Uncommon Disorders Of The Lower Spinal Region A Report On Eleven Patients, John B. Selhorst Jan 1976

Uncommon Disorders Of The Lower Spinal Region A Report On Eleven Patients, John B. Selhorst

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Prompt diagnosis of lower spinal diseases is essential for successful treatment. Appropriate medical therapy or surgical decompression arrests progression and reverses existing neurologic deficit. Delayed or improper diagnosis seriously jeopardizes the patient’s ultimate neurologic status. Too often early symptoms are disregarded or passed over as insignificant.

Oral Manifestations Of Cutaneous Disease, James W. Patterson Jan 1976

Oral Manifestations Of Cutaneous Disease, James W. Patterson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The list of diseases which manifest both oral and cutaneous pathology is extensive and consideration of them all is beyond the scope of a single brief report. Nevertheless it may be useful to summarize the findings of those disease in which both oral and cutaneous lesions are, or can be, significant. Recognition of the one can be a clue to the identity of the other, and evaluation of both skin and mucosa may often provide the first evidence of systemic disease.

Introduction, Marvin J. Allison Jan 1976

Introduction, Marvin J. Allison

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In 1970, a multidisciplinary study was initiated by the Peruvian government under my direction to evaluate health conditions in a population group which had lived in a relatively stable environment for some 5,000 years. So far, American and Peruvian archeologists, anthropologists, radiologists, anatomic, oral, neuro- and clinical pathologists, chemists, immunologists, an otologist, and students from many different disciplines have been involved in the study which has been supported largely by the National Geographic Society with many individual contributions.


Morphological Characteristics Of The Pre-Columbian Dentition I. Shovel-Shaped Incisors, Carabelli's Cusp, And Protostylid, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Richard P. Elzay, Alejandro Pezzia Jan 1976

Morphological Characteristics Of The Pre-Columbian Dentition I. Shovel-Shaped Incisors, Carabelli's Cusp, And Protostylid, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Richard P. Elzay, Alejandro Pezzia

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This Peruvian-American cooperative study of paleopathology of the pre-Columbian Peruvian cultures of Southern Peru began in 1971. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the medical and dental health status of these cultures which date from 600 BC to the Spanish conquest. While several authors such as Leigh, Moodie, Stewart, and Goaz and Miller have studied the dental morphology of Northern Peruvians, the paleodontology and oral paleopathology of the Southern Peruvians has not been recorded. This paper reports dental findings on the morphologic characteristics of the shovel-shaped incisor, Carabelli’s cusp, and protostylid.

Cutaneous Manifestations Of Venereal Disease, Charles M. Caravati Jr. Jan 1976

Cutaneous Manifestations Of Venereal Disease, Charles M. Caravati Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

There has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of venereal disease, and these disorders have become one of our major national health problems. It is obvious that if this chain of infection is to be broken, individuals with these diseases must be treated as early as possible in the course of the infection before there is a chance for it to spread to others. We have been implored to help find the sexual contacts of these individuals, and it is essential that we use the excellent epidemiological investigators of our health departments for this purpose.


Talon Cusp: A Clinically Significant Anomaly In A Primary Incisor From Pre-Columbian America, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Alejandro Pezzia Jan 1976

Talon Cusp: A Clinically Significant Anomaly In A Primary Incisor From Pre-Columbian America, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Alejandro Pezzia

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Shafer, Hine, and Levy describe the talon cusp, a structure resembling an eagle’s talon, as a cusp projecting lingually from the cingulum area of a maxillary or mandibular permanent incisor. This cusp blends smoothly with the tooth except that there is a deep developmental groove where the cusp blends with the sloping lingual tooth surface. The cusp is composed of a normal enamel and dentin and contains a horn of pulp tissue.
