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.

The Gay Nineties: Oscar Wilde Reconsidered, Frederick J. Spencer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Sex and hypocrisy have always been bedmates, but never more than in Victorian England. In the “Gay Nineties” promiscuity was widely accepted in all social classes, although the aristocracy hid its lust behind a strict code of propriety. Country house parties catered to infidelities with the approval of the Prince of Wales, himself a notorious womanizer.

Changing Concepts Of Cancer Biology, Diagnosis And Treatment, Robert N. Taub

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Cancer is the number two killer in the United State and will probably account for some 400,000 deaths in 1982. The lung has now achieved the dubious distinction of being the most common site of cancer in men and causes the most deaths. Cancer of the colon and rectum is the second most common cancer in both males and females combined, whereas carcinoma of the breast and uterus predominate in women.

Breast Cancer: An Update, Wade K. Smith

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Breast cancer comprises approximately 13.9% of all cases of malignancy in both sexes and 19% in women, in whom it is the commonest form of cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that 110,000 women developed breast cancer in 1981, and some 37,100 deaths from the disease occurred. The five-year survival rate has been improving over the past 40 years as shown in Table 1, but patients remain in risk of recurrence indefinitely and survival for ten years is generally accepted as the minimal time period necessary to establish the validity of new therapies.

A Cyproheptadine-Reversible Defect In Acth Control Persisting After Removal Of The Pituitary Tumor In Cushing's Disease, Harvey V. Lankford , M.D., H. St. George Tucker , M.D., William G. Blackard , M.D.

Internal Medicine Publications

Abstract

We studied two phases of cortisol feedback suppression of ACTH in nine patients who had had adrenalectomy for Cushing's disease. Four had been treated by adrenalectomy alone and presumably had ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors. Five others were studied two or more years after transsphenoidal removal of an ACTH-secreting microadenoma. In both groups, cortisol-ACTH feedback during the first 30 minutes of cortisol infusion was abnormal; plasma ACTH fell only 2.7±2.6 per cent (mean ±S.E.), as compared with 28.0±10.1 per cent in five hypoadrenal controls (P<0.01). The fall in ACTH during the second phase of cortisol infusion was similar in the patients and the controls. Cyproheptadine corrected the feedback abnormality occurring during the first phase in both groups of patients with Cushing's disease; ACTH fell by 24.4±4.8 per cent (P<0.005). Persistence of a cortisol-ACTH feedback abnormality after removal of the pituitary tumor in Cushing's disease, as well as the correction by cyproheptadine, suggests that higher centers have a role in the pathophysiology of Cushing's disease.

Colonial Cultivation And Concoctions, Sara Jones Gomberg

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Have you ever wondered how to increase the value of your property? One way would be to include a well-cultivated herb garden, that is if you were a seventeenth-century colonist. Not only were the herbs much sought after for their culinary uses but also for their medicinal properties. Today’s medical library may not include a collection of botany books, yet botanical knowledge was a large part of early medical training and the mainstay of the “cavalier concoctions” used by colonists for medical treatment.

Recent Advances In Gastorintestinal Cancer, Galen L. Wampler

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Colorectal carcinoma accounts for the majority of all gastrointestinal cancers and is the second leading site of cancer, excluding skin cancers, in overall incidence in the United States. Cancer of the stomach, although decreasing in frequency is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, data from large numbers of patients such as can be found in Cancer Patient Survival Report No. 5 show only very modest increases in survival for patients with these diseases in recent years.

[Note From The Editor], Frederick J. Spencer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The MCV Quarterly ceases publication with this issue. No journal of this type can be self-supporting and we bow to the inevitable reality of inflation. The idea of the Quarterly came from Sami Said. Almost single handed he cajoled and coerced the Dean of the School of Medicine into finding the money for publication. Throughout its existence MCV/Q has remained true to its stated purpose of disseminating “scientific information from all sources”, resisting several attempts to convert it into a “house journal” or popular newssheet. In essence, it has been the printed pivot of continuing education in the medical school.

Recent Advances In Cancer Chemotherapy, Robert B. Diasio

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The present state of cancer chemotherapy can be reviewed in light of selected basic principles with an acknowledgement of the role of established chemotherapeutic agents. Four chemotherapeutic agents recently approved for clinical use and their impact when used in combination regimens should be examined. Several important concepts influencing chemotherapy in the 1980s include the use of chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting, the use of hormonal receptor data in planning therapy, and the use of in vitro tests on tumor specimens to predict tumor sensitivity to cancer chemotherapy drugs (prior to administration of these potentially toxic drugs to a particular patient). …
