Porotic Hyperostosis In The Eastern Mediterranean, J. Lawrence Angel

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Porotic hyperostosis is bone expansion caused by hypertrophy of blood-forming marrow. It usually affects the skull diploë in adults and the long bones, face, skull vault, and sometimes the trunk in children, often with some thinning and porosity in the cortex and even the formation of a double cortex (bone-in-bone) in severe infections. Excess formation of red cells in hematogenous marrow can come from sicklemia or thalassemia (especially in the homozygous form), from other hemolytic anemias including unusual blood defects like spherocytosis, and from iron deficiency anemia. Presumably hookworm, amebiasis and other dysenteries, endemic malaria, and even high-altitude anoxia can …

Paleoepidemiology Of Infectious Disease In The Dickson Mounds Population, John Lallo, George J. Armelagos, Jerome C. Rose

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The major focus of paleopathology has been the delimiting of disease in time and space. Information about the history of specific diseases is the objective of many of these studies. While the chronological and geographical dimensions of paleopathology contribute significantly to our knowledge of disease, there are limits to this approach, which often fails to consider the interaction of biology and culture in the disease of prehistoric populations.

Prehistoric Cremations From Nogales, Arizona *, Karl J. Reinhard, Jeff H. Shipman

Karl Reinhard Publications

In October, 1969, the Highway Salvage Section of the Arizona State Museum conducted emergency salvage excavations in conjunction with the construction of the Tucson-Nogales Highway. Ten cremations were recovered from a backhoe trench which had been placed within the city limits of Nogales, Arizona. Analysis of the cremations indicated cultural contact between the Trincheras culture of Sonora, Mexico, and the Hohokam culture of the Santa Cruz River Valley in southern Arizona.

Legionnaires' Disease: Description Of A Sporadic Case, Louis D. Saravolatz, Gene Tilchen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This first case of Legionnaires' disease seen at Henry Ford Hospital is described. A previously healthy 72-year-old man developed progressive pneumonia in September, 1977; it was unresponsive to treatment with cephalothin. However, he rapidly recovered when the treatment was changed to oral erythromycin. Diagnosis was established by serologic studies done at the Center for Disease Control. This pneumonia occurred in a sporadic form with no evidence of secondary cases.

Demonstration Of Unique Mycelial Components In Candida Albicans, David Jon Mancuso

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

Mycelial (M) and blastopore (B) cell homogenates of Candida albicans strain BJ85 were compared to detect and recover unique M components. Qualitative differences in the protein and lipid content of Mand B homogenates were suggested by discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (DPAGE). In addition, a quantitative and possibly qualitative shift in the protein content during germ tube formation was implied by DPAGE. Unique M components were detected using both DPAGE and immunoelectrophoretic (IE) techniques. One unique M component by DPAGE, four by IE, and two by combined DPAGE and IE techniques were suggested. Of these three methods, only DPAGE and the …

The Polymorphonuclear Neutrophilic Phagocyte, Gerald L. Mandell

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Patients who have too few functioning mature polymorphonuclear neutrophils frequently develop fatal bacterial or fungal infections despite our best efforts to prevent and treat those infections. Recently new facets of white cell function which enable us to better understand both normal and abnormal states have been found. Several review articles about polymorphonucler neutrophils (also called neutrophils and granulocytes – the latter term includes eosinophils and basophils) have been published recently and the reader is referred to these for more comprehensive coverage of the field.

Cancer: The Great Challenge For Immunology, Gerald Goldstein

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The existence of immunity to cancer was postulated by the eminent scientists who helped to establish the discipline of immunology. In 1907 Clowes suggested that human resistance to cancer resulted from what we today call “immune surveillance.” During the ensuing 70 years the results obtained from experimental animal cancers and human cancers have greatly influenced the palatability of tumor-immunity theories. Early optimism that immunity to cancer could be specifically induced waned and almost disappeared when it was demonstrated that the rejection of cancer transplants resulted from transplantation immunity and not tumor immunity. A sustained wave of enthusiasm for immunity to …

Bacterial Meningitis: Some Epidemiologic And Clinical Factors In Diagnosis, Vincent P. Calabrese

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In ancient times all acute delirium states were known as “phrenesis.” It was not until the 17th century that inflammations of the meninges and cerebrum were differentiated from each other. By the 19th century meningitis had been described to the extent that a number of epidemics were reported both in the United State and Europe, but it was the development of the lumbar puncture by Quincke in 1893 which opened up a new diagnostic era for the disease.

Lumpy Wool May Increase By Dipping : Research Roundup, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

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

Lumpy wool, or mycotic dermatitis, is an infectious disease on the skin of the sheep caused by the bacterium Dermatophilus conglensis. The organism invades the wool and hair follicles, causing formation of skin lesions producing scabby material which binds the wool fibres into a hard mass.

Research shows that 'dipping' may increase the incidence of lumpy wool with some chemicals a greater risk than others.

A Study Of The Identification Of Medically Important Streptococci, Margaret Antoinette Hardy

Theses and Dissertations

Summary:

1. The type of animal blood used in preparing blood agar plates did not significantly affect the demonstration of hemolysis by any streptococcal species except for S.faecalis. S.faecalis more consistently displayed an alpha reaction on sheep blood agar while expressing a beta reaction on horse and rabbit blood agars.

2. A recommended scheme for identifying streptococci, adaptable to most any clinical laboratory, was developed and is outlined in Table 13.

3. S.agalactiae (group B) was the most frequent beta hemolytic streptococcal isolant. Significantly, it was the only species over-all to be recovered from every clinical source. The CAMP test …

Susceptibility At High Inoculum Of Penicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus To Six Cephalosporins, Andres Suarez, Ramon Del Busto, Edward L. Quinn, Donald Pohlod

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Six cephalosporins (currently available for clinical use or undergoing clinical trials) were tested by tube dilution method against high inoculum (10⁷ colony forming units) of 37 strains of penicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. 3.1 μg/ml of cephalothin inhibited 100% of strains while higher concentrations of cefoxitin, cephapirin, cefamandole, cephalexin and cephradine were required. The percent of strains with minimal inhibitory concentration higher than 3.1 μg/ml ranged between 10.8% (cefoxitin) and 100% (cephradine). These findings support the observation that cephalothin is less susceptible to inactivation than the other cephalosporins. Although the exact clinical implication of these findings has not been established, …

A Screening, Referral, And Follow-Up Program For High Blood Pressure At Henry Ford Hospital: Part I. Results Of Screening, Andrea Foote, John C. Erfurt, John R. Caldwell

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Data are reported on the screening results from the Henry Ford Hospital screening, referral and follow-up program for high blood pressure. The report covers the period of March 27 through December 11, 1975, during which time 808 people were screened in the hospital lobby. Thirty-nine percent were found upon initial screening to have high blood pressure readings or previously diagnosed hypertension. Of these people, 70% were already under treatment for hypertension, but only 21% showed adequate blood pressure control (with readings below 140/90 mm Hg). Those with high readings were referred to their physicians. A paper on the results of …

Susceptibility Of Clinical Isolates Of Bacteria To Cefamandole, Cefoxitin And Cephalothin, R. Del Busto, A. Suarez, E. Quinn, D. Pohlod

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The in vitro susceptibility was determined of 274 isolates to cephalothin and two new antibiotics, cefamandole and cefoxitin. Cefamandole was comparable to cephalothin in preventing growth of cultures of the gram positive organisms except for penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus which was more sensitive to cephalothin. Cefamandole was more active than cephalothin against all the gram negative bacteria including Haemophilus influenzae and in addition it was active against many strains of Enterobacter sp. Cefoxitin was less active than cephalothin against the gram positive organisms but it was more active against most of the gram negative bacteria. In addition. It was active against …

Systematic Nursing Management Of University Students With Infectious Mononucleosis, Lillian N. Yelton

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Infectious Mononucleosis has been one of the most misdiagnosed entities in medicine. Its ability to mimic other diseases and the abundance of misconceptions about it have long confused both diagnosis and treatment. Since there is still no specific drug to combat this disease. patients with characteristic symptoms are treated symptomatically for the period of extended convalescence. This study was carried out to explore the possible effects of systematic nursing management on Infectious Mononucleosis patients, in order to evaluate those things that significantly influence the patient’s course of illness and recovery, in a university outpatient health service.

The hypothesis formulated was: …

Histology Of Apical Tissue : A Comparative Study Of Sargenti Formula, Short Vs. Overfill, James G. Schulze

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Four Stump-tail monkeys (Macaca spiciosa) were used for this study to analyze, on a cellular level, the apical tissue of teeth overfilled versus teeth filled short 1-3 mm. of the radiographic apex with the Sargenti formula. In each animal four incisors were filled short and four incisors were overfilled. A final sample size consisted of 28 teeth. The time periods ranged from 48 hours to 120 days. After analysis of the histology it can be stated that the teeth filled short showed no inflammation to moderate inflammation in the periapical tissues. In teeth overfilled there was a range from moderate …
