Structural Functional Theory, Social Work Practice And Education, Joe Hudson Jul 1978

Structural Functional Theory, Social Work Practice And Education, Joe Hudson

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The theoretical framework of structural functionalism in sociological theory does not consist of a single, unified, and consistent exposition. Different writers make different emphases, use somewhat different terminolog, and include different phenomena under a variety of similar terms. Rather than attempt to deal superficially with a wide variety of theorists writing out of this perspective, we will focus primarily on the central concepts in the work of perhaps the most eminent proponent of this approach in current sociological work - Talcott Parsons - and, in turn, discuss the relevance of this framework for social work education and practice.

Length Of Perfusion Time In Cadaver Kidney Transplantation, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Stanley G. Dienst, Cosme Cruz, Pedro Cortes, Godofredo Santiago, Nathan W. Levin, Riad Farah, Joseph C. Cerny Jun 1978

Length Of Perfusion Time In Cadaver Kidney Transplantation, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Stanley G. Dienst, Cosme Cruz, Pedro Cortes, Godofredo Santiago, Nathan W. Levin, Riad Farah, Joseph C. Cerny

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The results of transplantation survival for 70 consecutive cadaver kidneys preserved under hypothermic pulsatile perfusion at Henry Ford Hospital are reviewed. Pulsatile perfusion for up to 30 hours did not adversely alter the survival rate following transplantation. Thus, kidneys perfused for prolonged periods of time (> 20 hours) can be used for transplantation, if the basic rules for organ retrieval and preservation have been followed. Hypothermic pulsatile perfusion of cadaver kidneys has been demonstrated to be an adequate system for ex-vivo preservation for transplantation.

Intracardiac Phonocardiography In Subaortic Stenosis, Paul D. Stein, Hani N. Sabbah, Daniel T. Anbe, Fareed Khaja, Gordon M. Folger Jr. Jun 1978

Intracardiac Phonocardiography In Subaortic Stenosis, Paul D. Stein, Hani N. Sabbah, Daniel T. Anbe, Fareed Khaja, Gordon M. Folger Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The purpose of this study is to explore the value of intracardiac sound recordings for the verification of subaortic stenosis. Intracardiac sound was measured in ten patients with subaortic obstructions. Seven had idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, two had a subvalvular membrane, and one had a subvalvular tunnel. In each patient, a systolic murmur was recorded within the left ventricle distal to the obstruction. The murmur was of lower amplitude distal to the aortic valve, and it was of even lower amplitude or absent proximal to the obstruction. In the presence of entrapment, no intraventricular murmur occurred although an apparent subvalvular …

Clinical Notes: Bacteremia Associated With Colonoscopy, A. Suarez, B. Schuman, E. Quinn, T. Neblett Jun 1978

Clinical Notes: Bacteremia Associated With Colonoscopy, A. Suarez, B. Schuman, E. Quinn, T. Neblett

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Twenty-eight patients had a total of 168 blood cultures before and at regular intervals during colonoscopy. No bacteremia was found. Based on our results and other reports, we recommend antibiotic prophylaxis during colonoscopy only for those patients with prosthetic heart valves and for those with valvular heart disease who also have advanced liver disease.

Noninvasive Techniques In The Evaluation Of Arterial Disease, J. Dennis Baker Jun 1978

Noninvasive Techniques In The Evaluation Of Arterial Disease, J. Dennis Baker

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This paper reviews noninvasive technology currently being applied in clinical peripheral vascular laboratories for the evaluation of obstructive arterial disease in the lower extremities and in the cerebral circulation. Lower extremity, arterial insufficiency can be assessed by pressures measured with a Doppler flowmeter or by oscillometric tracings obtained with a Pulse Volume Recorder. Carotid artery stenosis is studied by: 1) ocular pneumoplethysmography, which indirectly measures ophthalmic artery pressure; 2) oculoplethysmography, which compares pulse arrival time at the two eyes; and 3) the Doppler ophthalmic test, which detects the flow pattern in the ophthalmic artery. The main uses of the tests …

The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins Jun 1978

The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins

West Virginia Law Review

On February 15, 1978, Congress enacted the Black Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977. The passage of this legislation followed months of congressional indecision over just how the existing black lung benefits system could be reformed. During this period, the financing of the program appeared to be the most divisive issue. That issue was finally resolved by the enactment in late January of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977. After this hurdle was cleared, the conference committee report on the reform act easily passed both houses.' The Act, which amended the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act …

What's New In Crohn's Disease Treatment, Francis J. Owens Jun 1978

What's New In Crohn's Disease Treatment, Francis J. Owens

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Progress in the management of Crohn's disease is limited by our inability to compare different patients. Two methods of evaluating the severity of disease have recently been published. Of these, the National Cooperative Crohn's Disease Study (NCCDS) method has been utilized in a study reported on at several national meetings but still in progress. Antibiotics in intensive prolonged dosage, e.g. ampicillin, 500 mg qid for several months, have recently been reported to benefit greater than 90% of patients not responding to conventional therapy. Metronidazole and dapsone continue to be mentioned in letters to journals. Sulfasalazine has been found useful in …

Refractory Hypercalcemia In Sarcoidosis: Exacerbation By Thiazide Diuretics, Differentiation From Primary Hyperparathyroidism, And Possible Role Of Prolactin, A. M. Parfitt Jun 1978

Refractory Hypercalcemia In Sarcoidosis: Exacerbation By Thiazide Diuretics, Differentiation From Primary Hyperparathyroidism, And Possible Role Of Prolactin, A. M. Parfitt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hypercalcemia in a patient with sarcoidosis was made worse by a thiazide diuretic initially given to control hypercalciuria alone. The hypercalcemia was unusually resistant to corticosteroid treatment during the summer even after the thiazide diuretic had been discontinued. Lack of response to corticosteroid together with decreased tubular reabsorption of phosphate and increased tubular reabsorption of calcium suggested associated primary hyperparathyroidism, but PTH was undetectable by immunoassay, and nephrogenous cyclic AMP excretion was zero. Amenorrhea, galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia were found to be due to a pituitary tumor which was removed. The experience with this patient suggests that: 1) exacerbation of hypercalcemia …

Effect Of Glucagon And Methylprednisolone On Pancreatectomized Recipients Of Whole Pancreas Allografts, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Michael Zammit, Krishna D. Valjee Jun 1978

Effect Of Glucagon And Methylprednisolone On Pancreatectomized Recipients Of Whole Pancreas Allografts, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Michael Zammit, Krishna D. Valjee

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Glucagon alone or in combination with methylprednisolone was an adequate therapeutic adjuvant for pancreatectomized recipients of whole pancreas allografts. All recipients were minimally immunosuppressed with azathioprine, 5.0 mg/K/day for three days, then 2.5 mg/K/day. The morphological, functional, and survival response after whole pancreas transplantation indicated a trend of improvement in the treated groups. Only the groups of dogs receiving glucagon alone or in combination with methylprednisolone survived more than two weeks after transplantation. This therapy has proven to be effective for whole pancreas transplantation.

Testicular Degeneration Following Aflatoxin B1 Administration In Rats, Subhkij Angsubhakorn, Natth Bhamarapravati, Kanda Romruen, Virat Prangprakma, Somphong Sahaphong, Witaya Thamavit Jun 1978

Testicular Degeneration Following Aflatoxin B1 Administration In Rats, Subhkij Angsubhakorn, Natth Bhamarapravati, Kanda Romruen, Virat Prangprakma, Somphong Sahaphong, Witaya Thamavit

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Administration of the semisynthetic diet containing aflatoxin B1 at the level of 20 ppm for 4 wks induced testicular degeneration in the male Buffalo strain rats. Various degrees of seminiferous epithelial degeneration were observed and described by light microscopy. However, testes of rats that survived until the end of the experiment (32 wks) showed only slight thickening of the basement membrane and a decrease in diameter of the seminiferous tubules. This observations suggested that aflatoxin B1 had only a transient toxic effect on rat testes.
