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.

Carcinoma Of The Prostate: The Great Widow-Maker, John K. Lattimer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The percentage of urological cancers is considerable. Of all of the cancer deaths in our country, 10% are urological; in men alone, 18% are urological. It is immediately obvious that a very important aspect of this specialty is the treatment of cancer.

Clinical Pathological Coreelation Of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Copd), Orhan Muren

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

There are currently 15 million people affected with COPD in the United States. It appears that once the disease is well established or advanced, the ultimate course cannot be altered significantly. Emphasis should be given upon prophylactic measures. Discouragement of cigarette smoking is probably the most important means to reduce the incidence of COPD.

Recognition Of The Asthmatic Componnent Of Respiratory Failure, John L. Guerrant

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Respiratory failure from various causes is occasionally associated with or confused with asthma. Therefore, asthma should be considered and looked for in all patients with respiratory failure. Sputum eosinophilia when present is the most important indication that asthma may be important. Steroids used early and aggressively are usually indicated and effective.

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.

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 …

The Basic Principles Of Acid-Base Regulation, Orhan Muren

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, arterial gas studies including pH determinations can be vitally important in the diagnosis and management of patients with a variety of serious medical problems. These studies should be interpreted in the light of clinical and other necessary laboratory findings.

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.

Studies Of Teratogenic Viruses: Minute Virus Of Mice And Colorado Tick Fever Virus, Robert Eldred Harris

Theses and Dissertations

Studies were conducted in DUB/ICR mice with minute virus of mice (MVM), a single stranded DNA virus, and Colorado tick fever (CTF) virus, a double stranded RNA Virus, to determine if CTF virus had teratogenic potential and to characterize further MVM and its teratogenic effects. MVM is a known teratogen, whereas CTF virus had never been investigated previously for teratogenic potential.

In characterization studies of MVM infectivity, the following were determined: (a) Rat embryo cells proved to be superior to six cell lines in assaying for MVM infectivity; (b) MVM infectivity could be inactivated with common laboratory disinfectants, ultraviolet radiation, …

The Molecular Nature And Replication Of R Factor 222 In Proteus Mirabilis, Dennis Jon Kopecko

Theses and Dissertations

The molecular nature and replicative behavior of R factor 222 was examined in Proteus mirabilis . In deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA} from R+ P. mirabilis , R factor 222 was identified by CsCl density gradient centrifugation as 2 satellite DNA bands at densities corresponding to 50 and 58 moles percent guanine plus cytosine (% GC) . Replication of the 50 and 58% GC components of R factor 222 in P. mirabilis was analyzed during growth in the presence and absence of chloramphenicol (CAM} and after shifting exponentialand stationary- phase cells to conditions which inhibit host protein or DNA synthesis . CAM …

A History Of The Richmond Professional Institute : From Its Beginning In 1917 To Its Consolidation With The Medical College Of Virginia In 1968 To Form Virginia Commonwealth University, Henry Horace Hibbs

VCU University History Books

A History of the Richmond Professional Institute: From Its Beginning in 1917 to Its Consolidation With the Medical College of Virginia in 1968 to Form Virginia Commonwealth University was written by Dr. Henry H. Hibbs, Jr. (1887-1977), long-time leader of Richmond Professional Institute (RPI).

After he retired, Dr. Hibbs was paid a consultant's fee to write this book on the history of RPI. He designated VCU as the sole recipient of profits from the sale of the book.

Medical College Of Virginia Before 1925, And University College Of Medicine 1893-1913, William T. Sanger

VCU University History Books

The first North American hospitals were built in Virginia in 1611. Virginia continued to set hospital and health education trends with the establishment of the Department of Medicine in Richmond, later known as the School of Medicine, in 1837. Through data largely compiled by former secretary-treasurer of the College, J.R. McCauley, this book covers the early history of the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) and the history of health services education in Virginia from 1893 to 1913. Major events covered in this book include the effects of World War I on the College and the unsuccessful proposals to consolidate MCV …

A Comparison Of Microbial Contamination In Commercial Intravenous Fluids Packaged In Glass And Flexible Plastic Containers, James Bruce Guynn

Vcu Today (1972-12-14)

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.
