Hypomagnesemia-Lnduced Cardiac Arrhythmia, Robert Chapman, Jan Rival

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A case of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia associated with magnesium deficiency is described. The patient had no history of any cardiac disease, was not taking any medication and had no other accompanying electrolyte disorder. His arrhythmia was refractory to conventional treatment but responded to parenteral magnesium therapy. The role of hypomagnesemia in the predisposition to cardiac arrhythmia is discussed. To our knowledge, there are only two well-documented cases of ventricular irritability which responded to magnesium as the sole treatment. As awareness of such a relationshp increases and magnesium determinations become more available, this entity may be more commonly recognized, and the …

Dissecting Aneurysm Of Aorta Complicating Coarctation Of The Aorta: Case Report And Brief Literature Review, Remigio Garcia, Julius M. Ohorodnik, Donald J. Magilligan Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The incidence of dissecting thoracic aorta aneurysm complicating coarctation of the aorta ranges from 1.7 to 23% in large series of coarctation of the aorta reported. In a review of 95 cases of dissection of the aorta, we found only one case with associated coarctation of the aorta. The presence of this anomaly, although rare, should be suspected and searched for in younger patients with dissection, in view of the surgical implications at the time of correction.

Use Of The Intraocular Lens In The Aphakic Eye - Part 1: The Anterior Chamber Intraocular Lens, Philip C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Th;s paper reviews some reasons why many ophthalmic surgeons do not implant intraocular lenses. It presents some parameters of a theoretically "ideal" lens, some of the disadvantages and advantages of the currently available anterior chamber intraocular lenses, and lastly, it offers designs for a new anterior chamber intraocular lens. While preserving the advantages of currently available anterior chamber intraocular lenses, the new designs may have certain advantages. Currently under investigation, the new lenses may be available for use in man within the next year.

Adjustment To Psycho-Social Stress, John William Carnes

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between adjustment to life-event stressors and selected psycho-social variables. Recent research has consistently identified an etiological link between stressful life-events and physical and/or emotional disorders. It has often been noted, however, that exposure to seemingly identical stressors results in varying levels of adjustment among individuals. Lazarus (1966, 1967, 1971, 1974) has proposed that variations in stress responses are attributable to differences relative to the implicated individual's appraised threat from the stressor. Based on this conceptualization, adjustment to stressful life-events was selected as the dependent variable for the study. Five independent …

Legal Representation Of The Mentally Ill, James R. Elkins

West Virginia Law Review

The "rights revolution," sparked by the United States Supreme Court under the leadership of former Chief Justice Earl Warren, has abated as the Court modifies and in some instances emasculates the constitutional rights afforded criminal defendants. While the Supreme Court assumes a more “moderate" position regarding the rights of criminal defendants and takes a closer look at due process decisions generally, the "rights revolution" has had substantial spillover effect in the case of individuals confined involuntarily in mental institutions. The courts, especially federal courts, have recognized the constitutional basis of procedural and substantive safeguards for individuals subject to commitment in …

The Synthesis And Evaluation Of The Potential Antineoplastic Activity Of The Semicarbazone And The Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives Of The Di-2-Pyridyl Ketone And The 1,8-Diazafluorenone Ring Systems, Adriene Y. Principe

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

A number of' a-(N)-heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones have been synthesized and evaluated for potential antineoplastic activity since Brockman and colleagues2 reported the antineoplastic activity of' 2-f'ormylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (1). The primary objective of' this research project has been the synthesis and characterization of' the semicarbazone and the thiosemicarbazone derivatives of' the di-2-pyridyl ketone, (9-a) and (9-b), and the 1,8-diazaf'luorenone, (10-a) and (10-b), ring systems, as well as the evaluation of' these compounds for both in vitro and in vivo antineoplastic activity against Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in mice. These studies have suggested that di-2-pyridyl ketone thiosemicarbazone (9-b) is as effective as 2-formylpyridine …

A Method For Evaluating The Platelet Surface Response By Using Electron Microscopy, Jeanne M. Riddle

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Our method for evaluating the surface response of any given platelet population, which has evolved over the past two decades, provides a measure of both the adhesive and cohesive qualities of platelets. General morphologic features of the adherent, whole platelets can be assessed by transmission electron microscopy, and the results are reproducible when serial samples are collected on normal subjects and patient groups. With this technique, different metabolites and drugs can be combined with platelet populations that are either normoresponsive or hyperactive to determine if these substances trigger or inhibit the platelet response. To date, the results from in vitro …
