Lymphangiography In Staging Carcinoma Of The Prostate. A Comparison With Operative Findings, Joseph C. Cerny, Malcolm Weckstein, Riad Farah

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Pedal lymphangiography was performed In 30 patients who subsequently underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy, and radical pelvic lymphadenectomy. In 24 of 30 patients, lymphangiograms correctly predicted the presence or absence of nodal Involvement. In spite of certain limitations of the technique. It is considered an essential diagnostic study in patients considered for possible radical prostatic surgery, or in patients who may be candidates for external megavoltage radiotherapy to the prostate gland and its lymphatic drainage.

Palliative Urinary Diversion In Adenocarcinoma Of The Prostate, R. C. Youngman, Joseph C. Cerny

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Ten patients with inoperable prostatic carcinoma, producing ureteral obstruction and azotemia, underwent palliative urinary diversion. Good quality survivals of two months to three years were obtained. These results compare favorably with the good results seer) In gynecologic neoplasm of the bladder, colon and breast. In selected cases of carcinoma of the prostate, palliative urinary diversion is indicated when the prospects exist for further benefit from chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy And Pelvic Lymphadenectomy In Carcinoma Of The Prostate, Riad N. Farah, Joseph C. Cerny

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

An operative technique Is described which combines regional pelvic lymphadenectomy with radical prostatectomy. The technique has been used on 30 patients with no operative mortality. Morbidity has been within acceptable limits. Thus far, only one patient has shown recurrence of the neoplasm.

Advances In The Radiation Therapy Of Carcinoma Of The Prostate, Joel Elliot White

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Basic principles of radiation biology and radiation tolerance are reviewed. The Implications for radiation therapy of newer staging techniques in carcinoma of the prostate such as exploratory laparotomy, lymphangiography, and bone marrow acid prosphatase are discussed. A technique for treating the prostate and para-aortic lymph nodes in continuity is presented. Complications and results of therapy are discussed.

Radionuclide Bone Imaging In The Evaluation Of Prostatic Cancer, Daniel S. Marks, William R. Eyler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Radionuclide bone imaging is a rapid, easily performed, noninvasive method for evaluation of skeletal disease in carcinoma of the prostate, or any other malignancy. In a significant number of cases, it may provide the only evidence of metastases and frequently demonstrates more widespread Involvement than previously suspected. Thus, it may redirect the chosen course of therapy or localize sources of bone pain that are not radiographically apparent. Sixty-two percent of 42 patients studied were abnormal, of which 12% had no radiographic evidence of disease.

Bone Marrow Acid Phosphatase In The Evaluation Of Patients With Carcinoma Of The Prostate, Ronald Kabler, Riad Farah, Kenneth Greenawald, Joseph C. Cerny

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Based on experience with 30 men having clinical stage A and B adenocarcinoma of the prostate, the authors conclude that elevation of bone marrow acid phosphatase (BMAP) is a sensitive indicator of the disease state. BMAP revealed periprostatic or nodal Involvement when osseous metastases seemed absent. BMAP is considered essential in the evaluation of all patients with prostatic carcinoma. Patients who have false negative BMAP (and are not candidates for radical prostatectomy), should undergo lymphangiography and bone scan before radiation therapy or hormonal treatment is planned.

Immunologic Assessment In Patients With Prostatic Carcinoma, Richard C. Klugo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The role of immune mechanisms in the development and control of prostatic carcinoma appears to be complicated by the endocrine response of some tumors. The progression of endocrine-independent tumors is more directly related to host-immune response. Evaluation of the role of chemotherapeutic agents must include their effect on the host-immune response. The use of BCC in patients with metastatic prostatic carcinoma produces no alteration in cell-mediated immunity but produces local tumor necrosis. The use of nonspecific antigens to enhance host-immune response may be more effective when used as adjuvant therapy in earlier stages of prostatic adenocarcinoma.

Hormonal And Chemotherapeutic Management Of Disseminated Carcinoma Of The Prostate, Robert W. Brownlee

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The management of disseminated prostatic carcinoma with hormonal and chemotherapeutic agents is discussed. Hormonal manipulation consists of ablative as well as additive modalities. A new agent, Adriamycin, has shown some effectiveness In selected cases. Significant difficulties are encountered in assessing the objective state of remission of patients undergoing therapy. Further advances through co-operative, randomized clinical trials must be sought. The development of additional chemotherapeutic agents will hopefully expand our horizons.

Changes In Serum Testosterone After Bilateral Orchiectomy In Patients With Metastatic Carcinoma Of The Prostate, Richard Senn, Riad Farah, Julius Ohorodnik, Joseph C. Cerny

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

From a study of 38 patients, it may be concluded that, first, changes in serum testosterone levels of patients undergoing orchiectomy for metastatic carcinoma of the prostate are unrelated to the clinical course of the patient; second, no clear correlation exists between quantitative Leydig cell counts and levels of plasma testosterone; and, third, exacerbation of metastatic disease is observed while plasma testosterone remains in the castrate range. These observations question the exact function of the Leydig cell and its role in androgen production, and indicate that prostatic neoplasms have varying degrees of response to reduced androgen levels and/or androgen-Iike substances …

The Uses Of Pins For Retention In Restorative Dentistry : An Independent Learning Program, Ali M. Asad

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Although pins have been used since the 1800's for retention of dental restorations, their widespread use had been limited because supporting techniques such as impression, die materials, better handpieces and drills have only been perfected in the last two decades.

The pin technique allows for greater retention of restorative materials which otherwise might require considerable reduction of sound tooth substance; this is particularly paramount when insufficient coronal tooth structure is present. Also, the placing of pins in divergent directions gives excellent retention. Pin-retained castings reduce the need for deep cavity preparation in some cases.

Pins are useful in stabilizing hypermobile …

Studies Of The Life History And Biology Of The Tropical Cattle Tick, Vichitr Sukhapesna, Preecha Klainin, Frank Pinkerton, Fred W. Knapp

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

From these studies it may be concluded that it is highly probable that there are at least two generations per year of the tropical cattle tick in Northeastern Thailand, depending upon the climatic conditions and availability of the host. In areas where hosts are numerous, it is possible that there are 4 or 5 generations per year. Because of the potential reproduction ability of the adult female tropical cattle tick, the durability of the unfed seed tick, and the inadequate control measures now available, increased cattle production in the Northeast could be seriously hampered. Studies will be continued on the …
