Five-Year Plan For The School Of Nursing, 1967, Juanise Foster

IWU Digitized Nursing Archives

The document titled "A Five-Year Plan for the School of Nursing as Presented to the Board of Trustees" was proposed in 1967 and it represents a pivotal moment in nursing education during the 60's at Illinois Wesleyan University. This document was written in response to increasing the demand for skilled healthcare professionals. Not only does this document provide strategic proposals to increase the number of nursing students in the program, it also highlights the University's vision for growth and innovation from the late 60's through the early 70's. Additionally, the newspaper article titled "Expanding Nursing School", brings attention to the …

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 …

Sporotrichosis: The Significance Of Variations In Morphology Of Spores In The Tissues, Harry I. Lurie

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The histopathological diagnosis of sporotrichosis is briefly reviewed. The primary lesion consists basically of pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia of the epidermis, intra-epidermal micro-abscesses, a non-specific dermal infiltrate and granulomata composed of central micro-abscess surrounded by a zone of histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells. The significance of the asteroid body is discussed. Evidence is presented to support the view that the development of asteroid bodies and the amount of eosinophilic material in these bodies is related to host resistance and that cigar bodies are found in those cases with little or no resistance and in whom the disease disseminates rapidly and wildly. Avenues …

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 …

Complications Of X-Irradiation Therapy Of Pelvic Malignancy, Michael R. Deddish

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, a variety of sequelae that may follow x-radiation therapy of the lower abdomen and pelvis have been described. With the increasing use of supervoltage therapy and treatment with higher dosages, we can expect to see an increase in the number of injuries to internal organs. Surgical intervention after vigorous radiotherapy will be accompanied by more, and serious, complications. Careful planning of radiotherapy and regular observation during treatment by both the therapist and surgeon will do much to keep the clinician alert to the symptoms of overdosage.

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. …

The Pharmacology Of Newer Diuretics, Albert J. Wasserman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

There are now a number of different classes of diuretics with different pharmacologic effects. Several considerations dictate the choice of diuretic: 1. The responsiveness of the patient is of prime importance. If the patient is not known to be resistant to diuretic therapy, thiazides should be tried first. 2. The danger of alterations of volume and of electrolytes in the specific patient must be considered. Patients receiving digitalis will be subjected to much greater danger by the induction of hypokalemia than patients not receiving cardiac glycosides. 3. The pharmacologic effects of the specific diuretics must be understood for now the …

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.

Perspectives And Prospects In The Chemotherapy Of Gastrointestinal Cancer, William Regelson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

5-Flourouracil (5-FU) is the best agent for the treatment of all gastrointestinal cancers but should be used with restraint, since severe toxicity does not guarantee increased response or survival time. Experimental work suggests that glucose enhances cellular uptake of 5-FU. Alkylating agents are definitely useful and occasionally produce long-term responses. Mitomycin C shows activity but is not available. There are reports of responses to methotrexate, vinca alkaloids, and mithramycin, but their place in the management of gastrointestinal cancer is not established. The usefulness of alkylating agents or 5-FU as adjuvants to surgery is not clear, but evidence is accumulating which …

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.

Intracellular Co₂ Tension: Practice And Theory, Eugene D. Robin

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I have been asked to discuss methods of measuring intracellular Pco₂ and to discuss the physiology and biochemistry of intracellular CO₂ tensions. Actually, I am in a relatively fortunate position in that my difficulties in discussing the methodology of intracellular Pco₂ measurements are considerably less than those which face my two colleagues. The reason for this becomes apparent if one analyzes the following quantitative relationships. [Includes discussion.]
