Investigations On Congenital And Induced Osteopetrosis, Donald G. Walker Jan 1969

Investigations On Congenital And Induced Osteopetrosis, Donald G. Walker

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Osteopetrosis, or marble bone disease, is a disturbance of skeletal development in which the rate of bone resorption fails to keep pace with the rate of bone formation. Bone matrix accumulates excessively throughout the skeletal system, causing damage to neighboring tissues--particularly the dental, hematopoietic and nervous tissues. The line of investigation on osteopetrosis which has led to the current point of view that the thyroid gland represents the primary side of the disturbance was initiated soon after an experimental animal became available.

On The Antiquity Of Man, Roland Schmidt Jan 1969

On The Antiquity Of Man, Roland Schmidt

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Man is now lord of the earth and of the beasts and flowers, but he took millions of years to achieve his dominion. Two events more than others made man capable of his exercise of power. 1) A slowly achieved adaptation of man himself increased his potentialities far beyond those of other animals. The first step was man's gradual assumption of the erect posture. This put him on his peculiarly successful evolutionary path. It freed his hands and opened the way for the development of the central nervous system which made man unique in his capabilities. 2) A late revolution …


The Role Of Operations Research In A University Hospital: A Review And Bibliography, S. J. Kilpatrick Jr. Jan 1969

The Role Of Operations Research In A University Hospital: A Review And Bibliography, S. J. Kilpatrick Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In the 1968 Annual Report of the Medical College of Virginia (Bulletin, 1968, pp8,18) the shortage of trained medical personnel is stressed as a serious problem in the care of the sick. As a result of this personnel shortage, approximately 100 beds have recently been closed in the University Hospital. This underlies the need for large medical centers to use O.R. techniques in developing more efficient use of existing medical personnel and in seeking cost reductions while increasing the quality and coverage of medical care. When the medical center is a component of an urban university, both urban and medical …

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some Aspects Of The Problem In Great Britain, Keith A. Mant Jan 1969

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some Aspects Of The Problem In Great Britain, Keith A. Mant

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In Great Britain, until recently, domestic gas was made from coal and was always referred to as "coal gas." Today we are beginning to use natural gas, and the term coal gas is being replaced by "town gas." Most of the domestic supply, however, is still coal gas, which has a high though variable percentage of carbon monoxide (Mant, 1964). In any event it is always present in a highly lethal concentration. As coal gas is so readily available, it has been the most popular suicidal poison for many years, although the recent figures show that barbiturates are overtaking it …
