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.

Problems Of Epidemiological Geography (Report Viii): Structure Of A Zoonosis Nosoareal, I.I. Yelkin, V.K. Yaschkul

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

The Main structural indices of a nosoareal are the focalress in the distribution of infectious diseases of man and their causative agents. The problem of the focalness of infections has been developed for quite a long time in the field of parasitology and is a very important division of contemporary epidemiology (Ye. N. Pavlovskiy, 1939, 1944, 1955, 1960, 1961, 1964; L. V. Gromashevskiy, 1941, 1949, 1965; I. I. Yelkin, 1951, 1960, 1962; P. A. Petrishcheva, 1955, 1959, 1965; V. N. Beklemishev, 1956, 1959, 1961; Yu.

Pancreatitis, Franz J. Ingelfinger

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The subject of my lecture requires better definition: I shall talk about pancreatitis and, chiefly, about the diagnosis of the recurrent variety of pancreatitis. How can we recognize the pain of this disease? This pain does tend to be in the upper abdomen, more often on the left than the right, and radiates to the back in about a quarter of the cases. It has, however, no characteristic quality, and the degree of the pain may range from the relatively painless to the excruciating. Most often, its severity is between these two extremes.

Pathogenesis Of Hepatic Encephalopathy, Z. Reno Vlahcevic

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Severe parenchymatous diseases of the liver, both acute and chronic, are frequently associated with hepatic encephalopathy. This term is preferable to that of hepatic coma, as it encompasses the whole spectrum of changes from bizarre alterations of behavior to various degrees of disturbance of consciousness, as well as protean neurologic manifestations. In many instances it is a reversible phenomenon, occurring either spontaneously or as the result of various therapeutic agents. The puzzling feature of hepatic encephalopathy is the discrepancy between dramatic clinical features and paucity of histopathological changes in the brain. The only histological changes encountered with regularity in patients …

Mechanisms Controlling The Peripheral Circulation Of The Lung With Some Clinical Correlations, Vernon E. Krahl

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Supported by experimental evidence, I have presented the thesis that there is a stasis of blood in alveolar capillaries caused by a generalized constriction of precapillary arteriolar sphincters produced by vagal hyperactivity. This, alone, can be held accountable for every clinical and histopathological feature of the syndrome. Evidence adduced from my own and other studies supports the idea of vagal predominance in PHS. A rational basis for a simple and, hopefully, a generally successful treatment of PHS by anti-vagal agents such as atropine has been outlined.

Relationship Between Fertility And Elevated Cholesterol Levels In Rats, Grimaldo Carvalho

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In previous work with rabbits on high-cholesterol and on high-cholesterol plus triparanol diets, I observed that no offspring were produced, even though the animals were not carefully separated by sex. Consequently, it seemed advisable, as the main purpose, to reexamine the possibility that a diet high in cholesterol, with or without triparanol, might affect reproduction. In this study rats were used instead of rabbits. Since triparanol inhibits the conversion of desmosterol to cholesterol, it seemed advisable to study the effect of triparanol on blood and tissue cholesterol itself. It also seemed of interest to study the distribution of cholesterol in …

Recent Advances In Pediatric Allergy, F. Stanford Massie

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Evidence has been presented to indicate that atopic disease is not limited to man but occurs in subhuman primates. The genetic transmission of allergy may relate to altered membrane permeability or an enzymatic defect, with inability to handle certain N-glycosidic protein-sugar linkages occurring in the atopens of nature. The suggestion that an infectious agent transmits allergic disease has been examined. Finally, in vitro and animal experimental models of anaphylaxis closely akin to atopy and the effects of manipulation of the autonomic nervous system in laboratory animals and man have been discussed.

Clinical Aspects Of Renal Tubular Disorders, William F. Falls Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I have tried to briefly outline aspects of the presently recognized disorders of tubular function that are of clinical importance. I would like to stress again that, although such disorders constitute a minute portion of the total health problem in this country, they are of great importance as experiments of nature, study of which is opening the way for a clearer understanding of fundamental transport mechanisms in the renal tubule. Additionally, for those individuals afflicted with any of the disorders I have mentioned, the availability of relief is of paramount importance. Such relief can be obtained in some cases by …

Some Issues In Human Development, Victor C. Vaughan Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, then, there are deeply rooted biological forces upon which we draw unwittingly for attitudes and behavior. There are pressing problems before us, ranging from war and slum riots to the misery and hopelessness of hundreds of thousands of infants and children leading empty and desperate lives in an unproductive way without society ever noticing that something preventable and irrevocable is happening. All of us, as citizens devoted to the healthiest kind of childhood and adulthood for our children, know that this represents an appalling tragedy for the individual. Multiplied by the hundreds of millions, it may represent a …

Hematopoietic Colony Forming Cells Of Spleen, Y. Maruyama, J. G. Eichten

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

It was found that isologous spleen cells injected into heavily irradiated recipients produced spleen nodules. The number of nodules or colony-farming-units (CFU) varied with cell dose, and were presumably clonal descendants of a single progenitor cell. The properties of the spleen and bone marrow CFU were compared and it was found that although present in greatly differing concentration, the radiation response and morphological features were similar.

Lasting Biological Effects Of Early Influences, René Dubos

In conclusion: The environment does more than affect our well-being in the here and now. It molds the young, physically and mentally, and thereby determines almost irreversibly their future and the evolution of society.

A Brief History Of The Taxonomy Of Mammals, Jack D. Burke

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The mammals are an ancient division of the animal kingdom. They probably developed from reptile-like creatures in the early Triassic period, about 200 million years ago. Ever since then they have been changing to meet different and varying conditions of climate, enemies, and many other factors. Of the more than one million animals known in the entire animal kingdom, the 4,000 or so species of mammals represent a small minority.

The Potability Of Sea Water, A. V. Wolf

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Thirsty men adrift or lost on desert shores frequently experiment with drinking sea water--especially after the third day--without harm if only small quantities are taken. But such experimentation is difficult to control, and, when in a group, individuals often drink furtively at night. The fleeting relief it affords gives way to an ever more ardent thirst and more copious drinking. This May be succeeded by silence and apathy. The eyes take on a fixed and glass expression; the breath, an offensive odor. Then delirium begins – first quiet, later violent – and consciousness is gradually lost. At some time froth …

A Histochemical Study Of Skin Wounds, Abdullah Fatteh

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The experimental results in guinea pigs confirm Raekallio's findings. It is clear from the results that the enzyme reactions are the earliest detectable changes in the healing wounds. The non-specific esterase gives earlier staining reaction than any other enzyme studied so far. It is quite possible that a study of other enzymes may reveal even earlier detectable reactions.

The Ambient Air, Edith Iglauer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Dogs, rats, mice, guinea pigs, donkeys, men, women, and children--a whole world breathing, and nobody knows exactly what we are breathing or exactly how it affects us. Dr. Robert Horton, an epidemiologist who was formerly a professor at the University of Michigan and now presides, from a desk in Cincinnati, over the government's Health Effects Research Program, spent several hours discussing the progress of air-pollution research with a caller not long ago, and then, in a matter-of-fact voice, said, "The British reduced cholera and typhoid in the nineteenth century before they knew bacteria existed, and we may have to regulate …

Taxonomic Review : Miridae Of The Nevada Test Site And The Western United States, Harry H. Knight

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Approximately 5,000 specimens of plant bugs were collected at the Nevada Test Site between 1959 and 1965. Greatest emphasis was given to collecting from June 10–24, 1965, when the desert areas at the test site were unusually profuse with blooming vegetation. A total of 160 species representing 50 genera was taken at the test site. Of these, 7 genera and 96 species are new to science.

Comparative data for these and additional species from other parts of western North America are also included. These represent an additional 449 species, of which 5 genera and 148 species are new to science. …
