The Influence Of Electrical Stimulation Of The Leg During Surgical Operations On The Subsequent Development Of Deep-Vein Thrombosis, L R Dejode, Mohammad Khurshid, W W Walther

Section of Haematology/Oncology

The effect of galvanic stimulation of the calf muscles during surgical operations on the development of postoperative deep-vein thrombosis was assessed using ¹²⁵I fibrinogen in 64 patients over 40 years of age undergoing major surgery. Alternate legs were stimulated in alternate patients using the opposite leg as a control. No significant difference in the incidence of deep-vein thrombosis was observed either in the immediate postoperative period or later.

Measurement Of Haversian Bone Remodelling By Means Of Tetracycline Labelling In Rib Of Rhesus Monkeys, Charles C. Schock, Frank R. Noyes, A. R. Villanueva

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Quantitative histologic measurements of haversian bone remodelling were made of mineralized rib cross sections in 13 healthy rhesus monkeys. With the aid of previous tetracycline labelling, coupled with the Villanueva Osteochrome stain, Frost's quantitative bone analysis revealed that: a) the mean haversian bone formation rate is 0.359 z 0.186 mm²/mm²/yr; b) the mean number of osteoid seams/mm² is 4.03 ± 1.64; c) the mean appositional rale is 1 33 ± 0 23 microns/day while the radial closure rate when all the labelled systems are corrected is 0.42 r 0.080 mm/year; d) the mean circumference of …

Nonparasitic Cysts Of The Liver: Analysis Of 36 Cases And Review Of Modern Diagnostic Techniques, Victor Lawoyin, Robert J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A review is presented of 36 cases of nonparasitic cysts of the liver. These are uncommon and had been difficult to diagnose clinically. Diagnosis has usually been made by post-mortem examination and by surgery. Attention is focused on the merits of modern diagnostic methods to differentiate cystic from solid tumors of the liver. These methods include radioisotope scanning, ultrasonography, and abdominal arteriography.

Gout And Arterial Thrombosis, Frank J. Viozzi, Gilbert B. Bluhm, Jeanne M. Riddle

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Two hundred and eighty patients with primary gout diagnosed between the years 1959-64 at Henry Ford Hospital were studied to determine the frequency of myocardial infarction in the fourth, fifth and sixth decades. The retrospective data correlate with previously published reports of accelerated platelet turnover and our own observation of increased platelet surface activation in patients with gout. The results suggest an increased risk (or myocardial infarction before age 50 in patients with primary gout; this merits prospective study. The finding of increased platelet surface activation in patients with gout may provide an insight into the pathophysiology of the apparent …

Current Tests For Tubal Patency: Their Study And Comparison, Asghar Afsari, Robert J. Thompson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Two hundred patients have been reviewed in whom culdoscopy or laparoscopy was performed for infertility study. During these two procedures, methylene blue was injected through an endocervical cannula for detection of tubal patency under direct visualization. When compared with 89 patients tested by utero-tubal insufflation and hystero-salpingography, results indicated that direct visualization of the tubes and dye hydrotubation appears to be the most reliable method. HSG proved to be the second most reliable method with a failure rate of 19.2%. The least accurate procedure in this study was UTI with CO₂ gas, where the failure rate was 24.7%. The …

Inhibition Of Kidney Mitochondrial Monoamine Oxidase Activity By The Nephrosis-Producing Aminonucleoside Of Puromycin, Paul Bartlett, Mei-Hwa Tu, Kathleen Ashworth

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Intraperitoneal administration in rats of a single large injection of the potent nephrotogenic aminonucleoside,6-dimethylamino-9-(3'-amino-3' =deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-purine, resulted in striking reductions in kidney cortex mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity, assayed on tyramine substrate The alterations in enzymatic activity correlated remarkably well with the onset and development of the massive proteinuria characteristic of the disease. The inhibitory effects were also produced in vitro, and Lineweaver-Burk reciprocal plots were clearly indicative of non-competitive inhibition. It is suggested that aminonucleoside inhibition of kidney mitochondrial MAO activity may be a biochemical lesion in the primary step of GBM collagen cross-link formation, whereby collagen fibrillogenesis is impaired …

Biopsy-Proven Amebic Colitis Treated With Metronidazole, Frederick R. Bode, Earl J. Van Volkinburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Amebiasis was diagnosed in a Vietnam veteran and treated in a conventional manner with diodoquin and tetracycline. Symptoms persisted over the next three and one-half years despite repeated courses of diodoquin. Amebic colitis was confirmed by biopsy through a sigmoidoscope. The patient then received a ten-day course of metronidazole (Flagyl). Studies are cited proving this single agent is the drug of choice in the oral therapy of all clinical forms of amebiasis.

Health Status Of Emergency Department Patients, Marjean J. Horning

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to help nursing develop a comprehensive care system for patients in selected emergency departments. To develop such a system, it was necessary to know the characteristics of and the health needs of that population.

The problem of this study was to describe the characteristics and health needs of patients in selected emergency departments.

Patients were interviewed using the Kisch Health Status Proxy (KHSP) and the Health Habits Inventory (HHI) as a guide. The KHSP listed acute and chronic conditions that an individual experienced. It gave a numerical score which rated the respondent in good, …

C-Reactive Protein: Potential Significance Of Quantitation In Patients With Chronic Diseases, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in 351 patients with certain chronic diseases were assayed by a micro-double immunodiffusion technique developed and used in this hospital. Elevation of CRP values and severity of disease were evident in the following clinical entities: 31 of 54 patients (57%) with liver cirrhosis; 122 of 204 (60%) hepatitis patients; 34 of 52 (65%) patients with gastro-intestinal surgery; 8 of 21 (38%) uremic patients; and all of 20 patients with renal transplantation. There was good correlation between markedly elevated serum CRP values and degree of inflammation and/or physiologic stress during clinical course and recovery.

Genetic Counseling For Hemoglobinopathies: A Model For Large Scale Application, Charles E. Jackson, Esly S. Caldwell, Ellis J. Van Slyck

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This report describes a project in a large urban, predominantly black, high school which combined a hemoglobinopathy survey with an educational and genetic counseling emphasis. The faculty and students received information on sickle cell disease explaining its genetic and personal implications. About 29% of the 2,700 students received parental permission and volunteered for blood tests in the initial year. Blood was examined by starch gel electrophoresis during the first year and by cellulose acetate electrophoresis during the second year. Of the 1300 total individuals studied, 7% were found to have sickle cell trait and 2% hemoglobin C trait. The cellulose …

Epidermoid Carcinoma Arising In An Epidermal Inclusion Cyst, Talmadge V. Hayes, Joseph Ponka

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Mostly because of adequate early treatment, large epidermoid carcinomas are not frequently seen today. The case which we documented is unusual because of the huge size of the tumor and the resulting deformity. The photographs illustrate the pre-operative and post-operative appearance. The fact that these tumors can reach enormous size and become malignant bears repeating. Radical excision and skin grafting, we believe, resulted in a cure for this patient. Incidentally, there was a great change in her mental outlook after the removal of this tumor.

The Endoscopic Approach To The Diagnosis Of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Bernard M. Schuman, Roberto F. Gluckmann, Klaus Anselm, Robert J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Fifty-nine consecutive patients who were bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract were examined endoscopically with fiberoptic instruments. The site and nature of the bleeding were identified in 84% of the patients without significant morbidity or mortality. Endoscopic examination of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum in the bleeding patient should be done within 12 to 24 hours after hospital admission and before barium study of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
