Accidental Hypothermia In Medico-Legal Practice, Keith A. Mant

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The autopsy findings in 28 cases of fatal hypothermia have been described. Hypothermia, in temperate climates, is one of the complications of longevity. The hypothermic state may be precipitated by a wide range of natural diseases, especially chronic cardiac disease. The classical case of hypothermia may be recognized at post-mortem by the myxoedematous appearance of the patient and the presence of gastric and pancreatic lesions.

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency, Daniel N. Mohler

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Major attention was first focused on the problem of acute hemolytic anemia in the early 1950's, during the Korean War. Large numbers of American Negroes stationed in Korea developed this anemia after taking primaquine for treatment or prophylaxis of malaria. A study group was formed in Chicago under the direction of Alving; it was this group of investigators who contributed much of the early information which has led to our understanding of this type of anemia (Dern, et al, 1954; Dern, Beutler and Alving, 1954; Beutler, Dern, and Alving, 1954). This also resulted in an upsurge of interest in red …

New Thoughts On Hereditary Spherocytosis, Robert I. Weed

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In addition to its accentuated pattern of rigidity at decreasing ATP/Ca ratios, the hereditary spherocyte poses a special challenge within the splenic pulp because of its shape. In addition to the geometric requirement for deformability, the spleen also poses a challenge to HS cells because of its pH, and probably also the pO₂ within the splenic pulp. Thus, it is suggested that splenectomy is essentially curative in hereditary spherocytosis because it removes an organ with unique anatomic requirements for red cell passage as well as an adverse environment of lower pH and pO₂.

Penicillin Allergy And Hypersensitivity Fever, Michael Joseph Chusid

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

[From the Summary] Rabbits immunized to benzylpenicillin G were found to develop circulating anti-benzylpenicillin antibodies. After immunization, challenge of these animals with intravenous aqueous penicillin was ineffective in eliciting fever. However, intravenous challenge with a penicillin-rabbit serum protein conjugate led to typical hypersensitivity fevers which were roughly correlated in magnitude with titers of benzylpenicillin antibody. Febrile tolerance developed after one or two challenges with the conjugate. This form of hypersensitivity appeared to be transferable with plasma of immunized donors to normal rabbits. Finally, blood leukocytes of immunized rabbits incubated with penicillin-protected conjugate and hypersensitive serum released pyrogen in vitro while …

Metabolic Acidosis And Respiratory Compensation In Uremia During Hemodialysis, Robert D. Gilbert

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

[From the Introduction] In chronic renal insufficiency one of the products of metabolism which accumulates in the body is the hydrogen ion. The phosphoric, sulfuric, and organic acids usually eliminated in the urine accumulate. The respiratory system can and does decrease the hydrogen ion content of the body by decreasing the amount of carbonic acid present. The accumulating hydrogen ions also react with various bases throughout the body. The net result of metabolic production, respiratory elimination, and body buffering is reflected in the blood as chronic, partially compensated, metabolic acidosis. As expected the carbonic acid and block buffer concentrations are …

Auditory And Audio-Visual Reception Of Words In Noise By Observers With Normal And Impaired Hearing, Norman Phillip Erber

1970 Apothecary, Southwestern Oklahoma State University

Apothecary

The end of the academic year heralds the arrival of the 1970 APOTHECARY. It has been a fast-paced, hectic time for all. For some, this ends the formal pharmacy curriculum and thus many new situations lie ahead. The 1970 APOTHECARY would like to take this opportunity to wish all the Seniors the best of luck in the future and hearty congratulations on their achievements.

We are very proud of this edition of the APOTHECARY and we want to thank everyone involved in its completion. Certainly, the most "credit" goes to Dr. Ulrich, faculty sponsor. He made most of the …

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria: New Thoughts, Wendell F. Rosse

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I have tried to summarize some of the facts we know, and some questions we need to ask in a disease which, although it is not common, probably is not as rare as we once thought. Once the diagnosis is made, one must be very careful in tending to the patients, since there are instances in which they react much differently than would normal people--either by the hemolytic episode or with other complications. This is especially true with regard to surgery, which may be extremely dangerous in these patients. The post-operative course may be complicated by thrombosis, infections, and other …

The New Hemoglobinopathies, Robert M. Cooper

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The clinical explorations which have resulted from studies of mutant hemoglobin have allowed definition of a variety of syndromes whose manifestations require explanation in terms of the effects of molecular distortion on physiological processes. The discovery of various hemoglobinopathies has demonstrated that specific molecular defects may express themselves in various pathophysiological manifestations. More detailed pathophysiological studies of patients with hemoglobinopathies should be performed to gain a better understanding of the expression of molecular disease.

Transfusion Problems In Hemolytic Anemias, Ali A. Hossaini

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this presentation I have attempted to present some of the transfusion problems that face the Blood Bank and the physician treating the patient. I have briefly discussed methods of recognizing the complicating factors, interpretation of their clinical significance, and the proper hemotherapeutic management of such cases. Finally, I hope that this presentation is a convincing thesis for a better understanding of the Blood Bank and its problems, since the patient's welfare is better served when there is a rapport between the clinician and the Blood Bank staff.

Better Care At Less Cost Without Miracles, Edmund K. Faltermayer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Our present system of medical care is not a system at all. The majority of physicians, operating alone as private entrepreneurs, constitute an army of pushcart vendors in an age of supermarkets. Most patients pay by the cumbersome "fee-for-service" or piecework method, which involves separate billing for visits to doctors, shots, x-rays, laboratory tests, surgery, anesthesia, hospital room and board, etc., etc. The American hospital system, as Herman M. and Anne R. Somers of Princeton University said in their book, Medicare and the Hospitals, "is largely a figure of speech," the result of a haphazard growth of isolated, uncoordinated institutions.

An Incomplete Diagnosis, Wall Street Journal Editorial

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Costs of the programs have doubled since they went into effect four years ago.

Drug Abuse In Our Community, George M. Bright

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

What is new about people taking drugs: Nothing! Our society is a drug-oriented society. We have been both using drugs and, at times, abusing them for years. Furthermore, drug abuse has been written about for hundreds of years. What is alarming today, however, is the number of youth who are joining the drug scene from our junior high, high schools and colleges throughout the country. Fortunately, many of these will be involved only temporarily. Others will develop physical and psychological problems as a consequence of their involvement. Our responsibility is not limited to the small percentage that have short or …

Physician Assistants: New Positions And Expanding Roles In U.S. Medical Care, F. J. Spencer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

There are now 20 operating programs for physician assistants in the United States (Kadish and Long, 1970). Many people agree that the physician assistant is a reality and will be a component of American medicine in the future. Acceptance of the physician assistant by the medical profession has been variable but a recent survey in Wisconsin reveals that, of the physicians surveyed, 61 percent believe that a physician assistant of some type is needed and 42 percent would use him in practice. There is, therefore, indication that the physician assistant will become and established member of the health practice team. …
