A New Surgical Approach To Stabilizing C1-2 Subluxation In Rheumatoid Arthritis, R. A. De Los Reyes, G. M. Malik, K. K. Wu, J. I. Ausman
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Atlanto-axial subluxation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis presents a difficult therapeutic problem. Because of their underlying disease, these patients do not tolerate the heavy orthotic devices or prolonged periods of immobilization associated with traditional methods of surgical fusion. This paper describes a surgical technique which allows early mobilization and minimal external fixation. The results from a series of ten patients in which this technique was used are also discussed.
A Role For Dentistry In Managing The Oro-Nasopharyngeal Irradiated Cancer Patient, Michael R. Britt
A Role For Dentistry In Managing The Oro-Nasopharyngeal Irradiated Cancer Patient, Michael R. Britt
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Radiation therapy for oral and nasopharyngeal carcinoma produces direct and indirect changes in the oral cavity. Before such therapy is begun, the cancer patient should be examined by a trained dental specialist so that associated problems such as oral mucositis, xerostomia, radiation dental caries, osteoradionecrosis, and ageusia can be addressed. During and after irradiation therapy as well, the dental specialist should be involved in the treatment program. In this way, it Is possible to maintain the patient's dental system through restorative measures, mandatory use of topical fluorides, dental rinses, and preventive prophylaxis.

Intractable Hiccups And A Posterior Fossa Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report, Timothy J. Laing, Mircea A. Morariu, Ghaus M. Malik, Suresh C. Patel
Intractable Hiccups And A Posterior Fossa Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report, Timothy J. Laing, Mircea A. Morariu, Ghaus M. Malik, Suresh C. Patel
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A 29-year-old man is presented who developed intractable hiccups following a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a posterior fossa dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The hiccups persisted even after various treatments had been attempted, and the AVM had been excised surgically. The hiccups stopped after a bilateral phrenic nerve section was performed. This report reviews the central causes and mechanisms of hiccups and emphasizes the importance of selective vertebral angiography in demonstrating posterior fossa AVM.

The Role Of Industry In The Development Of Biomedical Technology, Raymond H. Kahn
The Role Of Industry In The Development Of Biomedical Technology, Raymond H. Kahn
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The world is undergoing a biological revolution that has made unparalleled demands on the American health care system. This demand for health care and its escalating costs provide abundant Incentives for reducing the cost through better technology. Recent developments in medical technology include the CAT scanner, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), as well as new advances in prosthetic devices. Most biomedical research and development takes place at not-for-profit institutions, such as universities, hospitals, and private foundations, much of it supported by federal funding from such sources as the National Institutes of Health. But, today, the institutions are in danger of major …

The Polytetrafluoroethylene (Ptfe) Graft For Portacaval Interposition: An Experimental Observation, Alexander G. Yap, George Isshak, Ronald Lam, Roger F. Smith
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
In an attempt to determine the efficacy of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft as a portacaval interposition shunt, 26 mongrel dogs were randomly selected to receive a side-to-side shunt with a 6 mm, 8 mm, or 10 mm PTFE graft after portal hypertension had been created by hepatic vein ligation. The dogs were clinically observed, and if they showed signs of graft occlusion, they were reexplored surgically. The 6 mm graft had a 0% patency rate; the 8 mm graft had a 28.6% patency rate; and the 10 mm graft had an 87.5% patency rate. Histological examinations revealed adequate incorporation of …
Surgical Management Of Multicentricity, Nipple-Areola Involvement, And Bilaterality In Breast Carcinoma, F. Samhouri, M. Block, A. Kambouris
Surgical Management Of Multicentricity, Nipple-Areola Involvement, And Bilaterality In Breast Carcinoma, F. Samhouri, M. Block, A. Kambouris
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
During a five-year period, 457 women who underwent partial, segmental, or total mastectomy were assessed for multicentricity (31%), nipple-areola involvement (17%), and bilateral breast carcinoma (9%). These factors determined the extent of surgery performed and the possibilities for later breast reconstruction. The frequency of nipple-areola involvement in breast cancer strongly indicates the need for alternatives to their preservation for breast reconstruction. The study concludes that total mastectomy for invasive carcinoma is the preferred method of treatment for early breast cancer until further clinical trials have assessed the value of segmentectomy.

Second-Year Follow-Up Study On Systematic Treatment Of Chronic Pain With Antidepressants, Dietrich Blumer, Mary Heilbronn
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Systematic therapy with antidepressant drugs can be an effective treatment for chronic pain patients with the pain-prone disorder. This survey follows the pain status, medications, depressive symptoms, work status, and treatment of 104 patients treated for chronic pain at Henry Ford Hospital's Pain Clinic during a two-year period for chronic pain in the absence of a significant somatic disorder. No patients were excluded from treatment and the dropout rate of 64% after two years was not surprising. The pain of those who complied with therapy improved significantly (62%), compared to that of the patients who had dropped out of the …

Combining Provocative Agents Of Calcitonin To Detect Medullary Carcinoma Of The Thyroid, J. C. Sisson, M. D. Gross, J. E. Frietas, C. E. Jackson, B. G. England
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The presence of clinically undetectable medullary thyroid cancer can be revealed by characterisdc patterns of calcitonin in serum after the injection of a provocative agent, pentagastrin or calcium ion. However, in some reports, medullary thyroid cancer was uncovered in a test with pentagastrin but not in one with calcium ion, and vice versa. To reduce the number of erroneous responses, each provocative agent has been employed in separate tests. Combining pentagastrin and calcium into one stimulus should give the advantage of each agent while requiring less time and fewer analyses in a single test. We combined pentagastrin injection and calcium …

Preliminary Experience With Endoscopic Papillotomy, Bernard Schuman
Preliminary Experience With Endoscopic Papillotomy, Bernard Schuman
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Endoscopic papillotomy is a non-operadve technique used to manage choledocholithiasis and papillary stenosis. Considerable experience in Europe and initial results in a few medical centers in the United States indicate that it is effective and safe. Six papillotomy procedures were performed at Henry Ford Hospital without complication, and with a successful outcome in five. Endoscopic papillotomy is the procedure of choice for retained common bile duct stones less than 2 cm in diameter.
The Epidural Defect On Myelography: Some Unusual Causes, Keenan L. Carroll
The Epidural Defect On Myelography: Some Unusual Causes, Keenan L. Carroll
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This report describes four cases of epidural defect found on myelography that illustrate some unusual causes of this defect. These include a type I chondrosarcoma, primary hemangioendothelioma, hematoma, and an epidural abscess. Surgery was performed, and all four patients have recovered with little or no remaining neurological deficit. If there is anything unusual about the epidural defect or if the clinical findings do not agree with the radiographic films, the radiologist should be alert for other, less common causes of the defect.

Dysfunction Of Mitral Ball Valve Prosthesis, M. R. S. Nair, Wolf F. C. Duvernoy, Daniel T. Anbe, Eldred G. Zobl, Agustin Arbulu
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Three case histories of patients with malfunctions of Smeloff-Cutter mitral ball valve prostheses are presented here - one underwent successful replacement. The clinical diagnosis was made by observing a marked variation in the A2OC interval and intermittent absence of the opening click. Phonocardiograms were diagnostic in all three cases. while echocardiograms and even angiograms did not uniformly diagnose prosthetic valve dysfunction. Periodic phonocardiographic evaluations may be helpful in early detection of the prosthetic valve dysfunction. Once the diagnosis is established, immediate surgical treatment is imperative to prevent sudden death.
