Attraction Increases And Decreases As A Function Of Emotion-Attribution And Appropriate Social Cues, Richard A. Dienstbier

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

To study the impact of startle-induced arousal on attraction, blindfolded subjects in a “vestibular function” study were startled by a loud noise accompanying the sudden backward tilt of the dental chair in which they were seated. In Study I startled male subjects indicated (on a “postexperimental” questionnaire) greater attraction toward a pretty female experimenter than did control subjects. Study II demonstrated the reverse, with startled male subjects disliking a male experimenter more than controls. In Study III, female subjects startled by a male experimenter indicated greater attraction than controls, although the pattern of their responses differed from males. While an …

The Effects Of Three Stress Modes On Error Productions Of Children With Developmental Apraxia Of Speech, Alan R. Horowitz

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of three modes of stress on error productions of children with developmental apraxia of speech during a sentence repetition task. The study was designed to answer the question: Will there be a significant difference in the number of errors for each mode when: a) training to distinguish among the stress modes is not provided? b) training to distinguish among the stress modes is provided?

The Management Of Iatrogenic Chylous Ascites, Joseph W. Lewis, Edward H. Storer

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Iatrogenic chylous ascites, although extremely rare, appears to follow direct lymphatic injury during intra-abdominal surgery or to be due to specific postoperative complications such as pancreatitis. Statistically, truncal vagotomy has produced the largest number of cases. Any noticeable lymphatic injuries at the time of surgery should be controlled with appropriate sutures or clips. If iatrogenic chylous ascites develops postoperatively, a course of conservative treatment including multiple paracenteses should be tried for several weeks if reasonable nutritional balance can be maintained. If fluid volume does not diminish or the patient's nutritional status is jeopardized, early exploration should be undertaken. A lipophilic …

Percutaneous Transfemoral Renal Artery Occlusion In The Management Of Advanced Renal Carcinoma, Douglas E. Johnson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This report describes renal artery occlusion as a therapeutic alternative to nephrectomy and chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic renal carcinoma. Using a combination of Gelfoam and the Gianturco stainless steel coil, embolization was performed on 75 patients at the University of Texas System Cancer Center, M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute with promising results. Its use is recommended 1) to facilitate surgical removal of large and difficult tumors, 2) to control local symptoms (pain, bleeding, etc), and 3) as part of a planned therapeutic program consisting of infarction, nephrectomy and progestins for patients with minimal to moderate metastatic disease.

Surgical Treatment For Renal Cell Carcinoma, Robert Di Loreto, Joseph C. Cerny

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Despite recent advances in chemotherapy, radiation therapy and immunology, renal cell carcinoma can best be treated by early detection and radical surgery. Today, radical nephrectomy is the standard surgery of choice for removing malignant renal tumors. Of the surgical procedures that have been used in the past, the transabdominal incision offers the best exposure of retroperitoneal structures at the diaphragmatic level and the contralateral renal vasculature. Occasionally, supraradical procedures are recommended if tumor size and location require this approach.

Management Of Renal Cell Carcinoma: Evaluation Of Renal Masses By Modem Radiological Techniques, W. R. Eyler, M. A. Sandler, S. C. Cross, B. L. Madrazo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The utilty of ultrasound and computed tomography is compared to angiography and that of nephrotomography in the study of renal masses. Ultrasound and computed tomography, noninvasive methods, are replacing nephrotomography and, in some cases, angiography

The Role Of Radiation Therapy In Renal Carcinoma, Joel Elliot White

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In the treatment of renal adenocarcinoma, radiation therapy alone is insufficient. Preoperative radiation increases the resectability rate and delays metastasis, but overall improvement in survival is tentative. Postoperative radiation has not been of proven benefit. While palliation may be achieved, relatively high doses of radiation are required.

Diagnostic And Therapeutic Immunology Of Renal Cell Cancer, Richard C. Klugo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

There is evidence that renal cell carcinoma can alter the host immunologic system in several modalities. Diagnostic immunologic monitoring techniques reviewed in this report include delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction (DCHR), absolute peripheral lymphocyte count (APLC), lymphocyte mitogen response (LMR), T-lymphocyte population (erythrocyte rosette), microcytotoxicity assay, in vitro monocyte chemotaxis, and serum blocking factors. Therapeutic immunologic modalities include xenogeneic immune ribonucleic acid (RNA), intradermal BCG, preoperative transcatheter renal artery embolization, immune plasma transfusion, transfer factor, and polymerized autologous tumor.

Chemotherapy Of Metastatic Renal Adenocarcinoma With A Five- Drug Regimen*, Robert W. Talley, N. A. Oberhauser, Robert W. Brownlee, Robert M. O'Bryan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In the past, chemotherapy of renal adenocarcinoma has been relatively unsuccessful. The progestational agent, medroxy progesterone acetate (MPA), has been the most effective single agent, even though the response rate probably does not exceed 12%. This report describes the results of a program of combination therapy with MPA, cyclophosphamide, hydroxyurea, vinblastine and prednisone that was used on 42 patients, ten of whom had received prior MPA therapy. One complete remission and seven partial remissions were observed, oniyone of whom had received prior MPA therapy. Treatment of metastatic renal adenocarcinoma with combination chemotherapy should probably include MPA and adriamycin. The role …

Evaluation Of A Simplified Measurement For Low Glomerular Filtration Rates With Lndium-111 Dtpa, L. E. Preuss, R. S. Michaels, F. P. Bolin, N. W. Levin, C. Artman

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A rapid new method for measuring glomerular filtration rates using 111In diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (111In- DTPA) was evaluated with 39 patients who showed marked impairment of renal function (creatinine clearance less than 20 ml/min). A simple, single compartment system was assumed. For comparison, parallel inulin and creatinine clearances were performed. High linear correlations (r = 0.96-0.97) were demonstrated when 111In- DTPA clearances were compared with the standard nonisotopic tests. Initial data indicate that reliable isotopic clearance values could be obtained for low clearances by withdrawing only two blood samples for assay at 6 and 48 hours after isotope injection (without …

Isolation Of An Acid-Fast Organism From The Aqueous Humor In A Case Of Sarcoidosis, C. L. Barth, M. S. Judge, L. H. Mattman, P. C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The anterior chamber fluid from the eye of this patient with sarcoidosis was found to contain microcolonies of a cellwall-deficient organism that was propagated and identified as acid-fast by the Intensified Acid-Fast stain. The colonies were inoculated into mice and retrieved from the dead or sacrificed animals. This report suggests that the acid-fast microbe in the aqueous humor of this case of uveitis-sarcoidosis may be the same organism as that found in the blood in sarcoidosis. Thus, it may be associated not only with the primary disease, but also with the complications of Boeck's sarcoidosis.

Portal Hypertension In Children: Three Case Reports And Review Of Recent Progress In Treatment, Philip J. Howard

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The diagnosis and surgical management of extrahepatic portal hypertension in infants and children have improved dramatically in the last 50 years, as evidenced by the reported mortalities of 46% in 1928-1935 and only 12% in 1974. The diagnosis Is often evident from the first sudden gastrointestinal bleeding Incident and can be verified quickly with fiberoptic esophagoscopy and x-rays. The surgeon has a choice of multiple shunt procedures to control portal pressure.

Bulletin 3967 - Cyanogenetic Plants Of Western Australia, T E H Aplin

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

This article deals with those native, naturalized and cultivated plants, which by virtue of contained cyanogenetic glycosides, are known to be poisonous or potentially poisonous to livestock in Western Australia.

Cyanogenetic glycosides are chemical compounds which contain a cyanogen (cyanide) radical combined with a sugar molecule. The sugar moiety may differ in glycosides obtained from different plants, and as a consequence glycosides from different plants, containing different sugar moieties, may be given different names.

When a cyanogenetic glycoside is broken down by enzyme action, through injury to the plant or by microbial action in the digestive system of the animal, …

Lay Counseling: The Basis Of Prevention In Mental Health, James R. Seaberg

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The purpose of this paper is to increase the recognition of lay counseling as a basis of mental health prevention and to present a summary of the state of knowledge about it. Lay counseling is cast as one of several components of mental health prevention and treatment, a definition is offered which distinguishes it from paraprofessional and selp-help services, knowledge about it both direct and tangential is summarized, and future research and policy implications are discussed.

The Effect Of Escherichia Coli Endotoxin On The Cat Periapical Tissues, Thomas G. Dwyer

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The periapical tissue reaction to three concentrations of endotoxin solutions and to a sterile saline control solution was examined in six adult cats. The maxillary and mandibular cuspids were isolated and the pulps extirpated with barbed broaches. The four solutions (1, 10, 100 μg/ml endotoxin, and saline) were then injected into the four prepared teeth for each cat and the access cavities sealed with IRM.

At two week intervals, two cats were sacrificed and the specimens removed, while the remaining animals were retreated as previously described. The block tissue sections were radiographed, fixed in 10% buffered formalin, and prepared for …

Treatment Of Persistent Open-Bite Malocclusions With Interarch Elastic Fixation, Kent L. Phillips

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the facial complex after treatment of persistent anterior open-bites with Dr. R. M. Ricketts' "squeeze treatment." This treatment method requires heavy elastic fixation for one month in conjunction with placement of T-loop arches.

Twelve open-bite patients were selected for the study. Quantative[sic] measurements from lateral cephalometric and laminagraphs of the temporomandibular joint were also evaluated. Qualitative observations were obtained from the periapical radiographs, models, and photos.

Tooth extrusion occurred in varying amounts followed by alveolar crest and apical repair.

Statistical significance was shown in the correction of incisor overbite, …

A Comparative Analysis Of Intrusion Of Incisor Teeth Achieved In Adults And Children According To Facial Type, Ronald L. Otto

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A comparison of incisor intrusion achieved in deep bite adults and children was made. Facial type was also examined for affect upon intrusion achieved. Fifty-five cases treated with Bioprogressive mechanics were studied cephalometrically, including twenty-four adults and thirty-one children. Neither age nor facial type was found to be statistically related to the amount of incisor intrusion achieved in this sample. A method of measuring intrusion at the root apices was devised which was felt to give a more accurate indication of actual bodily intrusion. More external root changes during treatment were observed for adults than for growing children. Wide latitude …
