Effect Of Normal Menstrual Cycle On Platelet Adhesiveness, Janet Mak Yeung

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Platelet adhesiveness was measured at intervals during the menstrual cycle in six normal females. Three normal males were studied during the .tame period of time to serve as controls. There was a significant difference of the variation of platelet adhesiveness between the two groups during the period of 30 days. Five out of six females showed much greater fluctuation than the males. No definite trend was observed in the platelet adhesiveness of females in relation to the menstrual cycle in this preliminary study. A larger number of samples from the population will be necessary to obtain a more accurate result.

Mixed Gonadal Stroma Cell Tumor Of The Testicle: A Case Report, Gerald B. Farrow, Arthur J. Johnson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A specialized gonadal stromal tumor of mixed nature found in a 20-year-old Negro male is reported. Although the tumor had been present for six to seven years, there was no evidence of metastases or of hormonal imbalance. Reference is made to the confusing nomenclature of these rare tumors.

Spectacular Elevations Of Serum Alkaline Phosphatase: Clinical And Pathological Correlation Roy B., Roy B. Patton

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The diseases responsible for extremely high serum alkaline phosphatase aclivily in 45 patients were proliferative bone disease (10 patients) and hepato-biliary tract disease (35 patients). Conditions found in these patients that are not usually thought to cause such high phosphatase levels were: drug-induced cholestasis (6 patients), non-malignant extra-hepatic bile duct obstruction (3 patients), biliary or portal cirrhosis (5 patients), and primary hyperparathyroidism with generalized osteitis fibrosa (1 patient).

The Hypocalcemic Effects Of Actinomycin D And Mithramycin, Eduardo L. Reyes, Robert W. Talley

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Both actinomycin D and mithramycin are useful agents in the treatment of cancer. They can also produce hypocalcemia, a comparatively rare phenomenon in cancer. Two such cases are presented in detail. Neither patient had the classic symptoms of hypocalcemia. Instead, the clinical picture was more compatible with hypercalcemia. The mechanism of action of each drug is explained; therapeutic implications are made with regards to their synergistic effects when used in combination with the standard calcium-lowering agents. Attention is drawn to the inhibitory action of these two agents on the calcium-mobilizing effect of the parathyroid hormone. The hypocalcemic effects of these …

Osteological And Mylogical Comparisons Of The Head And Thorax Regions Of Cnemidophorus Tigris Septentrionalis Burger And Ameiva Undulata Parva Barbour And Nobel (Family Teiidae), Don Lowell Fisher, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The anterior osteological elements of the skull, lower jaw, and wrist along with the anterior myological characters discussed and figured in this report suggest that A. u. parva and C. t. septentrionalis are members of distinct groups which can be differentiated by internal morphologic characters. Although comparisons were restricted to highly geographically separated individuals of the same family, their general body form and structure appear to be similar.

A great number of anatomical structures are shared in common, but the significant differences between them include:

1. General skull appearance. The skull of C. is generally lighter, that is the bones …

In Vitro Kidney Preservation Techniques, S. G. Dienst

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The advantages of adding hyperbaria, low flow perfusion, and protein colloid to hypothermia at 0° C for kidney preservation are described. The possibilities of longer preservation at higher temperatures are discussed.

Pinyon-Juniper Succession After Natural Fires On Residual Soils Of Mesa Verde, Colorado, James A. Erdman

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

A mountain brush vegetation typified by Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii) and serviceberry (Amelanchier utahensis) dominates the uplands of Mesa Verde National Park. There is evidence that this brush element is a successional stage that has been maintained by repeated natural fires in a large part of the Mesa Verde landscape. This study was conducted to determine the role of fire in the region's ecology, the nature of the climax pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) and Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) vegetation, and the major successional stages that lead to the climax condition.

Hypophyseal Growth Hormone: I. Control Of Secretion, M. Saeed Zafar, Raymond C. Mellinger, Lewis B. Morrow

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Growth hormone (GH) is a major hormone of the anterior pituitary gland. Once established, its secretion continues throughout life. GH was first recognized in 1866 as a factor controlling growth. More recently, it has been demonstrated as a vital regulator of fat, carboyhdrate and protein metabolism. In fact, GH influence on the intermediary metabolism is the major mechanism by which growth and development are regulated. Numerous hormonal and nonhormonal factors have been shown to modify the basic pattern of GH synthesis and secretion. In this article we have reviewed some of these nonhormonal factors.

Surreptitious Ingestion Of Oral Anticoagulants, Thomas H. Greidanus, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Raymond W. Monto

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hypoprothrombinemia secondary to surreptitious ingestion of coumarin or indanedione anticoagulants may be a difficult diagnosis for the unsuspecting physician. Four such case reports are presented. The disease should be suspected if the prothrombin time is markedly elevated and the individual is associated with the medical profession or has had previous treatment with oral anticoagulants. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding a deficiency in Factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X and the presence of the coumarin or indanedione anticoagulant in the blood. The motive generally is that of gaining attention rather than committing suicide. Liver disease. Vitamin K deficiency states …

Double Contrast Arthrography Of The Knee, Peter C. Larowe, Robert S. Ormond, Edwin Guise

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Arthrography is a safe and relatively simple diagnostic procedure which provides an accurate and graphic preoperative means of defining pathology of the knee. In those cases where the expeditious evaluation and diagnosis of knee injury are of prime importance, ie, the athlete and industrial compensation case, arthrography provides a significant contribution. The clinical pathological features, salient anatomy and technic of study of internal derangements of the knee are discussed. Selected double contrast arthrograms illustrate normal and abnormal findings. Arthrotomies were performed in 20 of the 32 patients in this study with a positive arthrogram-arthrotomy correlation of 85%.

Immunologic Status Of Uremic Patients, Gerald A. Logrippo, C. E. Rupe, Hajime Hayashi, Dean Lesher

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunologic status of 25 uremic patients was studied with a battery of tests evaluating the humoral and cytological aspects of immunity. The individual's humoral immune status was evaluated as follows: quantitation of the three major serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) expressed in mg/100 ml of serum and compared to established normal clinical standards (±2 SD/mean); qualitation of IgG and IgM evaluated by specific virus antibody titers and antitoxin values associated with IgG and by isoagglutinin tilers of the ABO blood groups associated with IgM. Immunoglobulin status is grouped into hyper- and hypo-immunoglobulin variations from normal and correlated with …

Cephalexin: In Vitro And In Vivo Studies, Frank Cox Jr., Edward L. Quinn, Bienvenido G. Gatmaitan, Nancy Peterson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cephalexin, a derivative of cephalosporin C, produces high serum and urine concentrations after oral administration. In addition, it shows good activity in vitro against most gram-positive and some gram-negative organisms. This study reports the in vitro susceptibility to cephalexin of a series of clinical isolates, the serum levels and urine concentrations in human volunteers and the results of its use in infections due to susceptible organisms. Results of in vitro susceptibility testing reveal that cephalexin was effective against most strains of the gram-positive organisms tested — group A streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci — although the MIC's are higher than those …

Surgical Treatment Of Portal Hypertension: Review Of Henry Ford Hospital Experience, Joseph P. Elliott Jr., Kian H. Wong, Roger F. Smith

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Of 146 operations performed for the complications of portal hypertension in the Henry Ford Hospital between 1927 and August 31, 1969, 114 were portasystemic shunts. Operative mortality, sequelae and long term survival were closely related to the state of the patients' liver function and the urgency of operation.
