A Control Programme For Cheesy Gland In Sheep, M R. Gardiner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

CASEOUS LYMPHADENITIS, or "cheesy gland" as it is usually known in Australia, is a common disease of sheep which is very important in the economics of the lamb and mutton industry.

Solar Retinopathy Following The Eclipse Of March 7, 1970, Walter J. Geeraets, Thomas W. Nooney, Joseph R. Svoboda, Florencia C. Ching

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A case of unilateral retinal burn injury of the fovea and two cases of binocular injuries have been reported, in connection with the viewing of the eclipse of March 7, 1970. Some calculations of energy densities involved have also been presented.

Rheumatoid Arthritis And Malignancy, Duncan S. Owen Jr., Marion Waller, Elam C. Toone Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A retrospective study of the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic malignancy was performed using the records of 196 older age patients with classic or definite rheumatoid arthritis. The results were compared to 125 patients in the same age group who had arthritis of a non-rheumatoid type. There was no difference in the incidence of malignancy in the two groups of patients. However, there was a positive correlation between the incidence of malignancy and the use of long term adrenocorticosteroid therapy.

The Effect Of Ruby Laser, Xenon-Light Coagulator And Diathermy On Vitreous Proteins, Ira R. Lederman, Edward R. Berry, Walter J. Geeraets

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Vitreous haze produced by excessive energy delivered during clinical photocoagulation has been reported. The introduction of the ruby laser and the continued use of diathermy to produce therapeutic lesions lead to a comparison of the three modalities in respect to their possible effect on the proteins of the vitreous for an acceptable clinical retinal lesion.

New Concepts In The Management Of Neonatal Jaundice: Use Of Enzyme Induction And Phototherapy, Harold M. Maurer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

All the observations suggest that phenobarbital and light may be of therapeutic value in controlling neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. In pregnancies in which one might anticipate increased bilirubin formation by the newborn baby, the use of phenobarbital during pregnancy and in the neonatal period, and exposure of the infant to light may provide methods other than exchange transfusion to reduce the concentration of serum bilirubin in the infant. Clinical trials should proceed cautiously, however, since phenobarbital is known to stimulate the activity of liver microsomal enzymes that metabolize, steroids, hormones, and other normal body substrates. It is not known whether this effect …

Immune Suppression In Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia, John H. Moon

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The acquired auto-immune hemolytic anemias represent a diversity of disease states in which the most constant immunologic finding is a positive direct anti-human globulin test (van Loghem, 1965; Swisher et al, 1965). This is true of the symptomatic variety of acquired hemolytic anemia as well as the idiopathic form. The positive Coomb's test has been seen in association with primary atypical pneumonias, occasionally in favism, in some bacterial and drug induced hemolytic anemias, in patients with malignancies of the lymphoid tissues, and in collagen-vascular disorders--chiefly SLE.

Multiphasic Health Screening, Robert W. Jessee

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Although scientifically unproven, general empirical agreement supports the notion that the early detection of disease is beneficial in the control of the disease process. The aim is to discover and cure conditions which have already produced cellular or biochemical change but which have not so far reached a stage associated with symptoms for which medical aid is sought spontaneously (Wilson and Jungner, 1968). The various methods of early disease detection have evolved along with contemporary philosophical and technological developments.

Current Trends And Issues In Emergency Medical Care, Gabriel Hilkovitz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In the last 20 years, we have witnessed the growing importance of emergency rooms in community health care, particularly in large metropolitan areas. Almost imperceptibly at first, and then with incredible momentum, public demand for urgent and emergency medical services expanded with population growth and disappearance, maldistribution or unavailability of family physicians.

Pre-Hospital Management Of Acute Myocardial Infarction, Charles L. Baird Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries is recognized today as a major health problem in the United States, since 600,000 deaths are attributed to it annually (Vital Statistics 1966). The medical profession and the general public are well aware of the important studies of its pathogenesis and prevention. However, the profession has been so preoccupied with these phases of investigation that the mechanism of death and possible modes of correction have remained obscured until recently.

British Medical Practice - Some Recent Innovations, Maurice Wood

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This presentation might be better labelled "A worm's eye view of the National Health Service" (NHS) as it covers of necessity only a limited spectrum of that program. General practice as a discipline is infinitely variable in its application; and factors of geography, practical size, social classifications of population, and employment patterns can produce enormous differences in the details of practice organization.

Elective Mutism In Childhood, Gilbert Silverman, Douglas F. Powers

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Five cases of elective mutism seen in the Treatment Center over the past eight years have been reported. Fairly strict diagnostic criteria have been laid down and a comparison of the cases in the literature has been done.

Variations On The Theme Of Depression, Ann Stewart

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Freud in 1917 published his classic paper on mourning and melancholia describing the essential features of melancholia (depression) as "profoundly painful dejection, cessation of interest in the outside world, loss of the capacity to love, inhibition of all activity and a lowering of the self-regarding feelings to a degree that culminate in a delusional expectation of punishment." Much has developed in the knowledge of depression since 1917, but even more has become known about the development of personality and its various stages as well as the psychic structures involved.

The Effects Of Hypothermia In Pregnant Rats: A Preliminary Report, Roger A. Glover Jr., Chan H. Park, Fred T. Given Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

We have evaluated the effects of varying degrees and durations of hypothermia, combined with anesthesia, on pregnant rats of the Sherin Wistar Strain. Moderate (surgical) and intermediate hypothermia, with ether anesthesia, were safe for both fetus and mother. With pentobarbital anesthesia, however, there were harmful effects, depending on the depth and duration of hypothermia; moderate hypothermia increased fetal and maternal mortality. The combination of CO₂ narcosis and deep hypothermia induced no ill effects.

Solar Retinopathy Following The Eclipse Of March 7, 1970: A Follow-Up, Walter J. Geeraets

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In the last issue of this journal (Medical College of Virginia Quarterly 6: 3, 1970) Thomas W. Nooney, Joseph R. Svoboda, Florencio Ching and I reported two cases of binocular injury and one case of unilateral retinal burn of the fovea caused by watching the recent solar eclipse in the Richmond, Virginia area. Since reporting our local cases, a survey has been completed through other Virginia ophthalmologists of the occurrence of solar retinopathy throughout the state. Nine additional cases of ocular involvement were revealed in the survey and are reported here in table form. The cases are listed in order …

A New Climate, Alan Pifer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

One of the more striking changes taking place in American medicine these days is the increasing disposition of laymen to sound off about it in public. Whether this is also one of the more important changes, you will have the opportunity to judge by the conclusion of this morning's program. Certainly no one could say that the AAMC, in planning this year's annual meeting, tried to shield itself from exposure to this kind of change.

Health Services In Australia, D. J. R. Snow

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The establishment of the Federal Health Service stemmed from the need to exclude dangerous infectious diseases from Australia. Disease such as smallpox and plague were constant threats to a country newly settled by Europeans with maritime ties, and cholera was endemic in neighboring countries. There were also the less immediate but acknowledged risks of the introduction into Australia of yellow fever and louse typhus. In other words, the earliest Federal Health Service was essentially a quarantine service -established on the basis of meticulous maritime quarantine and supported by a specially trained staff of quarantine medical officers with a chain of …

Special Characteristics Of Adopted Children And Adoptive Parents As Seen In A Psychiatric Practice, Lillian C. Lindemann, Virginia A. Saunders

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

We have presented these characteristics of 22 adopted children and 20 sets of adoptive parents viewed as special by a team of child psychiatrists and a psychiatric social worker in a private setting. Material derived from psychological test protocols was included in the study. No attempt has been made to statistically validate the findings and the presentation has been descriptive. The reality of an abandonment experience would appear to be a major element in the anxiety experienced by the adopted child. This source of anxiety is the one element that distinguishes the emotionally disturbed adopted child from the emotionally disturbed …

Problems In Rating Disturbed Behavior, Harold C. Batchelder, Benjamin C. Hammett

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This past year Dr. Hammett and I have embarked on a research voyage and, if I may be permitted to use the analogy of a cruise once again, we have been on the slowest of freighters. The Ancient Mariner is our spiritual brother. In speaking of the problems of research, one of the problems is time! There are no short-cuts. There has been, for some time, an increasing awareness of the need to look at the causes as well as methods of treating emotional disturbance in children. Because of the addition of new staff members we have been able to …

The Development Of A Comprehensive Health Care Program For Patients With Active Tuberculosis, Grace G. Eddison, Barbara M. Farmer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Concepts basic to effective medical care evolved from the development of a comprehensive health service program for patients with tuberculosis. The key to success was found in a basic philosophy underlying all interpersonal relationships-the conviction that all men are equal. This philosophy then became the motivating force behind the creation of a functioning multidisciplinary team in which there was developed a freedom of relationships between each team member, and between team members and patients. The effectiveness of this approach in comprehensive medical care was illustrated by examples of special services and programming which were designed to reach all levels of …

Severe School Phobia, Douglas F. Powers, Hugh Mcmahan, Carol Mcnally Owens

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This presentation has emphasized that the under-lying conflict in school phobias begins as bilateral separation anxiety between mother and young child. This unhealthy symbiotic relationship, occurring during the time that the child is trying to develop his own autonomy, cripples his ability to cope with the separation anxiety when he goes to school, or in the face of certain life events such as a move, illness, or birth of a sibling which revive this early anxiety. The response is a disturbed pattern of school attendance which may range from mild to severe and acute to chronic. These basic conflicts represent …
