Surgical Treatment Of The Upper Extremity In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Charles L. Mcdowell
Surgical Treatment Of The Upper Extremity In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Charles L. Mcdowell
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
All surgical procedures designed to preserve or improve function in the extremities, whether in rheumatoid arthritis or not, must consider the functional emphasis of the upper extremity as compared to the lower extremity. The upper extremity has, as its primary goal, mobility and prehension, whereas in the lower extremity, stability is the most important goal, mobility the next in order of importance, and prehension the least important. For example, the feet fulfill a need for stability with very little requirement for prehension, but the hand is more an instrument for prehension and there is less need to consider stability. I …
Diagnostic Concordance Of Serological Tests For Antiglobulin Antibodies, Marion Waller
Diagnostic Concordance Of Serological Tests For Antiglobulin Antibodies, Marion Waller
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Rheumatoid factors are present in a variety of disease states and in normal persons, usually in low titer. High titers of rheumatoid factors are almost exclusively associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Viruses And The Conntective Tissue Diseases, Morris Ziff
Viruses And The Conntective Tissue Diseases, Morris Ziff
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
A number of observations in the last few years have attracted attention to the possibility of viral infection in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). One of these is the occurrence of interwoven tubular structures, usually in the endothelial cells of the kidney but also in the lymphocytes and in fibroblasts when SLE skin fibroblasts are cultured. These tubular structures have resembled viruses (they were thought by their discoverers to be myxo- or paramyxoviruses), but it has been argued that they are not viruses because of their size and appearance and because they have been produced in tissue cultures from subjects who …
The "Three R'S" Of Delayed Hypersensitivity, David Horwitz
The "Three R'S" Of Delayed Hypersensitivity, David Horwitz
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Delayed hypersensitivity is one of several immune responses initiated by thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes. The mononuclear infiltrate of delayed hypersensitivity is a collaborative phenomenon between T lymphocytes and monocytes. This collaboration can be separated into components which I have chosen to call the "three R's" of delayed hypersensitivity. In this discussion I will define these "three R's" and examine the usefulness of this concept in clinical medicine.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: Early Diagnosis, Management, And Prognosis, John J. Calabro
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: Early Diagnosis, Management, And Prognosis, John J. Calabro
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the major chronic rheumatic disorder of childhood. It affects as many as 250,000 American children and is slightly more common in girls than boys.
Arteriography Of Cerebrovascular Disease, Frederick S. Vines
Arteriography Of Cerebrovascular Disease, Frederick S. Vines
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The importance of complete angiographic studies in patients suspected of extracranial vascular disease has been emphasized. Examples of a variety of lesions of the intracranial and extracranial circulation have been shown. It is important that the angiographer obtain adequate visualization of the circulation cephalad to the aortic arch with awareness of the type of lesion and technical problems that may be encountered. It is only in this way that further understanding of the "stroke syndrome" can be attained with appropriate therapy.
The Neuro-Ophthalmology Of Cerebrovascular Disease, John W. Harbison
The Neuro-Ophthalmology Of Cerebrovascular Disease, John W. Harbison
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The neuro-ophthalmology of cerebrovascular disease is a vast plain of neuro-ophthalmic vistas, encompassing virtually all areas of disturbances of the eye-brain mechanism. This paper will be restricted to those areas of the neuro-ophthalmology of cerebrovascular disease which one might consider advances in its clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Medical Management Of Cerebral Vascular Disease, William K. Hass
Medical Management Of Cerebral Vascular Disease, William K. Hass
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The judicious mixture of surgical therapy and prophylactic therapy with a safe platelet antiaggregant appears at this time to be the best combination of approaches to the axiom: The best time to treat a stroke is before it happens.
Advances In The Surgical Treatment Of Patients With Extracranial Cerebral Vascular Disease, Thoralf M. Sundt Jr.
Advances In The Surgical Treatment Of Patients With Extracranial Cerebral Vascular Disease, Thoralf M. Sundt Jr.
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Since the subject of surgery for carotid artery occlusive disease is too broad to be covered in its entirety, we will dwell primarily on some results of cerebral blood flow measurements and electroencephalograms performed during this procedure, their meaning and relationship to states of cerebral ischemia, and some controversial aspects of the surgery. An understanding of cerebral hemodynamics and the tolerance of neural tissue to ischemia is of major importance to any surgeon or physician dealing with this illness.
Clinical Advances In The Evaluation Of Deep Coma, Cary Suter
Clinical Advances In The Evaluation Of Deep Coma, Cary Suter
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Today, 1974, in large medical centers, evaluation of the patient in coma is almost a daily necessity, and the need to evaluate the patient in deep coma arises once or twice every week. Even in smaller hospitals the problem is not uncommon. This has come about because many laymen and most medical personnel are now well trained in methods of cardiorespiratory resuscitation. Persons are not allowed to die easily and once resuscitated, are moved to intensive care units where life is maintained. Fortunately, if they do not die of their underlying disease, such as trauma or myocardial infarction, many patients …

Introduction, Donald P. Becker
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
This issue represents the second part of the 27th Annual Stoneburner Lecture Series delivered at the Medical College of Virginia in February 1974. Here, we are dealing with clinical applications of recent advances in our understanding of brain mechanisms and brain disease processes.
Clinical Advances In The Management Of Patients With Sever Head Injury, Thomas W. Langfitt
Clinical Advances In The Management Of Patients With Sever Head Injury, Thomas W. Langfitt
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Some of the physiological properties of the cerebral circulation, intracranial pressure and brain metabolism, as well as some of the pathophysiological alterations that we see with various types of brain injuries have been discussed in this series. We are going to see how we can apply some of this information clinically.
Continuous Intracranial Pressure Monitoring In Patients With Brain Injury: Technique And Application, John K. Vries
Continuous Intracranial Pressure Monitoring In Patients With Brain Injury: Technique And Application, John K. Vries
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Continuous ICP monitoring using the hollow screw technique has proven itself simple, safe, and reliable. The obvious advantage of continuous ICP monitoring is to provide early warning of developing mass lesions before clinical signs appear and to assess the effectiveness of therapy directed at brain edema. Its most important use, however, may be that it permits the use of depressant medications in these patients. Many of these patients have a marked tendency toward hyperthermia, severe hyperventilation, and erratic blood pressure swings. These tendencies can be most difficult to control with conventional treatment regimens. By sedating these patients, however, it is …
Practical Anticonvulasant Pharmacokinetics, R.B. David, L.K. Garrettson
Practical Anticonvulasant Pharmacokinetics, R.B. David, L.K. Garrettson
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Pharmacokinetics is that area of pharmacology concerned with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of drugs. The processes by which absorption, distribution, and elimination take place are referred to as unit processes. These occur independently and concurrently, and involve such activities as absorption into the blood, elimination from the blood, distribution between the blood and tissue, inactivation in tissues, and finally, elimination from the blood. Drug handling by the body can be characterized by the rate for each step or, more often, the rate of all processes. Classification of observed kinetics for these rate processes includes first-order, zero-order, and capacity-limited …
Radical Reconstruction Of Complex Cranio-Orbito-Facial Abnormalities, John A. Jane, Milton T. Edgerton
Radical Reconstruction Of Complex Cranio-Orbito-Facial Abnormalities, John A. Jane, Milton T. Edgerton
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Excellent cosmetic results can be obtained by early intervention in severe cranial-orbital-facial deformity. This intervention should take the form of a combined intracranial and extracranial approach. While the procedure is of great magnitude, the benefits to the patient and to the family seem worth the risk.

Surgical Care Of The Lower Extremity In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Roby C. Thompson
Surgical Care Of The Lower Extremity In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Roby C. Thompson
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
One of the most important things for the physician to recognize in referring a patient to the orthopedic surgeon for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is the goal of surgical correction. The primary goal in surgical treatment of diseased joints in the lower extremity is relief of pain. Some pain-free patients have such severe deformities that a surgical procedure may be undertaken in order to improve and restore function, accepting certain calculated risks; however, to improve function surgically in a pain-free joint requires complete and full understanding on the part of the patient as well as the physician.
Introduction, Robert Irby
Introduction, Robert Irby
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The 45th Annual McGuire Lecture Series has been devoted to the subject of Immunology and the Rheumatic Diseases. In this two-day period, 22 outstanding physicians in the field of immunology and rheumatology brought an up-to-date overall concept in the field of rheumatic diseases. Subjects included not only aspects of pathogenesis but also modern laboratory methods in the diagnosis of various connective tissues diseases. The remedial surgical approaches for prevention of pain and disability in rheumatoid arthritis were discussed from a practical viewpoint.
Recent Advances In Synovial Fluid Analysis, Duncan S. Owen Jr.
Recent Advances In Synovial Fluid Analysis, Duncan S. Owen Jr.
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Synovial fluid analysis is a frequently ignored examination except in suspected cases of septic conditions. It has been shown that it is an extremely valuable procedure in making rapid and accurate diagnoses in many types of joint diseases.
A Review Of Some Aspects Of L-Forms And Gonococci, Charles L. Cooke, Bernard Germain, Bonnie Balducci, Harry P. Dalton
A Review Of Some Aspects Of L-Forms And Gonococci, Charles L. Cooke, Bernard Germain, Bonnie Balducci, Harry P. Dalton
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Systemic manifestations of gonococcal disease, such as arthritis, are often sterile on the usual culture methods used to grow gonococci. Allergic mechanisms have been invoked to explain this but with little evidence to support the concept. With the report by Holmes et al., that L-forms of gonococci were isolated from joint fluid of a patient with gonococcal arthritis, we decided to investigate the possible role of L-forms in gonococcal disease.
Introduction, Donald P. Becker
Introduction, Donald P. Becker
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Recently, important strides have been made in clinical neurology and clinical neurosurgery, culminating in improved patient care. The last ten years have witnessed a new sophistication in neuroradiology, and the clear development of neuroophthalmology as a subspecialty. It is to these areas that the speakers at the 27th Stoneburner Lecture Series addressed themselves. The first part of the program emphasized cerebral vascular disease, and is presented in this issue. The second part of the program related primarily to the clinical care of patients with mechanical brain injury, brain tumors, and seizures, and will be presented in the following issue of …
Immune Complex Reactions In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, John Staige Davis Iv
Immune Complex Reactions In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, John Staige Davis Iv
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
We should first try to define systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Table 1 lists criteria proposed by a committee of the American Rheumatism Association. If four of these 14 major criteria are positive, then there should be about 98% specificity for SLE. There are clearly many facets to this disorder. Let us consider mechanisms that might account for a multisystem disease such as this.

It is the purpose of this presentation to quickly review some of the important points of the papers which were presented at the 45th Annual McGuire Lecture Series on the subject of immunology and rheumatic diseases.
Anklylosing Spondylitis, John Baum
Anklylosing Spondylitis, John Baum
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Within the last few years, the study of ankylosing spondylitis has produced some of the more remarkable new developments in the field of the rheumatic diseases. In modern days the disease has been described in Germany by Strümpell and in France by Marie. As a result, in Germany it is known as Strümpell's disease and in France as Marie's disease. Physicians in the United States and England, to be fair, call it Marie-Strümpell disease. It should be emphasized at this point that ankylosing spondylitis is not a variant of rheumatoid arthritis as it had been considered for a number of …
