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 …

This presentation consists of several short stories from personal experience to illustrate the complementary nature of epidemiologic and laboratory research in the study of congenital malformations.

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 …

Urological Complications In Relation To The Treatment Of Cervical Cancer, Tassilo Antoine

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, today as ever before it is our main task as physicians to cure the cancer; however, we must not forget that we have to fight all other causes of death of our patients. Among these primary causes are the urological complications which are all the worse because they are iatrogenic. We have to be aware that most of the urologic complications can be avoided or eliminated if we think about them. Our task is not achieved by killing the cancer and saving the life of the patient; this life must be rendered worthwhile too.

Pharmacology Of Anti-Anginal Agents, Maurice Mcgregor

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion I would like to stress that these observations do not constitute direct evidence of the mechanism whereby the nitrates relieve angina pectoris. It is probable that they are capable of causing some reduction of myocardial oxygen consumption. However, there is increasing indirect evidence which suggests that the site of action of these drugs is principally on the large coronary arteries. Their administration may thus relieve coronary spasm, if this ever causes angina, and more importantly will increase collateral flow into ischemic areas of myocardium when collateral channels have become enlarged. Drugs such as dipyridamole which seem to act …

Continuing Experience In The Combination Of Radiotherapy And Surgery In The Treatment Of Uterine Cancer, John A. Stallworthy

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I will use two recent cases to illustrate the following four points: 1. That high doses of irradiation, though not a desirable prelude to surgery, are not an absolute contraindication. 2. That the final criterion of radiation response is not measured by exfoliative cytology, but by the length of time the patient lives without further evidence of tumour formation. 3. That planned combined therapy ab initio is less traumatic for both patient and surgeon than salvage surgery after failed irradiation. 4. That teamwork involving radiotherapist and surgeon is essential for success.

Exstrophy Of The Bladder: Its Variations And Causation, Victor F. Marshall

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Exstrophy of the urinary bladder is a very exotic malformation essentially limited to humans. This type of deformity presents a full panorama from very mild cases of epispadias to full cloacal exstrophy. Unlike many malformations, it does not correspond to a normal stage of embryonic development, and on that account does not appear to be a simple arrest of development..

The Physician As Humanist, George T. Harrell

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is appropriate that this lecture should be given in a building which is devoted to the broader aspects of living and which is located on the campus of an institution which treats bodily ills. This institution began as part of a liberal arts college. This tradition in the state of Virginia started with Mr. Jefferson when the University was established at Charlottesville. He decreed that one of the first chairs should be in medicine, not as preparation for a professional career, but as a discipline which should be understood by all educated men. The faculty at this institution has …

Symposium On Intracellular Ph, Pco₂ And Po₂: Introductory Remarks, John L. Patterson Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is a pleasure to welcome the three authorities who will carry the major load of presentations in our symposium today. They are Dr. Frans Jöbsis of Duke University School of Medicine, Dr. Eugene Robin of The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Dr. Norman Carter of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. We are also grateful for the presence of Dr. Lutz Kiesow of the Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Kiesow will assist in the discussions to be held after each major presentation. Each of these men is an international authority in his field, and …

Intracellular Ph Determination By Means Of Ph Glass Microelectrodes, Norman W. Carter

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A number of years ago I decided to attempt to measure the intracellular pH of skeletal muscle by a more direct method than those in current use, that is, by an electrode. I excluded all forms of pH electrodes except the glass electrode and then set up a certain number of characteristics or requirements that this electrode should have. First, the electrode should be insulated in such a manner that only the pH-sensitive portion is in the cell cytoplasm. Second, the reference side of the electrode group should also be within the cell, because the cell has a transmembrane potential; …

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Hyphema (hemorrhage into the anterior chamber of the eye), as the result of blunt injury to the eye, carries a potential danger of visual loss if not properly treated. This review of cases seen in the MCV Hospitals over the last decade lists some of the complications and stresses some of the important factors in the management.

Symposium On Pelvic Surgery: The 1966 Mcguire Lectures And Symposium, Randolph H. Hoge

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The Society of Pelvic Surgeons was formed in 1952 for the purpose of holding meetings for the free and informal interchange of ideas pertaining to pelvic surgery and related topics, and to exert influence for the betterment of the teaching and practice of pelvic surgery. In 1959 and again in 1966, the Society gave the McGuire Lectures and Symposium, thus diverging from its usual program of round table discussion among its own members.

The Role Of The Physician In Family Planning, Howard C. Taylor Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, one can find many reasons for believing that family planning programs should in general be associated with maternity services and that educational efforts should be concentrated during the weeks of pregnancy and the puerperium. During these periods the women of an age and fertility most in need of family planning are easily detectable. They are for obvious reasons interested in the subject and the most susceptible to advice. The staff needed for this work is already partly available among the physicians, nurses, midwives, and social workers connected with maternity services. The system promises to introduce birth control in …

Surgical Treatment Or Irradiation Of Cervical Carcinoma, Werner Bickenbach

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

All in all, the various methods, surgical with or without lymphadenectomy and irradiation, including supervolt therapy, permit marked individualization according to the age of the patient, her general condition, her operability, and according to the histological findings. It may be said for all methods that the best results are still obtained in the early stages of carcinoma. By surgery as well as irradiation, 90% or more permanent cures may be achieved. This, in view of the nature of cancerous disease, is an important fact.

Results Of 600 Wertheim Operations For Cancer Of The Cervix, Otto Käser

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The 600 Wertheim cases are composed of three series; the first consisting of 405 cases (1950 to 1963) from Frankfurt under the chairmanship of Professor Naujoks; the second consisting of 85 cases (1953 to 1962) from St. Gall, Switzerland, where I was at the time head of the department; and the third consisting of 110 cases (1963-1965) from Frankfurt. In these 600 cases neither the technique nor the indications were identical. Before 1958, lymphadenectomy was not used in Frankfurt; however, since then it has been an essential part of the procedure, and has been used in all cases from St. …

Epidemiology Of Adverse Drug Reactions, Leighton E. Cluff

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I would like to conclude by citing two rather interesting observations we have made. Three-quarters of all the patients in all our surveillance who have allergic reactions to drugs have had peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, or neoplastic disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Of these patients, three-quarters of the drugs producing allergic reactions are administered orally. The rates of allergic reactions to individual drugs in patients with gastrointestinal disease as opposed to those without gastrointestinal disease receiving the same medication, are significantly increased. What the impact is of inflammatory gastrointestinal disease 1) upon the absorption of the drug, 2) upon its …

Some Perspectives On Immunosuppressive Drugs, Robert S. Schwartz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, the antimetabolites have proven extremely interesting in the laboratory for the exploration of the mechanism of antibody synthesis and related problems. They have also proven to be extremely useful and interesting materials in the clinic. Whether they are going to replace any other standard forms of therapy, such as the corticosteroids, is, in my view, doubtful. Their use at the moment is experimental and their ultimate place in clinical medicine is by no means settled. They appear to have two important effects in man: 1) Suppression of antibody formation which can be, in many individuals, selective; and 2) …
