The Neuro-Ophthalmology Of Cerebrovascular Disease, John W. Harbison

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The neuro-ophthalmology of cerebrovascular disease is a vast plain of neuro-ophthalmic vistas, encompassing virtually all areas of disturbances of the eye-brain mechanism. This paper will be restricted to those areas of the neuro-ophthalmology of cerebrovascular disease which one might consider advances in its clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Continuous Intracranial Pressure Monitoring In Patients With Brain Injury: Technique And Application, John K. Vries

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Continuous ICP monitoring using the hollow screw technique has proven itself simple, safe, and reliable. The obvious advantage of continuous ICP monitoring is to provide early warning of developing mass lesions before clinical signs appear and to assess the effectiveness of therapy directed at brain edema. Its most important use, however, may be that it permits the use of depressant medications in these patients. Many of these patients have a marked tendency toward hyperthermia, severe hyperventilation, and erratic blood pressure swings. These tendencies can be most difficult to control with conventional treatment regimens. By sedating these patients, however, it is …

Radical Reconstruction Of Complex Cranio-Orbito-Facial Abnormalities, John A. Jane, Milton T. Edgerton

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Excellent cosmetic results can be obtained by early intervention in severe cranial-orbital-facial deformity. This intervention should take the form of a combined intracranial and extracranial approach. While the procedure is of great magnitude, the benefits to the patient and to the family seem worth the risk.

Surgical Care Of The Lower Extremity In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Roby C. Thompson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

One of the most important things for the physician to recognize in referring a patient to the orthopedic surgeon for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is the goal of surgical correction. The primary goal in surgical treatment of diseased joints in the lower extremity is relief of pain. Some pain-free patients have such severe deformities that a surgical procedure may be undertaken in order to improve and restore function, accepting certain calculated risks; however, to improve function surgically in a pain-free joint requires complete and full understanding on the part of the patient as well as the physician.

The Interrelationship Of Intracranial Pressure, Cerebral Blood Flow, And Brain Metabolism In Experimental Brain Injury, Thomas W. Langfitt

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This presentation will be concerned with some of the relationships between intracranial pressure, cerebral blood flow, and brain metabolism as defined in animal models. We will also be concerned with the pathophysiological changes that occur among these numerous variables.

Advances In The Medical And Surgical Management Of Intractable Partial Complex Seizures, Hooshang Hooshmand

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Seizures can be due to a variety of acute, subacute, or chronic diseases with different etiologies. Clinically, they may manifest as focal or generalized phenomena. Whereas the majority of the patients suffering from partial seizures are easily controlled with medications, in a small number of patients treatment may fail. The failure may be due to incorrect diagnosis or incorrect therapy. The efficacy of medical treatment for seizure disorder depends upon six factors: 1) dosage; 2) the size of the patient; 3) drug interaction; 4) drug specificity for the disease; 5) the nature of the disease for which the drug is …

Surgery In Rheumatoid Arthritis: General Indications And Philosophic Considerations, R. S. Bryan

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, orthopedic surgery has much to offer the rheumatoid patient, particularly if the proper patient is chosen at the proper time. The advent of the total joint replacements, now in its infancy, gives renewed hope for the salvage of many derelicts and for the prevention of the severe disabilities and deformities which were all too frequent in the past.

Validation Of The Oregon School Entrance Speech Screening Test, Patricia Ann Hamilton

Dissertations and Theses

This study was designed to validate a speech screening device entitled the Oregon School Entrance Speech Screening Test. The OSESST was developed to identify quickly those children entering first grade who are in need of speech and language intervention. The present study sought to determine what proportion of children with speech and language disorders was not detected by the screening test and what proportion of children without speech and language disorders failed the OSESSI. In addition, this study undertook to determine whether results of this investigation are consistent with those obtained on the OSESST in areas of articulation, syntax, language …

Neuro-Ophthalmology In Severe Head Injury, John W. Harbison

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

If asked what the significance of neuro-ophthalmology is in the evaluation of severe head injury, many medical and surgical practitioners of neurology would promptly reply that it consists of monitoring pupillary reactivity in anticipation of the uncal herniation syndrome. A discussion of two broad premises of a factual nature, however, should easily convince these same practitioners that the neuro-ophthalmic evaluation of patients with severe head injuries offers far more than the Hutchinson pupil.

Annual ('Wimmera') Ryegrass Toxicity, Geoffrey A. Pearce, O. M. Goss, P. H. Berry, J. L. Wise

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Because annual ryegrass is one of the most widespread pasture plants in Western Australia, annual ryegrass toxicity is a threat to livestock in many agricultural areas—even though the area now affected is small.

The problem is being intensively studied by the Department of Agriculture and a working group has been set up to investigate potential control measures.

In this article the group reviews the problem and reports progress in its investigations to the end of 1973.

The Relationship Of Selected Personality Factors To The Progress Made During Speech Therapy By Elementary Children With Articulation Errors, Sandra Aubrey St. Mary

All Master's Theses

This paper presents a study of the relationship between personality factors and improvement in articulation by eleven children.

The percentage of change in articulation scores and personality test scores were divided into high and low groups, entered in 2 x 2 Contingency Tables and submitted to the X² statistic, with a .05 level of confidence resulting.

Recommendations included additional research with a larger number of children.
