Local Microwave Hyperthermia In Cancer Therapy: Preliminary Report, Carlos A. Perez, Walter Kopecky, Robert Baglan, D. Venkata Rao, Richard Johnson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This report summarizes our preliminary experience at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology treating 26 patients with metastatic tumors with hyperthermia and irradiation. Patients received 400 rad fractions given every 72 hours (twice weekly) for a total of 2400, 2800, 3200, or 4000 rad followed by hyperthermia. In addition, 18 lesions were treated according to a protocol designed by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) for superficial measurable tumors to receive three doses of 500 rad followed by hyperthermia (six lesions) or irradiation alone (three doses of 600, 700, or 800 rad) every 72 hours. Hyperthermia was administered with 2450 MHz …

Allergenicity Of Various Peanut Products As Determined By Rast Inhibition, Julie A. Nordlee, Steve L. Taylor, R. T. Jones, John W. Yunginger

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Extracts of 19 different peanut products and peanut oil were tested for their allergenicity by the radioallergosorbent test inhibition assay using a crude peanut extract from raw peanuts as the standard for comparison. Seventeen of the extracts were able to competitively inhibit the binding of serum IgE from peanut-sensitive patients with the solid-phase raw peanut extract. Peanut oil and the extract from hydrolyzed peanut protein did not inhibit binding, which suggests that these products are not allergenic. The peanut hull flour extract showed a slight ability to inhibit binding, suggesting that this product contains minor amounts of the peanut allergen.

Glucose Phosphate Isomerase Deficiency: Unusual Acute Hemolytic Crisis In A Middle-Aged Woman, Koichi Maeda, Sheikh M. Saeed, Raymond W. Monto, Ernest Beutler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hereditary hemolytic anemia associated with glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) deficiency was first reported in 1967. Since then, about 30 cases have been reported in the literature; their ages ranged between 1 and 26 years. We present a case of glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency in a 56-year-old woman. Steroid therapy seemed to resolve our patient's acute stage. Since it has not been mentioned previously, further evaluation is necessary. Consideration of this deficiency may be helpful in investigating hemolytic anemia, regardless of the patient's age.

Intensity Of The Second Heart Sound: Relation Of Physical, Physiological And Anatomic Factors To Auscultatory Evaluation, Paul D. Stein, Hani Sabbah

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The intensity of the heart sound depends upon: 1) the distensibility of the aortic and pulmonary valves; 2) hemodynamic factors that cause the valves to distend and vibrate; 3) viscosity of the blood and its ability to inhibit diastolic valve motion; 4) the configuration of the aorta, pulmonary artery, and ventricle and the ability of the walls of the great vessels and ventricles to absorb or reflect sound energy; and 5) the capability of sound to be transmitted to the chest wall. Recognizing how these physical, physiological, and anatomic factors interact can help us to interpret auscultation of the intensity …

The Coronary Distribution Zone : Mathematical Modelling Of The Left Ventricular Epicardial Surface For Area Calculation, Three-Dimensional Rotaton And Display, S. Matts E. Sjölander

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A computer model of the left ventricular (LV) epicardial surface was developed from Jang’s truncated ellipsoidal model, which has a minor to major axis ratio of 6:10. The model was applied in calculating the area of a segment of the myocardium, jeopardized by an impending occlusion of its associated artery. The endangered segment of the LV muscle was also visualized in different projections by rotations in three space and graphical displays simulating the three dimensions.

The area formula for the surface of the ideal model , a truncated prolate spheroid, was derived and used in producing maps for manual calculations …

The Effect Of Natural Measures To Aid In Sleep As Compared With The Use Of Flurazepam 30 Milligrams As Seen In The Hospitalized Male Patient, Myra Ladd Thompson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Sleep is necessary for physical and psychological restoration of the body. Studies indicate that tissue repair is augmented during sleep, showing that rates of protein synthesis and of mitotic division are higher at times of rest and sleep. Studies evaluating sleep-deprived subjects reveal that after loss of normal sleep, some types of memory and learning processes are impaired. These subjects generally become anxious and irritable, especially after loss of dreaming sleep.

Sleeping medications have been implicated by observers and researchers to be a cause of altered sleep patterns. These medications not only disrupt normal sleep cycles, but their continued use …

Recurrent Klebsiella Meningitis Following Trans-Sphenoidal Hypophysectomy For Nelson's Syndrome: Chloramphenicol Resistance During Relapse, Tom Madhavan, Daria Kiani, Louis Saravolatz, Keith Burch, Raymond C. Mellinger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Three episodes of meningitis due to Klebsiella pneumoniae occurred in a young man following cerebral surgery. The patient had the features of Nelson's syndrome, and a chromophobe adenoma was removed by trans-sphenoidal resection. Intravenous chloramphenicol was effective in producing a temporary clinical response during the first episode of meningitis, but the organism became resistant to chloramphenicol during the second episode. Combined parenteral and intralumbar administration of gentamicin resulted in temporary improvement only. Subsequently, the subcutaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reservoir of Ommaya provided a safe, convenient way to administer prolonged intraventricular therapy which, combined with a definitive procedure to correct the …

Occult Cushing's Syndrome Presenting With Osteoporosis, M. Kleerekoper, Sudhaker D. Rao, B. Frame, R. D. Larocque, T. Feigelman, V. Matkovic, L. V. Avioli

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Osteoporosis is a frequent complication both of endogenous hypercortisolism and of long-term treatment with corticosteroids, but only rarely is it the major clinical feature with the more characteristic features absent or minimally present. In the two patients presented, hypercortisolism was uncovered only during routine evaluation of osteoporosis. This presentation is probably due to slow progression of the disease and is often associated with so-called black adenoma of the adrenal gland. Secondary causes should be sought in all patients with seemingly "senile" or "postmenopausal" osteoporosis.

The Presentation Of Thyroid Malignancy In The Geriatric Patient, Joel I. Hamburger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Of 334 patients with thyroid carcinoma, 36 were age 65 or older. The sex distribution of the geriatric patients did not significantly differ from that of the younger patients. Older patients had significantly fewer papillary carcinomas and significantly more anaplastic and medullary carcinomas and lymphomas than younger patients. Papillary and follicular carcinomas of geriatric patients were large (4 cm or larger) significantly more often than those of the younger patients. Only one of 53 patients with very small (1 cm or less) papillary and follicular carcinomas was in the older group.

Richmond Smith As A Clinical Investigator: His Work On Adult Periosteal Bone Expansion And Nutritional And Endocrine Aspects Of Osteoporosis In Light Of Current Concepts, A. M. Parfitt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This paper discusses Richmond Smith's contributions to the field of metabolic bone disease from 1949 to 1969 in light of current concepts. He was the first to demonstrate continuing periosteal bone expansion in adults, a phenomenon of great biologic interest which is best explained if adult bone remodelling is qualitatively similar on all surfaces. He was the first to show that persons with less bone than normal have an increased risk of subsequent fracture, and so are more likely to benefit from preventive treatment. He found that blood vitamin D levels were lower in osteoporotic subjects than in controls, but …

Transiliac Bone Biopsy: Complications And Diagnostic Value, Sudhaker D. Rao, Velimir Matkovic, Howard Duncan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This article reviews the experience of 101 transiliac bone biopsies performed in one year at Henry Ford Hospital and discusses the possible diagnostic value ofthe procedure in evaluating generalized metabolic bone disease. In 50 of the 101 cases, we used a pain scoring method to evaluate the acceptability of the procedure to patients. Data from our study and 18 other clinical centers were then analyzed for: 1) demographic distribution of patients who had a bone biopsy; 2) its acceptability to patients; 3) quality of the specimen and its relationship to the physician performing the procedure; 4) diagnostic yield of bone …
