Familial Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis In Blacks, Jack M. Bernstein, Michael Kleerekoper

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an uncommon disease that has rarely been reported in blacks. Historical, clinical, and pathological findings in three black patients, in addition to those previously reported in the literature, suggest that the spectrum of the disease is identical in both blacks and whites. Considering the disease as either different or unknown in the black population is probably not justified.

Acid Phosphatase: Clinical Utility Of The First Tumor Marker, Christopher J. Dipaolo, Jan Rival

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Acid phosphatase was the first tumor marker to be measured in blood. Although it is used as a marker of prostatic carcinoma, serum levels are also elevated in many diseases of prostate, bone, and hematologic tissue. While serum acid phosphatase concentration is elevated in patients with prostatic carcinoma or infarction, it may also be increased merely with benign hypertrophy and after prostate massage. Recent studies demonstrate that levels are not significantly increased after routine rectal examination. Although of limited use as a screening test, the assay may be useful in staging, prognostication during hormonal therapy, and in making clinical decisions. …

An Analysis Of A Sample Of Parents And University Freshmen In Regard To Their Attitudes Toward The Needs Of Sex Education In Community Schools, Linda C. Aleksa

Community & Environmental Health Theses & Dissertations

This study attempted to investigate a sample of both parents' and college freshmens' attitudes toward sex education, and the content and timing of sex education in the Tidewater schools. Two Likert-type scales each containing ten statements were administered in order to survey attitudes. A statistically significant difference was found in scores on the attitude toward content and timing of sex education scale between parents and college freshmen. Parents demonstrated a more favorable attitude toward sex education as an integral component of the overall educational curriculum. The majority of parents indicated support for including important aspects such as reproduction and indicated …

Zoonoses In Modern Medical Practice, Tom Madhavan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Zoonoses are infections transmitted by animals to man. Of the more than 50 such infections that are clinically significant, several are discussed in the articles by McIntosh and Madhavan and by Meyer and Adar in this issue of the Journal (pp. 7-13). These include brucellosis, leptospirosis, relapsing fever, Colorado tick fever, toxoplasmosis, psittacosis, and echinococcosis. The McIntosh and Madhavan article reviews the experience at Henry Ford Hospital with 60 patients, while the article by Meyer and Adar reports on an unusual case of echinococcosis of the spine and retroperitoneum that occurred at Haim Sheba Medical Center in Israel.

Compulsory Treatment In Psychiatry: Some Reflections On Self-Determination, Patient Competency And Professional Expertise, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this article the author examines the rationale, in legal and policy terms, of the inextricable association traditionally formed between certification and incompetency. He argues that forming categories of people in which the law automatically dispenses with the requirement of seeking consent is fraught with conceptual inconsistencies and practical difficulties. He further argues that clinical judgments made without the consent of the patient should be made subject to an independent statutory review. Such a review procedure could also be adopted for treatments which are unusually hazardous, irreversible or not fully established even if the doctor purports to proceed with the …

A Role For Dentistry In Managing The Oro-Nasopharyngeal Irradiated Cancer Patient, Michael R. Britt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Radiation therapy for oral and nasopharyngeal carcinoma produces direct and indirect changes in the oral cavity. Before such therapy is begun, the cancer patient should be examined by a trained dental specialist so that associated problems such as oral mucositis, xerostomia, radiation dental caries, osteoradionecrosis, and ageusia can be addressed. During and after irradiation therapy as well, the dental specialist should be involved in the treatment program. In this way, it Is possible to maintain the patient's dental system through restorative measures, mandatory use of topical fluorides, dental rinses, and preventive prophylaxis.
