Fluid Dynamic Stresses In The Region Of A Porcine Bioprosthetic Valve, Hani N. Sabbah, Paul D. Stein

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Mechanical forces caused by the dynamics of blood flow in the region of porcine bioprosthetic valves may directly injure the valve as well as formed elements of the blood. Previous in vitro studies in our laboratory evaluated quantitatively the fluid dynamic stresses in the region of such valves. In this paper we discuss our results in relation to fluid dynamic stresses found in patients with normal and diseased natural aortic valves. The levels of fluid dynamic stresses that may produce mechanical injury to erythrocytes and platelets are reviewed. These may indicate the extent to which fluid dynamic stresses may activate …

Immunological Involvement In Porcine Bioprosthetic Valve Degeneration: Preliminary Studies, Rollin H. Heinzerling, Paul D. Stein, Jeanne M. Riddle, Donald J. Magilligan Jr., John J. Jennings

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Preliminary animal model studies have indicated that porcine bioprosthetic valves can be recognized by the immune system. This report presents the results of a preliminary investigation on the implanted valves of 27 patients. While none of the 27 demonstrated an immune response to porcine serum proteins, five patients developed antibodies against the implanted valve leaflets. Cells were enzymatically eluted from a degenerated bioprosthetic valve and were classified by means of monoclonal antibodies. Although these cells were not found to be of T-lymphocyte lineage, they did express la determinants and had the morphologic appearance of plasma cells. We therefore conclude that …

Clinical Note: Use Of Clonidine To Detoxify Opiate-Addicted Patients, Dennis L. Caffrey, Tai P. Yoo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study investigated the utility of systematically administering clonidine to detoxify opiate-dependent inpatients. Fifteen patients received a 0.1 mg dose of clonidine orally at 8:00 am, 12:00 noon, 4:00 pm, and at bedtime. A 0.1 mg dose was also administered as needed if any withdrawal signs were evidenced, but this additional dose was rarely needed after the second day of treatment. Night sweats were the only significant complaint reported. All 15 patients were successfully detoxified after ten days of treatment.

Resource Exchange: A Case Study, Geoffrey Nelson, Edward M. Bennett, James Dudeck, Richard V. Mason

Psychology Faculty Publications

This paper describes a resource exchange program between two human service organizations: a public school board and a university. This case study illustrates the utility of the concept of resource exchange as a response to pressures for the effective management of limited human resources. With an emphasis on mutual goals, needs, and strengths, the resource exchange program expanded resources available to both organizations. For the public school board, new services in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention programs were developed. For the university, research and training opportunities were created. Finally, the fragmentation between and within the organizations was …

A Survey Of Graduate Education In Community Psychology In Canada, Geoffrey Nelson, Bruce M. Tefft

Psychology Faculty Publications

A national survey was conducted to determine current opportunities for graduate education in community psychology in Canada. The results show expanded offerings for academic and field work education in community psychology in the past decade. Also, faculty perceptions of the goals, activities, and adequacy of training in community psychology were obtained. Finally, similarities and differences between graduate education in community psychology in Canada and the U.S. are noted. Issues related to the development of community psychology in Canada are discussed.

Echocardiographic Evaluation Of Porcine Bioprosthetic Valve Degeneration, M. Alam, J. B. Lakier, S. Goldstein

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Spontaneous cusp degeneration is one of the most common long-term complications associated with porcine bioprosthetic valves (1-6). Recognition of its occurrence is essential for appropriate management to be instituted. In this report we have reviewed our echocardiographic experience with porcine bioprosthetic valve degeneration (7-8).

A Morphologic Overview Of The Porcine Bioprosthetic Heart Valve, Jeanne M. Riddle, Paul D. Stein, Donald J. Magilligan Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The glutaraldehyde-processed porcine aortic heart valve is similar in its microscopic organization to the human aortic valve (1). It is important to understand the detailed histology of this bioprosthetic valve because distinct components of its leaflets are altered selectively when the valve is initially collected from the pig and stabilized with the commercial glutaraldehyde fixation process. Further structural modifications also occur after the commercially processed valve has been inserted into a patient where it undergoes progressive degeneration.

Observations Suggesting A Possible Link Between Gammacarboxyglutamic Acid And Porcine Bioprosthetic Valve Calcification, Joseph A. Helpern, Stephen J. Mcgee, Jeanne M. Riddle

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Observations that link gammacarboxyglutamic acid (Gla) peptides with ectopic calcification are accumulating in the literature and may be summarized as follows: 1) Gla peptides selectively bind calcium and hydroxyapatite. 2) The presence of detectable levels of Gla in calcified tissue is concurrent with the onset of mineralization. 3) In an animal model, osteocalcin (a Gla-containing protein) accounts for more than 90% of all the Gla found in the resulting subcutaneously implanted calcified leaflet. 4) Vitamin D stimulates osteocalcin synthesis in cultures of osteosarcoma cells, and in vitamin D deficient rats subcutaneously implanted valve leaflets are not calcified. 5) Gla content …

Effects Of Tetracycline On Fecal Bile Acid Pool Composition In A Human: A Preliminary Report, Jerome R. Waldbaum, William T. Beher, Robert J. Priest, Sofia Stradnieks

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We studied the effect of tetracycline on bile acid pool composition in a human subject. A dosage of 250 mg (qid) of tetracycline for one week completely eliminated deoxycholic and lithocholic acid from the pool. Tetracycline may be of value for limiting the build-up of lithocholic acid in patients who are treated with chenodeoxycholic acid to dissolve gallstones.

Shared Ethnicity As A Correlate Of Acceptance Of The Formerly Hospitalized Mentally Ill, Jonathan Rabinowitz

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This study looked at shared ethnicity of former mental patient and community member as a possible correlate of acceptance of the formerly hospitalized mental patient as a potential tenant. This study is an exploratory study with a comparative perspective using a design in which the willingness to accept a former mental patient as a renter in one of four groups is explored. Current research in this field has ignored the variable of shared ethnicity. The findings of this study did not reach the .05 level of significance, however the results seem to indicate that in some cases shared ethnicity is …
