Phleborheography: A Correlative Study With Venography, Joseph P. Elliott Jr., John H. Hageman, Ann C. Belanger, Roger F. Smith

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The Vascular Laboratory of Henry Ford Hospital has used the Cranley-Grass Phleborheograph (PRG) as the primary noninvasive method to determine the presence or absence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs since December 1977. In order to determine its proper role and clinical reliability, we compared the diagnostic accuracy of phleborheography with contrast venography. From December 1977 through December 1978, 483 cases (963 limbs) were successfully examined by PRG. Ofthese, 111 cases (216 limbs) also had contrast venography. The PRG was confirmed as normal in 151 out of 157 (6 false negatives). There were 53 abnormal PRCs, with …

Glucose Phosphate Isomerase Deficiency: Unusual Acute Hemolytic Crisis In A Middle-Aged Woman, Koichi Maeda, Sheikh M. Saeed, Raymond W. Monto, Ernest Beutler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hereditary hemolytic anemia associated with glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) deficiency was first reported in 1967. Since then, about 30 cases have been reported in the literature; their ages ranged between 1 and 26 years. We present a case of glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency in a 56-year-old woman. Steroid therapy seemed to resolve our patient's acute stage. Since it has not been mentioned previously, further evaluation is necessary. Consideration of this deficiency may be helpful in investigating hemolytic anemia, regardless of the patient's age.

Intensity Of The Second Heart Sound: Relation Of Physical, Physiological And Anatomic Factors To Auscultatory Evaluation, Paul D. Stein, Hani Sabbah

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The intensity of the heart sound depends upon: 1) the distensibility of the aortic and pulmonary valves; 2) hemodynamic factors that cause the valves to distend and vibrate; 3) viscosity of the blood and its ability to inhibit diastolic valve motion; 4) the configuration of the aorta, pulmonary artery, and ventricle and the ability of the walls of the great vessels and ventricles to absorb or reflect sound energy; and 5) the capability of sound to be transmitted to the chest wall. Recognizing how these physical, physiological, and anatomic factors interact can help us to interpret auscultation of the intensity …

A Selective Approach To Bleeding Esophageal Varices, Glyn G. Jamieson, Irwin B. Faris, John Ludbrook

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

It is possible that the best results of treatment for bleeding esophageal varices will come when a selective approach is used. In patients bleeding acutely and in patients with poor liver function shunt operations should be avoided, and a direct attack on the varices with either sclerosant therapy, percutaneous obliteration, or staple gun gastro-esophageal transsection should be carried out. In patients who have stopped bleeding, or those in whom elective treatment is being undertaken, the best operation at present appears to be selective distal splenorenal shunt.

A Technique For Physiologically Age-Grading Female Stable Flies, Stomoxys Calcitrans (L.), P. J. Scholl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

A method of dissection followed by staining was initiated to allow physiological age- grading based on ovarian development in order to more completely describe the physiological development of adult female stable flies [Stomoxys calcitrans (L. )]. The gonotrophic developmental continuum from a non-differentiated cell in teneral females to mature eggs at the time of oviposition was first arbitrarily divided into six stages by using distinct landmarks within the developing oocyte . Then, nulliparous, uniparous, and biparous+ females were differentiated on the basis of the presence or absence of stained follicular relics in the ovariole sheaths. The combination of the …

An Investigation Of Relaxation Training Effects And Generality Using Biofeedback And Verbal Instructions, John W. Kesselring

Masters Theses

Training and self-control conditions within each session were incorporated in a multiple Baseline design with replications across subjects. The generality of relaxation skills acquired through relaxation training to a self-control condition where the subjects relaxed without assistance was assessed. EMG biofeedback was initially employed as a training technique; however, it was not effective in assisting the subjects to relax. A training procedure using verbal instructions was then introduced to replace the biofeedback. Verbal instructions were effective in assisting the subjects to relax, and the relaxation skills tended to show generality to the self-control condition. To assess the effects of the …

Effects Of Short-Term Residence At High Altitude On Heart Rate, Arterial Pressure And Physical Performance, Jin-Shin Lai, I-Nan Lien

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The effects of short-term residence at high altitude on cardiopulmonary functions at rest and during exercise have been reported, but the change of maximal physical performance on return from altitude is not well established yet. In this study the authors tried to make clear the difference of heart rate, arterial pressure, and physical performance between sea-level and at high altitude of over 3,650 m. Besides, there was an attempt to investigate the effects of short-term residence at high altitude on cardio-pulmonary functions and physical performance on return from high altitude.Twenty-five young healthy men aged from 17 to 38 years were …

A Study On Recovery From Aphasia, Tao-Chang Hsu, Yuh-Mei Chung, Show-Er Lee

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Fifty-nine cases of aphasia, who had received speech evaluation and were followed up 3 to 6 months after treatment, were divided into four overlapping groups for evaluation. Attempts were made to determine the existence of a critical spontaneous recovery period, the effects of patient age and education level and severity of the disease on recovery form aphasia and the efficacy of speech therapy. The following conclusions were made:1. The first 6 months after onset of aphasia was an important period for spontaneous recovery. 2. The age of the patients was correlated with recovery rates; the younger the patient the higher …

Sensory Nerve Conduction Studies Of Patients With Blackfoot Disease, Hsiun-Ing Chen, Shin-Ter Chai, Lily Shaw

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The blackfoot disease is an endemic peripheral vascular disease on the southwestern coast of Taiwan. The initial symptoms are numbness or coldness of one or more of the extremities. In order to see if the sensory nerve conductions were influenced, we measured the radial and/ or sural sensory NCV of the patients in the Tainan Provincial Blackfoot Diseases Center.Within the twenty-five subjects of the radial nerve conduction studies, twenty-two patients had slower NCV and there was one patient whose radial NCV couldn’t be detected; i.e. 92% of the blackfoot disease patients had abnormal radial sensory NCV. Five of twenty-one patients …

Orthostatic Responses Of Blood Pressure, Renin And Aldosterone In Patients With Spinal Transections, Mei-Hue Hsu, I-Nan Lien, Bor-Shen Hsieh, Wan-Yu Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Orthostatic stimulations were performed with a tilt table on 32 patients paralyzed by neurologically complete transections of the spinal cord, of whom 10 had cervical cord lesions and 22 had thoracolumbar cord lesions. The hemodynamic and hormonal responses were compared between the 2 groups. In patients with cervical transactions, a 43.1% reduction in systolic pressure, 52.9% reduction in diastolic pressure and 24.2% increase in heart rate were observed during head-up tilt. Eight (80%) of 10 cases had orthostatic hypotension. A 123.4% increase in plasma rennin activity was also found. On the contrary, patients with thoracolumbar transactions showed significantly less reduction …

The Coronary Distribution Zone : Mathematical Modelling Of The Left Ventricular Epicardial Surface For Area Calculation, Three-Dimensional Rotaton And Display, S. Matts E. Sjölander

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A computer model of the left ventricular (LV) epicardial surface was developed from Jang’s truncated ellipsoidal model, which has a minor to major axis ratio of 6:10. The model was applied in calculating the area of a segment of the myocardium, jeopardized by an impending occlusion of its associated artery. The endangered segment of the LV muscle was also visualized in different projections by rotations in three space and graphical displays simulating the three dimensions.

The area formula for the surface of the ideal model , a truncated prolate spheroid, was derived and used in producing maps for manual calculations …
