Vcu Today (1973-04-12)

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.

Workshop Presided By William A. Dickinson, Jr., William A. Dickinson Jr.

Workshop presided by William A. Dickinson, Jr. Transcript of three cases that were discussed.

Advancing Technology Of Clinical Laboratory Practice, George Z. Williams

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In spite of the temporary antitechnology attitude of a portion of our society, the future will be an era of automated technology. Buckminster Fuller has reviewed the progress of industrial technology and points out that continuing scientific advances are inevitable and that technical applications will provide more equitable distribution of wealth, more time, more opportunity for education and intellectual pursuits.

The Modernization Of The Autopsy: Application Of Ultrastructural And Biochemical Methods To Human Disease, Benjamin F. Trump, Jon M. Valigorsky, Jane H. Dees, Wolfgang J. Mergner, Kook M. Kim, Raymond T. Jones, Robert E. Pendergrass, Joel Garbus, Julio H. Garcia, Jesus E. Viloria, Junichi Tanaka, Hannu Kalimo, Yoshinari Kamijyo, R. Adams Cowley

The autopsy has provided, and still provides, the stimulus for many attempts to reproduce disease in experimental animal models. This approach has become increasingly difficult, however, in the case of human disease, principally shock. The study of some pathological states in animal models requires testing in several species and final confirmation in man before this knowledge can be applied to living patients. In our studies the application of cell biology techniques at autopsy has permitted the generation of new hypotheses which are more amenable to further exploration in experimental models and can be more precisely related to human disease.

Microbial Monitoring, Harry P. Dalton

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The need for monitoring both areas for alteration in microbial flora, which may result in invasion or adverse effect on internal organs of the host, has been an accepted scientific fact of modern medicine for years. Questions remain, however, on how much monitoring needs to be done. What areas of the patients and the environment should be tested, and what are the practical uses of the results of such monitoring? Before attempting to answer these questions, let me give you an overview of how microbial monitoring has been used at the Medical College of Virginia hospitals and other institutions to …

The Pharmacology And Clinical Use Of Lidocaine And Procainamide, J. Thomas Bigger Jr., Elsa-Grace V. Giardina

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Both procainamide and lidocaine are useful for acutely treating cardiac arrhythmias, and procainamide can be useful in chronic antiarrhythmic regimens. Successful management of cardiac arrhythmias requires knowledge of: 1) the mechanism and natural history of the arrhythmia, 2) the physiologic state of the patient, and 3) the cardiac effects, pharmacodynamics, and general pharmacology of the antiarrhythmic drugs.

Conducting Pathways Of The Human Heart, Fergus O'M. Shiel, Fabio Gutierrez

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

For over a century the cardiac beat has been experimentally observed and analyzed. To a surprising degree the relevancy of the early researches persists, and the views of the 19th century investigators though modified, have not been eclipsed by time. It may, therefore, be appropriate to preface this clinicopharmacological seminar on arrhythmias by a brief review of the cardiac conducting pathways whose existence is generally accepted today and to retrace the concepts which led to their discovery.

Pharmacology Of Antiarrhythmics: Quinidine, Beta-Blockers, Diphenylhydantoin, Bretylium, Albert J. Wasserman, Jack D. Proctor

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The electrophysiologic effects of the antiarrhythmic drugs, presented elsewhere in this symposium, form only one of the bases for the selection of a therapeutic agent in any given clinical situation. The final choice depends on the following factors: 1. The specific arrhythmia; 2. Underlying heart disease, if any; 3. The degree of compromise of the circulation, if any; 4. The etiology of the arrhythmia; 5. The efficacy of the drug for that arrhythmia; 6. The toxicity of the drug, especially in the given patient with possible alterations in volume of distribution, biotransformation, and excretion; 7. The electrophysiologic effects of the …

The Pathophysiology Of Respiratory Failure In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, John L. Patterson, James P. Baker, Walter J. O'Donohue Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The most important pathophysiologic aspects of chronic and acute obstructive pulmonary disease involve disturbances in ventilation with resulting derangement of gas exchange in the lung. There is considerable variability in the type of abnormality, the time of its appearance in relationship to the history of the disease, and in the progression of the abnormality in blood gases.

Mechanisms Of A-V Block, Leonard S. Dreifus, Joseph Mcmenamin, Demetris Kimbiris

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Determination of the varieties of A-V block is predicated on the precise identification of the site(s) of conduction delay as prognosis, and therapy must follow on this basis. Further electrophysiologic and pharmacologic studies will undoubtedly reveal other mechanisms on the nature of A-V transmission.

The Evolution Of Sinoatrial Node Function In Man, J. Thomas Bigger, Harold C. Strauss

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The function of the sinoatrial node is complex. In nearly all hearts, this small bit of tissue is responsible for spontaneously generating the impulse which will be distributed to the remainder of the heart, maintaining coordinated electrical and mechanical function. In recent years, it has become clear that S-A node dysfunction is not rare, can cause disabling symptoms, and often presents difficult management problems. The challenges presented by the "Sick Sinus Syndromes" have increased our desire to know more about normal S-A node function and about function in disease states.

Mechanisms Of Supraventricular Tachycardia, Benjamin J. Scherlag, Ralph Lazzara

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, we have found a close association between the stress of A-V nodal conduction and the occurrence of atrial dispersion or aberration. We could not explain atrial dispersion on the basis of incomplete recovery of atrial activity, slowing of atrial conduction, or the occurrence of atrial fusion. We postulate that the phenomenon of dispersion of atrial activation is related to the functional dissociation within the A-V node seen during situations which stress A-V conduction. This phenomenon may represent a mechanism whereby a second area of "turnaround" other than the A-V node is involved in reentry atrial tachyarrhythmias. Indeed, such …

Quality Control In The Office Laboratory, Joseph H. Riddick Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

First, how can the quality of the office laboratory be assured and documented? Second, how can this information be disseminated to legislators and the general public? The first is an easily solved technical problem toward which this paper is directed. The second and probably the most difficult is a media problem beyond the scope of a technical journal.

The Effect Of Aflatoxin B1 On Growth Rate And Iron Metabolism In Juvenile Mongolian Gerbils (Meriones Unguiculatus), William Stanley Hastings Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

The metabolic secretions from Aspergillus flavus, aflatoxins. are often found as contaminants of agricultural products used for human and animal consumption. Aflatoxin B1 is the most toxic and carcinogenic of the aflatoxins. A reduction in weight gain has been observed when juvenile animals are fed aflatoxin B1 over an extended period of time. This reduction in weight gain may possibly result from an anemic condition induced by an alteration of iron absorption and/or distribution. The effect of chronic sublethal levels of this hepatocarcinogen on weight gain and the uptake and distribution of 59Fe++ were studied in this investigation.
