Systematic Treatment Of Chronic Pain With Antidepressants, Dietrich Blumer, Mary Heilbronn, Edgard Pedraza, Gerald Pope

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Patients with chronic pain who do not have significant physical symptoms present a characteristic clinical-psychological profile and show a high incidence of depressive traits (inactivity, depressive mood, anhedonia, and insomnia). This syndrome is termed pain-prone disorder and represents a form of masked depression par excellence. A series of 129 patients with pain of 6.9 years' duration was divided into three treatment groups. Two psychiatrists prescribed antidepressants systematically by promptly increasing doses and by alternating antidepressants if indicated. Significant improvement or freedom from pain was achieved in most patients who complied with treatment.

The third psychiatrist did not follow the systematic …

The Efficacy Of Biliary Diversion For Benign Disease: Long-Term Follow-Up, Farouq Samhouri, Carlos Grodsinsky, Hubert Allen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Retrospective analysis of 70 patients who underwent biliary bypass operations for benign disease over an eight-year period was undertaken to evaluate long-term complications. Operative procedures included choledochoduodenostomy in 60 patients, choledochojejunostomy in four, and cholecystoduodenostomy, cholecystojejunostomy and hepaticojejunostomy in two patients each. The most common indication for surgery was choledocholithiasis, with or without hepatic stones, viscid bile, and ampullary stenosis (61 to 70 patients). Other indications included chronic pancreatitis, choledochal cyst, and sclerosing cholangitis. One patient died postoperatively from hemorrhage, and two others died from causes unrelated to surgery. Two patients developed cholangitis without reflux and demonstrated anastomotic stenosis at …

Danazol Therapy In Hereditary Angioedema, Lawrence C. Sweet, Charles E. Jackson, Sam S. Yanari, J. B. Yott

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Herditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominantly inherited condition in which a deficiency of the inhibitor (C1lnh) of the activated first component of complement is associated with recurrent episodes of edema of the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and larynx. The pituitary gonadotropin inhibitor, danazol, has been reported to be effective in preventing attacks and increasing C1lnh levels. Our experience with 11 patients from five kindreds corroborated those results and has revealed that most patients can be maintained symptom-free on 100-200 mg of danazol daily Side effects were minimal, although one young woman discontinued therapy because it aggravated her acne. The elevation …

Skin Lesions Associated With E. Coli Sepsis In A Patient With Acute Leukemia, Robert A. Chapman, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Tom Madhavan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The clinical course of a patient with acute leukemia and metastatic intradermal abscesses secondary to Escherichia coli sepsis is described. E. coli organisms, cultured first from the blood and later from the lesions, had an identical antibiotic susceptibility and biotyping profile. This complication has not been previously described. Granulocytopenia and varicose veins may have been critical predisposing factors. With more widespread use of progressive immunosuppressive regimens, unusual manifestations of common infections will be recognized more frequently.

Hypomagnesemia-Lnduced Cardiac Arrhythmia, Robert Chapman, Jan Rival

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A case of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia associated with magnesium deficiency is described. The patient had no history of any cardiac disease, was not taking any medication and had no other accompanying electrolyte disorder. His arrhythmia was refractory to conventional treatment but responded to parenteral magnesium therapy. The role of hypomagnesemia in the predisposition to cardiac arrhythmia is discussed. To our knowledge, there are only two well-documented cases of ventricular irritability which responded to magnesium as the sole treatment. As awareness of such a relationshp increases and magnesium determinations become more available, this entity may be more commonly recognized, and the …

Dissecting Aneurysm Of Aorta Complicating Coarctation Of The Aorta: Case Report And Brief Literature Review, Remigio Garcia, Julius M. Ohorodnik, Donald J. Magilligan Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The incidence of dissecting thoracic aorta aneurysm complicating coarctation of the aorta ranges from 1.7 to 23% in large series of coarctation of the aorta reported. In a review of 95 cases of dissection of the aorta, we found only one case with associated coarctation of the aorta. The presence of this anomaly, although rare, should be suspected and searched for in younger patients with dissection, in view of the surgical implications at the time of correction.

Use Of The Intraocular Lens In The Aphakic Eye - Part 1: The Anterior Chamber Intraocular Lens, Philip C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Th;s paper reviews some reasons why many ophthalmic surgeons do not implant intraocular lenses. It presents some parameters of a theoretically "ideal" lens, some of the disadvantages and advantages of the currently available anterior chamber intraocular lenses, and lastly, it offers designs for a new anterior chamber intraocular lens. While preserving the advantages of currently available anterior chamber intraocular lenses, the new designs may have certain advantages. Currently under investigation, the new lenses may be available for use in man within the next year.

Aspects Of The Sociology Of Psychiatry, Hans S. Falck

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

There can be little doubt that for the social scientist interested in the case of psychiatry there is much to learn. Not only is psychiatry a specialty in medicine, with a variety of subspecialities, is also enjoys links to other professions such as clinical psychology, psychiatric nursing and psychiatric social work. While in some sense this provides psychiatry the opportunity to be the renaissance man in medicine -- a situation which might elicit envy from others less universal and catholic -- it also causes it great difficulties and troubles. Nooone seems to know where psychiatry begins and ends; it suffers …

Procedures For The Maintenance And Generalization Of Achieved Behavioral Change, John S. Wodarski

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Procedures for the maintenance and generalization of achieved behavioral change in anti-social adolescents are reviewed. A review of follow-up studies which provides the rationale for the incorporation of such procedures in practice is initially elaborated. Specific items discussed are possible avenues to the maintenance and generalization of behavior: social networks, peers, and parents; training socially relevant behaviors; changing the conditions of training; gradually removing or fading the contingencies; delayed reinforcement; and self control procedures. Throughout the manuscript relevant case illustrations are reviewed.

Employment, Theory And Practice In Qualitative Medical Sociology, Mary Jo Deegan

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Applied qualitative medical sociology is almost an unheard of phenomenon. When it is done, however, It is usually accomplished by sociologists employed in academic institutions. Here we discuss the possibility of such a specialty, building upon the established literature and resources, as a potential area of employment and expanded sociology practice. Three "types" of approaches: symbolic interaction, phenomenology and Marxism are used to suggest the diversity and resources available in qualitative sociology.
