The Application Of An Index To Determine Genetic And Environhental Contributions To Dentofacial Growth In Twins And Siblings, Richard Charles Hayes

Theses and Dissertations

The method of principal components may be used to reduce a large quantity of data for an individual into a single statistic, a growth index, indicative of overall facial growth, and to make a determination of the relative contribution of each variable, as well as the genotype and the environment, to the variation between individuals, When this method is applied to four consecutive years of cephalometric and anthropometric data from each of 95 children, consisting of Caucasian and Negro monozygotic twins, like-sexed dizygotic twins, and their siblings of both sexes, it discloses that:

1. The relative contributions of the variables …

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 …

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.

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 …

Book Review, S. J. Kilpatrick Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Computers in the Service of Medicine. Essays on Current Research and Applications. Gordon McLachlan and Richard A. Shegog (eds.). London, Oxford University Press, 1968. The 23 short articles presented in these two paperback volumes describe work in progress and the current thinking at a number of British medical centers on the use and installation of computers in hospitals. The majority of the authors are doctors, working in medical schools, who see medical computing as their discipline.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Psychiatry In Medical Practice, George Kriegman

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

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 …

Recognition And Management Of Psychiatric Emergencies, John A. Ewing

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Emergencies are simply unforeseen occurrences which present themselves to physicians in a variety of ways. Indeed, a physician is not the first person on hand for most emergencies but may merely be called upon for appropriate intervention. Any of us can be presented with an emergency, psychiatric or otherwise, at any moment. However, each of us has his own particular probability of sampling psychiatric emergencies, depending upon who he is and what he does. In actual fact, psychiatric emergencies more often confront people other than psychiatrists, for example, the policeman, the social worker, and the general practitioner (Ewing, 1965). As …
