Postoperative Ventilatory Care, Terring W. Heironimus Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Postoperative ventilatory care implies that some significant percentage of surgical patients cannot breathe adequately in the postsurgical state and need to be appropriately assisted in order to do so. It further implies that there may be some difficulty in or complication resulting from such care. Both implications are correct.

Pulmonary Function Testing For Preoperative Study Of Patients For Anesthesia And Surgery, Orhan Muren

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, if history and physical examination indicate pulmonary dysfunction, simple pulmonary function tests should be obtained and proper measures taken to reduce morbidity and mortality in surgery patients, especially those with underlying chronic lung disease.

Cogan-Guerry Microcystic Corneal Epithelial Dystrophy: A Clinical And Electron Microscopic Study, Robert G. King Jr., Ragnit Geeraets

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, microcystic epithelial dystrophy of the cornea as described by Cogan and Guerry has become a well documented clinical entity. In this paper, a case report and preliminary electron microscopic findings of a patient with this dystrophy were presented. This case showed a thickened, two-layered basement membrane which was completely missing in some areas. The second characteristic change was that of cystic epithelial areas containing debris. The possible significance of these findings and a diagnostic technique for detecting of these corneal changes were discussed.

Acuity Variations In Diabetes Mellitus, William W. Carroll

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the factors involved in acuity changes in diabetes mellitus and to report findings suggesting a new concept, namely, diurnal fluctuations in acuity that are not associated with hypoglycemic episodes.

An Optical Approach To Aid Cerebral Hemiplegics, Thomas W. Nooney Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Communication is the process by which information is received, interpreted, and retained; however, communication often breaks down as a result of brain injury. It has been estimated that there are 400,000 adults in the United States with some degree of communication loss from stroke, and each year another 20,000 people become similarly afflicted. The ability to transmit and/or receive information depends on visual and auditory comprehension and retention, reading comprehension, visual motor facility, and speech. These areas are so interrelated that a collapse in one often causes a breakdown in a closely connected ability.

Herbals : The Vade Mecum Of The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, William G. Peacher M.D.

The Courier

Claus Nissen, in his book, Herbals of Five Centuries, 1958, defines a herbal as a book on medicinal plants which describes their appearance, gathering and preparation, contains notes concerning their preservation and storage, and finally provides the inclusion of data about their indication and dosage. The word "herb" was first used around 1500 to differentiate a plant with medicinal properties from an ordinary plant. Actually, manuscripts surviving from remote antiquity indicate a knowledge of this subject. With the advent of printing and advances in wood and metal engraving, the herbal became the indispensable reference book for physicians, apothecaries and the …

An Ounce Of Prevention, Nancy G. Witt

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, we have found that an educational and behavioral approach has been most effective in correcting maladaptive behavior in children, and complete success is only limited by our own creativity. We cannot advocate behavior modification for all children because neither we nor our children should adapt to an ineffective educational system. Improvement in programming in both academic and social skills must be of primary emphasis in prevention. We must concentrate our best minds and personnel in the preschool and primary school years. As the child learns to accept the consequences of his behavior, the necessary social skills to meet …

Anesthesia, 1972, C. Ronald Stephen

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Implied in a title such as this one is an obligation to determine the present "state of the art," or science, if you will, and to elucidate, in a manner of speaking, where we are, why we are, and in which direction we may be going. To perform such a function in perspective, we must return to the past. Then one wonders, how far into the past? How much of the past is really relevant to today? Our reflection will go back thirty years to 1942, in Montreal, Canada, to the sphere of McGill University.

Problems In The Delivery Of Health Care, Kinloch Nelson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The news these days is generally bad. Much of it is concerned with the inadequacies in the provision of medical care: its great cost; the shortage of health care personnel; and the misdistribution of the personnel available. All are blamed on the present system, or "non-system."

The Relationship Of Motility Problems To Reading Problems, Keith Mcneer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, the ophthalmologist's role in caring for dyslectic children is simply caring for ocular problems. It is rather easy to separate the ocular defects from the nebulous concepts of dyslexia or learning disability. It is also easy to make the decision when and to what degree ophthalmological care is indicated with a clear and attainable goal in sight. Eye exercises or so-called visual training have virtually no value. Practically, the ophthalmologist's most valuable tool in caring for dyslexia is honesty about his results.

Electronic Monitoring Of The Fetus, S. Edward Davis Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Although the fetal electrocardiograph (FECG), was recorded earlier in this century, utilization of the electrical activity of the heart for fetal assessment is really a procedure of approximately the last two decades. The fetal electrocardiograph obtained from the maternal abdomen can be used to detect fetal life, multiple pregnancies, and it can be extracted from the background noise by means of computer averaging techniques in order to study the electrical signal itself.

Uterine Blood Flow During Pregnancy, Frank C. Greiss Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Of these parameters pertinent to fetal well-being, the delivery of an adequate amount of blood to the placenta seems to be the most crucial. At our present state of understanding, uterine blood flow (UBF) appears to be that parameter most often affected by physiologic and pathologic conditions, and it is certainly that factor most readily altered, either favorably or unfavorably, by the physician. In this presentation, normal changes in UBF during pregnancy will be reviewed briefly, those factors influencing uterine and placental vascular dynamics will be discussed, and the clinical relevance of these observations will be illustrated on the background …

Femininity And Sexuality, Allan C. Barnes

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In the second of the two McGuire Lectures, Dr. Barnes discussed the nature of femininity and sexuality. He began by pointing out that people usually turn first to the medical profession when seeking help in solving their sexual problems. Though some of these individual may require psychiatric care, most of them are simply misinformed and need to be reeducated. "We [physicians] need to consider their problems non-judgmentally and not let our own particular attitudes and views intrude too much," said Dr. Barnes.

Proper Use Of Mechanical Ventilators, James P. Baker

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The proper use of mechanical ventilators is related to many problems; however, the primary one is the knowledge of the physician, nurse, inhalation therapist, and other paramedical personnel with a given ventilator. It is important to remember that there are certain inherent problem with all ventilators. These problem must be carefully searched for and avoided.

Breaking The Boundary Of Separatism: The Challenge For Health And Welfare Service Providers, Joseph J. Bevilacqua

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

We can see in the first example a partnership between the training center and its constituent community. In the second, we see a full systemic cycle of need, its accommodations, or lack of such, and the recognition of these arrangements by those responsible for obtaining resources and directing their utilization.

Treatment Of Hypertropia With Relaxing Conjugate Vertical Prisms, Marina P. Meyers

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Certain selected cases of hypertropia can be permanently corrected with identical prisms placed base up over each eye. A child was first successfully treated by this method more than 14 years ago, and the excellent long-term outcome in her case, as well as generally encouraging results in a series of over 100 subsequent patients, suggest that in suitable cases the double vertical prism may be a useful addition to the methods available for the treatment of hypertropia.

Opthalmic Teaching Problems: The Ayes Have It, Robert G. King Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The problems associated with the teaching of ophthalmology to medical students in today's university setting are by no means unique to ophthalmology. However, these problems are more severe in small departments such as ophthalmology and are more disruptive to the teaching process than similar problems in larger departments. The purpose of this paper is to identify some of the more important teaching problems and propose solutions to them.

Factors Regulating The Growth Of Algae In Continuous Culture In Diluted Secondary Sewage Treatment Plant Effluent And Subsequent Biodegradability, Edward G. Foree, Caroline P. Wade

KWRRI Research Reports

Heterogeneous algal cultures were grown in laboratory continuous culture in continuous flow, completely mixed chemostats in secondary sewage treatment plant effluent diluted to give an ammonia nitrogen concentration of 10 mg/1. Variables were lighting, pH, carbon dioxide availability, and hydraulic residence time.

Optimum growth occurred under pH 7.0, excess CO₂, and continuous lighting conditions. The availability of artificially supplied excess CO₂ greatly increased the mass (standing crop) at steady-state over that produced under otherwise identical conditions for all residence times studied. For the case of excess CO₂ availability, the nitrogen concentration in the algal cells regulated …

Hematologic Effects Of Cryogenine And Certain Selected Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Stanley Teruo Omaye

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Inflammation appears to be an attempt by the organism to re-establish homeostasis as a response to local reactive change in tissues following injury or irritation. This injury or irritation (whether caused by micro-organisms, toxins, antigens, etc.) first leads to an increased passage of fluid through the walls of the microvasculature, followed by stasis of circulation within the affected area. This, in turn, is followed by migration of leukocytes into the area and finally concluded by connective tissue proliferation leading to the deposition of granulation tissue.

There are many experimental models employed for the evaluation of drugs with possible anti-inflammatory activity. …
