providing nursing care to these patients. A disturbance in the sleep wakefulness cycle resulting in a decrease of restorative sleep is a major change occurring at age 65 and after (Feinberg, 1967). The cardiac patient finds that it takes longer to go to sleep, and then awakens often during the night (Karacan et al., 1969).

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.

Xeroradiography & Conventional Radiography : Comparative Imaging Of The Temporomandibular Joint, Nelson R. Gatov

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the application of Xeroradiography for imaging the Temporomandibular Joint using the Updegrave and Weinberg positioning boards and to compare these images to those obtained by conventional radiography using the same positioning boards.

A cadaver head in which three spherical radiopaque implants had been placed was used in this study. A General Electric Model 1000 (Dental Unit) was the source of radiation. The conventional radiographs were produced on Dupont Cronex 2DC film and processed by a Phillips 810 automatic processed by a Xerox "125 System".

Cephalometric Objectives For The Maxillary Central Incisor, John Mickey Damerell

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A cephalometric study was conducted to determine the ideal inclination of the maxillary central incisor for various facial patterns. Selected measurements were made on lateral headplate tracings of three samples: ideal, random and Class III malocclusions. Statistical analysis of data included means, standard deviations, simple correlations and stepwise regressions.

The Frankfort plane was found to be the most reliable reference plane when measuring the inclination of the maxillary central incisor. The maxillary central incisor inclination was found to be dependent upon the lower incisor position and inclination, chin position and the anterior cranial base inclination. A formula was produced to …

This exploratory study was designed to provide descriptive information about the doctors' perceptions.

Results are reported from interviews with seventeen gynecologists from the Portland metropolitan area in Oregon. Attempts were made to interview all female gynecologists in the area. Male gynecologists …

Rationale And Results Of Anatomic Repair Of Esophageal Hiatus Hernia, Conrad R. Lam

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A logical method of repair of esophageal hiatus hernia based on anatomic principles was proposed nearly 25 years ago by the late Phillip Allison. There was general agreement that his operation had advantages, but because of a disappointing number of recurrences and problems with reflux, more complicated operations were devised. Some of these involved plication of the stomach around the lower esophagus (Nissen, Belsey). In a series of 562 operations for hiatus hernia at the Henry Ford Hospital, there has been no significant deviation from the Allison technic. Complicating lower esophageal rings (Schatzki) have been excised. There has been no …

Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis Associated With Dynamic Outflow Tract Obstruction: A Case Report, Armando Cesar Madrazo, Daniel T. Anbe, James J. Karo, Peter Torbey, Ellet H. Drake, Fareed Khaja, Sidney Goldstein

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hemodynamic and angiographic findings are described in a 27-year-old patient, who had undergone surgical operation for subvalvular membranous aortic stenosis. Left ventriculography revealed persistence or regrowth of the subvalvular fibrous ring, and hemodynamic data revealed associated dynamic obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. The authors emphasize the importance of uncovering associated dynamic obstruction by provocative maneuvers and use of Beta blockers.

This is the second of two articles on the Henry Ford Hospital screening, referral, and follow-up program for high blood pressure. The first reported on the screening results of the program, along with associated epidemiological findings. This article presents the results of referral and follow-up. During the period of March 27 through December 11, 1975, 808 people were screened; 196 (24%) were found to have uncontrolled high blood pressure and were referred to physicians for diagnosis and possible treatment for hypertension. The program is currently following up with these people and their physicians to insure successful referral and maintenance of …

Use Of The Weibull Distribution For Analysis Of A Clinical Therapeutic Study In Rheumatoid Arthritis, W. R. Mccrum, J. T. Sharp, G. B. Bluhm

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This paper introduces the use of the Weibull distribution function for the analysis of small samples of clinical data. It is compared with the use of the conventional analysis of variance in determining the results of a study comparing the use of gold salts and a placebo in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Although the samples were small, 14 control patients and 13 who were treated, analysis of variance determined several significant differences between the two groups. The use of the Weibull distribution, however, not only confirmed these differences, but also determined several more differences between the two groups that …
