Informed Consent And Medical Experimentation, George H. Martin Jr. Apr 1975

Informed Consent And Medical Experimentation, George H. Martin Jr.

IUSTITIA

Certain biomedical technologies already or almost already with us "threaten to reduce the meaning of man and to degrade the human spirit in the very process of becoming technologically feasible, long before the final stage of deployment and widespread use has been reached." It is this threat that has prompted me to consider certain medical and legal problems associated broadly with the human experimentation process. I shall be examining the concept of "informed consent" to both experimental medical therapy and nontherapeutic scientific experimentation as a means of protecting man from the potential ravages of a zealous application of scientific advances …

Pesticide Regulation And The Farm Worker, R. Craig Loveless Apr 1975

Pesticide Regulation And The Farm Worker, R. Craig Loveless

IUSTITIA

It has long been recognized that many pesticide products offer a potential hazard, which if unregulated, may result in injury or death. The development of highly toxic pesticides during the last decade has created a need for stricter regulation of pesticide use in the agricultural community. Specifically, the farm worker of today is in need of legislative protection from exposure to deadly chemical agents now being used to control pests and disease in the fields and orchards. Regulating the handling and use of these dangerous pesticides is but one way to protect the farmer, the farm worker, and the environment. …

Fiberoptic Colonoscopic Polypectomies, Thomas A. Fox Jr., Bernard Schuman, Hubert M. Allen, E. Escobar Mar 1975

Fiberoptic Colonoscopic Polypectomies, Thomas A. Fox Jr., Bernard Schuman, Hubert M. Allen, E. Escobar

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The development of fiberoptic instruments which permit direct visualization of the entire colonic lumen has made possible the safe removal of polyps from any part of the colon. The avoidance of transabdominal colotomy and polypectomy significantly decreases the mortality and morbidity as well as the duration of hospital stay. We wish to present our experience in performing the endoscopic removal of 128 colonic polyps larger than 0.5 cm in size in 103 patients, located from the cecum to the sigmoid colon and beyond the reach of the rigid sigmoidoscope. The polypectomy procedures via the colonoscope were done without mortality and …

Penicillin-Resistant Viridans Streptococcus Endocarditis Related To The Administration Of Penicillin G Or Carbenicillin And Alterations In Mouth Flora, Keith Burch, Edward L. Quinn, Donald Romig, Frank Cox, Evelyn Fisher, T. Madhavan Mar 1975

Penicillin-Resistant Viridans Streptococcus Endocarditis Related To The Administration Of Penicillin G Or Carbenicillin And Alterations In Mouth Flora, Keith Burch, Edward L. Quinn, Donald Romig, Frank Cox, Evelyn Fisher, T. Madhavan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Of 135 patients with streptococcal (non-group D) endocarditis seen at the Henry Ford Hospital (1957-1973), 133 had isolates which were penicillin- sensitive (inhibited by ≤ 0.2 μg/ml of penicillin C). The remaining two causative organisms were inhibited by 0.8 μg/ml of penicillin G and both of the infected patients received antibiotics just prior to the onset of endocarditis. The first patient received oral penicillin C for rheumatic fever prophylaxis and the second high dose parenteral carbenicillin. Using high dose parenteral therapy with ampicillin and streptomycin, the first patient was cured while the other patient relapsed. The second patient responded to …

Kidney Cortex Lysosomal Acid Proteinase Activity During Induction Of A Protein-Losing Nephropathy With The Aminonucleoside Of Puromycin, Paul D. Bartlett, Laura Katona Mar 1975

Kidney Cortex Lysosomal Acid Proteinase Activity During Induction Of A Protein-Losing Nephropathy With The Aminonucleoside Of Puromycin, Paul D. Bartlett, Laura Katona

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Effects have been studied of induction of aminonucleoside-nephrosis in the rat on kidney cortex lysosomal acid proteinase activity (pH 3.2) and on such activity in the cytosol from which the lysosomes were isolated. In parallel with the onset of the massive proteinuria of the disease process but not preceding this effect, activity in the cytosol fraction was significantly increased. Significantly increased activity in the lysosomal fraction, on the other hand, was not observed until the proteinuria was well-established. Comparative study of the release of acid proteinase activity, from intact lysosomes isolated from normal and from aminonucleoslde-nephrotic rat kidneys, suggest-in the …

In Vivo Quantitation Of Adipose Tissue By Differential Absorptiometry Using Penetrating Isotopic Radiation, Luther E. Preuss, Frank B. Bolin, Claudius K. Bugenis Mar 1975

In Vivo Quantitation Of Adipose Tissue By Differential Absorptiometry Using Penetrating Isotopic Radiation, Luther E. Preuss, Frank B. Bolin, Claudius K. Bugenis

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The physical principles for determining tissue lipid content In vivo by selective radiation attenuation have been studied and are compared to other methods of body composition analysis. Two penetrating photon beams, each monoenergetic but of differing energies, are simultaneously passed through the low Z components of tissue and the relative beam absorption measured. A mathematical function incorporating the unabsorbed and absorbed photon beam intensities is applied to determine experimentally the relative proportion of fat and lean in the tissue. '"Cd is used as the radioactive source of both xrays and gamma radiation. Results of experiments on low 2 phantom material …

Patient Factors Limiting Success Of Cancer Detection, Dean R. Goplerud Jan 1975

Patient Factors Limiting Success Of Cancer Detection, Dean R. Goplerud

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has established as one of its goals for the next decade the reduction of mortality from breast and pelvic cancer by 50%. Radiation therapy and surgery are the main modalities of treatment for most genital cancers. These modalities have advanced to the level of diminishing returns. Immunotherapy is in its infancy, and chemotherapy is presently used mainly for palliation and for prolongation of life except for a few malignancies, choriocarcinoma being the classic example.

Introduction, Klaus Ranniger

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

During my residency at the University of Chicago twenty years ago, I performed the few diagnostic studies employing radioactive isotopes as a "sideline," spending a couple of hours each day in the laboratory. Nuclear Medicine since then has grown into a vast field incorporating in vitro studies, in vivo procedures, and treatment with radioactive isotopes.

Use Of Bone Scanning And Skeletal Radiography In The Diagnosis Of Bone Metastasis, Jay C. Mall, Paul B. Hoffer Jan 1975

Use Of Bone Scanning And Skeletal Radiography In The Diagnosis Of Bone Metastasis, Jay C. Mall, Paul B. Hoffer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The radionuclide bone scan is becoming increasingly useful for evaluating a wide variety of bone and joint disorders. However, the commonest application is still the detection of skeletal metastases in the patient with known or suspected neoplastic disease. The role of this examination relative to other well established methods of evaluating these patients, especially the radiographic skeletal survey, is not clear to all physicians. We hope in this communication to define the role of the radionuclide bone scan and to place in perspective the integral relationship between the "scan" and the "survey," the two radiologic modalities which today are the …

Practical Office Therapy Of Hypertension, A. Jarrell Paper Jan 1975

Practical Office Therapy Of Hypertension, A. Jarrell Paper

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Because of the sheer number of patients and because of their location, the community practitioner is in a position to deal with the vast majority of problems that occur in hypertension. The trend in hypertension therapy is toward individualizing the work-up of the hypertensive patient, which with many patients can be very simple. When emphasizing aspects of practical office care of the hypertensive, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: what exactly is the blood pressure? There is not any one universally accepted definition of hypertension. Until such a one is adopted, we have put together a …

Asthma In Adults, James P. Baker Jan 1975

Asthma In Adults, James P. Baker

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Asthma, or acute reversible obstructive airways disease (ROAD), is a major respiratory disease affecting approximately eight million people in the United States. The disease is characterized by attacks of wheezing dyspnea with coughing and sputum production. Although most adult patients who have the disease demonstrate either bronchospastic episodes during childhood or will have repeated episodes of respiratory infection, upper and lower or both during early years, some patients do begin only in later life, that is, adult onset asthma. All of these patients usually have no symptoms or signs during interval periods, but with proper stimuli will demonstrate airways obstruction.

Sprains And Strains, Robert W. Waddel Jan 1975

Sprains And Strains, Robert W. Waddel

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The management of sprains and strains is not difficult. A history of the mechanism of injury is invaluable in determining what structures might have been injured. Careful examination with particular attention being paid to abnormal motion is essential. Stress x-rays should always be made if there is a question as to whether or not the injury is severe enough to be classified as a third-degree injury. Once the injury has been graded, management presents no particular problem.

Diagnostic Use Of Radionuclides In Diseases Of The Thyroid, Alton R. Sharpe Jr. Jan 1975

Diagnostic Use Of Radionuclides In Diseases Of The Thyroid, Alton R. Sharpe Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Since the introduction of radionuclides into clinical medicine, a number of specific tests have been designed to test thyroid function and to diagnose disease of the thyroid gland. These studies can be broadly grouped into in vivo and in vitro studies. Using 131I and 125I , tests have been designed to measure thyroid function at the hypothalamic, pituitary, or thyroid level and at the peripheral level by radioimmunoassay or radioassay of circulating thyroid hormones. The following schema of testing may be used to assess thyroid function.

Introduction, Fitzhugh Mayo

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Since the awakening of the public and the medical educational establishment to the growing deficit of appropriately trained physicians to deliver primary care in the community, attention is now turned to the provision of educational programs appropriate for such physicians at the graduate and continuing educational levels. In the past, the inability to measure outcomes of patient care systems (that is, to use the scientific method in community settings) has hampered the union of the educational system with that of patient care. Many studies now are showing that outcomes are profoundly affected by communication and compliance between physician and patient. …

The Endocrinologic Evaluation Of Amenorrhea, Charles B. Hammond, R. Herbert Wiebe, Lee Tyrey, David Schomberg Jan 1975

The Endocrinologic Evaluation Of Amenorrhea, Charles B. Hammond, R. Herbert Wiebe, Lee Tyrey, David Schomberg

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The purpose of this paper is to review the endocrinologic evaluation of 58 patients who presented to our institution this past year with a chief complaint of absent or irregular menses. The primary goal for presenting these patients is to review the results of several newer studies as well as older and more classical studies which are useful in the differential diagnosis of amenorrhea. Such newer studies not only take advantage of the more current knowledge of the ovulatory process but also utilize recently developed and highly sensitive techniques of hormonal assay. It is hoped that this will provide the …

Interpretation Of Cerebral Dynamic Perfusion Studies, Frank H. Deland Jan 1975

Interpretation Of Cerebral Dynamic Perfusion Studies, Frank H. Deland

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

As stated earlier, increased, decreased, or no change in perfusion does contribute to the differential evidence in the diagnosis of cerebral lesions. For example, a 40-year-old man developed right-sided symptoms over a period of several months. The static images revealed an area of increased activity of the left cerebral hemisphere, limited to the cortex, and correlated with the configuration of the rolandic branch of the left-middle cerebral artery. From the static images the lesions was interpreted as a possible arteriovenous malformation, or as a lesser possibility, a progressive stroke. The dynamic study demonstrated early concentration of radioactivity in the correct …

Introduction, Leo J. Dunn

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Few areas in medicine can equal the rapid proliferation of information that has occurred and continues to occur in the area of human reproduction. The progress in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms which control the human female reproductive system has led to an ever-increasing refinement in the definition of pathologic states and the development of specific, effective therapeutic agents for some of these. It is clear that not all is yet known and that there is need for repetitive reassessment of our knowledge in order to keep abreast of these rapid discoveries. Pregnancy, once achieved, is subject to yet …
