Mites Of The Family Laelapidae In Venezuela (Acarina: Laelapidae), Deane P. Furman

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This publication presents the results of an extensive survey of symbiotic laelapid mites of vertebrates from Venezuela. Over 40,000 vertebrates were examined from a wide variety of life zones and localities. The laelapid fauna represented includes 1 new genus, Hymenolaelpas, and 7 genera previously described: Laelaps, Mysolaelaps, Tur, Steptolaelaps, Neoparalaelaps, Gigantolaelaps, and Androlaelaps. The genera are represented by 51 species and subspecies, of which 8 are described as new. Previously unknown males and immatures of several species are described. Gigantolaelaps versteegi ( Oudemans ) is redescribed from type material; G. wolffsohni (Oudemans) is redescribed from Oudemans’ original material; G. peruviana …

Venezuelan Nycteribiid Batflies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae), Lindolpho R. Guimarães

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Eleven species of Nycteribiidae, all belonging to the genus Basilia, are reported from Venezuela. Of these, two (tuttlei and typhlops) are described as new and four (anomala, dubia, juquiensis, and tiptoni) are recorded for the first time. B. anomala is the first species with three tergal plates to be found in South America. Synonymies, previous localities, and host records are given for all species, as well as new records and comments. Geographical distribution and host-parasite associations are discussed. Field parties of the Smithsonian Venezuelan Project obtained the material on which this paper is based.

Nonparasitic Cysts Of The Liver: Analysis Of 36 Cases And Review Of Modern Diagnostic Techniques, Victor Lawoyin, Robert J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A review is presented of 36 cases of nonparasitic cysts of the liver. These are uncommon and had been difficult to diagnose clinically. Diagnosis has usually been made by post-mortem examination and by surgery. Attention is focused on the merits of modern diagnostic methods to differentiate cystic from solid tumors of the liver. These methods include radioisotope scanning, ultrasonography, and abdominal arteriography.

Gout And Arterial Thrombosis, Frank J. Viozzi, Gilbert B. Bluhm, Jeanne M. Riddle

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Two hundred and eighty patients with primary gout diagnosed between the years 1959-64 at Henry Ford Hospital were studied to determine the frequency of myocardial infarction in the fourth, fifth and sixth decades. The retrospective data correlate with previously published reports of accelerated platelet turnover and our own observation of increased platelet surface activation in patients with gout. The results suggest an increased risk (or myocardial infarction before age 50 in patients with primary gout; this merits prospective study. The finding of increased platelet surface activation in patients with gout may provide an insight into the pathophysiology of the apparent …

Current Tests For Tubal Patency: Their Study And Comparison, Asghar Afsari, Robert J. Thompson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Two hundred patients have been reviewed in whom culdoscopy or laparoscopy was performed for infertility study. During these two procedures, methylene blue was injected through an endocervical cannula for detection of tubal patency under direct visualization. When compared with 89 patients tested by utero-tubal insufflation and hystero-salpingography, results indicated that direct visualization of the tubes and dye hydrotubation appears to be the most reliable method. HSG proved to be the second most reliable method with a failure rate of 19.2%. The least accurate procedure in this study was UTI with CO₂ gas, where the failure rate was 24.7%. The …

Inhibition Of Kidney Mitochondrial Monoamine Oxidase Activity By The Nephrosis-Producing Aminonucleoside Of Puromycin, Paul Bartlett, Mei-Hwa Tu, Kathleen Ashworth

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Intraperitoneal administration in rats of a single large injection of the potent nephrotogenic aminonucleoside,6-dimethylamino-9-(3'-amino-3' =deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-purine, resulted in striking reductions in kidney cortex mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity, assayed on tyramine substrate The alterations in enzymatic activity correlated remarkably well with the onset and development of the massive proteinuria characteristic of the disease. The inhibitory effects were also produced in vitro, and Lineweaver-Burk reciprocal plots were clearly indicative of non-competitive inhibition. It is suggested that aminonucleoside inhibition of kidney mitochondrial MAO activity may be a biochemical lesion in the primary step of GBM collagen cross-link formation, whereby collagen fibrillogenesis is impaired …

Biopsy-Proven Amebic Colitis Treated With Metronidazole, Frederick R. Bode, Earl J. Van Volkinburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Amebiasis was diagnosed in a Vietnam veteran and treated in a conventional manner with diodoquin and tetracycline. Symptoms persisted over the next three and one-half years despite repeated courses of diodoquin. Amebic colitis was confirmed by biopsy through a sigmoidoscope. The patient then received a ten-day course of metronidazole (Flagyl). Studies are cited proving this single agent is the drug of choice in the oral therapy of all clinical forms of amebiasis.

Preoperative Teaching And Its Relationship To Postoperative Recovery, Eleanor Wiese

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of the study was to find out whether an organized, preoperative teaching program would make a difference in patient recovery from intra-abdominal surgery.

A review of literature served as a guide in defining the needs of patients and in developing class content. An outline, which included deep breathing, coughing, turning, bed exercises and what to expect, was made for the class. Nine slides were developed specifically for the teaching sessions. To reinforce the teaching, a handout was given to each patient.

It was hypothesized that the experimental group of patients would require less pain medication, develop fewer complications …

Health Status Of Emergency Department Patients, Marjean J. Horning

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to help nursing develop a comprehensive care system for patients in selected emergency departments. To develop such a system, it was necessary to know the characteristics of and the health needs of that population.

The problem of this study was to describe the characteristics and health needs of patients in selected emergency departments.

Patients were interviewed using the Kisch Health Status Proxy (KHSP) and the Health Habits Inventory (HHI) as a guide. The KHSP listed acute and chronic conditions that an individual experienced. It gave a numerical score which rated the respondent in good, …
