Pseudomonas Arthritis And Osteomyelitis In Heroin Addiction: Report Of Three Cases, Paul M. Ross, Robert C. Nestor, Kent K. Wu

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Pseudomonas-caused sternoclavicular arthritis and osteomyelitis has received little attention in the medical literature. The authors present three cases including one case of bilateral sternoclavicular joint involvement. Prompt recognition, operative debridement, and institution of adequate chemotherapy result in dramatic clinical response.

Left Atrial Myxoma With An Atrial Septal Defect: Report Of A Case, Daniel T. Anbe, Edward Arciniegas, Henry Green, Ellet H. Drake

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A case of a left atrial myxoma presented unusual features including (1) association with an atrial septal defect, (2) attachment of the myxoma to the posterior wall of the left atrium, (3) probable paradoxical pulmonary embolization from the left atrium, and (4) probable ball valve effect of the myxoma in the atrial septal defect.

Treatment Of The Hyperventilation Syndrome, Hans Von Brauchitsch

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A review oi the literature on the hyperventilation syndrome reveals a variety of treatment approaches and a virtual absence of controlled studies of this common problem. Attempts to treat the condition by changing the respiratory pattern through mechanical means can be traced back to the first century A.D. The "paper bag method" of treatment has many psychological drawbacks and is often unsuccessful. Several avenues of drug treatment have been explored: acidifiers, minor tranquilizers, antidepressants, and stimulants. Reports of success with insight-oriented intensive psychotherapy are scarce. Some forms of group psychotherapy have been tried with success. The model of the "medical …

Villous Adenoma Of The Appendix: A Case Report, R. P. Pai, C. Grodsinsky

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Methadone And Its Rationale In The Treatment Of Narcotic Dependency, Walter J. Cassidy

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

An effective methadone maintenance program must do more than dispense measured doses in a well-organized clinic. It should attempt to effect changes in the patient's personality and coping mechanisms, social situation, and other conditioning factors which maintain his involvement in narcotics.

A Study Of Naturally Occurring Algicides Produced By Freshwater Algae, Denny O. Harris, Harry D. Caldwell

KWRRI Research Reports

The mode of action of the algicide produced by Pandorina morum was examined by exposing Volvox globator and isolates spinach chloroplasts to a partially purified algicide preparation. Oxygen evolution of Volvox, whole chloroplasts and broken chloroplasts (minus the Calvin cycle),was reduced indicating that the algicide inhibits the light reactions of photosynthesis. Oxygen evolution studies of other Volvocaceae confirmed the observation that Pandorina morum is not significantly influenced by its own inhibitor. Molecular weight approximation by gel filtration established that the inhibitor has a low molecular weight (probably below 100 mw). Field studies indicate that this algicide has tremendous potential as …

Effect Of Age On Hemodynamic And Metabolic Response To Static Exercise, Daniel J. Mcdermott, William J. Stekiel, Joseph J. Barboriak, Luther C. Kloth, James J. Smith

Physical Therapy Faculty Research and Publications

Static muscle exercise tests consisting of one-third maximum voluntary contraction of the forearm for 5 min was carried out in a group of older (mean age 46.8 yr) and younger men (mean age 25.3 yr). The mean hemodynamic changes in the two groups were quite comparable with increases in heart rate (31.3 and 38.4 beats/min), systolic pressure (74.3 and 63.2 mmHg), and diastolic pressure (58.1 and 47.3 mmHg) in older and younger groups, respectively. There was a prompt postexercise increase in mean total plasma catecholamine level in older males with a rapid decline over the next 15 min; the increase …

Models For Estimating Psychiatric Bed Needs, Patricia A. Brenneman

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Inland Counties Comprehensive Health Planning Council wished to estimate the psychiatric bed needs by type (such as state hospitals, board and care homes, etc.) in San Bernardino County from the distributions of patient arrivals and of lengths of stay. A statistical description of the system during 1973 was considered the first step toward estimating future bed needs. A computer simulation model using IBM's programming language General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) was developed and was found to be unsatisfactory.

Theorems were then developed for a statistical model, seeking to predict future bed needs. The most convenient of these theorems states that …

The Relationship Of Alcohol Consumption In Rats To Morphine And Codeine Intake And The Metabolism Of Dopamine, Hsiu Fen Liu

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The effects of morphine and codeine free-choice alcohol consumption in male Sprague-Dawley rats were studied. Intakes of a 10% alcohol solution in milliliters per 100 gm. of body weight were on recorded weekly. No difference was found in the alcohol intake of rats given either a morphine-supplemented diet (0.01% of the diet) or daily injection of morphine sulfate (2 mg./kg.); however, there was a significant lower intake of water (p < .05) in those rats fed the diet with morphine. Total fluid consumption of both groups given the morphine-supplemented diet and daily injection of morphine sulfate was decreased (p < .05). It was found that morphine did not affect the percentage of total fluid consumed as alcohol or the weight gain.

Two levels of codeine phosphate (10 mg./kg. and 20 mg./kg.) were injected subcutaneously into rats twice a day. It was observed that the codeine significantly decreased alcohol intake in rats …

Transforming The Orientation Of A Health Organization Through Community Involvement, Sharon Pastor Simson, Laura J. Bleiweiss

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Health organizations have been oriented to meeting needs and fulfilling demands which are perceived and defined by physician providers (Freidson, 1970 Stevens, 1971). Organizational goals, services, structures, and processes of operation were formulated in accordance with the interests, values, and concerns of provider-members. Latent to this provider orientation was the assumption that professional members were the ones most qualified to determine what was best for the organization and for its consumers (Freidson 1971). In recent times, however, numerous social changes have occurred on a societal level and within the institution of medicine (Hepner, 1972; Somers, 1971; Rosengren and Lefton, 1969). …
