Systematics Of Neotropical Hirstionyssus Mites With Special Emphasis With Special Emphasis On Venezuela (Acarina: Mesostigmata), C. Selby Herrin, Conrad E. Yunker Oct 1975

Systematics Of Neotropical Hirstionyssus Mites With Special Emphasis With Special Emphasis On Venezuela (Acarina: Mesostigmata), C. Selby Herrin, Conrad E. Yunker

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This paper presents the results of a systematic study of mites of the genus Hirstionyssus Fonseca collected from mammals, primarily in Venezuela, but including one collection each from Colombia, Nicaragua, and British Honduras. Previously described species from Panamá and Brazil are reviewed and new distributional records are listed. The known Neotropical fauna of Hirstionyssus mites includes 15 species, 7 of which are described here as new: H. proctolatus n. sp.; H. brachysternum n. sp.; H. dorsolatus n. sp.; H. rhipidomys n. sp.; H, venezuelensis n. sp.; H. brevicalcar n. sp.; and H. parvisoma n. sp. The previously unknown male and …

Spinturnicid Mites Of Venezuela (Acarina: Spinturnicidae), C. Selby Herrin, Vernon J. Tipton Oct 1975

Spinturnicid Mites Of Venezuela (Acarina: Spinturnicidae), C. Selby Herrin, Vernon J. Tipton

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The results of an extensive survey of spinturnicid mites of bats from Venezuela are presented in this paper. Approximately 30,000 bats were collected from a wide variety of life zones and localities. A representative sample was searched for ectoparasites. There are 3 genera of the family Spinturnicidae in Venezuela: Cameronieta, Periglischrus, and Spinturnix. Three previously described species of Cameronieta were found in the Venezuelan collection. Of the 7 species of Spinturnix previously described from the New World, 4 are reported from Venezuela. The genus Periglischrus constitutes by far the most significant segment of the Venezuelan collection. It is represented by …

Distribution And Abundance Of The Black-Billed Magpie (Pica Pica) In North America, Carl E. Bock, Larry W. Lepthien Sep 1975

Distribution And Abundance Of The Black-Billed Magpie (Pica Pica) In North America, Carl E. Bock, Larry W. Lepthien

Great Basin Naturalist

Analysis of Audubon Society Christmas bird count data and certain environmental variables shows the degree to which the Black-billed Magpie is a bird of cool arid regions in North America. The abundance and distribution of this species appear to be limited by two major climatic barriers: increasing summer temperatures in the Southwest and increasing summer humidity and precipitation on the central plains.

The Effects Of Immobility On Long Bone Remodelling In The Rhesus Monkey, Charles C. Schock, Frank R. Noyes, Michael M. Crouch, Catharina H. E. Mathews Sep 1975

The Effects Of Immobility On Long Bone Remodelling In The Rhesus Monkey, Charles C. Schock, Frank R. Noyes, Michael M. Crouch, Catharina H. E. Mathews

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Using Frost's method for undecalcified bone sections, long bones of the lower extremities of ten rhesus monkeys were examined following two months' immobilization and compared with thirteen controls. A decrease in appositional rate and in the surface extent of the ossification process were noted in the immobilized animals. No typical change in resorption was noted. The immobilized animals showed a decreased cortical-total area ratio. These findings suggest that a decrease in activity affects bone by depressing functions mediated by the osteoblast without necessarily evoking an Increased remodelling response.

Sjogren's Syndrome: Relationship Between Ocular Findings And Parotid Sialograms, A. O. Carbone, C. F. Petrozzi, J. Delcarpio, J. A. Zegarra Sep 1975

Sjogren's Syndrome: Relationship Between Ocular Findings And Parotid Sialograms, A. O. Carbone, C. F. Petrozzi, J. Delcarpio, J. A. Zegarra

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study evaluates the incidence and severity of the ocular findings and its correlation with the parotid gland changes, as demonstrated by sialography, in 82 patients with Sjogren's syndrome. It is shown that the ocular component of the syndrome manifests rather autonomously with respect to the accompanying collagen disease and that there seems to be only a tentative trend towards a positive correlation between the ocular and parotid findings. Sjogren's syndrome immunologically is closer to the collagen diseases than to the so-called organ-specific autoimmune diseases.

Supportive Care Of The Leukemic Patient, Ellis J. Van Slyck Sep 1975

Supportive Care Of The Leukemic Patient, Ellis J. Van Slyck

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The outlook for the patient with leukemia or lymphoma has been improved by the exponential expansion of basic scientific knowledge in physical chemistry and microbiology, added to much new clinical information based on large cooperative group studies. Most of this progress derives, not from a specific treatment for the disease, but from better understanding and use of multiple support measures. These include the availability of blood components, such as red blood cell, platelet and granulocyte concentrates, better protective isolation measures, and greater expertise in the recognition and treatment of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections in immunosuppressed patients. In addition, the …

Spontaneous Asymptomatic Pneumoperitoneum, Fernando Canavati, Thomas A. Fox Jr. Sep 1975

Spontaneous Asymptomatic Pneumoperitoneum, Fernando Canavati, Thomas A. Fox Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A 65-year-old man developed a spontaneous asymptomatic pneumoperitoneum which was managed conservatively without exploratory laparotomy. However, the authors caution that repeated and careful examinations of the abdomen, observation of vital signs, and leucocyte counts must be made. Also, complete radiological examination of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts is necessary to eliminate a possible unrecognized lesion that might explain the origin of the spontaneous pneumoperitoneum.

Bacterial Endocarditis And Incarceration Of A Transvenous Pacemaker: Removal Under Cardiopulmonary By-Pass After Prolonged Traction Proved Ineffective, Remigio Garcia, Mehdi Hakimi-Naini Sep 1975

Bacterial Endocarditis And Incarceration Of A Transvenous Pacemaker: Removal Under Cardiopulmonary By-Pass After Prolonged Traction Proved Ineffective, Remigio Garcia, Mehdi Hakimi-Naini

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Transvenous electrode endocardial pacing of the right ventricle is the most simple and common modality of permanent pacing at present. The incidence of endocarditis is rare. Only two patients were found in our hospital series of over 200 who had permanent transvenous pacemakers implanted. A 40-year-old housewife developed staphylococcus aureus endocarditis secondary to local wound infection in the power pack pocket, requiring removal of the infected electrode under cardiopulmonary by-pass. Prolonged traction of the retained electrode proved ineffective. The mechanism of electrode entrapment is discussed.

Congestive Cardiomyopathy As An End Stage Of Toxoplasma Myocarditis, Mohsin Alam, Wolf F. C. Duvernoy, Edward L. Quinn, Evelyn J. Fisher Sep 1975

Congestive Cardiomyopathy As An End Stage Of Toxoplasma Myocarditis, Mohsin Alam, Wolf F. C. Duvernoy, Edward L. Quinn, Evelyn J. Fisher

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Congestive cardiomyopathy is a clinical entity which may be due to many different etiologies in addition to the primary type. The case presented defines the etiology in a 30-year-old patient as previous acute toxoplasma myocarditis. This diagnosis was corroborated by diagnostic rise of fluorescent antibody and Sabin-Feldman dye test titers and response to specific therapy. Toxoplasmosis has to be considered among the causes of congestive cardiomyopathy.

Therapists Or Helpers? Notes On A Youth-Type Free Clinic, Michael W. Agopian, Robert W. Dellinger, Gilbert Geis Jul 1975

Therapists Or Helpers? Notes On A Youth-Type Free Clinic, Michael W. Agopian, Robert W. Dellinger, Gilbert Geis

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper builds upon a helpful typology of free clinics that divides then into four major kinds - the street, neighborhood, youth, and sponsored. While the typology tends to weave among characteristics of clientele, locale, and source of support in setting up its units, it nonetheless has the advantage of being based on an empirical assessment of the major forms of clinic operations through the country. Youth clinics - the type that particularly concerns us here - are defined as "generally organized by adults, service clubs, or official boards... because of their concern about drug use among high school students." …

Client Costs And Early Discontinuance From A Community-Based Treatment Program, Ronald A. Feldman, Mortimer Goodman, John S. Wodarski, Wallace J. Gingerich Jul 1975

Client Costs And Early Discontinuance From A Community-Based Treatment Program, Ronald A. Feldman, Mortimer Goodman, John S. Wodarski, Wallace J. Gingerich

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

In social work circles client withdrawal from a treatment program commonly has been labeled as "discontinuance". Discontinuance rates have been inordinately high for both casework and group work endeavors, ranging in some instances to 59Z of all clients following the first interview (Aronson and Overall, 1966; Empey and Erickson, 1972; Goldstein, Heller, and Sechrest, 1966; Levinger, 1960; Overall and Aronson, 1963). Discontinuance represents an obvious and essential concern for social work for one overarching reason, to wit, treatment interventions cannot be implemented should the client(s) withdraw from the therapeutic relationship. Additionally, as some investigators have shown, discontinuance represents a focal …

Amikacin: Clinical And Laboratory Studies, Erwin J. Haas, T. Madhavan, Evelyn J. Fisher, Frank Cox, Keith Burch, Edward L. Quinn, Richard D. Nichols

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Amikacin was evaluated in vitro against S aureus and a variety of gram negative bacilli. In concentrations of 12.5 μg/ml or less, it suppressed the growth of all organisms except 15% of Proteus mirabilis. Peak serum levels in patients, following a 7.5 mg/kg IM dose, averaged 21 μg/ml at one hour. Most of the drug appeared in the urine during the first six hours after administration. Of six patients receiving an adequate course of treatment, all but one were cured. Treatment in that patient also failed with a subsequent course of gentamicin and carbenicillin and he was cured only by …
