Clinical Use Of A Standard Kit-Preparation Of Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibody 96.5 In The Diagnostic Imaging Of Metastatic Melanoma., Mansoor Saleh, D M. Miller, L Peterson, C D. Russell, M W. Unger

Haematology and Oncology, East Africa

We studied the efficiency of a standard-kit preparation using 1 mg 111In-labeled 96.5 monoclonal antibody in combination with 19 mg of unlabeled antibody in the diagnostic imaging of 27 patients with documented metastatic melanoma. Twenty-three of 26 patients (88%) demonstrated immunoscintigraphic localization of tumor. Of 104 metastatic sites previously documented by conventional studies, 62 (60%) were identified by immunoscintigraphy. A total of 77 sites demonstrated localization of radiolabeled antibody. Fifty-four (70%) corresponded to known sites of disease; eight sites (10%) were "discovered" by immunoscintigraphy and subsequently confirmed by conventional studies; 15 imaged sites (20%) could not be confirmed by conventional …

Nursing And Health Care In Jacksonville, Florida, 1900-1930, Linda Emerson Sabin

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study examines the development of nursing as a vocation, in the early twentieth century, within the context of a growing southern city and an evolving health care system. Nursing advanced from a domestic service to a recognized vocation during this era. An extensive survey of historical and nursing literature revealed few studies which focus on nursing and health care in an urban context. Those studies identified gave only brief glimpses of nurses and focus on northern cities. This investigation aims to add a southern chapter to the history of nursing and health care in urban settings.

Motivational Strategies For Employee Participation In Corporate Health Promotion, Laura Eileen Cook

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was designed to describe the motivational strategies being used by corporations to encourage and/or maintain employee participation in health promotion programs.

Women And Aids: The Future Is Grim, Mary E. Guinan, Ann Hardy

School of Public Health Faculty Research

Recently, we analyzed the reported cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in women in the United States.1 We found two areas of great concern: first, women are more likely than men to acquire AIDS through heterosexual intercourse, and second, women are the source of disease for about 80% of children with AIDS. In this column we will discuss the source and distribution of AIDS in women, and in a future piece we will discuss women as the source of infection for pediatric AIDS cases.

Multiple Small Bowel Perforations Secondary To Cytomegalovirus In A Patient With Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Herman P. Houin, James C. Gruenberg, Evelyn J. Fisher, Eugene Mezger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cytomegalovirus gastroenteritis can be a life-threatening infection in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Although gastrointestinal ulcerations from cytomegalovirus have been widely reported, our patient is only the second case reported with actual perforations in the small bowel.

T-Lymphocyte Subset Studies To Monitor Patients With Aids And Aids-Related Complex, Hajime Hayashi, Eugene Mezger, Michael J. Deegan, Evelyn J. Fisher, Norman Markowitz

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Multiple specimens from 124 patients from our clinic were evaluated for T4/T8 cell ratio over three to 28 months. Twenty-nine of 30 patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), 58 of 71 patients with AIDS-related complex (ARC), and four of 23 patients at risk showed initial T4/T8 cell ratios of less than 0.8. which either remained unchanged or decreased. Seventeen of 23 AIDS patients and two of 20 ARC patients with a consistently low ratio (0.3 or less) died during the follow-up period. This indicated that the severity of disease could be predicted by periodical T4/T8 cell ratio studies. These …

Gastrointestinal Complications Of Aids: Radiologic Findings, Marc A. Bernstein, Jeremy J. Hollerman, Peter J. Feczko

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a significant health problem. Patients with this disease develop unusual infections and neoplasms, many within the gastrointestinal tract. Of the 66 AIDS patients seen over a three-year period at Henry Ford Hospital, 25 patients had AIDS-related gastrointestinal disease, with one death attributed to this cause. The radiologic findings and pathologic correlation of this experience are presented.

The Clinicians' Guide To Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Thomas H. Swanson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a transmissible, rapidly progressive dementia of unknown etiology, mimics Alzheimer's disease, presents in middle life, and affects many central nervous system structures. The disease progresses in three distinct stages, culminating in death. Its occurrence is sporadic and its distribution worldwide. Pathological changes are varied, but spongy degeneration of the neuropil is classic. Research on scrapie, the animal model of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, has demonstrated that this unconventional, slow disease is transmitted via a small (less than 50,000 mW) particle, which is composed principally of protein. How this infectious particle, variably named prion, virino, or slow virus, invokes disease or …

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We have retrospectively reviewed our bronchoscopic experience in patients with suspected pulmonary complications of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex at Henry Ford Hospital between 1984 and 1986. The charts of 52 patients, representing a total of 87 bronchoscopic examinations, were available for review. The bronchoscopic findings as well as correlative chest roentgenograms and arterial blood gases are reviewed, and implications for therapy are discussed.

Abstract

One hundred ninety-four patients with cryptococcal meningitis were enrolled in a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy and toxicity of four as compared with six weeks of combination amphotericin B and flucytosine therapy. Among 91 patients who met preestablished criteria for randomization, cure or improvement was noted in 75 percent of those treated for four weeks and in 85 percent of those treated for six weeks. The estimated relapse rate for the four-week regimen was higher — 27 as compared with 16 percent — whereas the incidence of toxic effects for the two regimens was similar …
