Atlantoaxial Dislocations: A Retrospective Study Of 35 Cases, Arturo Paz-Esquerre
Atlantoaxial Dislocations: A Retrospective Study Of 35 Cases, Arturo Paz-Esquerre
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Of 35 patients with CI-C2 dislocations, 37% (13 cases) had a history of rheumatoid arthritis, 11% (4 cases) had trauma as well as rheumatoid arthritis, and 25.7% (9 cases) had severe motor deficit quadriparesis or quadriplegia. One patient, representing 2.8% of the total, had a brain contusion related to closed head trauma.
The Application Of Behavior Modification Technology To The Alleviation Of Selected Social Problems, John S. Wodarski
The Application Of Behavior Modification Technology To The Alleviation Of Selected Social Problems, John S. Wodarski
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The application of behavior modification technology to the alleviation of various social problems is reviewed. Specific items discussed are: energy consumption, pollution control, token economies, architectural control of behavior, welfare, worker performance, social action, crime, and social integration. Where relevant, specific studies are summarized. Future developments and implications for social work practice are reviewed briefly.
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, …
A Classification Scheme For Medical Expenditures, James Veney, Arnold Kaluzny
A Classification Scheme For Medical Expenditures, James Veney, Arnold Kaluzny
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Medical care represents a significant portion of society's response to problems affecting social welfare. While the problems surrounding medical care are complex, a major part of these problems can be attributed to the fact that medical care expenditures are viewed indiscriminately without regard for the nature of the expenditures themselves. This paper presents a framework to differentiate various types of medical care expenditures. The paper argues that medical care expenditures can be classified as either instrumental-consummatory or as external-internal relative to the medical care system. The consequences of this classification and some conclusions which may be drawn from it are …
Insulin Treatment Of Diabetes Mellitus, H. St. George Tucker
Insulin Treatment Of Diabetes Mellitus, H. St. George Tucker
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
In summary, I believe in aiming for the best possible control for each patient through an empirical approach which seeks to arrive at the best schedule for the individual patient. We want especially tight control for the pregnant diabetic, and for this patient it is likely that multiple insulin injections are needed. If further experience confirms the benefits of multiple injections for juvenile patients, this type of treatment may also be indicated for these patients.
A Case Of Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome, Catherine Mckeon-Kern, Peter Mamunes
A Case Of Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome, Catherine Mckeon-Kern, Peter Mamunes
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Saethre-Chotzen syndrome was described independently by the Norwegian psychiatrist, Saethre, and the German psychiatrist, Chotzen, in the 1930s; since that time many cases have been reported, some using the terms acrocephalosyndactyly, type III, and craniooculodental syndrome. Clinically, the syndrome is characterized by premature closure of the cranial sutures, low-set hairline, nasal septum deviation, brachydactyly, and ptosis. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant with complete penetrance and great variability in expression. Because of this variable in expressivity, the syndrome is difficult to diagnose in the less severe form without a positive family history.

New Approaches To The Use Of Twins In Biomedical Research, Walter E. Nance
New Approaches To The Use Of Twins In Biomedical Research, Walter E. Nance
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Human geneticists are often accused of being preoccupied with exotic syndromes that are of marginal relevance to the general population. Brilliant success has been achieved during the past two decades in defining the nature and function of the genetic material, the molecular pathology of a large number of metabolic diseases, the phenotype of more than 2,000 Mendelian traits, and more recently the chromosomal location of a rapidly expanding number of human gene pairs. In contrast, relatively little progress has been made in the genetic analysis of quantitative traits such as blood pressure, serum cholesterol, intelligence quotient, skin color, height, birth …

Social Wolk In Relief And Rehabilitation After Wars, At Home Aid Abroad, Walter A. Friedlander
Social Wolk In Relief And Rehabilitation After Wars, At Home Aid Abroad, Walter A. Friedlander
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
In the United States after the wars of the 19th. century, particularly after the Civil War, no professional social workers existed who could have cared for the wounded soldiers and civilians or for the disabled veterans. But in Europe, during the war of France and Italy against Austria, in 1859, the foundation of some services for the wounded soldiers of the three involved nations were laid by a Swiss banker, Henry Dunant of Geneva who arrived by accident on the evening of the bloody battle in Solferino (Italy) and started to help bandaging some of the bleeding victims of this …

The Growth And Development Of Genetics At Mcv, J. Ives Townsend
The Growth And Development Of Genetics At Mcv, J. Ives Townsend
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Genetics was well established at the Medical College of Virginia by the time I joined the faculty in 1960. At least one course in genetics was required of students in the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Nursing. The Department of Biology and Genetics, which was in the School of Pharmacy and chaired by Dr. Roscoe D. Hughes, also had a modest graduate program in genetics and two genetics research programs, one on facial growth in twins, supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, and the other on the genetics of drosophila, supported by the National Science …
A Diagnostic Approach To Acute Headache, Alan B. Grindal
A Diagnostic Approach To Acute Headache, Alan B. Grindal
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Headache is one of the most common symptomatic ailments encountered by the physician. According to one estimate, headache constitutes the major complaint in more than 50% of patients seen in office practice. This figure refers to patients with chronic recurring headache, many of whom are seen electively when they are asymptomatic, and may not accurately reflect the frequency with which patients present, during the acute phase, complaining of head pain. The term acute headache refers to those episodes of cephalgia which lead the patient to seek immediate medical care.
