Correlation Of The Transverse Sizes Of 6th And 11th Ribs In Normal And Osteoporotic Individuals, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In a continuing study of bone biodynamics, established values for the 6th rib are used to predict the parameters of the 11th rib. Autopsy samples of the 6th and 11th rib are compared and the correlation is used to validate studies of the 11th rib in osteoporosis showing normal cross sectional area with enlarged marrow cavity. The values presented are considered provisional until larger numbers of patients are studied.

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.

Hematopoietic Colony Forming Cells Of Spleen, Y. Maruyama, J. G. Eichten

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

It was found that isologous spleen cells injected into heavily irradiated recipients produced spleen nodules. The number of nodules or colony-farming-units (CFU) varied with cell dose, and were presumably clonal descendants of a single progenitor cell. The properties of the spleen and bone marrow CFU were compared and it was found that although present in greatly differing concentration, the radiation response and morphological features were similar.

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

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.

Pulse And Impulse In The Sinus Node, Thomas N. James

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Recent experiments at the Henry Ford Hospital indicate that a relationship exists between pulsation in the sinus node artery and impulse formation by the sinus node. This paper describes the experiments and presents anatomic, physiologic and pharmacologic evidence along with observations that should interest the physicist and mathematician, as well.

Clinical And Histopathological Aspects Of Salivary Gland Tumors: A Review, Bruce N. Epker

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A presumptive clinical diagnosis of salivary gland tumor can usually be made by taking an accurate history, performing a careful clinical examination, and utilizing essential radiographic and sialographic aids. Once a tumor is identified, differential diagnosis between benign and/or malignant involvement, and the exact tumor type becomes more formidable, frequently requiring histological diagnosis. Since optimum treatment is dependent upon an accurate differential diagnosis and surgical management according to tumor type, the clinical and histological aspects of salivary gland tumors are reviewed. A thorough knowledge of these characteristics allows an accurate diagnosis and provides the indications for proper treatment.

Immunoglobulin Levels In Serum Of Normal Infants And Pre-School Children As Determined By Immunochemical Analysis, Gerald A. Logrippo, Gordon Manson, Nansie Sharpless

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Standards for determining serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels in infants and preschool children are now possible as a result of data compiled and presented in this paper. These can be compared with adult standards used in this hospital and presented in earlier issues of the MEDICAL JOURNAL. The Hospital's laboratory technique is compared with other methods for measuring IgM, IgA and IgG serum levels.

Incarcerated Femoral Hernia, Joseph L. Ponka

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Careful analysis of 12 complicated cases of incarcerated femoral hernia gives clues toward the correct diagnosis of this problem. Knowledge of the symptoms can prevent dangerous delays in undertaking urgently-needed surgical repair. The unique anatomy involved requires careful clinical examination but surgery should not await x-ray studies.

Osteoid Seams And Resorption Spaces In Standard Samples Of Human 6th And 11th Ribs, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Studies of 6th and 11th rib samples taken at autopsy from 22 adults who had been seriously ill before death were compared, and it is provisionally concluded that the average number of bone forming and resorbing centers in a Unit amount of compacta are similar in each sampling site. More material on this continuing study of bone dynamics is scheduled for future issue of the MEDICAL JOURNAL.

Tetanus: Current Concepts And Review Of 18 Cases, J. Peter Johnston

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.

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.
