The Effect Of Treatment Of Acidosis On Calcium Balance In Patients With Chronic Azotemic Renal Disease, John R. Litzow, Jacob Lemann Jr., Edward J. Lennon

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Small but statistically significant negative calcium balances were found in each of eight studies in seven patients with chronic azotemic renal disease when stable metabolic acidosis was present. Only small quantities of calcium were excreted in the urine, but fecal calcium excretion equaled or exceeded dietary intake. Complete and continuous correction of acidosis by NaHCO₃ therapy reduced both urinary and fecal calcium excretion and produced a daily calcium balance indistinguishable from zero.

Apparent acid retention was found throughout the studies during acidosis, despite no further reduction of the serum bicarbonate concentration. The negative calcium balances that accompanied acid retention …

Ovarian Cancer: Diagnosis And Treatment, Hans L. Kottmeier

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I have made it my task with this paper to outline principles for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. Emphasis has been laid on pathology and on anatomical extent of the growth. The extension of the tumor should be outlined in detail at clinical examination and at laparotomy. Excision of the carcinoma should be performed to the greatest possible extent. Every effort should be made to keep the capsule intact. In cases of serous and endometrioid carcinoma fixed to surrounding tissue by firm adhesions, it may be appropriate to restrict the operation to an explorative laparatomy and to operate on the …

Total Treatment Of Endometriosis, Clayton T. Beecham

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Any discussion of endometriosis would be incomplete without an acknowledgment of the exceptional contributions Joe Vincent Meigs made to our understanding of this clinical entity. From the time of our founding member’s first published paper (Meigs, 1922) until his death, he was a contributor to our understanding of this disease. It was Meigs, who in his first publication pointed out the “atrophy” of endometriosis that occurred during pregnancy and lactation. In spite of this exceedingly important observation, 44 years ago, endometriosis was often treated like a malignant lesion. However, clinical understanding has led to the increasing use of conservative measures. …

Iatrogenic Disorders, Robert H. Moser

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The contemporary physician and his patient are riding the crest of the most dramatic expansion of medical capability in history. But the rapid proliferation of medical knowledge has not been entirely benign. Although our reverses have been minor in contrast to our advances, negative effects cannot be ignored. My discussion involves one aspect of this problem--the emergence of what I have called "Diseases of Medical Progress" (Moser, 1964).

The Controversy Over Generic Equivalency Of Drugs, Werner Lowenthal

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The truth about generic equivalency has not yet been determined. The arguments in the generic equivalency controversy are confounded by names, proprietary (trademark, brand name) as opposed to non-proprietary (generic, branded-generic), yet quality of the products is not necessarily related to any name. The efficacy and not the name of the product is important. The crucial question to ask is whether the product is clinically or therapeutically effective, giving reliable and uniform results.

Book Review, F. J. Spencer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The Traveler's Health Guide, B. H. Kean and Harold A. Tucker. Springfield, Illinois, Charles C. Thomas, 1965. The increase in foreign travel has produced an admirable interest in international health. Drs. Kean and Tucker's preface states that "This book has been written for the international traveler, with best wishes for his continuing good health." It contains information useful to the physician not only as a traveler, but also as a practitioner who must answer the queries of his medically sophisticated patients.

Autologous Agglutinators To Erythrocytes Sensitized With The Ripley Anti-Rh Antibody Digested With 14 Different Proteolytic Enzymes, Marion Waller

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Studies with 14 different enzyme digested globulin preparations of a single anti-Rh serum Ripley has revealed an astonishing array of autoagglutinators to his enzymatically degraded anti-Rh antibodies. These serum aggulutinators did not differ from isologous agglutinators found in most human sera. They were found to be IgG globulins and were not demonstrable in the macroglobulin fraction of non-rheumatoid sera. The IgM agglutinating activity in rheumatoid sera is indistinguishable from rheumatoid factor.

Scientific Approach To 4-H Food Projects, Grace Brill

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The scientific approach to 4-H food projects resulted from the stress on science from federal extension personnel of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and from surveys and consultations with representatives of the National Science Foundation. The result has been six bulletins prepared by the extension nutritionists of the University of Minnesota for the approximately 24,000 4-H members, aged 9 to 19, enrolled in 4-H food projects in Minnesota. The scientific approach has, consequently, added the question of "why" to the traditional 4-H approach of "how-to-do-it."

The Treatment Of Anxiety, John J. Schwab, Nancy H. Mcginnis

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Rational therapy requires accurate diagnosis. When we apply this precept to anxiety a fundamental question arises. Is anxiety an illness in terms of the now berated medical model which holds that an illness has a cause, a natural history, and hopefully a cure? Or is anxiety a basic aspect of the human condition, an innate pattern of response which becomes pathological when stress, induced by physiologic and social forces, is magnified out of proportion to the original stimulus? If the latter is true, then stress and social interactions are the causative factors, the anxiety only a reaction. Logically then, the …

Adrenergic Stimulation And Sodium Transport, Charles O. Watlington

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The effect of catecholamines and a beta-adrenergic blocking agent on sodium flux and short-circuit current was evaluated in isolated frog skin. Alpha stimulation (pronethalol plus epinephrine) decreased net sodium flux and short-circuit current to an equivalent degree. Kinetic studies during alpha stimulation demonstrated a decrease in rate coefficient for entry into the skin transporting compartment but no change in the rate coefficient presumed to be related to active transport. Beta stimulation (isoproterenol) produced an equivalent increase in sodium influx and outflux with no change in net flux, and development of non-sodium current. The results suggest opposing effects of alpha- and …
