Intraocular Lens Implant Image Quality: The Optico-Retinal Interface, David D. Bogorad Dec 1985

Intraocular Lens Implant Image Quality: The Optico-Retinal Interface, David D. Bogorad

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Improvements in intraocular lens implants during the past ten years have revolutionized cataract surgery. Both anterior and posterior chamber lenses are currently in wide use, but the optical superiority of the posterior chamber location has yet to be demonstrated. To do so, a more detailed analysis is required of visual function than is clinically routine. Also required is appreciation that the retina is an integral part of the eye's optical system because of its directional characteristics, which are known as the Stiles-Crawford effect. The optical quality of the pseudophakic eye is affected by the optics of the implant, its centration, …

Immunocytologic Methods In The Diagnosis Of Orbital Tumors, David M. Reifler, Sudha R. Kini, John S. Kennerdell, Andrew Dekker, Leslie J. Fisher Dec 1985

Immunocytologic Methods In The Diagnosis Of Orbital Tumors, David M. Reifler, Sudha R. Kini, John S. Kennerdell, Andrew Dekker, Leslie J. Fisher

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The pathologic diagnosis was supported or confirmed in three out of four cases that had an adequate cytologic specimen. The results demonstrate that adjunctive immunocytologic techniques can be used in combination with fine-needle aspiration for a variety of orbital tumors.

Malnutrition And Length Of Stay - A Relationship?, Marvin D. Anderson, Gladys Collins, Gloria Davis, Brack A. Bivins Dec 1985

Malnutrition And Length Of Stay - A Relationship?, Marvin D. Anderson, Gladys Collins, Gloria Davis, Brack A. Bivins

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The admission nutrition status of 135 consecutive general medical patients admitted to a single nursing unit was evaluated using a simple questionnaire and available laboratory studies. A statistical analysis of the data obtained indicates that prolonged length of stay may be related to admission nutritional status.

Childhood Lead Poisoning, Raj P. Warrier, Jan Waisanen, Sam R. Kottamasu, Sayeed Sultana, K. Ratnakar Kini, William L. Kestenberg, John Strauthers, Craig Foreback

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Although lead encephalopathy is rare, lead intoxication continues to be a significant problem in Detroit. Neuropsychological effects may occur even at low levels of lead. Since treatment of lead poisoning consists of a painful series of injections, it is imperative that more attention be given to the prevention of this disease. To confirm the magnitude of the problems, our experience with lead poisoning during a three-year period at Henry Ford Hospital's Pediatric Department is reviewed.

Dermatomyositis Complicated By Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Maria A. Sawdyk, Jeffrey Jundt Dec 1985

Dermatomyositis Complicated By Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Maria A. Sawdyk, Jeffrey Jundt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A 65-year-old woman who had a documented history of dermatomyositis was hospitalized for evaluation of a syncopal attack. During the course of her stay, she experienced progressive neurologic dysfunction, hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. A clinical diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP) was made, and therapy was initiated with glucocorticoids, plasmapheresis, plasma infusion, and antiplatelet medication. The pathogenesis of TTP has not been cleady elucidated. However, reports in the literature have postulated immune damage of the endothelium with demonstration of IgM and complement deposits as the origin of the condition. Further, there are reported cases of TTP associated with collagen disorders …

Hereditary Sclerocornea, David Barsky, Steven P. Dunn Dec 1985

Hereditary Sclerocornea, David Barsky, Steven P. Dunn

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A rare case of total hereditary sclerocornea is presented along with clinical history, histopathology, and a review of the possible pathogenesis and current literature on the subject. It is quite possible that imperfect cleavage of the anterior chamber angle may be the predisposing factor in scleralization of the cornea due to a failure of neural crest cell differentiation. If surgical intervention to correct for the corneal opacification is indicated, corneal transplantation should be performed as soon as possible after birth, similar to the indications for removal of dense congenital cataracts to avoid deprivation amblyopia.

Predictors Of Depressive Symptoms And Unemployed Black Adults, Diane R. Brown, Lawrence E. Gary Dec 1985

Predictors Of Depressive Symptoms And Unemployed Black Adults, Diane R. Brown, Lawrence E. Gary

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Using data from a probability based survey of unemployed Black adults residing in an urban area, this study explores factors related to the presence of depressive symptoms. Findings indicate that depressive symptoms are less among unemployed persons with higher levels of income, education, religiosity, age and satisfactory social support. Age, however, is the single best predictor of depressive symptoms among unemployed Blacks. There were no significant differences by gender.

Issues In Assessing Community Resources For The Leisure-Time Needs Of The Elderly, Jordan I. Kosberg, Juanita L. Garcia Dec 1985

Issues In Assessing Community Resources For The Leisure-Time Needs Of The Elderly, Jordan I. Kosberg, Juanita L. Garcia

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The growth of leisure-time, following retirement, is potentially problematic for the elderly and can result in such adversities as depression, problem drinking, loneliness, and boredom. Leisure-time resources include recreation, education, volunteerism, training, voluntary associations, familialism, and solitary activities. The use of resources for leisure-time needs of the elderly are influenced by idiosyncratic differences; cultural background, financial resources, geographic variations; and the characteristics of programs and services. There is a need to better prepare individuals for the use of leisure-time. Each community must ensure that leisure-time resources exist and do not exclude any elderly from possible involvement, for either structural, programmatic, …

Orbital Metastasis With Enophthalmos: A Review Of The Literature, David M. Reifler Dec 1985

Orbital Metastasis With Enophthalmos: A Review Of The Literature, David M. Reifler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Orbital metastasis is associated with enophthalmos in up to one third of all cases. After analyzing the clinical and pathologic features In 25 reported cases of enophthalmic orbital metastasis, the condition was found to almost exclusively affect females, usually in the 60 to 70 age group. The right orbit was the most commonly affected. The primary lesion was located in the breast in 19 (76%) cases and in the abdomen in 6 (24%) cases. In one third of the cases, the manifestations of the orbital metastasis were recognized before diagnosing the primary lesion. The most common presenting features were diplopia …

The Pseudo-Leukocyte-Specific/Nuclear Membrane Antinuclear Antibody Pattern: A Puzzle, Thomas K. Burnham Dec 1985

The Pseudo-Leukocyte-Specific/Nuclear Membrane Antinuclear Antibody Pattern: A Puzzle, Thomas K. Burnham

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We report an antinuclear antibody (ANA) pattern—the pseudo-leukocyte-specific/nuclear membrane (PLS/NM) ANA pattern—that is puzzling because it usually reacts with only a few cells on human spleen imprints but with most epidermal and numerous dermal nuclei of normal human skin sections. The designation "pseudo-leukocyte-specific" was chosen because it is generally seen in only a few nuclei on human spleen imprints, thereby resembling the true leukocyte-specific ANA pattern. A few small round nuclei fluoresce homogeneously, surrounded by a bright wall, suggesting nuclear membrane (NM) fluorescence. The term "nuclear membrane" was added to the name because the NM appearance is even more prominent …

Evaluation Of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome In A Family, Kayhan Ozkan Dec 1985

Evaluation Of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome In A Family, Kayhan Ozkan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Five cases of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in one family have been studied, and a review of the history and features of the syndrome are presented. This syndrome was detected in four of six siblings and in the father. Three family members underwent surgery after small-bowel obstruction was diagnosed. A gastric polyp was removed from a fourth family member. Rectal bleeding dominated the clinical picture in two patients. Colonic polyps were also found in the three patients who had small-bowel polyps. One of the four affected siblings had mucocutaneous pigmentation, but no evidence of intestinal polyps was detected. The five affected family …
