Clinical Notes: Bacteremia Associated With Colonoscopy, A. Suarez, B. Schuman, E. Quinn, T. Neblett
Clinical Notes: Bacteremia Associated With Colonoscopy, A. Suarez, B. Schuman, E. Quinn, T. Neblett
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Twenty-eight patients had a total of 168 blood cultures before and at regular intervals during colonoscopy. No bacteremia was found. Based on our results and other reports, we recommend antibiotic prophylaxis during colonoscopy only for those patients with prosthetic heart valves and for those with valvular heart disease who also have advanced liver disease.
Studies On Uveitis Part Ii: Hypotheses With Case Reports, Philip C. Hessburg
Studies On Uveitis Part Ii: Hypotheses With Case Reports, Philip C. Hessburg
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A number of patients with and without uveitis are used to show that this study of aqueous microbiology suggests the following hypotheses: 1. Routine techniques currently used in most microbiology laboratories overlook classical and variant bacteria which might be isolated from clinical specimens with improved microbiological techniques. 2. Bacterial forms may be present in other ocular tissue when not present in the aqueous. 3. Polymicrobial infections probably occur rather frequently, especially in chronic or subacute inflammatory states. 4. Alterations in various host factors may subject some persons to a greater incidence of inflammatory episodes including uveitis. 5. Antibiotics used in …

One patient, representing 2.8% of the total, had a brain contusion related to closed head trauma.
X-Linked Diseases With Cataract, Philip J. Howard
X-Linked Diseases With Cataract, Philip J. Howard
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
X-linked cataracts are a rare group and appear as a complication of other disease. Changes in the lens are difficult to visualize and the family history may alert the examiner to the possibility of cataractous changes. This paper is a review of 13 sex-linked conditions with cataract as a possible complication. Cataracts may be present in an occasional case or in some instances in every case. Short abstracts follow of Fabry's disease, glucose 6-dehydrogenase deficiency, myotonic dystrophy, ectodermal hypohidriotic dysplasia, oculocerebral syndrome, keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans with cataract, Norrie disease, incontinenti pigmenti, hypoparathyroidism due to a sex-linked recessive trait, pseudohypopara-thyroidism, …
Penicillin-Resistant Viridans Streptococcus Endocarditis Related To The Administration Of Penicillin G Or Carbenicillin And Alterations In Mouth Flora, Keith Burch, Edward L. Quinn, Donald Romig, Frank Cox, Evelyn Fisher, T. Madhavan
Penicillin-Resistant Viridans Streptococcus Endocarditis Related To The Administration Of Penicillin G Or Carbenicillin And Alterations In Mouth Flora, Keith Burch, Edward L. Quinn, Donald Romig, Frank Cox, Evelyn Fisher, T. Madhavan
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Of 135 patients with streptococcal (non-group D) endocarditis seen at the Henry Ford Hospital (1957-1973), 133 had isolates which were penicillin- sensitive (inhibited by ≤ 0.2 μg/ml of penicillin C). The remaining two causative organisms were inhibited by 0.8 μg/ml of penicillin G and both of the infected patients received antibiotics just prior to the onset of endocarditis. The first patient received oral penicillin C for rheumatic fever prophylaxis and the second high dose parenteral carbenicillin. Using high dose parenteral therapy with ampicillin and streptomycin, the first patient was cured while the other patient relapsed. The second patient responded to …

Purpura Arthralgia Weakness Mixed Cryoglobulinemia Syndrome Treated With Splenectomy: A Case Report, Carl R. Haeger
Purpura Arthralgia Weakness Mixed Cryoglobulinemia Syndrome Treated With Splenectomy: A Case Report, Carl R. Haeger
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Weakness purpura mixed arthralgia cryoglobinemia (IgG - IgM) syndrome was first described by Meltzer in 1966. Such a case was recently reported after treatment with Cyclophosphamide and subsequent splenectomy for pancytopenia with beneficial effects on the cryocrit. The patient reported here underwent splenectomy without Cyclophosphamide and had subsequent amelioration of the clinical symptoms. Abnormal plasma cells found in the spleen presumably were responsible (at least in part) for the patient's symptomatology.
Branchial Anomalies In Idiopathic Hypoparathyroidism: Branchial Dysembryogenesis, Michael J. Miller, Boy Frame, Andrew K. Poznanski, C. E. Jackson, Gustave Bermudez
Branchial Anomalies In Idiopathic Hypoparathyroidism: Branchial Dysembryogenesis, Michael J. Miller, Boy Frame, Andrew K. Poznanski, C. E. Jackson, Gustave Bermudez
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Four of 13 patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism had associated congenital anomalies of branchial origin. Three had characteristic hypernasal speech. One of these patients exhibited a cleft palate and the other two had functional and anatomic anomalies of the velo-pharyngeal musculature which explained the speech disturbance. The fourth patient represents the twenty-second recorded case of the III and IV pharyngeal pouch (DiGeorge's) syndrome, manifested by absent parathyroids and thymus glands associated with unusual facial features and cardiovascular anomalies. Our four patients exhibited a total of 15 congenital anomalies of branchial origin. By including our patients with those reviewed from the literature, …
Effects Of An Eeg "Seizure Discharge" On Operant Responding, Richard M. Lee, Julia A. Lee, Hendrik Van Den Ende, Lorne D. Proctor
Effects Of An Eeg "Seizure Discharge" On Operant Responding, Richard M. Lee, Julia A. Lee, Hendrik Van Den Ende, Lorne D. Proctor
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A post-stimulus "seizure discharge" recorded in the amygdaloid area of monkey brains was investigated primarily by studying its effects upon behavior. Three different operant conditioning schedules were used with animals implanted with multiple depth electrodes. The schedules involved the factors of number discrimination, attention, sequential responding, and self-stimulation. Although the electrical brain stimulation caused a disruption in responding, no behavioral effects could be attributed to the recorded discharge itself. This result, and previous findings, lead to the tentative conclusion that the discharge results from a physico-chemical, brain-electrode interface phenomena and is not neurophysiological in nature.
Immunoglobulin Levels In Spinal Fluid And Saliva By Direct Immunochemical Assay And Microscopic Measurements, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry
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 …

Stress Urinary Incontinence In The Human Female: Gravity And Ecomorphologic Influences On Bladder And Urethral Function Of The Human Female, C. Paul Hodgkinson
Stress Urinary Incontinence In The Human Female: Gravity And Ecomorphologic Influences On Bladder And Urethral Function Of The Human Female, C. Paul Hodgkinson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This study was undertaken to determine if the biped stale of the human female constituted a stress force in urethrovesical physiological function. To arrive at realistic conclusions, the ecomorphologic changes incidental to the conquest of gravity by the vertebrates have been reviewed. Accepting the evolutionary precepts as expressed by Hobart Smith that "if all parts of the evolutionary chain were known, it would be impossible to draw a logical distinction between man and nonman, Romer slated "Bone for bone, muscle for muscle, organ for organ, almost every feature of the ape is repeated in the human body. The differences are …

Studies Of The Electrical Parameters And Behavioral Effects Of An Eeg ''Seizure Discharge", W. R. Mccrum, R. M. Lee, H. Van Den Ende, L. D. Proctor, J. A. Lee
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Nemastrina monkeys with multiple electrodes implanted in the amygdaloid area of the brain were used to study the relationship of electrical seizures and overt behavior. The electrical seizures were produced by long duration electrical pulses administered through the implanted electrodes. There appears to be no relationship between this kind of electrical seizure and lever pressing performance. Relationships between depth EEG, depth impedance, DC potential and surface EEG are observed and as a consequence some ideas concerning the genesis of the electroencephalogram are put forth.

The Nature Of Bone Resorption And Formation In Normalcy And Disease, Bruce N. Epker, Harold M. Frost
The Nature Of Bone Resorption And Formation In Normalcy And Disease, Bruce N. Epker, Harold M. Frost
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Classically, Howship's lacunae and osteoid seams or tissue have been used for microscopic identification of sites of bone osteoclastic and osteoblastic cell activity respectively. Recent transmitted light and blue light fluorescence microscopic study of fresh, undemineralized, specially stained and tetracycline labeled bone specimens have supported this use of these parameters of bone resorption and formation. Reports that the osteoclast is not required for bone resorption are evaluated here; it is concluded that no evidence exsists for resorption of bone tissue without osteoclasts. This does not apply to the perilacunar phenomena observed in certain well-defined situations.

Clinical And Histopathological Aspects Of Salivary Gland Tumors: A Review, Bruce N. Epker
Clinical And Histopathological Aspects Of Salivary Gland Tumors: A Review, Bruce N. Epker
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A presumptive clinical diagnosis of salivary gland tumor can usually be made by taking an accurate history, performing a careful clinical examination, and utilizing essential radiographic and sialographic aids. Once a tumor is identified, differential diagnosis between benign and/or malignant involvement, and the exact tumor type becomes more formidable, frequently requiring histological diagnosis. Since optimum treatment is dependent upon an accurate differential diagnosis and surgical management according to tumor type, the clinical and histological aspects of salivary gland tumors are reviewed. A thorough knowledge of these characteristics allows an accurate diagnosis and provides the indications for proper treatment.
Art In Psychotherapy, Robert R. Schopbach
Art In Psychotherapy, Robert R. Schopbach
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Art is a tool too often neglected in psychotherapy. A careful study of a patient's drawings will provide information concerning diagnosis, dynamics, and progress. If, in addition, the patient explains and elaborates upon the content and symbolism, the drawings become excellent psychotherapeutic devices providing an entry into the patient's unconscious.
