The Clinicians' Guide To Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Thomas H. Swanson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a transmissible, rapidly progressive dementia of unknown etiology, mimics Alzheimer's disease, presents in middle life, and affects many central nervous system structures. The disease progresses in three distinct stages, culminating in death. Its occurrence is sporadic and its distribution worldwide. Pathological changes are varied, but spongy degeneration of the neuropil is classic. Research on scrapie, the animal model of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, has demonstrated that this unconventional, slow disease is transmitted via a small (less than 50,000 mW) particle, which is composed principally of protein. How this infectious particle, variably named prion, virino, or slow virus, invokes disease or …

Renal Involvement In The Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome: Presentation, Clinical Course, And Therapy, Robert Provenzano, Warren Kupin, Godofredo C. Santiago

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Acute renal failure developing during the clinical course of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been related to complications of sepsis, nephrotoxic antibiotics, and recently to the development of glomerular lesions. Of 114 AIDS patients admitted to our hospital between January 1985 and June 1986. II patients (9.6%) developed acute renal failure. None of these II patients had a history of intravenous drug abuse or hypertension. All patients were male with an average age of 35 years old, 81% were black, and all were bisexual or homosexual. Renal failure was attributed to AIDS-related focal glomerulosclerosis (five cases), prerenal azotemia (one …

Pulmonary Complications Of Aids: Henry Ford Hospital Experience Between January 1984 And July 1986, Barry Lesser, Joan Price, Phillip Bruno, Evelyn J. Fisher, John Popovich Jr., Michael S. Eichenhorn

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We have retrospectively reviewed our bronchoscopic experience in patients with suspected pulmonary complications of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex at Henry Ford Hospital between 1984 and 1986. The charts of 52 patients, representing a total of 87 bronchoscopic examinations, were available for review. The bronchoscopic findings as well as correlative chest roentgenograms and arterial blood gases are reviewed, and implications for therapy are discussed.

Ultrasonic Evaluation In The Management Of Postpartum Infection, Chang Y. Lee, Beatrice L. Madrazo, Sheryl Parks, Michael Sandler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound in the management of postpartum problems, ultrasonographic examination was performed on 98 patients with suspected postpartum infection. The study includes only those patients who did not respond to antibiotic treatment for at least 48 hours and those patients who were readmitted to the hospital with suspected postpartum infection. Echogenic tissue was found in the uterine cavity in 12 patients, and significant fluid collection was found in 24 patients. Gas collection appeared in the uterine cavity in five patients and around the uterine incision in four patients. Fluid collection was found around the uterine incision …

Bilateral Anterior Cerebral Artery Occlusion In An Alcohol Abuser With Sickle-Cell Trait, Thomas H. Swanson, John L. Zinkel, Patti L. Peterson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The contribution of ethanol ingestion to brain infarction is unclear, although many studies suggest that the two may be causally related. We report an unusual case of bilateral anterior cerebral artery occlusion in a young female ethanol abuser with sickle-cell trait whose platelets showed hyperaggregability during epinephrine and adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation experiments. It is concluded that ethanol withdrawal and dehydration along with direct effects of ethanol on platelet aggregation may result in cerebral artery thrombosis. Sickling of red blood cells in the distal circulation also may be a compounding factor, but this is not proven.

Fasting Plasma Amino Acids In Relation To Serum Lipids In Human Male Subjects, Helen G. Mendiola

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The association of fasting plasma amino acids with serum lipids was studied in 23 healthy human male subjects with ages ranging from 31 to 62 years (45±9, mean± SD). There were 12 normocholesterolemic (serum cholesterol = 183±17 mg/dL) and 11 hypercholesterolemic (271±27 mg/dL) subjects. Venous blood samples were drawn three times at weekly intervals. Plasma amino acids were determined by ion-exchange chromatography, and serum cholesterol and triglycerides by enzymatic methods. Hypercholesterolemic subjects had significantly higher lysine and lower serine levels than normocholesterolemic subjects (p < .05). Serum cholesterol levels were positively correlated with plasma levels of lysine, ornithine and the lysine/arginine ratio (p < .04); and negatively correlated with phenylalanine and urea (p < .05). Serum triglyceride levels were positively correlated with plasma levels of lysine, glutamic acid, and valine (p <. 02); and negatively correlated with serine, glutamine, and asparagine (p < .04). These results add support to the hypothesis that specific plasma amino acids are associated with the metabolism of serum lipids.

Herd Improvement Service Forges Ahead, M P. Bond

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Since its establishment three years ago, the Herd Improvement Service has steadily expanded the range of services provided to Western Australian livestock producers. The genetic advancement and improved hers management offered by the service give farmers the ability to use modern technology in the most cost-effective way. There is an increasing realisation amongst farmers that to survive and remain competitive, it is worthwhile to invest in such technology.

The Herd Improvement Service is a statutory corporation which was formed to improve the productivity of the State's livestock enterprises. Most of the organisation's activities have been directed to servicing the dairy …

Clover Infertility Of Sheep : Continuing Problem, N R. Adams, Keith Croker

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Some varieties of subterranean clover, notably Dinninup, Dwalganup and Yarloop, contain compounds which act like the female sex hormone oestrogen. These plant oestrogens, or "phyto-oestrogens", interfere with the fertility of sheep and depress the percentage of lambs born.

Over the past 10 years our understanding of clover infertility has increased, and we can now gauge the extent of this residual problem. In fact, there is a widespread but low-level incidence of infertility which does not greatly affect individial farms but which has an important impact on the State's sheep production.
