Immunologic Competence In Idiopathic Ulcerative Colitis (Humoral Aspects Of Immunity), Gerald A. Logrippo, Klaus Anselm, Hajime Hayashi, Robert J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Systemic immune status was studied in 86 idiopathic ulcerative colitis patients. Quantitation of the major serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) and qualitation for specific enteropathogens (bacterial and viral) associated with the immunoglobulins are correlated with the severity and duration of the disease. The studies demonstrate the immunologic competence of these patients to respond to a variety of infections with normal activity and hyperactivity. In addition, systemic complications associated with ulcerative colitis, particularly liver involvement, are reflected in the immunologic studies.

Dose-Response Relationship Of Bile Flow To Cholecystokinin Stimulation As Measured By Duodenal Drainage, Robert J. Priest, Roberto F. Gluckmann, J. Edward Berk, Joseph A. Rinaldo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A study was done to evaluate the dose-response of cholecystokinin administered intravenously to normal patients and to patients with diseased gallbladders. The volumes of bile and bilirubin units were measured in duodenal aspirates. A dosage of cholecystokinin between 12.5 and 25 Ivy dog units differentiated the several categories studied. Lower doses of cholecystokinin resulted in no change in the volume of bile, but significantly reduced the output of bilirubin units.

The Prevention Of Recurrent Peritoneal Adhesions: A Clinical And Laboratory Investigation, T. A. Cromwell, Joseph L. Ponka

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study documented the fact that recurrent episodes of small bowel obstruction were not uncommon (38%) in a review of 120 patients who underwent lysis of adhesions or lysis of adhesions and Noble Plication. A laboratory experiment using dogs was constructed to compare dextran to a combined promethazine-dexamethasone regimen for the prevention of adhesion formation in the immediate post-operative period. Dextran was completely ineffective in preventing adhesion reformation. Meticulous surgical technique remains the single most important factor in adhesion prevention.

Mycosis Fungoides With Thrombotic Microangiopathy And Major Central Nervous System Manifestations, T. A. Chapel, S. M. Saeed, B. W. Steinhauer

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A case of mycosis fungoides is presented which terminated in death by an acute central nervous system illness. Autopsy revealed thrombotic microangiopathy. This is felt to be the first report of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura occurring in a patient with mycosis fungoides. Since thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura has been reported in association with other malignancies, the association of these relatively rare disorders may represent more than a coincidence.

Renal Cell Carcinoma Masquerading As A Pancreatic Pseudocyst: A Case Report, Stuart J. Kingma, Hubert M. Allen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A case is reported in which an abdominal mass was treated initially as a traumatic pseudocyst of the pancreas. Subsequent studies elucidated the true nature of the lesion, a renal cell carcinoma. The use of visceral arteriography as a definitive diagnostic tool is illustrated by this case.

Immunoglobulin Levels In Spinal Fluid And Saliva By Direct Immunochemical Assay And Microscopic Measurements, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunochemical procedure used in this hospital for serum immunoglobulins (Igs) has been modified to increase sensitivity (5-to-20-fold) so that minute quantities of immunoglobulins can now be measured directly in unconcentrated body fluids. Normal spinal fluid Ig levels (±2 S.D. from normal means) were found to be: 0.01-0.21 mg/100 ml for IgA; 0.5-2.50 mg/100 for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Normal (pooled) salivary Ig levels were found to be 0.01-2.25 mg/100 ml for IgA: trace quandties to 1.85 mg/100 ml for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Spinal fluid and salivary Igs were assayed in 227 adults …

The Effect Of Phenobarbital On Serum Bilirubin Of Full Term Infants: A Controlled Study, Mary J. Kokosky, Harold A. Falconer, Lester Weiss

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Three bundled twenty-eight infants weighing more than 2500 grams were studied for the effect of low dose phenobarbital (15 mg/day) upon third and fifth day serum bilirubin levels. The groups were divided according to sex, race and type of treatment. Controls were made for the possible effect of the 14% ethanol contained in phenobarbital elixir. It was found that males had higher mean serum bilirubin levels than females, Caucasians had higher mean serum bilirubin levels than Negroes, and control infants had higher serum bilirubin values than those infants treated with phenobarbital. However, in those patients who had lower serum bilirubin …

Population Review 1970: Kenya, Norman Miller

Dartmouth Scholarship

The Republic of Kenya, located astride the equator on the Indian Ocean, enjoys the distinction of being the first tropical African nation to initiate a serious government program in population analysis and family planning. Ghana, Botswana, and the Reunion Islands off the African coast recently followed suit and have positive programs underway. By contrast, most other African states remain apathetic toward their own population problems, and a few are vigorously pronatal. Perhaps the most extreme example is Kenya's island neighbor, Zanzibar, which reportedly has introduced the death penalty for illegal abortions, and banned the sale of all contraceptives.

A Comparative Study Of The Head And Thoracic Osteology And Myology Of The Skinks Eumeces Gilberti Van Denburgh And Eumeces Skiltonianus (Baird And Girard), David F. Nash, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The differences observed from the osteology and myology are few and subtle.

Neither species is consistent in having all of the anatomical characters equal. E. skiltonianus, however, is more variable than gilberti. This species: 1. exhibits a wider range of variation in the number of slips of the intermandibularis anterior; 2. has two distinct bundles of the depressor mandibularis; and 3. has variation in the anterior suture pattern of the frontal, nasal, prefrontal and maxilla elements. E. gilberti on the other hand has: 1. only one distinct bundle of the depressor mandibularis; 2. a frequent reduction of the relative size …

A Comparison Of Ecs And Drug Induced State-Dependent Learning, Mayse F. John

All Master's Theses

The purpose of the present experiment is twofold: (a) to determine if FS and ECS or just ECS can be used as an agent to produce "dissociated" learning in a multi-trial procedure, and (b) if shown, to determine the effectiveness of these agents relative to three different dosages of sodium pentobarbital preselected to produce no, moderate, and complete dissociation.

The Parenchymal Cells Of The Rat Pineal Gland, E Tapp, M Blumfield

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare hematologic disorder with improved survival due to advancements in treatment. However, long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality remain significant. Established cardiovascular risk calculators, such as the 2008 Framingham Heart Study (FHS) global cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) risk estimators, may not adequately account for the elevated and unique cardiovascular risks in iTTP survivors.

Objectives: To evaluate the discrimination and calibration of the ACC/AHA ASCVD and FHS global CVD models in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) among iTTP survivors.

Methods: This retrospective …
