The Dental Health Status Of Pre-Columbian Peruvians: A Study Of Dental Caries, Missing Teeth, Attrition, Osteitis, Calculus, And Bone Loss, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Richard P. Elzay, Alejandro Pezzia
The Dental Health Status Of Pre-Columbian Peruvians: A Study Of Dental Caries, Missing Teeth, Attrition, Osteitis, Calculus, And Bone Loss, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Richard P. Elzay, Alejandro Pezzia
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Prior to the recent reports of Sawyer et al and Elzay et al on the characteristics and dental health status of ancient Peruvian cultures, only Stewart, Leigh, and Goaz and Miller had reported on the dental morphology and pathology of the pre-Columbian Peruvian Indians. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dental health of these ancient peoples to further our understanding of the development of dental diseases. This paper follows up and expands the report of Elzay et al to include another culture and completely new specimens, with a look at primary dentitions not previously available for study.

Patterns Of Prehistoric Epidemiology And Human Paleopathology, Mahmoud Y. El-Najjar
Patterns Of Prehistoric Epidemiology And Human Paleopathology, Mahmoud Y. El-Najjar
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Human paleopathologists are interested in the visible marks of diagnosable disease that reflect various aspects of human biocultural interaction. Whether infectious, nutritional, or a combination of both, pathological characteristics in the dry bone provide some insight into the health of past human populations. Paleoepidemiology and human paleopathology are important parts of ecology in that they deal directly with a major aspect of man's relationship to his environment. The significance of this relationship has, to a large extent, been neglected by human skeletal biologists. The purpose of this study is to examine one of the most important aspects of human biocultural …
Yawslike Disease Porcesses In A Louisiana Shell Mound Population, Louise M. Robbins
Yawslike Disease Porcesses In A Louisiana Shell Mound Population, Louise M. Robbins
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Human skeletal remains have been recovered from prehistoric and early historic sites in Louisiana with some degree of regularity for the past 75 years and on an irregular basis for the last 300 years. During his explorations of aboriginal sites throughout the Lower Mississippi River Valley, Moore made a special effort to collect skeletal specimens for shipment to the US National Museum at the Smithsonian Institution. A less well-known fact is that he also collected pathological specimens for shipment to the Army Medical Museum at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC. An unfortunate aspect of the Moore recovery technique, however, …
Paleoepidemiology Of Degerative Joint Disease, Robert D. Jurmain
Paleoepidemiology Of Degerative Joint Disease, Robert D. Jurmain
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
In order to contribute significantly to the description and understanding of human disease, paleoepidemiology must first recognize requirements which epidemiologists have long considered essential: 1) that the populations sampled are relevant to a set of specific hypotheses concerning a particular set of diseases: 2) that an adequate sample is employed to accurately represent the whole population: and 3) that wherever possible, sex and age parameters are accurately controlled. Given a specific set of hypotheses worthy of being tested, paleoepidemiology can be used not only to describe the distribution of significant human diseases, but also to help untangle and explain their …
Maxillary And Mandibular Jaw Size In Pre-Columbian Peru, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Richard P. Elzay, Dennis G. Page, Alejandro Pezzia
Maxillary And Mandibular Jaw Size In Pre-Columbian Peru, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Richard P. Elzay, Dennis G. Page, Alejandro Pezzia
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Varying techniques of measurement coupled with lack of sufficient data have presented great difficulties in the comparison of dental arch dimensions obtained by different workers. Several authors have attempted to delineate the arches. Lavelle et al measured the dental arches of adults from several different ethnic groups and found little difference between the modern British Caucasian, Australian aborigines, and North American Indians. They did, however, see considerable differences between these modern populations and a group of Anglo-Saxons and a group of West Africans.
Introduction
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The winter issue of the MCV Quarterly presents a departure from our usual symposium proceeding. We offer, instead, five full-length articles and two case reports that range from respiratory failure and the dental health of pre-Columbian Peruvians to a report of a rare clinical entity, an intrapulmonary lymph node presenting as a ‘coin’ lesion. We hope that our readers will find these papers interesting and informative.

Paleoepidemiology Of Infectious Disease In The Dickson Mounds Population, John Lallo, George J. Armelagos, Jerome C. Rose
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The major focus of paleopathology has been the delimiting of disease in time and space. Information about the history of specific diseases is the objective of many of these studies. While the chronological and geographical dimensions of paleopathology contribute significantly to our knowledge of disease, there are limits to this approach, which often fails to consider the interaction of biology and culture in the disease of prehistoric populations.

Insulin Treatment Of Diabetes Mellitus, H. St. George Tucker
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.
A Case Of Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome, Catherine Mckeon-Kern, Peter Mamunes
A Case Of Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome, Catherine Mckeon-Kern, Peter Mamunes
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Saethre-Chotzen syndrome was described independently by the Norwegian psychiatrist, Saethre, and the German psychiatrist, Chotzen, in the 1930s; since that time many cases have been reported, some using the terms acrocephalosyndactyly, type III, and craniooculodental syndrome. Clinically, the syndrome is characterized by premature closure of the cranial sutures, low-set hairline, nasal septum deviation, brachydactyly, and ptosis. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant with complete penetrance and great variability in expression. Because of this variable in expressivity, the syndrome is difficult to diagnose in the less severe form without a positive family history.
New Approaches To The Use Of Twins In Biomedical Research, Walter E. Nance
New Approaches To The Use Of Twins In Biomedical Research, Walter E. Nance
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Human geneticists are often accused of being preoccupied with exotic syndromes that are of marginal relevance to the general population. Brilliant success has been achieved during the past two decades in defining the nature and function of the genetic material, the molecular pathology of a large number of metabolic diseases, the phenotype of more than 2,000 Mendelian traits, and more recently the chromosomal location of a rapidly expanding number of human gene pairs. In contrast, relatively little progress has been made in the genetic analysis of quantitative traits such as blood pressure, serum cholesterol, intelligence quotient, skin color, height, birth …

The Growth And Development Of Genetics At Mcv, J. Ives Townsend
The Growth And Development Of Genetics At Mcv, J. Ives Townsend
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Genetics was well established at the Medical College of Virginia by the time I joined the faculty in 1960. At least one course in genetics was required of students in the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Nursing. The Department of Biology and Genetics, which was in the School of Pharmacy and chaired by Dr. Roscoe D. Hughes, also had a modest graduate program in genetics and two genetics research programs, one on facial growth in twins, supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, and the other on the genetics of drosophila, supported by the National Science …
A Diagnostic Approach To Acute Headache, Alan B. Grindal
A Diagnostic Approach To Acute Headache, Alan B. Grindal
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Headache is one of the most common symptomatic ailments encountered by the physician. According to one estimate, headache constitutes the major complaint in more than 50% of patients seen in office practice. This figure refers to patients with chronic recurring headache, many of whom are seen electively when they are asymptomatic, and may not accurately reflect the frequency with which patients present, during the acute phase, complaining of head pain. The term acute headache refers to those episodes of cephalgia which lead the patient to seek immediate medical care.
Uncommon Disorders Of The Lower Spinal Region A Report On Eleven Patients, John B. Selhorst
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
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
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
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.
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
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.

The Birth Of A New Department At Mcv/Vcu-Human Genetics, Peter Mamunes
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
In recognition of the central role of genetics in the health professions, the MCV/VCU School of Basic Sciences and Graduate Studies substantially enlarged its commitment to this discipline by creating a new Department of Human Genetics as of September 1, 1975, under the chairmanship of Walter E. Nance, M.D, Ph.D., an internationally renowned medical geneticist. Dr. Nance comes to Richmond from Indianapolis where he was Professor of Medicine and Medical Genetics at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Here at MCV/VCU, Dr. Nance will also have joint appointments in both the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics.
