Bedside Assessment Of Left Ventricular Function In The Respiratory Intensive Care Unit, Clifton L. Parker Jan 1973

Bedside Assessment Of Left Ventricular Function In The Respiratory Intensive Care Unit, Clifton L. Parker

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The measurement of the central venous pressure is a widely used technique for gaining information concerning the relationship of the blood volume as it relates to cardiac function. This concept has been widely popularized, and the central venous pressure measurement is extremely useful; however, it has too frequently been thought to be a direct measurement of cardiac function.

Commercial And Reference Laboratories, George J. Carroll Jan 1973

Commercial And Reference Laboratories, George J. Carroll

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, there are now in existence many good commercial and reference laboratories. I would use those laboratories with which you are most familiar, where you know the staff, those which can demonstrate reasonable speed in testing and can assure good quality testing and control at what you feel is a reasonable cost to the patient.

Introduction To The Phasic Effects Of The Vagus On Sinoatrial And Atrioventricular Nodes, Gordon Moe Jan 1973

Introduction To The Phasic Effects Of The Vagus On Sinoatrial And Atrioventricular Nodes, Gordon Moe

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I want to emphasize that the vagus has effects upon both the sinus node and the A-V node. It slows sinus discharge, and it depresses, delays, or blocks atrioventricular transmission. It is also known that under certain conditions that discharge of vagal fibers to the heart may be phasic. From the physiological standpoint, it ought to be phasic, particularly at slow heart rates. The reason it should be phasic is that when the systolic pulse wave arrives at the baroreceptor regions of the aorta and of the carotid sinuses, it elicits a discharge of afferent fibers in those regions which …

Some Important Factors In Community Dialysis Program, Allan A. Hoffman Jan 1973

Some Important Factors In Community Dialysis Program, Allan A. Hoffman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The purpose of this paper is to acquaint physicians who are not nephrologists with the experience of one of their colleagues in the operation of a hemodialysis service as a part-time endeavor. My intention is not to present detailed or advanced scientific data on dialysis techniques or on the care of chronic renal failure but to discuss how and under what circumstances the urologist, internist, or general physician might significantly augment the present treatment care system for end-stage chronic renal disease. I will attempt to describe a mode and philosophy of operation applicable to the community hospital and private practice …

Prostatic Acid Phosphatase: A Potpourri, Charles W. Moncure Jan 1973

Prostatic Acid Phosphatase: A Potpourri, Charles W. Moncure

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I would first like to discuss this enzyme, reviewing some of its chemistry, its clinical value and the pitfalls and problems associated with the routine tests. Then I would like to tell about some work in which we have been involved that we hope will increase the diagnostic value of this enzyme and perhaps point the way to advances in clinical enzymology in other areas.

Genetic-Metabolic News Jan 1973

Genetic-Metabolic News

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This is the first in a series of newsletters designed to inform the Virginia medical community of recent advances in the area of genetics and metabolism and to provide information regarding a variety of services that are available at the Medical College of Virginia. The number, complexity and expense of tests that are now required in order to make precise diagnoses in many of the newly described genetic and metabolic disorders make it impossible for most clinical pathology laboratories to provide these services.

Reentry, Gordon Moe Jan 1973

Reentry, Gordon Moe

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

There are two ways in which impulses can be generated: one is by the spontaneous discharge of a pacemaker cell in either the normal site or a subsidiary site, and the other is by reentry. The concept of reentry is a very old one postulated by clinical cardiologists many years before its demonstration.

Mechanisms Of Supraventricular Tachycardia, Benjamin J. Scherlag, Ralph Lazzara Jan 1973

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 …

Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias, Borys Surawicz Jan 1973

Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias, Borys Surawicz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The mechanisms of ventricular tachyarrhythmias fall into two broad categories of increased automaticity and reentry. It is usually difficult to differentiate clinically between the two mechanisms; however, I plan to discuss certain approaches that may be helpful in this regard.

An Introduction To The Third Annual Symposium On Respiratory Failure, James P. Baker Jan 1973

An Introduction To The Third Annual Symposium On Respiratory Failure, James P. Baker

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The rapid development of knowledge, techniques, and equipment in the area of respiratory care has both greatly improved and complicated the care of the patient with respiratory failure. Due to this progress, the physician who has an intermittent opportunity to care for these types of patients is at a major disadvantage. This publication will reach a considerably wider audience than had the opportunity to attend the symposium, and we hope it will extend our program to many other concerned physicians.

Non-Ventilator Management Of Respiratory Failure: The Ventimask, William B. Hunt Jr. Jan 1973

Non-Ventilator Management Of Respiratory Failure: The Ventimask, William B. Hunt Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This paper will detail the conservative management of acute respiratory failure in patients with chronic respiratory failure due to chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is important to recognize that this is a very specific group of patients. They have had a chronic hypoxia and hypercarbia for months or years preceding their current episode of acute respiratory failure.

Principles Of Inhalation Therapy, Walter J. O'Donohue Jr. Jan 1973

Principles Of Inhalation Therapy, Walter J. O'Donohue Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

With the increasing complexity of ventilatory equipment and the rapid development of new techniques for respiratory care, it has become progressively more difficult for the average physician to keep pace with clinical and technical advancements. The management of acute respiratory failure is now a demanding art which requires a broad knowledge of cardiopulmonary physiology and sophistication in the use of complicated equipment. Careful attention to detail is often the critical factor that determines survival. The mortality from acute respiratory failure has been substantially reduced in respiratory intensive care units where there are well trained teams of physicians, nurses, and technicians …

How To Get Patients On And Off Respirators, Terring W. Heironimus Iii Jan 1973

How To Get Patients On And Off Respirators, Terring W. Heironimus Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This title implies that one has already decided that one's patient needs to be artificially ventilated, that is, that he is in respiratory failure. How does one diagnose respiratory failure? Much of what I have to say in this regard is in terms of arbitrary limits, values, and guidelines. Since these guidelines are arbitrary, there may exist legitimate grounds for differences of opinion about some of them. However, we have found these guidelines to be quite helpful, and experience would indicate that they are reasonable.

Renal Hypertension, Eugene F. Poutasse Jan 1973

Renal Hypertension, Eugene F. Poutasse

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The advances in our knowledge of renal hypertension over the last 75 years represents outstanding accomplishments in experimental and clinical medicine. A review of the highlights of this important investigation in hypertension should begin with Tigerstedt and Bergman's work in Scandinavia which demonstrated in 1898, that extracts of kidney possessed a hypertensive action. They gave the name "renin" to the impure substance which produced this effect. For the next 30 years much work was done on the vasoconstrictor action of extracts of the adrenal medulla, the nervous system and the kidney.

Surgery Of The Genitalia In Children, Charles J. Devine

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I shall confine my paper to the external male genitalia. Most of the problems that we have dealt with have been congenital from simple meatal strictures to more severe, although not necessarily more serious, situations. In the last 18 years, I have worked closely with Dr. Charles Horton, and much of this report represents our joint efforts.

Meaningful Toxicology, Robert V. Blanke Jan 1973

Meaningful Toxicology, Robert V. Blanke

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The scope of toxicology, therefore, may extend from the study of a single element such as lead to a complex, chemically uncharacterized substance such as snake venom; from an overdose of heroin to the effects of long-term exposure to low levels of pesticides on anticonvulsant therapy. For the purpose of this discussion, we shall narrow the limits of the broad field of toxicology considerably, but it is important to be aware of the breadth and depth to which toxicology may at times extend.

Quality Control In The Office Laboratory, Joseph H. Riddick Jr. Jan 1973

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.

Evaluation Of Prepackaged "Kits", Rex B. Conn Jr. Jan 1973

Evaluation Of Prepackaged "Kits", Rex B. Conn Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Prepackaged laboratory kits for performing diagnostic procedures are frequently the most suitable alternative in the selection of laboratory methods, especially in the physicians' offices and small laboratories. Because of the previous lack of governmental regulations covering the manufacture of kits, many kits now on the market do not perform adequately and may produce misleading results. Each laboratory must evaluate each type of kit before it is put into routine use. This evaluation should include a review of published experimental data, comparison of results using the kit to results using a reference method and an experimental evaluation of the kit in …
