Morphological And Physiological Examination Of A Demyelinating And Remyelinating Lesion, Paul Anson Felts

Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences

Multiple sclerosis causes demyelination of central nerve fibers, and it is this pathology which results in most of the symptoms of the disease. The repair of the fibers by remyelination has been advanced as a potential symptomatic therapy, but at present the conduction properties of remyelinated central fibers are not well understood. In this study the conduction properties of Schwannian or oligodendrocyte remyelinated central nerve fibers have been determined. In addition, the status of the blood-brain barrier has been examined in lesions characterized by Schwann cell remyelination. These lesions chronically lack astrocytes, a cell believed to be involved in the …

Cervicofacial Actinomycosis In Children, Michael E. Friduss, Dennis R. Maceri

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Actinomycotic infections, once common in humans and cattle, are now rare causes of disease in man. This general group of organisms belongs taxonomically between the true bacteria and the fungi; however, the organisms behave clinically like true anaerobes. The organism, although phagocytized by the host cells, is not killed. Therefore, d is defined as a facultative intracellular parasite of the host. The protean manifestations of actinomycotic infections often mimic infectious processes, such as osteomyelitis or granulomatous disease, as well as neoplasia. It is therefore important for the surgeon to include actinomycosis in the differential diagnosis of cervicofacial masses in children …

Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Methods Of Diagnosis And Treatment, Ravi R. Sarin, Ajay K. Sangal, Timothy T. Schubert, Jan Rival

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Until two decades ago the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) was difficult to diagnose and stage accurately. Total gastrectomy was often the ultimate treatment. Improvements in the measurement of serum gastrin and in radiographic imaging have greatly improved the precision of diagnosis and staging. Treatment with histamine-2 receptor antagonists and proton pump blockers have eliminated the need for gastrectomy, and current surgical intervention is directed at cure through removal of the localized gastrinoma. We reviewed the management of eight patients with this diagnosis seen at Henry Ford Hospital from 1983 to 1988. Time from first presentation to diagnosis varied from two months …

Denker Rhinotomy For Inverted Papilloma Of The Nose And Paranasal Sinuses, Samuel A. Mickelson, Richard D. Nichols

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is an unusual benign neoplasm that has the propensity for local tissue destruction and an association with malignant degeneration. The tumor represents an inverted growth of epithelium rather than outward proliferation. It most commonly arises from the lateral nasal wall with growth into the nose and paranasal sinuses and only rarely originates from the septum. Presenting symptoms are usually unilateral nasal obstruction and clear rhinorrhea. Surgical excision is the recommended treatment though the aggressiveness ofthe approach has varied. Transnasal local excision has been associated with a high recurrence rate. Lateral rhinotomy with …

Management Of Chronic Staphylococcal Osteomyelitis Of The Temporal Bone: The Use Of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Vanessa G. Schweitzer

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is an effective adjunct in the management of selected otolaryngologic problems including radiation-induced necrosis of the temporal hone, malignant external otitis, mandibular osteoradionecrosis and refractory osteomyelitis, soft tissue head and neck necrotizing fasciitis, compromised skin flaps and grafts, acute air or gas embolism, and otologic barotrauma. We describe the management of a patient with insidious Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis of the temporal bone by the use of HBO preoperatively and postoperatively in conjunction with surgical debridement. The possible application of angiogenic agents and tetracycline hone-labeling in combination with HBO therapy in the management of refractory neurotologic disease is …

Entry Of The Hearing Impaired Into The Health Care System, Kathleen Yaremchuk, Jonathan Schmidt, Linda Dickson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The current system of referral of patients complaining of hearing loss usually requires a dual appointment with otolaryngology and audiology. Most of these patients have sensorineural hearing loss for which there is rarely surgical or medical treatment. This study tests the hypothesis that these patients would receive appropriate treatment and that health care dollars would be saved if an audiological assessment could identify those patients who require medical or surgical care. One hundred consecutive patients whose sole complaint was hearing loss were evaluated using audiograms and "hearing abilities questionnaires" by five audiologists using subjective and objective criteria to determine the …

Metastatic Carcinoma Of The Jaws: Report Of A Case, Jack L. Clark

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Primary malignant tumors of the mouth and jaws usually do not present a diagnostic challenge to oral surgeons or otolaryngologists. However, recognition of metastatic tumors in the mouth and jaws is much more difficult. A case is presented of metastatic carcinoma from the lung to the soft tissue of the oral cavity. Histopathology of the lesions in the lung and oral cavity as well as the chest x-ray and the Panorex x-ray are presented. The patient refused palliative treatment, became malnourished, and died. A review of the pertinent literature is also presented.
