Advances In The Surgical Treatment Of Patients With Extracranial Cerebral Vascular Disease, Thoralf M. Sundt Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Since the subject of surgery for carotid artery occlusive disease is too broad to be covered in its entirety, we will dwell primarily on some results of cerebral blood flow measurements and electroencephalograms performed during this procedure, their meaning and relationship to states of cerebral ischemia, and some controversial aspects of the surgery. An understanding of cerebral hemodynamics and the tolerance of neural tissue to ischemia is of major importance to any surgeon or physician dealing with this illness.

Modern Immunology: Cells And Molecules, Franklin Mullinax

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Immune Complex Reactions In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, John Staige Davis Iv

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

We should first try to define systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Table 1 lists criteria proposed by a committee of the American Rheumatism Association. If four of these 14 major criteria are positive, then there should be about 98% specificity for SLE. There are clearly many facets to this disorder. Let us consider mechanisms that might account for a multisystem disease such as this.

The Interrelationship Of Intracranial Pressure, Cerebral Blood Flow, And Brain Metabolism In Experimental Brain Injury, Thomas W. Langfitt

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This presentation will be concerned with some of the relationships between intracranial pressure, cerebral blood flow, and brain metabolism as defined in animal models. We will also be concerned with the pathophysiological changes that occur among these numerous variables.

Advances In The Medical And Surgical Management Of Intractable Partial Complex Seizures, Hooshang Hooshmand

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Seizures can be due to a variety of acute, subacute, or chronic diseases with different etiologies. Clinically, they may manifest as focal or generalized phenomena. Whereas the majority of the patients suffering from partial seizures are easily controlled with medications, in a small number of patients treatment may fail. The failure may be due to incorrect diagnosis or incorrect therapy. The efficacy of medical treatment for seizure disorder depends upon six factors: 1) dosage; 2) the size of the patient; 3) drug interaction; 4) drug specificity for the disease; 5) the nature of the disease for which the drug is …

Progress And Problems In The Rehabilitation Of Patients With Central Nervous System Injuries, L.D. Amick

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Let us briefly consider the general nature of contemporary rehabilitation with highlights of its progress and problems. Paraplegia and hemiparesis may be thought of as the models of neurologic impairment.

Advances In The Management Fo Patients With Malignant Brain Tumors, Charles B. Wilson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In describing what is new in the management of malignant brain tumors, I shall confine myself largely to chemotherapy and shall outline what we think is important based on our own experience, what we have achieved with single and multiple agents, and where we are going. We have just reviewed our five-year experience and find that chemotherapy, perhaps, is the only thing that is new.

Corticospinal Fibers In A Prosimian Primate, Galago, George Edward Goode

Theses and Dissertations

The function of the central nervous system cannot be understood from inspection of a single region, for each cell and fiber has discrete connections. Therefore, a study of the nervous system requires distinct approaches. One fundamental approach has been the study of comparative neuroanatomy.

In a comparative study of the evolution of the primates and subsequently man, the investigator is confronted with a variety of animal forms. Each form represents an end product of a long vertical line of evolutionary development. The problem is to try to reconstruct the vertical line (ancestral forms) from the horizontal end products (extant forms). …

The Two-Way Mixed Model Analysis Of Variance, Kenneth Davis Buckley

Theses and Dissertations

The analysis of variance for experiments where the fixed effects or random effects model is appropriate is generally agreed upon with regard to testing procedures and covariance structure. It is only in experiments involving both random and fixed factors, i.e. mixed effects models, that controversy occurs as to the proper analysis. The mixed effect model has been considered by many statisticians, and several techniques have been developed for explaining its structure and performing its analysis for balanced data sets. The relationship of these techniques have been discussed in several papers as well.

The simplest case of the difficulties presented by …

Hepatic Ornithine Metabolism In Hydrazine-Treated Rats, Van Saxton Hubbard

Theses and Dissertations

Ornithine plays an important role in mammalian intermediary metabolism. Ornithine can be (1) utilized as a component of the urea cycle, (2) decarboxylated to form putrescine, a precursor of the polyamines, spermidine and spermine, and (3) converted metabolically to arginine, proline and glutamate. In prior investigations conducted in our laboratories and others, free endogenous hepatic pools of ornithine were found to be elevated following hydrazine administration. Consequently, time-course alterations of arginase, ornithine δ-transaminase, ornithine transcarbamylase, and ornithine decarboxylase activities were investigated regarding the effect of hydrazine treatment on hepatic ornithine metabolism in the rat. As an outgrowth of these investigations, …

The Relationship Of The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire Inventory To Clients Of A Methadone Maintenance Program, Margaret Ann Neale

Theses and Dissertations

An original study was undertaken to examine the relationship of clients of Project Jump Street, Inc., a methadone maintenance program, to changes in personality factors as measured by R.B. Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Inventory, to compare the national norms of drug addicts/methadone users to the result of the 16 PF of clients of Project Jump Street, Inc., and to determine if significant differences appear among treatment phase I, phase II, and phase III.

Twenty-one clients of the program, seven subjects in each of phases I, II, and III, were given the 16 PF by their counselors between September 10 and …

Synthesis And Evaluation Of Some Arylalkenyl And Arylepoxyalkyl Hydrogen Succinates And Hydrogen Glutarates As Inhibitors Of Rat Liver Β-Hydroxy-Β-Methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase, Paul Emil Marecki

Theses and Dissertations

Atherosclerotic disease is an almost universal phenomenon and increases in severity and frequency with increasing age. Atherosclerosis may contribute to several disorders including bursting of an artery, blockage of an artery, or induction of arterial clotting. The culmination of these diseases is usually premature since at the time of death the unaffected organs are in reasonably satisfactory condition and could have operated for several more years. Among the many factors which act in concert to produce the disease, serum cholesterol levels play a central role. It has been suggested that the lowering of cholesterol levels will provide an effective means …

Activation Of The Gamma Motor System In The Cat Following Selective Stimulation Of The Motor Cortex And The Pyramidal Tract, James Elliott Forbes

Theses and Dissertations

Until the mid to late 1800's, the cerebral hemispheres were considered to be only the sites of mentation and intellectual activity. On the basis of his observations of epileptic patients, HughIings Jackson (cited from Walshe, l935a) theorized that the cerebral hemispheres were also sites of motor control and sensory experience. The electrical excitability of the cerebrum was first demonstrated by Fritsch and Hitzig in 1870. Since then the motor representation of the various muscles has been mapped out and the types of movement in response to stimulation of the motor cortex and the pyramidal tract have been thoroughly studied.

Vcu Today (1973-11-21)

VCU Today, 1972-1988

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.
