Observations On The Biology, Anatomy, And Morphology Of Otobius Lagophilus Cooley And Kohls, C. Selby Herring, D Elden Beck

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The principal objective of this study is to bring up to date information on geographic distribution, seasonal occurrence, and host-parasite relationship of O. lagophilus in western North America. Notes on life history and disease transmission potential are included.

Data and information were obtained from three sources: (1) natural history collections and field records at Brigham Young University over the past twenty years; (2) the Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Hamilton, Montana; and (3) published literature.

All available collection records are presented in a table from which information on geographic distribution, seasonal occurrence, and host-parasite relationship was extracted. O. lagophilus is known …

Current Literature: Titles And Abstracts, Catholic Physicians' Guilds

The Linacre Quarterly

The purpose of this department in The Linacre Quarterly is to make available by titular listing such current articles as are thought to be of particular interest to the Catholic physician by virtue of their medical literature although, of necessity, this source is the most fruitful. When abstracts appear, they are intended to reflect the content of the original article. Parenthetical editorial comment may follow the abstract if considered desirable. Contributions from readers are invited.

Tenebrionidae Beetles Of The Nevada Test Site, Vasco M. Tanner, Willis A. Packham

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The intent of this study conducted over a period of three years was to ( 1 ) provide descriptions of the species of tenebrionids found at the Nevada Test Site, (2) determine their relative abundance, (3) determine their seasonal activity, and (4) ascertain their plant community relationships.

A total of 14,650 beetles representing 46 kinds of tenebrionids was collected with sunken can traps, by hand, and ultra-violet light. Collections were made at regular intervals in the following plant communities: Larrea-Franseria, Lycium, Atriplex-Kochia, Grayia-Lycium (disturbed and undisturbed areas), Salsola, Coleogyne, Pinyon-Juniper, and Mixed.

The data obtained from this study indicate that …

Electron Microscopic Observations Of Human Leucocytes: Ii. Appearance In Naturally Occurring Fevers, Fairfield Goodale Jr., Elizabeth A. Hillman, Ralston Fillmore

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

When human leucocytes are artificially stimulated in vivo or in vitro by a bacterial pyrogen, they release, without destroying themselves, a pyrogenic substance that differs chemically and biologically from the original bacterial pyrogen (Snell et al., 1956; Cranston et al., 1956). Although leucocytic pyrogen has not been seen, or at least recognized, by light or phase microscope, a finely granular extracellular material is consistently visible by electron microscope in artificially stimulated leucocyte preparations that we know to be pyrogenic (Goodale, Fillmore, and Hillman, 1962). We are reasonably certain that the granular material is a genuine cellular product in response to …

On The Mathematical Basis Of Medical Diagnosis, Malcolm E. Turner

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Armed with an overwhelming accumulation of data about disease, how can we ensure that they will all be employed effectively to make a correct diagnosis in a particular patient? The use of electronic computers can be of some help in the collation, correlation, storage, and communication of the accumulated information, but we must be careful in instructing the machinery so we will not one day find a monster whose behavior is unpredictable. A reasonable procedure would be to analyse our own thought processes carefully to ascertain how the human diagnostician arrives at his conclusions. The matter is certainly not settled …

The Need For Change In Medical Education, Fairfield Goodale Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The key to tomorrow's medical practice lies, not in the development of better clinical artisans, but in the development of clinicians who can interpret disease through application of the basic sciences. A medical curriculum at a graduate student level, based on patient-centered teaching with strong and continuous basic science correlation, could provide such clinician-scientists.

An Approach To Medical Education: The Medical College Of Virginia School Of Medicine Curriculum, Edwin F. Rosinski

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

After a relatively long interval in which the status quo was maintained, in the early 1950's American medical schools began to reappraise their educational programs. Many shortcomings of medical education which now have been corrected were cited as early as 1946. The Medical College of Virginia began a detailed study of its educational program. A curriculum has been designed and initiated, using the subject matter committee approach. The curriculum provides opportunity for electives, research, and free time. In conjunction with the revised curriculum, changes in grading procedures, examinations, and teaching methods have been made. A study to assess the effects …

Physiological Basis Of The Radioisotope Renogram, Louis D. Homer, Hermes A. Kontos, Joseph Magee, Malcolm E. Turner, James Oates Iii, Alton Sharpe Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A model elucidating the relationships between blood radioactivity, the renogram curve, and urine radioactivity, as a function of time, is derived. Estimation procedures have been devised which use the data from three curves at once to estimate parameters common to the three curves, and which also estimate parameters unique to the individual curves. A program has been written for the RPC 4000 computer to perform the estimation. It was found that some model in which six different exponential parameters could be justified instead of the two proposed by the model could provide a significantly better fit of the data (P < .001), but that the fit under the hypothesis was still quite good.

Treatment Of Hypertension, Edward D. Freis

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Our ideas about the management of hypertension have changed considerably in recent years. There is now general agreement that all patients with accelerated hypertension, as manifested by high diastolic pressure and Group III and IV funduscopic changes, should have their blood pressure reduced with antihypertensive agents. Differences of opinion still exist, however, in respect to the treatment of the less rapidly advancing types of hypertension. It is apparent that the life history of untreated essential hypertension varies widely from those patients whose lives are cut short in a matter of a few years, to those who survive to old age. …

Clinical Hemodynamics And Pharmacodynamics Of Toxemia, Frank A. Finnerty Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

For many years toxemia has served as a wastebasket for a variety of disease states characterized by an elevated arterial pressure, edema, and albuminuria. Whereas this triad is consistent with the diagnosis of toxemia, it is not diagnostic. Besides toxemia, these abnormalities may be found in pregnant patients with hypertensive vascular disease, pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, or any combination of these. Data derived from studies performed on patients with such a variety of disease entities have obviously been confusing. It makes a lot of difference, for example, whether the subjects studied had chronic pyelonephritis or acute vasospastic toxemia. During the past 13 …

The Treatment Of Chronic Uremia, Belding H. Scribner

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I will begin by telling a little about the development of chronic dialysis. In 1959 we were working on a system to prevent uremia in acute renal failure. We were trying to develop a system to which we could "hook" the patient for as long as a week, so that we would exactly mimic his normal kidney function during the period of acute renal failure, and make his prognosis that of a patient who had kidneys. The system worked reasonably well. We had to make a lot of modifications, such as using a Skeggs-Leonard dialyzer with low resistance. We used …
