Vcu Today (1977-03-16)

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.

Introduction, H. St. George Tucker

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A Symposium on Diabetes was presented at the Medical College of Virginia on September 23, 1976, sponsored jointly by the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism of the Department of Medicine, and by the Department of Continuing Education. The symposium was also sponsored in part by a grant-in-aid for continuing medical education from the Upjohn Company.


Insulin Receptors, William G. Blackard Jan 1977

Insulin Receptors, William G. Blackard

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Much of the emphasis in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus has justifiably been placed on the endocrine gland, the pancreas. Extensive studies on the biosynthesis and release of insulin from the beta cell, bihormonal control of metabolism by insulin and glucagon, and more recently the role of somatostatin have attracted the attention of students of the subject; but considerable evidence exists to suggest at least some role of tissue resistance to insulin in the pathogenesis of this disorder. There have been many advocates for extra pancreatic factors causing diabetes. One of the first was Mirsky, who proposed that diabetes might …


Insulin Treatment Of Diabetes Mellitus, H. St. George Tucker Jan 1977

Insulin Treatment Of Diabetes Mellitus, H. St. George Tucker

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, I believe in aiming for the best possible control for each patient through an empirical approach which seeks to arrive at the best schedule for the individual patient. We want especially tight control for the pregnant diabetic, and for this patient it is likely that multiple insulin injections are needed. If further experience confirms the benefits of multiple injections for juvenile patients, this type of treatment may also be indicated for these patients.


Oral Hypoglycemic Agents, Harold Rifkin Jan 1977

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents, Harold Rifkin

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, comment is made on the findings of the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP). The purpose of the UGDP was to determine whether or not control of blood glucose levels would help to prevent or delay vascular disease in non-insulin-requiring diabetics. After 8 1/2 years of follow-up at 12 university-affiliated treatment centers, "The findings of the study indicate that the combination of diet and tolbutamide therapy is no more effective than diet alone in prolonging life. Moreover, the findings suggest that tolbutamide and diet may be less effective than diet alone or diet and insulin, at least insofar as …

The Emerging Clinical Usefulness Of Complement Measurements, Shaun Ruddy Jan 1977

The Emerging Clinical Usefulness Of Complement Measurements, Shaun Ruddy

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Not many years ago the main purpose of “complement” seemed to be to drill holes in sheep erythrocytes. In the classic experiment which was part of every medical student’s microbiology laboratory experience, a magic stuff called complement, somewhat mysteriously obtained from guinea pigs, was either “fixed” or not “fixed” and the sheep cells either not lysed or lysed accordingly. That was about all there was to know about complement, and all one needed to know. Today the term "complement" embodies a group of plasma proteins which react in a complex sequence to mediate a variety of inflammatory effects, including changes …


Immunology And Disease Of Connective Tissue, Robert Irby Jan 1977

Immunology And Disease Of Connective Tissue, Robert Irby

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Since immune responses play a major role in the development of connective tissue diseases, it is not surprising that a number of laboratory studies reflect these responses. Prior to the 1940s when rheumatoid and LE factors became widely known, one relied mainly on erythrocyte sedimentation rate and serum electrophoresis to identify protein abnormality. Elevated sedimentation rate depends on rouleaux formation, and rouleaux formation is dependent upon large asymmetric molecules of fibrinogen and gamma globulin in plasma. The demonstration of gamma globulin has become the cornerstone of the immunologist’s edifice. It is amazing to see how the subspecialty of immunology has …

Introduction, John R. Taylor Jan 1977

Introduction, John R. Taylor

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This issue of the MCV Quarterly is devoted to a review of some of the problems in clinical neurology that present soon after onset and often require urgent evaluation and care. Problems such as seizures and headache are regular features of many types of practice. Others such as acute ophthalmoplegias are infrequently seen outside the field of neurology. Still others, for instance, head injury, are commonly seen but often require the attention of physicians with specialized training, such as Dr. Miller of the MCV Division of Neurosurgery. While every acute neurologic problem cannot be reviewed in a single issue, the …


Acute Bilateral Ophthalmoplegias, John B. Selhorst Jan 1977

Acute Bilateral Ophthalmoplegias, John B. Selhorst

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Bilateral ophthalmoplegia is that condition of weakness or paralysis involving one or more ocular muscles in each eye. Its sudden appearance due to an acute ocular myopathy is indeed unusual. Swash reported a single patient with acute necrotizing orbital myositis and carcinomatosis neuromyopathy. The more common bilateral ocular muscle diseases, such as dysthyroid exophthalmopathy, orbital myositis, and progressive external ophthalmoplegia, develop insidiously and are restricted to the orbit.


Indications For Antenatal Genetic Diagnosis, Fay Redwine, Robert E. Petres Jan 1977

Indications For Antenatal Genetic Diagnosis, Fay Redwine, Robert E. Petres

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The future of antenatal genetic diagnosis is an exciting one. Recent advances include the application of chromosal banding techniques to identify subtle abnormalities and rearrangements; ultrasonography, using high resolution gray scale equipment to permit delineation of fetal soft tissue and skeletal anomalies; and fetoscopy, using a small fiberoptic instrument to view the fetus directly and observe its development. With these advances in technology, it should be possible to enable even more women at high risk for genetically diseased offspring to bear healthy children.

Recent Advances In Cytogenetic Technology For Antenatal Genetic Testing, Judith A. Brown, Anna Carr, Elizabeth S. Cooper, Deborah W. Heritage

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The examination of human chromosomes has been a part of the physician’s laboratory armamentarium since the correct diploid number of human chromosomes was established and a method was developed for the in vitro growth of peripheral blood leukocytes to yield metaphase chromosomes. The discovery that on ultraviolet microscopy (UV), metaphase chromosomes stained with fluorochrome dyes displayed a characteristic pattern of bright and dull bands unique for a given pair of homologous chromosomes, was a major technological breakthrough in human cytogenetics; for the first time, every chromosome in the karyotype could be unequivocally identified. Although the short storage life of fluorochrome-stained …

The Genetic Counseling Clinic at the Medical College of Virginia, established by Drs. Peter Mamunes and R.B. Young in 1973, has been supported since its inception by a clinical service grant from the National Foundation – March of Dimes; it is one of 83 genetic counseling programs in the United States and one of three in Virginia that receive support from the Foundation. The Clinic provides counseling and diagnostic services for a variety of genetic disease and is the focus of clinical teaching and research activities of the Department of Human Genetics. The Clinic is staffed by member of the …


The Virginia Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness Program: Education, Screening, And Counseling, Florence N. Cooper, Robert B. Scott Jan 1977

The Virginia Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness Program: Education, Screening, And Counseling, Florence N. Cooper, Robert B. Scott

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In 1968, a program of screening for sickle trait carriers was begun as part of the work of the Hematology Division, Department of Medicine, at the Medical College of Virginia. It was felt that sickle cell anemia was more of a public health problem than was generally recognized, and in addition to instituting screening and education programs, data were collected to document the relative neglect of the problem.
