The Clinical Use Of Fluorine18 In Bone Scanning, R. A. Gatesi, A. T. Vulpetti, T. L. Kosnik, W. G. Tucker, R. W. Talley

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Roentgenograms are frequently inadequate in the detection of early osseous metastases. Isotope bone scan is a more sensitive diagnostic procedure. Reported here are findings on 40 patients with known or suspected osseous involvement using the short-lived radionuclide 18F. Comparison with standard roentgenograms and clinical follow-up demonstrated 11 early detections. 18F was found to be a very suitable agent for isotope bone scanning. Ilustrative cases are presented

Studies Of The Electrical Parameters And Behavioral Effects Of An Eeg ''Seizure Discharge", W. R. Mccrum, R. M. Lee, H. Van Den Ende, L. D. Proctor, J. A. Lee

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Nemastrina monkeys with multiple electrodes implanted in the amygdaloid area of the brain were used to study the relationship of electrical seizures and overt behavior. The electrical seizures were produced by long duration electrical pulses administered through the implanted electrodes. There appears to be no relationship between this kind of electrical seizure and lever pressing performance. Relationships between depth EEG, depth impedance, DC potential and surface EEG are observed and as a consequence some ideas concerning the genesis of the electroencephalogram are put forth.

Sarcoidosis And Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: First Report Of Coexistence, Ellis J. Vanslyck, Dipankarsri Dasgupta

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A patient is described in whom sarcoidosis of the mediastinal lymph nodes was found during the course of acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. The association of these two diseases should be differentiated from the more commonly seen thrombocytopenia of hypersplenic origin, occurring during the disseminated stage of sarcoidosis, in which granulomatous involvement of an enlarged spleen is found. An elevated serum IgM immunoglobulin level was present. These observations possibly strengthen the concept that an immunological disorder plays a significant role in sarcoidosis.

Osteochondroma Of The Vertebra, C. H. Hickey

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A seldom considered manifestation of multiple hereditary exostosis — vertebral lesions with and without neurological complications — is discussed. Three additional cases are added to the sparse literature on the subject with hope that the spinal ostetochondroma will be searched for and treated before neurological complications become manifest.

Pulmonary Angiograms And Isotope Lung Scans — Their Role In The Diagnosis Of Pulmonary Embolism, Robert S. Ormond, Ellet H. Drake, Richard A. Rideout, Sudarsan Misra

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Experience gained in the study of 307 patients by pulmonary angiograms and/or isotope lung scans has led to concepts regarding the limitation and usefulness of each. The scan is ideally useful when the patient with suspected pulmonary embolism has a negative chest film. Angiograms should be performed when there are parenchymal infiltrations on the chest radiograph or when a definite diagnosis is necessary. Either study should be performed early in the course of the patient's illness to permit diagnostic study.

A Hazard Of "Diet Pop", Charles Wolf

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Calorie-free carbonated beverages, or "diet pops," are becoming increasingly popular and many households no longer contain the older, more familiar, sugar containing, carbonated beverages. Because physicians frequently make use of "soda pop" when prescribing treatment for common pediatric conditions such as febrile episodes or bouts of vomiting or diarrhea, the following case report is presented to illustrate the fact that physicians must ascertain that the beverage to be used to maintain hydration is not calorie free.

Relationship Between Sleep Deprivation And Postpartum Depression, Janet Wagner

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Postpartum depression was thought to be an important component of maternity blues and was the factor explored in this study. Sleep was hypothesized as a factor affecting either the occurrence or severity of postpartum depression. Hence, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep deprivation and postpartum depression.

Twenty patients were interviewed one to three weeks prior to their expected dates of delivery. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Depression scale was administered during the interview and each patient kept a record of her hours of sleep during the following week. Each patient again kept a record …

Serum Immunoglobulins In The Differential Diagnosis Between Intrahepatic Viral Jaundice And Extrahepatic Obstructive Jaundice, Gerald A. Logrippo, Thomas A. Fox, Melvin A. Block

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Serum immunoglobulin levels are reported in 75 patients with jaundice: 32 with jaundice due to virus hepatitis and 43 with jaundice due to obstruction. The degrees and variations of serum immunoglobulins (Ig), (IgM, IgG and IgA) in virus hepatitis (IH and SH) with jaundice are compared with those found in obstructive jaundice. In 32 of the patients with jaundice from virus hepatitis, serum IgM (100%) and IgG (75%) were elevated above 2 Standard Deviations from the mean values. Neither IgM nor IgG levels were elevated above 2 Standard Deviations from the mean values in 33 of 43 patients (76.7%) with …

Management Of Massive Hemoptysis, Eduardo Arciniegas, Conrad R. Lam

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Massive hemoptysis demands immediate investigation and treatment. Bronchoscopy done while the bleeding is active is essential to accurate localization of the site of origin and the cause of hemorrhage. Emergency pulmonary resection should be carried out if death is to be prevented by suffocation or exsanguination. Illustrative cases are presented.

Endometrial Carcinoma: Report Of 441 Cases From Henry Ford Hospital 1923 Through 1963, Roy B. Patton

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The study here presented is an historical examination of endometrial carcinoma at Henry Ford Hospital. A modified life table was constructed to estimate survivorship, and selected clinical features related to the patient's endocrine status were examined. Pathological findings associated with endocrine abnormalities in the ovaries were enumerated. The results of histologic grading of the tumors are presented, and the incidence and location of other primary malignant tumors in these patients are discussed.

Play Preparation For The Adeno-Tonsillectomy Patient, Carol Brown, Harriet Hecker

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Hospitalization and surgery have been recognized as being psychologically stressful for the majority of children. Hospital personnel have attempted to reduce some of the unnecessary psychological stress incurred by children by the use of many different methods. This study attempted to evaluate the use of preoperative play preparation sessions for minimizing this stress. The method was experimental with one variable. The subjects were forty-one children aged three and one-half to seven and one-half who had adeno-tonsillectomies. Twenty-one children comprising Group E were involved in a play session by the researchers. Twenty children were not prepared in this way. The tools …
