Pacemaker Induced Ventricular Tachycardia: Report Of A Case With The "Runaway Pacemaker", Remigio Garcia, Eduardo Arciniegas Mar 1969

Pacemaker Induced Ventricular Tachycardia: Report Of A Case With The "Runaway Pacemaker", Remigio Garcia, Eduardo Arciniegas

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The "runaway pacemaker" is a serious pacing failure resulting from battery exhaustion or malfunction of some of the pulse generator components. Hypotension, rapid rate, dyspnea and palpitations were the main clinical features of one example of this iatrogenic arrhythmia presented here. When diagnosed, this condition must be treated as an emergency by disconnecting the subcutaneous wire electrodes from the unit and attaching them to a new pulse generator. The importance of frequent examinations with electrocardiographic recordings for the early recognition of this complication is emphasized.

Tetracycline-Based Measurements Of The Bone Dynamics In The Rib Of A Girl With Hyperphosphatasia, S. Jett, H. M. Frost Dec 1968

Tetracycline-Based Measurements Of The Bone Dynamics In The Rib Of A Girl With Hyperphosphatasia, S. Jett, H. M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Tetracycline-based quantitative histological analysis was made of a rib biopsy taken from a girl afflicted with hyperphosphatasia. The study revealed essentially normal bone dynamics on trabeculae, but greatly increased turnover in the compacta, which was largely composed of woven bone. Since both bone resorption and lamellar bone formation could be unequivocally demonstrated on periosteal, Haversian, and cortical-endosteal surfaces, it is suggested that the direct cause of the cell behavioral abnormality responsible for this disease may arise locally within the bone, but external to the bone cells. Because of its familial nature, however, the ultimate cause probably represents an inborn intracellular …

Contamination Of Stuffed Cloth Toys On A Pediatric Unit, Virginia Lois Fowler, Dynnette Nelson Hart May 1968

Contamination Of Stuffed Cloth Toys On A Pediatric Unit, Virginia Lois Fowler, Dynnette Nelson Hart

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of the study was to determine if cloth stuffed toys used by children in the pediatric unit of Loma Linda University Hospital carry microbacterial pathogens that are the same type as those pathogens found in the throat of the child using the toy. A second purpose was to determine how long the selected pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Diplococcus pneumonia, survive on the same cloth toys as used in the selected hospital. Throat cultures were taken of twenty-four patients and each patient was given a cloth stuffed toy selected to be studied. Cultures of the toys were …


Gaucher's Disease: Case Report With Stress On Eye Findings, Angel O. Carbone, Carlos F. Petrozzi Mar 1968

Gaucher's Disease: Case Report With Stress On Eye Findings, Angel O. Carbone, Carlos F. Petrozzi

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This interesting case report comes from an alumnus of Henry Ford Hospital - Dr. Carlos Petrozzi who was a medical resident here from July 1961 to 1964. The findings may be of interest to opththalmologists and others because of the rather specific changes in the bulbar conjunctiva which can be easily seen without special ophthalmic instruments.

Correlation Of The Transverse Sizes Of 6th And 11th Ribs In Normal And Osteoporotic Individuals, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost Mar 1968

Correlation Of The Transverse Sizes Of 6th And 11th Ribs In Normal And Osteoporotic Individuals, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In a continuing study of bone biodynamics, established values for the 6th rib are used to predict the parameters of the 11th rib. Autopsy samples of the 6th and 11th rib are compared and the correlation is used to validate studies of the 11th rib in osteoporosis showing normal cross sectional area with enlarged marrow cavity. The values presented are considered provisional until larger numbers of patients are studied.


The Cerebellopontile Angle, The Blood Supply Of The Brain Stem And The Reticular Formation: Anatomical And Functional Correlations Relevant To Surgery Of Acoustic Tumors, Jose Bebin Mar 1968

The Cerebellopontile Angle, The Blood Supply Of The Brain Stem And The Reticular Formation: Anatomical And Functional Correlations Relevant To Surgery Of Acoustic Tumors, Jose Bebin

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The cerebellopontile angle and the vascular supply of the adjacent brain stem and cerebellum are susceptible to compression and damage by tumor and may be injured, directly or indirectly, during surgery. Awareness of the normal anatomical features of the region is valuable to the neuropathologist, the neurosurgeon and the neuro-otologist. Following is the first of a two-part presentation which describes the anatomy of the cerebellopontile angle, the vascular supply of the brain stem and its pathophysiology.

A Brief History Of The Namru-3 Medical Zoology Program, Harry Hoogstraal Jan 1968

A Brief History Of The Namru-3 Medical Zoology Program, Harry Hoogstraal

United States Naval Medical Research Unit 3: Publications

The NAMRU-3 Medical Zoology program began during Easter week of 1950. We had just closed the NAMRU-3 field station at Torit, in Equatoria Province of soulheastern Sudan, and were heading homeward to the United States. However, the offer to remain in Egypt for a year or two to develop a Medical Zoology department at NAMRU-3 provided an interesting challenge after working for several years in tropical forests and grasslands of Africa and other continents. We shall briefly describe subsequent events under four headings: (1) Medical Zoology in Egypt, (2) Ticks and Tickborne Diseases of the World, (3) Kala Azar in …

Endocrinological Psychiatry And Psychology, M. Bleuler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This is the text of a lecture given before the Henry Ford Hospital medical staff by Dr. Bleuer, who is the son of Eugen Bleuler, his predecessor as chairman of psychiatry at the University of Zurich and the man who first named "schizophrenia". It is printed here with Dr. Bleuler's permission.


Incarcerated Femoral Hernia, Joseph L. Ponka Sep 1967

Incarcerated Femoral Hernia, Joseph L. Ponka

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Careful analysis of 12 complicated cases of incarcerated femoral hernia gives clues toward the correct diagnosis of this problem. Knowledge of the symptoms can prevent dangerous delays in undertaking urgently-needed surgical repair. The unique anatomy involved requires careful clinical examination but surgery should not await x-ray studies.


Osteoid Seams And Resorption Spaces In Standard Samples Of Human 6th And 11th Ribs, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost Sep 1967

Osteoid Seams And Resorption Spaces In Standard Samples Of Human 6th And 11th Ribs, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Studies of 6th and 11th rib samples taken at autopsy from 22 adults who had been seriously ill before death were compared, and it is provisionally concluded that the average number of bone forming and resorbing centers in a Unit amount of compacta are similar in each sampling site. More material on this continuing study of bone dynamics is scheduled for future issue of the MEDICAL JOURNAL.


Art In Psychotherapy, Robert R. Schopbach Sep 1967

Art In Psychotherapy, Robert R. Schopbach

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Art is a tool too often neglected in psychotherapy. A careful study of a patient's drawings will provide information concerning diagnosis, dynamics, and progress. If, in addition, the patient explains and elaborates upon the content and symbolism, the drawings become excellent psychotherapeutic devices providing an entry into the patient's unconscious.


Accidental Ingestion Of Anticoagulant Resulting In A Severe Hemorrhagic Diathesis, R. W. Monto, E. R. Williams, T. H. Greidanus, E. J. Van Slyck Jun 1967

Accidental Ingestion Of Anticoagulant Resulting In A Severe Hemorrhagic Diathesis, R. W. Monto, E. R. Williams, T. H. Greidanus, E. J. Van Slyck

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This case history of a 45-year-old woman, who had been issued Dicumarol instead of Dronactin in a pharmacy-filled prescription, describes an emergency therapeutic program to control hemorrhage with vitamin K, adrenal corticosteroids, and the giving of fresh blood. In a patient with a bleeding disorder, unintentional ingestion of oral anticoagulants is to be suspected if the prothrombin time is markedly elevated, if the patient has been previotisly treated with an oral anticoagulant, or is engaged in a medical or paramedical occupation. Diagnosis is confirmed by finding a deficiency of factors II, VII, IV, and X. and by the presence of …
