This report describes intense uptake of 201Tl in a patient with histiocytic lymphoma. The activity seen was greater than with 67Ga. Use of 201Tl as an alternative imaging agent is advocated.

Mixed Connective Tissue Disease And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus In One Family, Michael R. Lubetsky, Howard Duncan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A mother with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and a daughter with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were simultaneously diagnosed and treated in August, 1977. Multiple cases of SLE occurring in the same family are not rare, but the frequency with which systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease occurs in the same family is not known, and the reports are few. This report describes these two cases and suggests that mixed connective tissue disease may be part of the spectrum of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Scanning Electron Microscopy Of The Surface Of Human Duodenum In Patients With And Without Duodenal Ulcer Disease, Bernard M. Schuman, Klaus Ritter, John H. L. Watson, Jessica Goodwin

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Endoscopic biopsy specimens of normal human duodenum from patients with duodenal ulcer disease were studied by light microscopy and by scanning electron microscopy. For scanning, the tissue was dried by the critical point-drying technique. SEM criteria for both normal and abnormal duodenal surfaces were determined. SEM evidence for the presence of "tuft cells" similar to those found on the surface of rat duodenum was found in both the normal and abnormal human material. Although other reports have described the favorable effects of carbenoxolone sodium treatment on duodenal ulcer disease, our SEM studies of four patients found that this treatment had …

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography At Henry Ford Hospital: 1972-1977, Bernard M. Schuman, Kian H. Wong, R. Salimi, A. N. Adham

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Between 7972 and /977, 440 patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (FRCP) at Henry Ford Hospital. The procedure was found to be most useful for identifying the site and nature of an extrahepatic obstruction, the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and the preoperative evaluation of chronic pancreatitis. One death occurred as a result of cholangitis in a patient with cancer of the pancreas. Review of the data has led us to refine our indications for FRCP. It has been shown to be a valuable technique with a low incidence of complications in evaluating pancreaticobiliary disease. Based on our study, it would be …

Home Support Services And The Ecology Of Aging, Abraham Monk

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Home support services for the aged are emerging as a primary concern in the Title XX planning proposals put forth by states and localities. This is not surprising when one considers that Title XX guidelines require the setting of priorities among non-cash benefit programs that help insure the individual's self-sufficiency within his or her normal environment.

All services under Title XX must relate to one or more of five objectives for the individual client: economic independence; self care; prevention or remedy of neglect, abuse or other conditions which lead to dependence; intermediate community based care and, as a last resort …

Urological Complications In Renal Transplantation, Riad N. Farah, Richard Klugo, Thomas Mertz, Joseph C. Cerny

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

There were 116 renal transplants performed on 108 patients over a five-year period at Henry Ford Hospital with three major urological complications. The rate of 2.6% compares favorably with that reported in other series. Careful preoperative urological evaluation together with technically precise ureteroneocystostomy are factors that minimize the incidence of urological complications.

Nutritional Aspects In The Care Of The Child With Cleft Lip And Palate, Mary E. Keitel

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Proper nutrition is essential in the care of the infant with cleft lip or palate, as these infants are often plagued with feeding difficulties from birth. This paper reviews recent literature on the many feeding practices in use today and discusses the current trend toward a multidisciplinary approach to treatment for the cleft lip/palate child. It also presents a brief review of experimental animal studies which have implicated nutritional deficiences in the causation of cleft lip/palate.

Noninvasive Techniques In The Evaluation Of Arterial Disease, J. Dennis Baker

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This paper reviews noninvasive technology currently being applied in clinical peripheral vascular laboratories for the evaluation of obstructive arterial disease in the lower extremities and in the cerebral circulation. Lower extremity, arterial insufficiency can be assessed by pressures measured with a Doppler flowmeter or by oscillometric tracings obtained with a Pulse Volume Recorder. Carotid artery stenosis is studied by: 1) ocular pneumoplethysmography, which indirectly measures ophthalmic artery pressure; 2) oculoplethysmography, which compares pulse arrival time at the two eyes; and 3) the Doppler ophthalmic test, which detects the flow pattern in the ophthalmic artery. The main uses of the tests …

The metastasizing tendency of this lesion is discussed, and the efficacy of combined therapeutic approaches in treating these cases is questioned. Submitted

Refractory Hypercalcemia In Sarcoidosis: Exacerbation By Thiazide Diuretics, Differentiation From Primary Hyperparathyroidism, And Possible Role Of Prolactin, A. M. Parfitt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hypercalcemia in a patient with sarcoidosis was made worse by a thiazide diuretic initially given to control hypercalciuria alone. The hypercalcemia was unusually resistant to corticosteroid treatment during the summer even after the thiazide diuretic had been discontinued. Lack of response to corticosteroid together with decreased tubular reabsorption of phosphate and increased tubular reabsorption of calcium suggested associated primary hyperparathyroidism, but PTH was undetectable by immunoassay, and nephrogenous cyclic AMP excretion was zero. Amenorrhea, galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia were found to be due to a pituitary tumor which was removed. The experience with this patient suggests that: 1) exacerbation of hypercalcemia …

A Study Of Treatment And Cephalometric Variables In Relation To Facial Axis Change During Treatment In A Dolichofacial Sample, Laurence A. Seifert

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The change in the facial axis in a sample of fifth-three dolichofacial patients, was compared with a number of pretreatment cephalometric variables. A number of treatment variables were also compared with the amount of facial axis change that occurred during orthodontic treatment.

The cephalometric variables measured were:

1. Facial axis
2. Upper face height (maxillary height)
3. Lower face height
4. Posterior face height
5. Mandibular arc
6. Palatal-mandibular plane
7. Palatal-occlusal plane
8. Occlusal-mandibular plane
9. Overbite
10. Upper first molar to palatal plane
11. Lower first molar to mandibular plane
12. Lower incisor to mandibular plane
13. Incisal edge of lower incisor to mandibular plane
14. Xi point to occlusal plane

Effects Of Cromolyn On Inflammatory Bowel Disease Of Childhood, Yvette Piovanetti

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Methods and Materials: Twelve children with CIBD (7 with CUC and 5 with Crohn's) entered a trial with Cromolyn Sodium. The patient groups consisted mostly of those who had been treated with steroids over a 1-year period without suppression of disease activity, and in whom steroids could not be tapered without exacerbation. On commencement of Cromolyn therapy, steroid dosages ranged from 5-60 mg. q.d. (mean dose 30 mg. q.d.). Multiple complications of steroid therapy were observed in this group. Linear growth retardation was exhibited by 5 patients, 2 with Crohn's and 3 with CUC. One of the patients with CUC …
