Artificial Insemination In The Human, John A. Board Jan 1972

Artificial Insemination In The Human, John A. Board

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The idea that impregnation might occur without coitus has aroused interest since ancient times. In the second century A.D., there was recorded a hypothetical discussion concerning a woman who had been inseminated by semen previously deposited in the bath water in which she bathed. In 1322, an Arab used artificial insemination with horses. A wad of wool was introduced into the vagina of a mare and left overnight. It was then held over the nostrils of a stallion, and with this stimulus the stallion ejaculated on a cloth held in readiness. The ejaculated material was then introduced into the vagina …


Fetal Abnormalities Of Viral Origin, Paul D. Parkman, Harry M. Meyer Jr. Jan 1972

Fetal Abnormalities Of Viral Origin, Paul D. Parkman, Harry M. Meyer Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The high incidence of acute infections known to occur in pregnant women contrasts with the relative rarity of fetal damage and attests to the efficiency of the mechanisms by which the fetus is protected in utero.


Venereal Disease, Robert E. Petres Jan 1972

Venereal Disease, Robert E. Petres

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

At this point in time, the most intensive efforts toward education should be made in the medical schools. Very shortly these students will be faced with large numbers of patients with venereal disease, and we must prepare them. Unfortunately, this area in the medical school curriculum has been progressively crowded out by what seemed more important. It is now apparent that even though the prevalence of venereal disease may wax and wane, they will always represent a sizable medical problem. We must gear medical education and medical reeducation to meet these needs.


What Is New In Anesthesiology?, C. Paul Boyan Jan 1972

What Is New In Anesthesiology?, C. Paul Boyan

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The 25th Annual Stoneburner Lecture Series, held at the Medical College of Virginia, February 25-26, 1972, was devoted, for the first time since its inception in 1946 to Anesthesiology. Nineteen outstanding speakers from various parts of the country covered a wide range of pertinent subjects.


How Safe Is Halothane?, Peter J. Cohen Jan 1972

How Safe Is Halothane?, Peter J. Cohen

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Halothane (2-bromo-2-chloro-1, 1, 1-trifluoro-ethane) is the most popular inhalation agent in today's anesthetic practice. Its desirable properties include high potency, nonflammabilty, patient acceptance, a low incidence of nausea and vomiting, ability to produce bronchodilation, and ease of maintenance. Prior to its introduction in 1956, it was subjected to an intense examination for both general and hepatic toxicity. Although these investigations disclosed no evidence of adverse effects, reports of liver dysfunction after halothane administration have appeared constantly in the literature. Thus, although the general safety of this drug continues to be excellent, the clinician is confronted with a dilemma each time …


Health Care And The Anesthesiologist: Influence And Factors, Robert G. Hicks Jan 1972

Health Care And The Anesthesiologist: Influence And Factors, Robert G. Hicks

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, then, let us say that there are many factors influencing health care delivery of anesthesia in the United States. The people of this country expect improved delivery of medical care. The medical profession stands ready to do its part. And it expects the government to assume its liability. Simply stated, that means adequate funding.


Body Temperature During Surgery And Anesthesia, Amir Rafil Jan 1972

Body Temperature During Surgery And Anesthesia, Amir Rafil

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The recognition of fulminant hyperthermia and accidental hypothermia during anesthesia and surgery has given a new impetus to clinical thermometry in the operating room. It is suggested that in order to recognize and avoid these conditions in the anesthetized patient, a routine of continuous monitoring of body temperature be added to our armamentarium for patient care.


Progress Of Congenital Heart Disease: The Team Approach As It Includes The Anesthesiologist, Carolyn M. Mccue Jan 1972

Progress Of Congenital Heart Disease: The Team Approach As It Includes The Anesthesiologist, Carolyn M. Mccue

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Advances in cardiac surgery have been great in the last 30 years, but further progress is anticipated, especially in infants. A cooperative effort involving referring physicians, pediatric cardiologists, physiologists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and intensive care nurses is required to continue this trend.

The Psychiatric Scene: A Resident's View, Wesley B. Carter Jan 1972

The Psychiatric Scene: A Resident's View, Wesley B. Carter

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Residents desire efficiency in their profession and agree with suggested certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. They are troubled, however, that often the knowledge required by the American Board is not supplied in their residency programs. Perhaps the APA can intercede and provide more continuity.


"Teddy" (The Task Force For Emotionally Disturbed And Potentially Delinquent Youth), Susan G. Malbon Jan 1972

"Teddy" (The Task Force For Emotionally Disturbed And Potentially Delinquent Youth), Susan G. Malbon

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The Council on Correction of the National Council of Social Workers invited other Virginia organizations dealing with children to attend a meeting in December, 1969, to form a Task Force for Emotionally Disturbed and Potentially Delinquent Youth. Someone came up with the inspired acronym of TEDDY to avoid the long title while reminding people that this task force spoke for a group of children who need help.

Cytomegalovirus Infection Of The Eye In A Case Of Renal Homotransplantation, G. E. Madge Jan 1972

Cytomegalovirus Infection Of The Eye In A Case Of Renal Homotransplantation, G. E. Madge

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Ocular involvement in cytomegalic inclusion disease, a viral infection usually seen in infants, is rarely seen in adults except as a terminal infection complicating diseases such as malignant lymphoma and leukemia. In infants, chorioretinitis and the frequent finding of intracranial calcification make clinical differentiation from toxoplasmosis difficult. This report presents a case of cytomegalic inclusion disease involving the eyes of an adult who had received a renal homotransplant.


Observations Of Lens Epithelium In Cell Cultures, Walter J. Geeraets Jan 1972

Observations Of Lens Epithelium In Cell Cultures, Walter J. Geeraets

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The following investigation had been conducted to evaluate lens epithelial cells in vitro as a potential suitable model for future studies of chronic low dose ionizing radiation effects on this cell type in vitro. Since there is a great range of dose requirements to produce in vivo radiation cataract in man, monkeys, and rabbits, and an equally wide range in time from radiation exposure until the first minimal lens changes can be biomicroscopically detected, it may be assumed that in vitro comparison of cells derived from these three species may provide some explanation for the in vivo differences.


Genetic Counseling In Retinitis Pigmentosa, Van B. Noah Jan 1972

Genetic Counseling In Retinitis Pigmentosa, Van B. Noah

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

During his lifetime the practicing ophthalmologist will see more than a few retinitis pigmentosa cases. It is his responsibility not only to diagnose and prognosticate this eye disease, but also to set aside a little time in which to advise the patient and his family on its genetic aspects.


Some Common And Less Common Aspects Of Orthoptics, Elizabeth E. Porter Jan 1972

Some Common And Less Common Aspects Of Orthoptics, Elizabeth E. Porter

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Orthoptics (derived from the Greek word "orthos"--straight and "ops"--vision) has been in use for centuries at various stages of sophistication and has been applied to the treatment of visual anomalies not amenable to other medical approaches. However, today's orthoptic evaluation and treatment techniques date back only about 50 years, with continuous refinements in both knowledge and technical equipment. Orthoptic treatment is primarily directed towards restoring normal binocular vision; whereas, pleoptic treatment is aimed at regaining monocular vision. Thus, although the art of oprthoptics is in the final analysis an ancient one, its scientific application has been greatly enhanced and placed …


Chemical Changes In Amniotic Fluid, Ajay S. Bhatnagar Jan 1972

Chemical Changes In Amniotic Fluid, Ajay S. Bhatnagar

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

An ever present dilemma in modern obstetrical management is the proper timing of delivery of the fetus in situations where complications either threaten its own life in utero or significantly affect maternal morbidity. In such situations the obstetrician is confronted with the equivocal choice between premature delivery and the high risk to the fetus of continued intrauterine existence. In addition, he is placed in a unique position where any sort of direct communication with one of his "patients," namely the fetus, is nearly impossible. In the past, the delivery of obstetrical care to the fetus and the monitoring of its …


A Modification Of The Spectrophotometric Method For Determining Oxyhemoglobin Affinity, Jack D. Burke Jan 1972

A Modification Of The Spectrophotometric Method For Determining Oxyhemoglobin Affinity, Jack D. Burke

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The role of hemoglobin as a carrier of oxygen in the blood was established in 1859 by Hoppe-Seyler. Bert, using whole blood, furnished experimental data whereby an oxyhemoglobin affinity curve could be plotted. In 1886, C. Bohr published data on purified hemoglobin for the second curve of oxyhemoglobin affinity. By 1903, Bohr had established that the oxyhemoglobin affinity curve was S-shaped for both whole blood and hemoglobin in solution. Since that time, various methods have been reported, or modifications thereof, to estimate oxyhemoglobin affinity.


The Effect Of Electrical Curren On The Crystalline Lens, Herbert Wiesinger Jan 1972

The Effect Of Electrical Curren On The Crystalline Lens, Herbert Wiesinger

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, the cataractogenic properties of electric current were studies. Previous observations dealing with this subject utilized a multiple shock technique--something which is unlikely to occur in any accidental exposure. This study focused on the production of lens changes in rabbit eyes following single exposures of measured electric current.


Hormonal Changes In Pregnancy, Michael E. Yannone Jan 1972

Hormonal Changes In Pregnancy, Michael E. Yannone

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Because of the time factor involved, it would be an impossible task to present the vast body of biochemical information accumulated during the last decade on the endocrine aspects of pregnancy. However, certain key points can be made concerning the feto-placental unit and the hormone levels and effects in normal gestation. These concepts will be discussed not merely for their academic value, but also as a base to evaluate our present diagnostic and therapeutic endeavors in obstetrical practice. With the audience’s indulgence, an occasional personal conjecture will be interjected concerning hormonal mechanisms and clinical practices.


Postoperative Ventilatory Care, Terring W. Heironimus Iii Jan 1972

Postoperative Ventilatory Care, Terring W. Heironimus Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Postoperative ventilatory care implies that some significant percentage of surgical patients cannot breathe adequately in the postsurgical state and need to be appropriately assisted in order to do so. It further implies that there may be some difficulty in or complication resulting from such care. Both implications are correct.


Musculoskeletal Sarcoidosis And Rheumatoid Factor, Duncan S. Owen Jr., Marion Waller, Edward S. Ray, Elam Toone Jan 1972

Musculoskeletal Sarcoidosis And Rheumatoid Factor, Duncan S. Owen Jr., Marion Waller, Edward S. Ray, Elam Toone

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Articular manifestations of sarcoidosis were present in 19 of our 60 patients (32%). This correlates with previously reported studies. In all of our cases but one, the articular manifestations subsided in eight weeks. This fact and the absence of hyperuricemia are in contradistinction to other studies for which we have no adequate explanation.


Our Growing Numbers, Allan C. Barnes Jan 1972

Our Growing Numbers, Allan C. Barnes

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

According to Dr. Barnes: There is no one problem more immediately pressing or as crucial as the questionable future of man's existence of terms of our expanding population. The stress the immediacy of the problem, Dr. Barnes vividly illustrated by statistics the magnitude of the world's population growth. The exponential curve yielded by calculations of this rate of growth leads Dr. Barnes to state, unequivocally, that "...we have about six hundred years at the present rate of growth before every man, woman, and child on this globe has one square foot in which to stand. This calculation includes the polar …
