Legionnaires' Disease: Description Of A Sporadic Case, Louis D. Saravolatz, Gene Tilchen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This first case of Legionnaires' disease seen at Henry Ford Hospital is described. A previously healthy 72-year-old man developed progressive pneumonia in September, 1977; it was unresponsive to treatment with cephalothin. However, he rapidly recovered when the treatment was changed to oral erythromycin. Diagnosis was established by serologic studies done at the Center for Disease Control. This pneumonia occurred in a sporadic form with no evidence of secondary cases.

Susceptibility At High Inoculum Of Penicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus To Six Cephalosporins, Andres Suarez, Ramon Del Busto, Edward L. Quinn, Donald Pohlod

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Six cephalosporins (currently available for clinical use or undergoing clinical trials) were tested by tube dilution method against high inoculum (10⁷ colony forming units) of 37 strains of penicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. 3.1 μg/ml of cephalothin inhibited 100% of strains while higher concentrations of cefoxitin, cephapirin, cefamandole, cephalexin and cephradine were required. The percent of strains with minimal inhibitory concentration higher than 3.1 μg/ml ranged between 10.8% (cefoxitin) and 100% (cephradine). These findings support the observation that cephalothin is less susceptible to inactivation than the other cephalosporins. Although the exact clinical implication of these findings has not been established, …

A Screening, Referral, And Follow-Up Program For High Blood Pressure At Henry Ford Hospital: Part I. Results Of Screening, Andrea Foote, John C. Erfurt, John R. Caldwell

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Data are reported on the screening results from the Henry Ford Hospital screening, referral and follow-up program for high blood pressure. The report covers the period of March 27 through December 11, 1975, during which time 808 people were screened in the hospital lobby. Thirty-nine percent were found upon initial screening to have high blood pressure readings or previously diagnosed hypertension. Of these people, 70% were already under treatment for hypertension, but only 21% showed adequate blood pressure control (with readings below 140/90 mm Hg). Those with high readings were referred to their physicians. A paper on the results of …

Susceptibility Of Clinical Isolates Of Bacteria To Cefamandole, Cefoxitin And Cephalothin, R. Del Busto, A. Suarez, E. Quinn, D. Pohlod

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The in vitro susceptibility was determined of 274 isolates to cephalothin and two new antibiotics, cefamandole and cefoxitin. Cefamandole was comparable to cephalothin in preventing growth of cultures of the gram positive organisms except for penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus which was more sensitive to cephalothin. Cefamandole was more active than cephalothin against all the gram negative bacteria including Haemophilus influenzae and in addition it was active against many strains of Enterobacter sp. Cefoxitin was less active than cephalothin against the gram positive organisms but it was more active against most of the gram negative bacteria. In addition. It was active against …

Bacterial Endocarditis And Incarceration Of A Transvenous Pacemaker: Removal Under Cardiopulmonary By-Pass After Prolonged Traction Proved Ineffective, Remigio Garcia, Mehdi Hakimi-Naini

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Transvenous electrode endocardial pacing of the right ventricle is the most simple and common modality of permanent pacing at present. The incidence of endocarditis is rare. Only two patients were found in our hospital series of over 200 who had permanent transvenous pacemakers implanted. A 40-year-old housewife developed staphylococcus aureus endocarditis secondary to local wound infection in the power pack pocket, requiring removal of the infected electrode under cardiopulmonary by-pass. Prolonged traction of the retained electrode proved ineffective. The mechanism of electrode entrapment is discussed.

Congestive Cardiomyopathy As An End Stage Of Toxoplasma Myocarditis, Mohsin Alam, Wolf F. C. Duvernoy, Edward L. Quinn, Evelyn J. Fisher

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Congestive cardiomyopathy is a clinical entity which may be due to many different etiologies in addition to the primary type. The case presented defines the etiology in a 30-year-old patient as previous acute toxoplasma myocarditis. This diagnosis was corroborated by diagnostic rise of fluorescent antibody and Sabin-Feldman dye test titers and response to specific therapy. Toxoplasmosis has to be considered among the causes of congestive cardiomyopathy.

Amikacin: Clinical And Laboratory Studies, Erwin J. Haas, T. Madhavan, Evelyn J. Fisher, Frank Cox, Keith Burch, Edward L. Quinn, Richard D. Nichols

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Amikacin was evaluated in vitro against S aureus and a variety of gram negative bacilli. In concentrations of 12.5 μg/ml or less, it suppressed the growth of all organisms except 15% of Proteus mirabilis. Peak serum levels in patients, following a 7.5 mg/kg IM dose, averaged 21 μg/ml at one hour. Most of the drug appeared in the urine during the first six hours after administration. Of six patients receiving an adequate course of treatment, all but one were cured. Treatment in that patient also failed with a subsequent course of gentamicin and carbenicillin and he was cured only by …

Penicillin-Resistant Viridans Streptococcus Endocarditis Related To The Administration Of Penicillin G Or Carbenicillin And Alterations In Mouth Flora, Keith Burch, Edward L. Quinn, Donald Romig, Frank Cox, Evelyn Fisher, T. Madhavan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Of 135 patients with streptococcal (non-group D) endocarditis seen at the Henry Ford Hospital (1957-1973), 133 had isolates which were penicillin- sensitive (inhibited by ≤ 0.2 μg/ml of penicillin C). The remaining two causative organisms were inhibited by 0.8 μg/ml of penicillin G and both of the infected patients received antibiotics just prior to the onset of endocarditis. The first patient received oral penicillin C for rheumatic fever prophylaxis and the second high dose parenteral carbenicillin. Using high dose parenteral therapy with ampicillin and streptomycin, the first patient was cured while the other patient relapsed. The second patient responded to …

Pseudomonas Arthritis And Osteomyelitis In Heroin Addiction: Report Of Three Cases, Paul M. Ross, Robert C. Nestor, Kent K. Wu

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Pseudomonas-caused sternoclavicular arthritis and osteomyelitis has received little attention in the medical literature. The authors present three cases including one case of bilateral sternoclavicular joint involvement. Prompt recognition, operative debridement, and institution of adequate chemotherapy result in dramatic clinical response.

Purpura Fulminans Secondary To Serratia Marcescens Septicemia, Thomas L. Connolly, John R. Fischer

Efficacy Of Betaprone With Ultraviolet Irradiation On Hepatitis B Antigen In Human Plasma Pools (A Retrospective Study), Gerald A. Logrippo, Hajime Hayashi

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In a retrospective study, hepatitis B antigen (HB Ag) was found in 14 lots of human plasma pools (16-20 liters each) that had been treated by the combined Betaprone (BPL) with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation procedure. No evidence of clinical hepatitis was found during a six-month follow-up after 185.2 liters of HB Ag positive plasma were Infused into 257 patients. Since HB Ag positive blood products treated by BPL with UV produced no clinical hepatitis, it is evident that our treatment is efficacious against hepatitis virus agents.

A Clinical Trial Of Tobramycin With Pharmacological And Microbiological Studies, Keith Burch, Richard D. Nichols, Edward L. Quinn, Frank Cox, Evelyn J. Fisher, T. Madhavan, Donald Pohlod

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Tobramycin, a new aminoglycoside antibiotic, was shown to be effective in vitroagainst Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter, Proteus mirabilis, indole-positive Proteus, and Eshcherichia coli. It was shown to produce serum and urine concentrations similar to gentamicin when administered intramuscularly. Preliminary animal studies showed this agent to have nephrotoxic and ototoxic effects similar to gentamicin. In our studies, tobramycin was well tolerated and produced only two transient elevations in serum creatinine and no abnormalities in audiograms and vestibular function tests. It was effective in 10 of 12 susceptible infections, including 2 of 4 with Pseudomonas endocarditis. Tobramycin compared favorably with gentamicin …

Role Of Membrane-Associated Components Of Mycoplasma Arthritidis On The Biosynthesis Of Humoral Antibodies And Arthritogenic Properties In Experimental Animals, Lois M. Bergquist

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The virulence of animal-passaged Mycoplasma arthritidis (158) was demonstrated to be enhanced in rats by growth in oleic acid-enriched broth. The virulence of a laboratory-maintained culture of the same strain was unaffected by similar growth conditions. No differences either in the immune response as measured by complement-fixing (CF) antibodies or in the histogenesis of the disease were detected when rats were injected with animal-passaged M. arthritidis grown either in the presence or in the absence of oleic acid. All tests for metabolism-inhibiting (MI) antibodies in the rat were negative.

Selected Factors Related To Ability To Regain Bladder Function Following Indwelling Catheterization, Jongkolnee Padmasiri

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This exploratory retrospective study was designed to evaluate selected factors, including the ability to regain bladder function related to post indwelling urethral catheterization in an acute general hospital population.

The records of 107 patients who met the study criteria became the study population. These patients had three-way urethral catheters, continuous antibacterial irrigation and closed drainage system. Twenty patients died (19 percent) before the catheter was removed. Of the 87 patients who were alive, 37 percent (32 patients) had in-adequate bladder function. Of these 32 patients, no attempt was made to remove the catheter from 15 prior to their hospital discharge. …

Rubella Immunization Of Adult Females Using Hpv-77 Dk-12 Live Attenuated Rubella Virus, Donald A. Romig, E. L. Quinn, Frank Cox, Robert G. Brackett

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study demonstrates the serologic response as measured by the HAl test and the side reactions of the HPV-77 DK-12 live rubella vaccine in a small group of adult females. One hundred percent seroconversion was obtained using this vaccine. The mean titers obtained in two separate time periods post-vaccination are higher than those reported for several other rubella virus vaccines. A 66% occurrence of joint symptomatology was recorded post-vaccination with a mean duration of 11.6 days; 24% of women who received placebo reported joint complaints which had a mean duration of 2.0 days. The difference between these two rates is …
