Wrongful Life And Wrong Rules: Abuse Of The Normal Range Concept, James W. Winkelman

Syracuse Scholar (1979-1991)

James W. Winkelman, M.D., is Professor of Pathology and Director of Laboratories at the State University of New York Upstate Medical Center. Despite the tempering influence of education at the University of Chicago (B.A.) and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (M.D.), he is inclined to become embroiled in topics just beyond his primary expertise. This exercise in law and government developed from personal experiences.

Serial Cardiovascular Adaptations During Pregnancy, Mark Vincent Hart

Dissertations and Theses

Maternal cardiovascular adaptations appear to be essential in order to supply extra circulation to both the developing fetus and maternal system during a successful pregnancy. Since inadequate cardiovascular adjustments may produce abortions or maternal morbidity, the characterization of maternal cardiovascular changes during pregnancy and the elaboration of the underlying mechanism for these changes are essential to the understanding of how the heart enlarges during pregnancy and what significance this enlargement might have. To provide needed information regarding this time course and extent of maternal cardiac enlargement and the hormonal and hemodynamic changes which may be responsible for these changes, the …

The Development And Evaluation Of A Seminar For Teachers On The Awareness And Management Of Allergic Conditions Of Their Students In The Classroom, Elwin C. Munson

Dissertations

Problem. Many children with allergic problems go without treatment because their problems go unrecognized by both their parents and teachers. The purpose of this project was to bring about change on the part of teachers enabling them better to address allergic problems in their students. Literature was reviewed with respect to allergies and with respect to the use of inservice seminars for teachers. The posttest means for all three areas of measurement of the seminar group and control group were adjusted for pretest scores by analysis of covariance which indicated a significant difference in favor of the seminar group in …

Protein Contributions Of The Male Accessory Organs To The Composition Of Human Seminal Plasma As Determined By High Resolution Two-Dimensional Electrophoresis, Edward E. Gaunt

Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences

Human Seminal Plasma was evaluated using a High Resolution Two-Dimensional Electrophoresis technique adapted by this laboratory. Seminal plasma from healthy volunteers with recently proven fertility were characterized using this technique to establish "normal" protein distribution patterns in the two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel slab. In addition, time studies were performed on selected specimens to determine the effects of liquefaction on seminal plasma protein composition within the first several hours after collection. Split ejaculates were collected for identification and elaboration of accessory organ components in the whole seminal plasma specimen. A more direct approach to accessory organ component analysis involved electrophoresis of semen …

Hyperviscosity Syndrome Complicating Rheumatoid Arthritis: Report Of Two Additional Cases And Review Of The Literature, Michael R. Lovy, Mark C. Kranc, Gilbert B. Bluhm, Jeanne M. Riddle, Paul D. Stein

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A hyperviscosity syndrome developed in two patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Analytic ultracentrifugation of the sera from one patient demonstrated 22S complexes. Intermediate, 22S, and 31S complexes were found in the second case. Platelet aggregometry and electron microscopy surveys of the platelet reactivity in one patient demonstrated inhibition of platelet reactivity caused by the presence of the high molecular weight complexes. These abnormalities, as well as the clinical bleeding, whole blood, and plasma viscosity, became normal after treatment. In vivo leukocytic function was studied with the Rebuck skin window technique, and phagosomal inclusions were observed in both the polymorphonuclear neutrophils and …

The Measurement Of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin For Pregnancy Testing, Carolyn S. Feldkamp, William H. Pfeffer

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

/Among many measurable hormones, human chorionic gonadotropin (FICG) is commonly used for pregnancy testing because it is very sensitive and relatively specific. Pregnancy can be identified shortly after implantation. Because some reagents cross-react with luteinizing hormone (LH), the sensitivity of urine tests has been adjusted to maintain specificity. Radioreceptor assay s on serum are more sensitive than urine tests but similarly lack specificity. The problems of LH cross-reactivity are eliminated by antisera specific for the beta subunit. Quantitation of HCG provides additional information useful in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy, providing a prognosis in threatened abortion, and following neoplasms. Considerations of cost, …

Primary Hyperparathyroidism: The Continuing Saga Of Surgical Problems, Melvin A. Block

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Continuing problems in the management and surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism include the localization of the elusive single tumor, the recognition and management of multiple gland involvement, prompt confirmation and operative treatment for hypercalcemic crisis, delineation of a liberal but selective policy relative to surgery for apparent uncomplicated hyperparathyroidism in the elderly, and recognition of the surgeon's responsibility to determine the extent of the operation on the basis of operative findings, realizing that histologic study may not confirm apparent gross abnormalities despite subsequent clinical recovery. When all four glands are involved in primary hyperparathyroidism, subtotal parathyroidectomy is recommended except for …

Echocardiographic Identification Of Left Ventricular Cavity Obliteration, Vidyadhar R. Gandra, Mohsin Alam, Fareed Khaja, Sidney Goldstein, Jeffrey B. Lakier

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We identified 22 patients with angiographic left ventricular cavity obliteration (LVCO), of whom 15 were available for M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiographic evaluation. All 15 patients had chest pain, and 13 had long-standing hypertension. Electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy was present in ten patients. The echocardiographic criterion for LVCO was apposition of the left ventricular septum with the left ventricular posterior endocardium during systole as demonstrated by either M-mode or two-dimensional systems. LVCO was demonstrated during systole by M-mode echocardiography in seven of 15 patients and by two-dimensional echocardiography in 14 patients. LVCO could not be demonstrated in ten randomly …

Assessment Of The Orifice Area Of Bioprosthetic Valves By Orifice-View Roentgenography, Paul D. Stein, James F. Brymer, Daniel T. Anbe, Hani N. Sabbah, Gordon M. Folger Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Orifice-view angiography permits us to visualize en face the orifice of the aortic or mitral valve. The radiopaque annulus of bioprosthetic valves assists in permitting the angiographer to position the patient exactly, so that the valve can be seen as if looking directly into the orifice. Orifice-view angiography of porcine bioprosthetic valves has been useful in assessing the size and configuration of the valve orifice. It can reveal a failure of leaflet opening that would indicate degeneration, even when hemodynamic measurements remain equivocal.

Natural History Of The Porcine Bioprosthetic Heart Valve, Donald J. Magilligan Jr., Joseph W. Lewis Jr., J. Lancelot Lester Iii, Paul D. Stein, Mohsin Alam, Jeffrey B. Lakier, Julio C. Davilia, David W. Smith

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The porcine bioprosthesis has been the prosthetic valve of choice at Henry Ford Hospital since October 1971. By 1979, 23 cases of degeneration had been seen, and the rate seven years after implantation was 16%. Now, with a ten-year follow-up, there are 41 degenerated valves. After seven years, the percent free of degeneration is 88%, (SE of 2% [standard error]); at eight years, 82% (SE of 2.9%,); at nine years, 80% (SE of 3.4%); and at ten years, the percent free of degeneration is 69% (SE of 6.5%,). There was no difference in degeneration between men and women, between aortic …

Frequency Content Of Heart Sounds And Systolic Murmurs In Patients With Porcine Bioprosthetic Valves: Diagnostic Value For The Early Detection Of Valvular Degeneration, Paul D. Stein, Hani N. Sabbah, Jeffrey B. Lakier, Stephen R. Kemp, Donald J. Magilligan Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The frequency content of heart sounds and murmurs in patients with implanted bioprosthetic valves may reveal evidence of degenerative changes before such changes are clinically apparent. An increased dominant frequency of the heart sound caused by a bioprosthetic valve in either the aortic or mitral positions suggests stiffening of the leaflets. While a musical systolic murmur of a bioprosthetic valve in the mitral position suggests flutter from a torn, insufficient leaflet, limited observations of musical systolic murmurs in the aortic position do not seem to indicate a degenerated valve.

Fluid Dynamic Stresses In The Region Of A Porcine Bioprosthetic Valve, Hani N. Sabbah, Paul D. Stein

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Mechanical forces caused by the dynamics of blood flow in the region of porcine bioprosthetic valves may directly injure the valve as well as formed elements of the blood. Previous in vitro studies in our laboratory evaluated quantitatively the fluid dynamic stresses in the region of such valves. In this paper we discuss our results in relation to fluid dynamic stresses found in patients with normal and diseased natural aortic valves. The levels of fluid dynamic stresses that may produce mechanical injury to erythrocytes and platelets are reviewed. These may indicate the extent to which fluid dynamic stresses may activate …

Immunological Involvement In Porcine Bioprosthetic Valve Degeneration: Preliminary Studies, Rollin H. Heinzerling, Paul D. Stein, Jeanne M. Riddle, Donald J. Magilligan Jr., John J. Jennings

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Preliminary animal model studies have indicated that porcine bioprosthetic valves can be recognized by the immune system. This report presents the results of a preliminary investigation on the implanted valves of 27 patients. While none of the 27 demonstrated an immune response to porcine serum proteins, five patients developed antibodies against the implanted valve leaflets. Cells were enzymatically eluted from a degenerated bioprosthetic valve and were classified by means of monoclonal antibodies. Although these cells were not found to be of T-lymphocyte lineage, they did express la determinants and had the morphologic appearance of plasma cells. We therefore conclude that …
