Urological Complications In Relation To The Treatment Of Cervical Cancer, Tassilo Antoine Jan 1967

Urological Complications In Relation To The Treatment Of Cervical Cancer, Tassilo Antoine

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, today as ever before it is our main task as physicians to cure the cancer; however, we must not forget that we have to fight all other causes of death of our patients. Among these primary causes are the urological complications which are all the worse because they are iatrogenic. We have to be aware that most of the urologic complications can be avoided or eliminated if we think about them. Our task is not achieved by killing the cancer and saving the life of the patient; this life must be rendered worthwhile too.

Pharmacology Of Anti-Anginal Agents, Maurice Mcgregor Jan 1967

Pharmacology Of Anti-Anginal Agents, Maurice Mcgregor

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion I would like to stress that these observations do not constitute direct evidence of the mechanism whereby the nitrates relieve angina pectoris. It is probable that they are capable of causing some reduction of myocardial oxygen consumption. However, there is increasing indirect evidence which suggests that the site of action of these drugs is principally on the large coronary arteries. Their administration may thus relieve coronary spasm, if this ever causes angina, and more importantly will increase collateral flow into ischemic areas of myocardium when collateral channels have become enlarged. Drugs such as dipyridamole which seem to act …

Continuing Experience In The Combination Of Radiotherapy And Surgery In The Treatment Of Uterine Cancer, John A. Stallworthy Jan 1967

Continuing Experience In The Combination Of Radiotherapy And Surgery In The Treatment Of Uterine Cancer, John A. Stallworthy

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I will use two recent cases to illustrate the following four points: 1. That high doses of irradiation, though not a desirable prelude to surgery, are not an absolute contraindication. 2. That the final criterion of radiation response is not measured by exfoliative cytology, but by the length of time the patient lives without further evidence of tumour formation. 3. That planned combined therapy ab initio is less traumatic for both patient and surgeon than salvage surgery after failed irradiation. 4. That teamwork involving radiotherapist and surgeon is essential for success.

Exstrophy Of The Bladder: Its Variations And Causation, Victor F. Marshall Jan 1967

Exstrophy Of The Bladder: Its Variations And Causation, Victor F. Marshall

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Exstrophy of the urinary bladder is a very exotic malformation essentially limited to humans. This type of deformity presents a full panorama from very mild cases of epispadias to full cloacal exstrophy. Unlike many malformations, it does not correspond to a normal stage of embryonic development, and on that account does not appear to be a simple arrest of development..

The Physician As Humanist, George T. Harrell Jan 1967

The Physician As Humanist, George T. Harrell

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is appropriate that this lecture should be given in a building which is devoted to the broader aspects of living and which is located on the campus of an institution which treats bodily ills. This institution began as part of a liberal arts college. This tradition in the state of Virginia started with Mr. Jefferson when the University was established at Charlottesville. He decreed that one of the first chairs should be in medicine, not as preparation for a professional career, but as a discipline which should be understood by all educated men. The faculty at this institution has …

Symposium On Intracellular Ph, Pco₂ And Po₂: Introductory Remarks, John L. Patterson Jr. Jan 1967

Symposium On Intracellular Ph, Pco₂ And Po₂: Introductory Remarks, John L. Patterson Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is a pleasure to welcome the three authorities who will carry the major load of presentations in our symposium today. They are Dr. Frans Jöbsis of Duke University School of Medicine, Dr. Eugene Robin of The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Dr. Norman Carter of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. We are also grateful for the presence of Dr. Lutz Kiesow of the Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Kiesow will assist in the discussions to be held after each major presentation. Each of these men is an international authority in his field, and …

Intracellular Ph Determination By Means Of Ph Glass Microelectrodes, Norman W. Carter Jan 1967

Intracellular Ph Determination By Means Of Ph Glass Microelectrodes, Norman W. Carter

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A number of years ago I decided to attempt to measure the intracellular pH of skeletal muscle by a more direct method than those in current use, that is, by an electrode. I excluded all forms of pH electrodes except the glass electrode and then set up a certain number of characteristics or requirements that this electrode should have. First, the electrode should be insulated in such a manner that only the pH-sensitive portion is in the cell cytoplasm. Second, the reference side of the electrode group should also be within the cell, because the cell has a transmembrane potential; …

Traumatic Hyphema: A Review Of Experience At The Medical College Of Virginia During The Past Decade, Walter J. Geeraets, Ching-Hung Liu, Dupont Guerry Iii Jan 1967

Traumatic Hyphema: A Review Of Experience At The Medical College Of Virginia During The Past Decade, Walter J. Geeraets, Ching-Hung Liu, Dupont Guerry Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Hyphema (hemorrhage into the anterior chamber of the eye), as the result of blunt injury to the eye, carries a potential danger of visual loss if not properly treated. This review of cases seen in the MCV Hospitals over the last decade lists some of the complications and stresses some of the important factors in the management.

Symposium On Pelvic Surgery: The 1966 Mcguire Lectures And Symposium, Randolph H. Hoge Jan 1967

Symposium On Pelvic Surgery: The 1966 Mcguire Lectures And Symposium, Randolph H. Hoge

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The Society of Pelvic Surgeons was formed in 1952 for the purpose of holding meetings for the free and informal interchange of ideas pertaining to pelvic surgery and related topics, and to exert influence for the betterment of the teaching and practice of pelvic surgery. In 1959 and again in 1966, the Society gave the McGuire Lectures and Symposium, thus diverging from its usual program of round table discussion among its own members.

The Role Of The Physician In Family Planning, Howard C. Taylor Jr. Jan 1967

The Role Of The Physician In Family Planning, Howard C. Taylor Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, one can find many reasons for believing that family planning programs should in general be associated with maternity services and that educational efforts should be concentrated during the weeks of pregnancy and the puerperium. During these periods the women of an age and fertility most in need of family planning are easily detectable. They are for obvious reasons interested in the subject and the most susceptible to advice. The staff needed for this work is already partly available among the physicians, nurses, midwives, and social workers connected with maternity services. The system promises to introduce birth control in …

Surgical Treatment Or Irradiation Of Cervical Carcinoma, Werner Bickenbach Jan 1967

Surgical Treatment Or Irradiation Of Cervical Carcinoma, Werner Bickenbach

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

All in all, the various methods, surgical with or without lymphadenectomy and irradiation, including supervolt therapy, permit marked individualization according to the age of the patient, her general condition, her operability, and according to the histological findings. It may be said for all methods that the best results are still obtained in the early stages of carcinoma. By surgery as well as irradiation, 90% or more permanent cures may be achieved. This, in view of the nature of cancerous disease, is an important fact.

Results Of 600 Wertheim Operations For Cancer Of The Cervix, Otto Käser Jan 1967

Results Of 600 Wertheim Operations For Cancer Of The Cervix, Otto Käser

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The 600 Wertheim cases are composed of three series; the first consisting of 405 cases (1950 to 1963) from Frankfurt under the chairmanship of Professor Naujoks; the second consisting of 85 cases (1953 to 1962) from St. Gall, Switzerland, where I was at the time head of the department; and the third consisting of 110 cases (1963-1965) from Frankfurt. In these 600 cases neither the technique nor the indications were identical. Before 1958, lymphadenectomy was not used in Frankfurt; however, since then it has been an essential part of the procedure, and has been used in all cases from St. …

Epidemiology Of Adverse Drug Reactions, Leighton E. Cluff Jan 1967

Epidemiology Of Adverse Drug Reactions, Leighton E. Cluff

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I would like to conclude by citing two rather interesting observations we have made. Three-quarters of all the patients in all our surveillance who have allergic reactions to drugs have had peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, or neoplastic disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Of these patients, three-quarters of the drugs producing allergic reactions are administered orally. The rates of allergic reactions to individual drugs in patients with gastrointestinal disease as opposed to those without gastrointestinal disease receiving the same medication, are significantly increased. What the impact is of inflammatory gastrointestinal disease 1) upon the absorption of the drug, 2) upon its …

Some Perspectives On Immunosuppressive Drugs, Robert S. Schwartz Jan 1967

Some Perspectives On Immunosuppressive Drugs, Robert S. Schwartz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, the antimetabolites have proven extremely interesting in the laboratory for the exploration of the mechanism of antibody synthesis and related problems. They have also proven to be extremely useful and interesting materials in the clinic. Whether they are going to replace any other standard forms of therapy, such as the corticosteroids, is, in my view, doubtful. Their use at the moment is experimental and their ultimate place in clinical medicine is by no means settled. They appear to have two important effects in man: 1) Suppression of antibody formation which can be, in many individuals, selective; and 2) …

Diagnostic Ultrasonography, Joseph H. Holmes Jan 1967

Diagnostic Ultrasonography, Joseph H. Holmes

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It was the development of radar and sonar during the last World War which made the ultrasonic techniques I am going to talk about possible. Following the War, Dr. K. T. Dussik had the idea that, if one directed ultrasonic waves into the body, one might obtain echoes reflected from tissue surfaces in the same way that the Navy received echo information reflected from the submarine's hull. When he did this, he did get reflected echoes from within the body, and this opened the door for other investigators to demonstrate how this echo information could be made useful in diagnostic …

Continuing Education For What?, George E. Miller Jan 1967

Continuing Education For What?, George E. Miller

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Continuing education should mean continuing self-education, not continuing instruction. If this desirable goal is to be accomplished, there must be movement away from the content model, which encourages dependence upon teachers, to a process model, which demands a significant measure of self-reliance--a shift away from preoccupation with courses and methods, toward an augmented concern for educational diagnosis and individualized therapy. It does not mean an immediate abandonment of present program forms, but it is likely to be accompanied by a slow erosion of the faith which presently supports them.

Oxygen Tension: Direct Observations On The Critical Level For The Brain, Frans F. Jӧbsis Jan 1967

Oxygen Tension: Direct Observations On The Critical Level For The Brain, Frans F. Jӧbsis

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this lecture I want to address myself to the questions: What is the lowest oxygen tension compatible with adequate function, and what are the factors that set this limit? Much of the background to the material present here has been reviewed extensively in the not too distant past (Jӧbsis '64), and I will take the liberty of letting that article provide most of the detailed justification of my remarks today. [Includes discussion.]
