The Degree And Time-Course Of Stress In The Patient Undergoing Cardiac Surgery, Hulda Esther Serra, Patricia Jo Yvonne Tygret

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

An important nursing objective is to assist patients through stressful experiences. It has been assumed that cardiac surgery constitutes such a stress situation. For this reason, twenty-two patients undergoing cardiac surgery at Loma Linda University Hospital studied for the purpose of exploring the degree and time-course of were psychological stress.

The methodology consisted of administration of psychological tests before and after surgery; determination of urine catecholamines (UCA) before, during and after surgery; administration of a coping assessment tool before surgery, and a recall interview on the fifth day after surgery. The Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL)-Today form, and the …

Observations On Uric Acid Transport In Man, The Dalmatian And The Non-Dalmatian Dog, Howard Duncan, April S. Curtis

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The urinary output of uric acid from the purebred Dalmatian is similar in amount to that in man. Also, this breed of dog has a higher plasma uric acid level than other dogs and, like man, this hyperuricemia is accompanied more frequently with renal and bladder lithiasis. Allopurinol is effective therapy in both man and dog. Study of the fate of uric acid in the Dalmatian shows that the liver does not oxidize the available uric acid completely although it is capable of doing so when liver homogenates are studied. Consequently, the hepatic cellular membrane appears impermeable, or partially so, …

Diagnosis And Treatment Of Gonorrhea, Paul A. Kvale

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The various methods for diagnosis of gonorrhea are reviewed. Gram-stained smear of urethral exudate in the mate is appropriate, but for the female emphasis is placed on the use of culture on Thayer-Martin medium. Currently effective modalities of treatment are detailed, pointing out that higher doses of antibiotics are generally required for females with pelvic inflammatory disease than for males with acute gonococcal urethritis. The necessity for follow-up is also discussed.

An Improved Method Of Staining Paraffin-Embedded Bone Marrow Sections, Wanda Pusey, A. R. Villanueva

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cytological detail is well demonstrated in an improved method of staining aspirated bone marrow sections embedded in paraffin. The tinctorial patterns of the stain resemble some of its predecessors; thus, cell counting and identification involve little difficulty. The method has proven reliable, reproducible and a valuable addition in the diagnosis of bone marrow disorders. It is a useful tool in research problems in which objectives are the study of the bone marrow.

The Relationship Of The Bucco-Lingual Position Of The Mandibular First Molar To Occlusion And Arch Stability, Lothar M. Guttschuss

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Forty non-treated and twenty-two orthodontically treated cases were selected to determine the relationship of the bucco-lingual position of the mandibular first molar to occlusion and arch stability.

Plaster models and occlusal radiographs were obtained from all the cases. Anterior crowding, intermolar width, molar classification, and molar overhang relative to the basal bone were determined. The modified technique for occlusal radiographs used was found to result in radiographs which were more versatile and accurate when interchanged with the model measurements. Clinical applications of this technique include the determination of root angulations, location of impactions, and the fabrication of individualized preformed arch …

A Replacement Prosthesis For The Hip: A Preliminary Report, H. M. Frost, E. R. Guise

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Because of theoretical as well as practical difficulty in the total hip endoprostheses available to orthopaedic surgeons at the present time, an anlysis of the present and potential difficulties reveals that substitution of a roller-bearing for the present slider-bearing prosthesis and the establishment of a larger end-bearing surface on the acetabular side would be of benefit. Thus, the Ring prosthesis was re-designed to satisfy these hopes. A modification of the Ring's approach gives complete acetabular exposure and control of the prosthetic insertion. This is a preliminary report describing the design modifications of a prosthesis, presently under investigation, and illustrated by …

Immunoglobulin Levels In Spinal Fluid And Saliva By Direct Immunochemical Assay And Microscopic Measurements, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunochemical procedure used in this hospital for serum immunoglobulins (Igs) has been modified to increase sensitivity (5-to-20-fold) so that minute quantities of immunoglobulins can now be measured directly in unconcentrated body fluids. Normal spinal fluid Ig levels (±2 S.D. from normal means) were found to be: 0.01-0.21 mg/100 ml for IgA; 0.5-2.50 mg/100 for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Normal (pooled) salivary Ig levels were found to be 0.01-2.25 mg/100 ml for IgA: trace quandties to 1.85 mg/100 ml for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Spinal fluid and salivary Igs were assayed in 227 adults …

Hypophyseal Growth Hormone Ii. Interaction With Other Hormones, M. Saeed-Uz-Zafar, Raymond C. Mellinger, Lewis B. Morrow

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Growth hormone (GH) synthesis and release is controlled by hypothalamic GH releasing factor. Thyroid hormones, androgens and estrogens in physiologic concentrations enhance GH secretion but a controlling role for glucagon and vasopressin in GH release is not established. Under stress, ACTH directly facilitates GH release while the similar action of the catecholamines is mediated by the a-adrenergic receptors. Though physiologic doses of glucorticoids and progestins do not affect GH liberation, prolonged administration of medroxyprogesterone acetate or of glucocorticoids in high dosage will decrease blood levels or blunt Gti responsiveness. GH enhances the release of insulin. A shift in adrenal steroid …

Health Nurse Clinician: An Extended Role For The Professional Nurse, C. E. Rupe, Diana Downs, Diane L. Kerr, William W. Hardy

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A program to upgrade the level of nursing involvement in patient care has been established in conjunction with Wayne Slate University. Offered as a possible solution to the shortage of health care personnel, the master's degree program would result in an upward movement of medical personnel and provide more continuity of care to the patient. More specifically, the trained Health Nurse Clinician would be able to provide better nursing care because of the nurse's greater awareness of the patient's health problem. She (or he) could also free the physician from some of the time-consuming aspects of routine physical examination without …

Hypophyseal Growth Hormone: I. Control Of Secretion, M. Saeed Zafar, Raymond C. Mellinger, Lewis B. Morrow

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Growth hormone (GH) is a major hormone of the anterior pituitary gland. Once established, its secretion continues throughout life. GH was first recognized in 1866 as a factor controlling growth. More recently, it has been demonstrated as a vital regulator of fat, carboyhdrate and protein metabolism. In fact, GH influence on the intermediary metabolism is the major mechanism by which growth and development are regulated. Numerous hormonal and nonhormonal factors have been shown to modify the basic pattern of GH synthesis and secretion. In this article we have reviewed some of these nonhormonal factors.

Surreptitious Ingestion Of Oral Anticoagulants, Thomas H. Greidanus, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Raymond W. Monto

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hypoprothrombinemia secondary to surreptitious ingestion of coumarin or indanedione anticoagulants may be a difficult diagnosis for the unsuspecting physician. Four such case reports are presented. The disease should be suspected if the prothrombin time is markedly elevated and the individual is associated with the medical profession or has had previous treatment with oral anticoagulants. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding a deficiency in Factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X and the presence of the coumarin or indanedione anticoagulant in the blood. The motive generally is that of gaining attention rather than committing suicide. Liver disease. Vitamin K deficiency states …

Immunologic Status Of Uremic Patients, Gerald A. Logrippo, C. E. Rupe, Hajime Hayashi, Dean Lesher

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunologic status of 25 uremic patients was studied with a battery of tests evaluating the humoral and cytological aspects of immunity. The individual's humoral immune status was evaluated as follows: quantitation of the three major serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) expressed in mg/100 ml of serum and compared to established normal clinical standards (±2 SD/mean); qualitation of IgG and IgM evaluated by specific virus antibody titers and antitoxin values associated with IgG and by isoagglutinin tilers of the ABO blood groups associated with IgM. Immunoglobulin status is grouped into hyper- and hypo-immunoglobulin variations from normal and correlated with …
