Chromosome Abnormalities And Repeated Abortion: A Preliminary Report, Susan English, Deborah W. Heritage, Andrew T. L. Chen, Reuben B. Young

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In view of the increased frequency of chromosome rearrangements demonstrated in these couples and the importance of counseling for future pregnancies, it would be wise to consider cytogenetic evaluation when all other probable causes for recurrent abortion have been ruled out.

Reconstructive Intracranial Vascular Surgery, John M. Tew Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is scarcely less than two decades since the initial cautious explorations of reconstructive surgery for the prevention of cerebral infarction caused by extracranial vascular disease began. The next years recorded an accumulative experience in the field of vascular surgery. Early clinical investigations led to the discovery that extracranial vascular disease is a major cause of cerebral infarction or stroke. Estimates indicate, however, that only 30-40% of the patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency have significant extracranial occlusive disease. For this larger group of patients, previous surgical methods offer no hope. It is the purpose of this report to review the current …

Advances In The Management Of Pituitary Tumors, Charles B. Wilson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A new development in the management of pituitary tumors is the transsphenoidal technique. It will be my purpose to show that it provides an elegant way of handling the great majority of pituitary problems, at least the ones that I have encountered, although it has its shortcomings as well as its advantages.

Advances In The Medical And Surgical Management Of Intractable Partial Complex Seizures, Hooshang Hooshmand

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Seizures can be due to a variety of acute, subacute, or chronic diseases with different etiologies. Clinically, they may manifest as focal or generalized phenomena. Whereas the majority of the patients suffering from partial seizures are easily controlled with medications, in a small number of patients treatment may fail. The failure may be due to incorrect diagnosis or incorrect therapy. The efficacy of medical treatment for seizure disorder depends upon six factors: 1) dosage; 2) the size of the patient; 3) drug interaction; 4) drug specificity for the disease; 5) the nature of the disease for which the drug is …

Advances In The Treatment Of Patients With Benign Brain Tumors, Harold F. Young

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Reliable ICP measurement allows an exact quantitation and management of intracranial pressure. This precise assessment of ICP is a valuable adjunct in the management of anesthesia for brain tumor patients. The proper combination of ICP and anesthesia management enables the surgeon to use the operating microscope to approach previously inaccessible areas of the brain and to perform meticulous surgery with a better prognosis for the brain tumor patient.

Progress And Problems In The Rehabilitation Of Patients With Central Nervous System Injuries, L.D. Amick

Advances In Neuroradiology, Frederick S. Vines, Charles Bonstelle

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The development of two new radiological techniques has significantly enhanced the performance of neuroradiological diagnostic procedures. The first of these was installed as the prototype unit at the Medical College of Virginia in November of 1972 and has marked advantages for the performance of encephalography, angiography, and air myelography. The present communication will relate the experiences of the author during the initial 15 months of clinical evaluation. The second technique is an entirely new concept of obtaining further information from the data provided by the penetration of x-ray photons. Each of these units will be discussed briefly with an outline …

Cerebral Blood Flow Studies In Stroke, John Stirling Meyer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This consideration of the relationship of neuro-transmitters not only to cerebral infarction but also to subarachnoid hemorrhage is, to my mind, the most promising area of investigation over the next decade. There is also a quantity of evidence that neurotransmitters play a large part in spasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage and in the disturbance of neurological function in that situation. Following subarachnoid hemorrhage, some remediable medical problems arise. Apart from clipping of the aneurysm, which the neurosurgeons are able to do, there is the problem of communicating hydrocephalus, which is extremely common in about 40% of patients. It can be discerned …

Surgery In Rheumatoid Arthritis: General Indications And Philosophic Considerations, R. S. Bryan

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, orthopedic surgery has much to offer the rheumatoid patient, particularly if the proper patient is chosen at the proper time. The advent of the total joint replacements, now in its infancy, gives renewed hope for the salvage of many derelicts and for the prevention of the severe disabilities and deformities which were all too frequent in the past.

Advances In The Management And Surgical Treatment Of Intracranial Aneurysms, Thoralf M. Sundt Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Patients who have sustained a spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage are victims of a very serious illness. Not only are they subject at all times to the potentially catastrophic results of a recurrent bleed, but they are faced with the manifestations of the irritative effects of blood in the subarachnoid space where the blood may function as a poison to the vessel wall. These acutely ill individuals may suffer a composite of secondary effects from a bleed which may include a communicating hydrocephalus, cerebral edema (ischemic or chemically induced), sterile meningitis, inappropriate ADH syndrome (osmotic effects of blood in the cerebrospinal fluid), …

Advances In The Management Fo Patients With Malignant Brain Tumors, Charles B. Wilson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In describing what is new in the management of malignant brain tumors, I shall confine myself largely to chemotherapy and shall outline what we think is important based on our own experience, what we have achieved with single and multiple agents, and where we are going. We have just reviewed our five-year experience and find that chemotherapy, perhaps, is the only thing that is new.

Validation Of The Oregon School Entrance Speech Screening Test, Patricia Ann Hamilton

Dissertations and Theses

This study was designed to validate a speech screening device entitled the Oregon School Entrance Speech Screening Test. The OSESST was developed to identify quickly those children entering first grade who are in need of speech and language intervention. The present study sought to determine what proportion of children with speech and language disorders was not detected by the screening test and what proportion of children without speech and language disorders failed the OSESSI. In addition, this study undertook to determine whether results of this investigation are consistent with those obtained on the OSESST in areas of articulation, syntax, language …
