The Story Of Gout, W. S. C. Copeman
The Story Of Gout, W. S. C. Copeman
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
It had long been suspected that gout might be a disease of varying origins, but it has only been during the present century that primary or acquired gout and hereditary gout have been clearly defined and differentiated. A considerable number of secondary types are now recognised. Several are of iatrogenic nature, whereas others result from disorders of the blood, the bone marrow and the metabolism, as well as from associated specific defects such as those in the Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome of children. Increasing knowledge of gout's chemical secrets, however, is resulting in improved treatment, and we can now assert that gout …
Investigations On Congenital And Induced Osteopetrosis, Donald G. Walker
Investigations On Congenital And Induced Osteopetrosis, Donald G. Walker
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Osteopetrosis, or marble bone disease, is a disturbance of skeletal development in which the rate of bone resorption fails to keep pace with the rate of bone formation. Bone matrix accumulates excessively throughout the skeletal system, causing damage to neighboring tissues--particularly the dental, hematopoietic and nervous tissues. The line of investigation on osteopetrosis which has led to the current point of view that the thyroid gland represents the primary side of the disturbance was initiated soon after an experimental animal became available.

On The Antiquity Of Man, Roland Schmidt
On The Antiquity Of Man, Roland Schmidt
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Man is now lord of the earth and of the beasts and flowers, but he took millions of years to achieve his dominion. Two events more than others made man capable of his exercise of power. 1) A slowly achieved adaptation of man himself increased his potentialities far beyond those of other animals. The first step was man's gradual assumption of the erect posture. This put him on his peculiarly successful evolutionary path. It freed his hands and opened the way for the development of the central nervous system which made man unique in his capabilities. 2) A late revolution …
The Role Of Operations Research In A University Hospital: A Review And Bibliography, S. J. Kilpatrick Jr.
The Role Of Operations Research In A University Hospital: A Review And Bibliography, S. J. Kilpatrick Jr.
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
In the 1968 Annual Report of the Medical College of Virginia (Bulletin, 1968, pp8,18) the shortage of trained medical personnel is stressed as a serious problem in the care of the sick. As a result of this personnel shortage, approximately 100 beds have recently been closed in the University Hospital. This underlies the need for large medical centers to use O.R. techniques in developing more efficient use of existing medical personnel and in seeking cost reductions while increasing the quality and coverage of medical care. When the medical center is a component of an urban university, both urban and medical …

Changing Concepts Of Deviance, Douglas D. Bond
Changing Concepts Of Deviance, Douglas D. Bond
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
As I look at the list of distinguished Stoneburner Lecturers, I see I am honored by being the first psychiatrist. This is a tribute to the Department of Psychiatry. In thinking about this paper, I at first considered giving a kind of history of psychiatry. What seemed to me more interesting, however, was an examination of our whole perspective on deviance, in general, and what we call “illness”—an example of a certain kind of deviance, or, perhaps more accurately, a certain way of looking at deviance.

Perspectives In The Behavioral Sciences, Douglas D. Bond
Perspectives In The Behavioral Sciences, Douglas D. Bond
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
It is clear at this moment that we have two major thrusts. The first is the unlocking of the biological secrets surrounding the potential for development and the fixing of learned material in the biological matrix. The second is the careful examination of the culture that will be learned. Here, not only every social scientist but every citizen need be concerned. The present emphasis upon the importance of culture can hardly be exaggerated unless it crowds out our interest in the biological. Man remains an enigma; reason, a personal control of prejudice, and a continuing spirit of disciplined inquiry are …
Whom, Why And How To Refer, Zigmond M. Lebensohn
Whom, Why And How To Refer, Zigmond M. Lebensohn
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
When a medical practitioner decides that the time has come to refer his patient to a specialist, certain psychological problems arise which may, at times, interfere with the smooth accomplishment of the referral. These problems can and do occur daily in medical practice, and it often makes little difference whether the specialist is a thoracic surgeon, a neurosurgeon or a psychiatrist. Referrals create certain anxieties and fears in the mind of the patient. Some of these anxieties are common to all referrals. The patient asks himself, "What's going on? What does the doctor think I really have? How serious is …
Family Tension And Psychophysiological Illness, Milton Rosenbaum
Family Tension And Psychophysiological Illness, Milton Rosenbaum
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The title of this talk, "Family Tension and Psychophysiological Illness," in itself implies that physiological changes may result from psychological forces connected with interpersonal as well as intrapersonal factors. This I firmly believe. For the most part, people do not become ill solely as the result of physiological changes. Illness usually occurs within the context of difficulties in interpersonal relations which, in the majority of instances, means the family. This does not mean that, once the patient becomes ill, he cannot be treated individually, or that, once the illness starts, the intrapsychic conflicts unleashed by it will not run their …

Laboratory And Clinical Studies Of Cardiac Transplantation, Richard R. Lower, V. Eric Kemp, Walter H. Graham, David H. Sewell, Hermes A. Kontos, George M. Williams
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Cardiac transplantation was carried out on four patients at the Medical College of Virginia between May and October of 1968, in an effort to salvage them from the terminal stages of otherwise uncorrectable heart disease. Despite a strikingly good early recovery from operation in each case, three of the patients died of acute homograft rejection in one to three weeks; our second case is living and well, ten months after operation, and is at this writing the world's third longest survivor. The world experience to June of 1969 includes about 130 cardiac transplants. Of the first 100 patients operated on …
Induction Of Immunological Tolerance To Tissue Allografts With Antilymphocyte Serum, Anthony P. Monaco, Mark A. Hardy
Induction Of Immunological Tolerance To Tissue Allografts With Antilymphocyte Serum, Anthony P. Monaco, Mark A. Hardy
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Our interest in the problem of tolerance induction is directly concerned with clinical organ transplantation. ALS is highly effective in depressing cellular immunities. Since at least initial allograft rejection is predominantly a cellular phenomenon, one would expect ALS to be highly effective clinically. Our initial observations in this regard support this concept. However, non-specific depression of cellular immunity may also lead to an increased number or viral, fungal, and protozoan infections. Experiments, such as these presented, strongly suggest that a specific state of tolerance to organ grafts in man should be attainable with the aid of ALS followed by introduction …
Tissue Typing, Ronald T. Rolley
Tissue Typing, Ronald T. Rolley
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
At present, histocompatibility matching is an inexact science, and there are undoubtedly many histocompatibility antigens either poorly defined or undefined. With further definition of such antigens, improvement can be expected in the correlation of tissue typing with homograft function and survival. Further work also needs to be done to determine which method of tissue typing is best.

Social And Community Psychiatry And Its Effect On The Family, William W. Jepson
Social And Community Psychiatry And Its Effect On The Family, William W. Jepson
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Without further detailing the methodology, I would like to emphasize one point, i.e., a psychiatric crisis need no longer be considered the point of departure for a family member, but rather can be regarded as an entrée for helping the entire family to cope with interpersonal conflicts. With the kind of help offered in a mental health center, families as total units can often attain a better adjustment than before, and the illness stemming from interpersonal difficulty will not rest entirely on the scapegoat member. In summary, I should like to emphasize that modern psychiatry is beginning to see the …
Community Resources: The Role Of Other Professionals, Luther Christman
Community Resources: The Role Of Other Professionals, Luther Christman
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
In this short paper an attempt has been made to sketch briefly some of the social forces affecting collaboration. A model of shared power has been suggested as a means of most effectively mobilizing the professional mental health manpower and of stimulating the growth of expertness. It is only one alternative among many. The behavioral scientists constantly are studying the best ways to harness human effort for the social good. The application of their findings to the problem of interdisciplinary collaboration may be a valuable means of improving patient care.

Psychopharmacological Procedures, Heinz E. Lehmann
Psychopharmacological Procedures, Heinz E. Lehmann
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Psychopharmacology has opened the door to many previously blocked parts of psychiatric therapy. It has been a welcome catalyst for a long awaited rapprochement between psychiatry and the rest of medicine. Even if psychopharmacological research is not likely to produce another revolutionary "breakthrough" type of drug in the near future, there is good reason to expect many more useful therapeutic tools to issue from such research in the years to come.
Onset Of The Immune Response, S. G. Bradley
Onset Of The Immune Response, S. G. Bradley
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
In our studies on the primary immune response, we have used germfree, colostrum-deprived swine taken three to five days prematurely by hysterectomy. These piglets lack gamma globulin until they are immunized. Upon antigenic stimulation, early macroglobulin antibody is produced within 48 hours; subsequently late euglobulin antibody is produced. Our results have led me to formulate a new instructive model for the onset of antibody formation.

Current Concepts In The Field Of Neurochemical Mediation, Berta Scharrer
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Chemical mediators involved in the integrative activities of the nervous system operate either at close range as neurohumors or over some distance as neurohormones. As will become evident, the distinction between neurohumoral and neurohormonal activities is not always clear-cut.

The Interplay Of Defense Mechanisms Against Infectious Diseases, Quentin N. Myrvik
The Interplay Of Defense Mechanisms Against Infectious Diseases, Quentin N. Myrvik
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The total complex of immune expression is an interplay between nonspecific antimicrobial humoral systems plus specific antibodies and accessory factors. These systems are backstopped by the phagocytic functions of PMNs. If these fail, mononuclear phagocytes respond as a second line of defense to carry out chronic engagements. In addition to a direct activation process by "substrate," macrophages may be activated and mobilized by a lymphocyte-mediated immunologic reaction which probably involves either a "lymphotoxin" and/or a specific antibody cytophilic for macrophages. Immunologically activated lymphocytes appear to be the primary effector cells of anti-tissue (transplantation) cellular immunity, whereas immunologically activated macrophages appear …
