Introduction, Klaus Ranniger Jan 1975

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 …

Radionuclide Imaging Evaluation Of The Patient With Trauma, Letty G. Lutzker, Leonard M. Freeman Jan 1975

Radionuclide Imaging Evaluation Of The Patient With Trauma, Letty G. Lutzker, Leonard M. Freeman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Trauma is now a major medical problem. Accidental injuries constitute the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, and the primary cause of death below the age of 37. The costs of immediate medical and surgical care, prolonged hospitalization, and lost productivity amount to several billions of dollars annually.

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 Jan 1975

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 …

Evaluation Of Thyroid Nodules-Hot And Cold, Melvin J. Fratkin Jan 1975

Evaluation Of Thyroid Nodules-Hot And Cold, Melvin J. Fratkin

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Thyroid nodules occur frequently, are more common in women, and the incidence increases with age for both sexes. Clinically normal thyroid glands commonly contain nodules in autopsy series. In 20- to 50-year-old females, as high as 50% of the thyroid glands are nodular, whereas in males the incidence approaches 30%. When the prevalence of clinically palpable thyroid nodules was the objective of the Framingham population researchers, Vander et al detected nodules in 6.4% of females and 1.5% of males aged 30-50 years. Even with diligent, thorough examination of the neck, only about one tenth of pathologically nodular thyroid glands can …

Pitfalls And Artifacts In Nuclear Imaging Studies, Leonard M. Freeman Jan 1975

Pitfalls And Artifacts In Nuclear Imaging Studies, Leonard M. Freeman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In interpreting scintillation images, one often is confronted with a variety of deviations from the typically normal study that need not represent definite pathology. Apart from normal anatomic variants in the position, shape, or configuration of an organ, one must also be prepared to appreciate alterations due to the radiodiagnostic agent employed and aberrations caused by faulty or improperly used instruments. Additionally, physiologic and/or functional changes associated with specific organ studies have provided a major source of error in routine image interpretation. It is the purpose of this article to acquaint (or reacquaint, as the case may be) the reader …

Scintiphotography In Evaluation Of Renal Transplants, Halcott T. Haden Jan 1975

Scintiphotography In Evaluation Of Renal Transplants, Halcott T. Haden

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Renal transplantation has progressed from the research stage to become a standard clinical procedure. Although still generally limited to large medical centers, renal transplants are regularly done in over 135 hospitals in the United States. In 1972, approximately 2,600 renal transplants were recorded in the United States by the Renal Transplant Registry. Approximately 65% of these were cadaver donors and 35% living donors.

Radioimmunologic Methods For Diagnosis Of Malignant Diseases, Paul B. Hoffer Jan 1975

Radioimmunologic Methods For Diagnosis Of Malignant Diseases, Paul B. Hoffer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The recent availability of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) assay has stimulated great clinical interest in tumor antigens. Carcinoembryonic antigen is not the only specific or tumor-associated antigen currently identified. There are a number of other tumor antigens which have been isolated, some of which are related to CEA and some of which are totally different. There is, for example, a nonspecific cross-reacting antigen (NCA) which has been discovered in certain preparations which were considered originally to be CEA. Nonspecific cross-reacting antigen is a beta globulin (25% carbohydrate) which cross-reacts with antibodies to CEA and may be the nonspecific background element …

Modern Management Of Diabetic Pregnancies, Elsie R. Carrington Jan 1975

Modern Management Of Diabetic Pregnancies, Elsie R. Carrington

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

On a broad national basis, it should be quite possible to substantially reduce maternal morbidity and the disproportionately high numbers of perinatal losses associated with diabetic pregnancies. Nationwide, the overall perinatal mortality rate for this group is approximately 20%, which is at least double that incurred in centers where intensive care facilities and personnel are available, and consistent, well-coordinated care by the health team is provided. Although the prognosis for fetal survival is less favorable with advances in severity of the diabetic state, there is a significant risk even during the mildest stage of the disease. Careful prospective studies, notably …

Amenorrhea Due To Defects In Steroid Biosynthesis, H. Oliver Williamson, Rajesh S. Mathur Jan 1975

Amenorrhea Due To Defects In Steroid Biosynthesis, H. Oliver Williamson, Rajesh S. Mathur

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Amenorrhea as the first manifestation of a steroid biosynthetic defect is rather unusual. The common forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia are classic examples of steroid biosynthetic defects. Yet in genotypic females, this disorder is usually evident from birth because of virilization. Effective treatment usually ensues and amenorrhea is only a problem when control is inadequate. However, there are individuals whose disorder will be manifest for the first time in the postnatal or adult period. In addition, multiple other steroid defects have now been clearly delineated. Many of these individuals will have amenorrhea, virilization, or sexual ambiguities as part of the …

Radical Hysterectomy For Carcinoma Of The Cervix, John J. Mikuta Jan 1975

Radical Hysterectomy For Carcinoma Of The Cervix, John J. Mikuta

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Radical hysterectomy refers to the removal of the uterus and cervix and, in addition, to the removal of the upper one-half to one-third of the vagina, the parametria and the pelvic lymph nodes. This operation, which is commonly called the Wertheim operation, was actually first described by Clark in the United States and Ries in Germany. Wertheim's original operation for carcinoma of the cervix consisted only of a partial parametrial removal and removal of the upper one-third of the vagina. It did not include pelvic lymphadenectomy or the removal of the lateral portions of the parametria.

Some Practical Thoughts On Medical Malpractice, Robert L. Harris Jan 1975

Some Practical Thoughts On Medical Malpractice, Robert L. Harris

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Today more malpractice suits are being filed than ever before. Not only are more suits being filed but the amount of settlements and verdicts has significantly increased. Perhaps one of the primary reasons for this phenomenon is the consumerists movements. Obviously, the more consumer groups advocate consumer protection, and the more that juries render favorable verdicts, the better educated and aware of verdicts the consumer becomes. The result of this is that people become more litigation conscious. In Virginia, medical malpractice litigation appears to be just beginning to flourish in relation to other large urban areas in the North and …
