Glomerulonephritis, William F. Falls Jr. Jan 1978

Glomerulonephritis, William F. Falls Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this paper the histologic picture of the most common disorders usually classified under the heading of glomerulonephritis will be reviewed, and the subject of angiitis will be briefly addressed. A special effort will be made to relate renal biopsy findings to the immunologically mediated pathogenetic process which is thought to be operative in each case. Where it seems appropriate, a few comments will also be made on clinical and pathological correlations. The specific entities to be covered include: diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis; focal proliferative glomerulonephritis; membranous glomerulonephritis; antibasement membrane antibody disease; rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (crescentic disease); membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis; lipoid nephrosis …

Management Of The Nephrotic Syndrome, Douglas M. Landwehr Jan 1978

Management Of The Nephrotic Syndrome, Douglas M. Landwehr

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The nephrotic syndrome represents one of the major clinical problems in nephrology. It is usually defined as the constellation of clinical findings which includes edema, massive proteinuria, low serum albumin, high serum cholesterol, and the presence of oval fat bodies in the urine. However, if we focus on the primary disturbance in the patient, that is, massive proteinuria, the nephrotic syndrome may be defined more simply as the clinical and metabolic consequences of persistent and massive proteinuria. The other manifestations listed in the classic definition are all inconstant and secondary to this loss of protein and may be found in …

Pre-Columbian Tuberculosis: An Epidemiological Approach, Jane E. Buikstra, Della C. Cook Jan 1978

Pre-Columbian Tuberculosis: An Epidemiological Approach, Jane E. Buikstra, Della C. Cook

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this study we have combined both biological and cultural data in the investigation of resorptive pathology in Woodland and Mississippian skeletal series from west-central Illinois. Information concerning the types of lesions and their distribution confirms the presence of a previously unknown disease in Mississippian populations. Adults and adolescents from Yokem and Schild Mississippian components clearly display cystic vertebral pathology, which in association with other peripheral osseous lesions distinguishes them from earlier groups. This idea is supported indirectly by evidence from both infants and children of the Schild sample.

Attitudes Of Doctor Of Pharmacy Students Toward The Application Of Social And Administrative Pharmacy In Clinical Practice, C. Anderson Johnson, J. Lyle Bootman Jan 1978

Attitudes Of Doctor Of Pharmacy Students Toward The Application Of Social And Administrative Pharmacy In Clinical Practice, C. Anderson Johnson, J. Lyle Bootman

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

Over the past decade, dramatic changes have occurred in the education of pharmacists. A significant factor in this change has been the introduction of clinical pharmacy. The emerging role of the clinical pharmacist has forced educators to take a second look at the relevance of the pharmacy curriculum. In fact, many of the pharmacy disciplines have re-oriented their specific knowledge objectives to meet the needs of today's clinical practitioners.

Introduction, Frederick J. Spencer, Mary-Parke Johnson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

For many years the pathology department at the Medical College of Virginia has been an important center for studies in paleopathology. Over the past ten years members of the department have collaborated with numerous investigators both in the United States and abroad, giving seminars and training to physicians, anthropologists, and archaeologists. In the spring of 1977, a symposium was organized at the annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists in Seattle, Washington, to bring together investigators in the area of paleoepidemiology. At this meeting researchers from MCV and other institutions attempted to correlate data from a variety of …

The Management Of End-Stage Renal Disease (Esrd), William F. Falls Jr. Jan 1978

The Management Of End-Stage Renal Disease (Esrd), William F. Falls Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) may be defined as a state of renal insufficiency of such severity that the affected individual is unable to carry out his usual activities because of symptoms usually attributed to the uremic syndrome. This state has been reached, or is imminent, when the serum creatinine concentration rises above 10 mg/100 ml and/or the creatinine clearance falls below 5 to 10 ml/min and reversible causes of renal failure such as obstructive uropathy, bilateral renal vascular disease, severe accelerated hypertension, hypercalcemic nephropathy, uric acid nephropathy, and certain immunologic diseases such as Wegener granulomatosis have been excluded. Prospective analysis …

Cancer And The Kidney, Donald E. Oken Jan 1978

Cancer And The Kidney, Donald E. Oken

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Cancer of the kidney is associated with a bewildering array of extrarenal symptoms, and conversely, tumors far removed from the kidney produce intriguing renal functional abnormalities. A variety of extrarenal complications are seen with hypernephromas, most of which rarely accompany Wilms tumors which grow rapidly and generally occur before the age of 7. Wilms tumors are quite susceptible to radiation therapy and surgery, and are to be strongly suspected when hypertension and an abdominal mass are found in a small child. Unless treated, they rapidly cause death and usually leave little opportunity for the patient to develop the striking extrarenal …

On The Prevention Of Acute Renal Failure (Vasomotor Nephropathy), Donald E. Oken Jan 1978

On The Prevention Of Acute Renal Failure (Vasomotor Nephropathy), Donald E. Oken

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Acute renal failure following severe trauma, shock, transfusion reactions, poisoning, and sepsis is characterized by prolonged oliguria, increasing azotemia, isosthenuria, and a sodium concentration of 40-90 mEq/L. Despite the availability of intensive medical and surgical care, potent antibiotics, and dialysis, this syndrome still carries a mortality rate of approximately 50% and once established cannot be reversed by any known medical regimen. It is, however, often preventable, and the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy of the various prophylactic measures currently in vogue.

The End-Stage Renal Disease Program, William K. Stacy Jan 1978

The End-Stage Renal Disease Program, William K. Stacy

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

By the mid 1960's it had been clearly demonstrated that the lives of people with total, permanent kidney failure could be indefinitely prolonged with the artificial kidney and that an acceptable proportion of kidney transplants would be successful. The extraordinary cost of this form of therapy, however, prohibited its application to the majority of patients. A strong lobby of health care providers and consumers sought government assistance and in the spring of 1972 Congress passed Public Law 92-603 (Section 2991) which provided for payment of 80% of costs for management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) for all persons eligible for …

Diabetic Nephropathy, Barry B. Kirschbaum Jan 1978

Diabetic Nephropathy, Barry B. Kirschbaum

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Any discussion of morbid events in diabetes is going to emphasize cardiovascular and peripheral vascular problems. Renal disease accounts for a relatively small percentage of the mortality in diabetes; yet the overall incidence of diabetes mellitus in the population so greatly exceeds that of the various types of glomerulonephritis that it has become one of the most common causes of end-stage renal failure in this country. It is difficult to assign exact numbers because the figures in the medical literature vary considerably; however, it is estimated that in the United States today there are some 10 million people who are …
