Purpura Arthralgia Weakness Mixed Cryoglobulinemia Syndrome Treated With Splenectomy: A Case Report, Carl R. Haeger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Weakness purpura mixed arthralgia cryoglobinemia (IgG - IgM) syndrome was first described by Meltzer in 1966. Such a case was recently reported after treatment with Cyclophosphamide and subsequent splenectomy for pancytopenia with beneficial effects on the cryocrit. The patient reported here underwent splenectomy without Cyclophosphamide and had subsequent amelioration of the clinical symptoms. Abnormal plasma cells found in the spleen presumably were responsible (at least in part) for the patient's symptomatology.

Malignant Histiocytosis Of The Robb-Smith Type (Histiocytic Medullary Reticulosis), Michael F. Macken, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Sheik M. Saeed

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A 60-year-old woman developed high fever, jaundice, anemia with pancytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly. She deteriorated rapidly and died one month later, having shown no beneficial effect from high dose corticosteroids and splenectomy. An antemortem diagnosis of malignant histiocytosis of the Robb-Smith type was made and duly confirmed by autopsy study. This rare disorder of the reticuloendothelial system, heretofore designated "histiocytic medullary reticulosis," deserves recognition and inclusion among the histiocytic diseases and in the classification of the lymphomas. Its proper nosologic designation is suggested.

Kinesiology Of Knee Flexion Deformity Using Electromyography, Paul J. Roby

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A kinesiological electromyographic study was completed to determine the relative changes in muscle activity as a person walks and stands with different degrees of knee flexion deformity. The ultimate aim was to establish criteria for appropriate preventive and corrective measures relating to knee flexion deformity.

Six different muscles were implanted with wire electrodes. The subjects performed a series of walking and standing experiments with the knee flexed at selected angles by a locking leg brace to simulate knee flexion deformity. The electromyographic action potentials were monitored by analog tapes, oscilloscopes and closed circuit television. The analog tapes were displayed on …

Measurement Of Haversian Bone Remodelling By Means Of Tetracycline Labelling In Rib Of Rhesus Monkeys, Charles C. Schock, Frank R. Noyes, A. R. Villanueva

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Quantitative histologic measurements of haversian bone remodelling were made of mineralized rib cross sections in 13 healthy rhesus monkeys. With the aid of previous tetracycline labelling, coupled with the Villanueva Osteochrome stain, Frost's quantitative bone analysis revealed that: a) the mean haversian bone formation rate is 0.359 z 0.186 mm²/mm²/yr; b) the mean number of osteoid seams/mm² is 4.03 ± 1.64; c) the mean appositional rale is 1 33 ± 0 23 microns/day while the radial closure rate when all the labelled systems are corrected is 0.42 r 0.080 mm/year; d) the mean circumference of …

Biopsy-Proven Amebic Colitis Treated With Metronidazole, Frederick R. Bode, Earl J. Van Volkinburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Amebiasis was diagnosed in a Vietnam veteran and treated in a conventional manner with diodoquin and tetracycline. Symptoms persisted over the next three and one-half years despite repeated courses of diodoquin. Amebic colitis was confirmed by biopsy through a sigmoidoscope. The patient then received a ten-day course of metronidazole (Flagyl). Studies are cited proving this single agent is the drug of choice in the oral therapy of all clinical forms of amebiasis.

Health Status Of Emergency Department Patients, Marjean J. Horning

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to help nursing develop a comprehensive care system for patients in selected emergency departments. To develop such a system, it was necessary to know the characteristics of and the health needs of that population.

The problem of this study was to describe the characteristics and health needs of patients in selected emergency departments.

Patients were interviewed using the Kisch Health Status Proxy (KHSP) and the Health Habits Inventory (HHI) as a guide. The KHSP listed acute and chronic conditions that an individual experienced. It gave a numerical score which rated the respondent in good, …

Epidermoid Carcinoma Arising In An Epidermal Inclusion Cyst, Talmadge V. Hayes, Joseph Ponka

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Mostly because of adequate early treatment, large epidermoid carcinomas are not frequently seen today. The case which we documented is unusual because of the huge size of the tumor and the resulting deformity. The photographs illustrate the pre-operative and post-operative appearance. The fact that these tumors can reach enormous size and become malignant bears repeating. Radical excision and skin grafting, we believe, resulted in a cure for this patient. Incidentally, there was a great change in her mental outlook after the removal of this tumor.

Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: The Evolution Of Our Concepts Of Its Cause, Harold M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Research findings in the last 20 years concerning senile and postmenopausal osteoporosis indicate that the skeletal condition associated with these diseases arises because some systemic factor acts directly upon the bone marrow tissues. There is a secondary tendency to accelerate loss of bone greater than in the normal aging process. The loss occurs only on those surfaces in physical contact with the bone marrow tissue.

Endodontic Sealing Properties Of Cavit, Chloro-Rosin Gutta Percha, N2, And Silver Cones Using Radioisotopes, Frank H. Beal

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The main purpose of this investigation was to test the endodontic sealing abilities of silver cones, N2, warm gutta percha, chemically softened gutta percha, laterally condensed gutta percha and Cavit under carefully controlled conditions. Evaluations were done by radiographic, macroscopic, microscopic, and autoradiographic examinations.

The four points which must be considered when evaluating the efficacy of sealing root canal systems, in vivo, were presented and discussed.

Cavit as a total endodontic filling material was presented, investigated and discussed.

An improvement of the chloro-rosin - gutta percha diffusion technique was presented.

The concept of surface as well as marginal leakage was …

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. …

The Role Of Surgery In Cecal Diverticulitis, C. Grodsinsky, J. Soares, M. A. Block, B. E. Brush

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cecal diverticula, although rare, may result in acute or chronic diverticulitis. Rarely does acute hemorrhage arise from cecal diverticula. The diagnosis of acute diverticulitis usually is evident at operation and an appropriate resection is usually feasible, although the local status and general condition of the patient modifies treatment in some instances. Chronic cecal diverticulitis is usually difficult to distinguish from carcinoma and a resection is justified.

Branchial Anomalies In Idiopathic Hypoparathyroidism: Branchial Dysembryogenesis, Michael J. Miller, Boy Frame, Andrew K. Poznanski, C. E. Jackson, Gustave Bermudez

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Four of 13 patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism had associated congenital anomalies of branchial origin. Three had characteristic hypernasal speech. One of these patients exhibited a cleft palate and the other two had functional and anatomic anomalies of the velo-pharyngeal musculature which explained the speech disturbance. The fourth patient represents the twenty-second recorded case of the III and IV pharyngeal pouch (DiGeorge's) syndrome, manifested by absent parathyroids and thymus glands associated with unusual facial features and cardiovascular anomalies. Our four patients exhibited a total of 15 congenital anomalies of branchial origin. By including our patients with those reviewed from the literature, …

A Comparative Study Of The Emotional Adjustment Of Dysphasia, Shirley J. Watson

All Master's Theses

To study emotional problems of dysphasia and the resultant effect on rate and extent of language recovery, two subjects (one male and one female) were interviewed. Interviews and data were also obtained from therapists and hospital records. The results showed that emotionality and some personality factors adversely affected language recovery. This would suggest the importance of alleviating stress immediately following the lesion, during the therapy period, and throughout the home situation.

Precipitable Hetero-Antibodies In Man To Animal Serum Proteins: Relation To Immunoglobulin Status, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry, Judene Mueller

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Immunologic studies show that man develops specific antibodies to a variety of serum proteins of bovine, sheep, goat, chicken, and rabbit origins as well as antibodies against cow's milk protein. The data in this report emphasize that these hetero-antibodies are more frequently found in individuals with immunological problems and/or chromosomal aberrations. The clinical significance of human hetero-antibodies against these animal proteins deserves closer clinical observation for an understanding of these immunological problems.
