Lice Of Public Health Importance And Their Control, Harry D. Pratt, Kent S. Littig

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Lice have been intimately associated with man for centuries. Infestations with lice occur today in the United States and many other countries despite great efforts to maintain high standards of public health. Public health agencies are often called upon if infestations include or expose large groups of people, particularly those in public institutions such as schools, jails, hospitals, or homes for the aged.

The three sucking lice that infest humans are: the body louse (Pedlculus humanus humanus), the head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis), and the crab louse (Pthirus pubis). The body louse is the …

Inhibition Of Kidney Mitochondrial Monoamine Oxidase Activity By The Nephrosis-Producing Aminonucleoside Of Puromycin, Paul Bartlett, Mei-Hwa Tu, Kathleen Ashworth

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Intraperitoneal administration in rats of a single large injection of the potent nephrotogenic aminonucleoside,6-dimethylamino-9-(3'-amino-3' =deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-purine, resulted in striking reductions in kidney cortex mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity, assayed on tyramine substrate The alterations in enzymatic activity correlated remarkably well with the onset and development of the massive proteinuria characteristic of the disease. The inhibitory effects were also produced in vitro, and Lineweaver-Burk reciprocal plots were clearly indicative of non-competitive inhibition. It is suggested that aminonucleoside inhibition of kidney mitochondrial MAO activity may be a biochemical lesion in the primary step of GBM collagen cross-link formation, whereby collagen fibrillogenesis is impaired …

Genetic Counseling For Hemoglobinopathies: A Model For Large Scale Application, Charles E. Jackson, Esly S. Caldwell, Ellis J. Van Slyck

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This report describes a project in a large urban, predominantly black, high school which combined a hemoglobinopathy survey with an educational and genetic counseling emphasis. The faculty and students received information on sickle cell disease explaining its genetic and personal implications. About 29% of the 2,700 students received parental permission and volunteered for blood tests in the initial year. Blood was examined by starch gel electrophoresis during the first year and by cellulose acetate electrophoresis during the second year. Of the 1300 total individuals studied, 7% were found to have sickle cell trait and 2% hemoglobin C trait. The cellulose …

Effects Of An Eeg "Seizure Discharge" On Operant Responding, Richard M. Lee, Julia A. Lee, Hendrik Van Den Ende, Lorne D. Proctor

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A post-stimulus "seizure discharge" recorded in the amygdaloid area of monkey brains was investigated primarily by studying its effects upon behavior. Three different operant conditioning schedules were used with animals implanted with multiple depth electrodes. The schedules involved the factors of number discrimination, attention, sequential responding, and self-stimulation. Although the electrical brain stimulation caused a disruption in responding, no behavioral effects could be attributed to the recorded discharge itself. This result, and previous findings, lead to the tentative conclusion that the discharge results from a physico-chemical, brain-electrode interface phenomena and is not neurophysiological in nature.

Dissecting Aneurysm Of The Aorta: Diagnosis, Treatment And Prognosis, Hahn J. Lee, Ellet H. Drake

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The records of 13 patients with proven dissecting aortic aneurysm were studied with particular attention to the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in each case. The three essential steps in reaching an early correct diagnosis included (1) history and physical examination, (2) serial chest x-rays and (3) aortography. Electrocardiogram and SCOT and LDH measurements seem to be of value only when incompatible with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Significant differences between Type 1 and Type 3 dissections were observed in their clinical manifestations, results of treatment and natural prognosis.

Gastrocolic And Duodenocolic Fistulas: An Experimental Study, Joseph L. Ponka, A. Karim Shaalan, P. C. Pesaros

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In an experimental study of gastrocolic and duodenocolic fistulas, it was clearly seen in 10 animals that duodenocolic fistulas result in the most serious loss of nutrition. Death from starvation occurred in all 42 animals in 30 days. Gastrocolic fistulas similarly resulted in weight loss and death of the animals in an average of 42 days. Lengthy fistulas between the stomach and colon caused no obvious disturbances in the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract. The significant microscopic changes included destruction of the mucous membrane and a decrease in size of the villi. The other noteworthy observation was that fistulous aggregations …

Diagnosis And Treatment Of Gonorrhea, Paul A. Kvale

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The various methods for diagnosis of gonorrhea are reviewed. Gram-stained smear of urethral exudate in the mate is appropriate, but for the female emphasis is placed on the use of culture on Thayer-Martin medium. Currently effective modalities of treatment are detailed, pointing out that higher doses of antibiotics are generally required for females with pelvic inflammatory disease than for males with acute gonococcal urethritis. The necessity for follow-up is also discussed.

An Improved Method Of Staining Paraffin-Embedded Bone Marrow Sections, Wanda Pusey, A. R. Villanueva

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cytological detail is well demonstrated in an improved method of staining aspirated bone marrow sections embedded in paraffin. The tinctorial patterns of the stain resemble some of its predecessors; thus, cell counting and identification involve little difficulty. The method has proven reliable, reproducible and a valuable addition in the diagnosis of bone marrow disorders. It is a useful tool in research problems in which objectives are the study of the bone marrow.

Using A Participating Relationship To Improve Teen-Age Unwed Mother's Self-Esteem, Linda Gail Reeves

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The study was to provide an approach to help teen-age unwed mothers increase their feelings of self-esteem and thereby attain a conceptual buffer for better coping with life. Self-esteem was defined as individual perception of the worth of oneself relative to that of significant others. The hypothesis tested was that the participating relationship a community health nurse has with a teen-age unwed mother will significantly increase the mother's self-esteem as measured by statistical Q-Sort analysis.

A convenience sample of twenty teen-age unwed mothers was obtained from referrals from San Bernardino County Health, Welfare, and Probation Departments. The girls were between …

Depression And Uncooperativeness In Public Health Patients, P. Sherrill Baugher, Nancy Lynn Swan

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to determine whether uncooperative behavior and a quantitative measurement of depression exist in the same patient in a public health nurse's caseload. Seven full-time public health nurses were randomly selected from the San Bernardino Public Health Department staff. They reviewed their caseloads and selected all the patients who met the general criteria.

Patients were then classified as cooperative or uncooperative based on the following specific criteria: (1) gives unreliable information, (2) uses the nurse as a "buffer" between helping agencies, (3) demands immediate gratification of requests in a stressful situation, (4) makes only token …

Assessing Attempted Suicide, Walter J. Cassidy

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Fifty successive patients attempting suicide are assessed from the standpoint of communication (how, when and to whom), manipulativeness, impulsiveness and the dangerousness of the pattern of behavior involved in the attempted suicide. This assessment is meant to clarify the component motivations of suicidal behavior, appeal and self-destruction. The earlier, more obvious the communication, the more definite is the manipulation, the more readily apparent the appeal function. Conversely the later, the less obvious the communication or the absence of communication, the more subtle or absent manipulation the greater is the dominance of self-destructive motivation over the appeal function of the attempted …
