Surgical Implications Of Intestinal Amebiasis, Eduardo Camacho
Surgical Implications Of Intestinal Amebiasis, Eduardo Camacho
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Three thousand two hundred fifty cases of intestinal amebiasis (25%), out of 13,000 consecutive cases, were studied. It was found that 2,275 (70%) had clinical manifestations of the disease, and 975 (30%) were carriers. From the 2,275 with abdominal signs, 1,250 cases (51%) resembled the clinical picture of the chronic irritable colon syndrome. Antiamebic therapy was effective in all of these cases. On the other hand, 1,255 (49%) had acute and severe manifestations of amebic-ulcerative proctocolitis with serious complications, including amebic granulomata (40 cases or 3.2%) and ulcer perforation (14 cases or 1.2%). Because amebic ulcerative proctocolitis is dangerous, the …
Traumatic Fat Embolism: Recent Clinical Experience In Combined Arterial Injury And Long Bone Fracture, John F. Lee, Roger F. Smith, Joseph P. Elliott Jr.
Traumatic Fat Embolism: Recent Clinical Experience In Combined Arterial Injury And Long Bone Fracture, John F. Lee, Roger F. Smith, Joseph P. Elliott Jr.
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Fat embolization is a frequent accompaniment of long bone fracture; however, this phenomenon only occasionally leads to the clinically recognized traumatic fat embolism syndrome. Three recent cases are presented of fat embolization following long bone fractures and associated with penetrating arterial injury. Consequences illustrated ranged from asymptomatic fat globules in the urine, through serious pulmonary insufficiency, to central nervous system damage with death. Treatment should be directed at effective mechanical ventilatory support to avoid hypoxemia.
Clinical Experience With Radioisotopic Powered Cardiac Pacemakers, Nicholas P. D. Smyth, Tomas Hernandez, Alvin Johnson
Clinical Experience With Radioisotopic Powered Cardiac Pacemakers, Nicholas P. D. Smyth, Tomas Hernandez, Alvin Johnson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Significant increase in the useful lifetime of the implantable cardiac pacemaker has been made possible by the development of a radioisotope power source. This paper reports experience with two models, the AEC-ARCO Nu-5 (fixed rate) and the Medtronic Model 9000 (ventricular inhibited demand). Five of the former models were implanted in 1973, and six of the latter more recently. Both types of units have functioned well.

The Relationship Of The Cold Nodule To Carcinoma Of The Thyroid, Douglas M. Evans
The Relationship Of The Cold Nodule To Carcinoma Of The Thyroid, Douglas M. Evans
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Fifty-two cases with histologically proven carcinoma of the thyroid were studied. With some variation as to the expected incidence of the several cell types of tumor, possibly due to the small size of this series, the distribution of these cases encompassed all histologic types. Fifty-three (53%) percent of the cases where pre-operative I131 scans were recorded showed a positive, or "cold" scan. Fifty-five (55%) percent of all lesions showed extension of disease beyond the confines of the thyroid gland. This experience indicates that, although thyroid scintiscans provide useful information to be correlated with other data, there are distinct limitations to …
Colon Interposition In The Management Of Total Gastric And Esophageal Stricture Following Lye Ingestion, Walter H. Janke, Ing-Sei Hwang
Colon Interposition In The Management Of Total Gastric And Esophageal Stricture Following Lye Ingestion, Walter H. Janke, Ing-Sei Hwang
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A case is presented in which ingestion of 300 CCS of liquid lye as a suicidal attempt resulted in caustic esophagogastritis, followed by a fibrotic process involving the entire esophagus and stomach down to the first portion of the duodenum. Successful colon bypass was performed from the cervical esophagus to the second portion of the duodenum.
Surgical Treatment Of Chronic Pancreatitis, Carlos Grodsinsky
Surgical Treatment Of Chronic Pancreatitis, Carlos Grodsinsky
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Over a two-year period, 30 patients with chronic pancreatitis have been observed by the author. Thirteen had surgical treatment. Three had laparotomy and drainage only when recurrence of acute inflammation was encountered. One had excision of a cyst of the tail of the pancreas. Another had drainage of a retroperitoneal necrotic collection. A patient with duodenal stenosis from scarring of the head of the pancreas was treated by gastro-jejunostomy. Seven patients had subtotal pancreatectomies. There was no mortality in the latter group, and six are asymptomatic. Information about the duct may be obtained in many cases by endoscopic retrograde cannulation, …
Vagotomy With Pyloroplasty Or Antrectomy: A Comparison Of Results In The Treatment Of Duodenal Ulcer, Richard L. Collier, John H. Wylie Jr.
Vagotomy With Pyloroplasty Or Antrectomy: A Comparison Of Results In The Treatment Of Duodenal Ulcer, Richard L. Collier, John H. Wylie Jr.
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
During the years 1970-73, 776 operations were performed for the relief of duodenal ulcer. Truncal vagotomy was done in all cases, and to this was added antrectomy in 92 cases and pyloroplasty in 24 cases. In the followup, three-fourths of the patients in both groups said they were satisfied with the result. There were four recurrences in the smaller pyloroplasty group. In this series, antrectomy with vagotomy appears to be the best operation for duodenal ulcer disease.
Diffuse Lymphoma Of Small Intestine And Colon: Case Report With Discussion, S. A. Swenson Jr., James L. Omel
Diffuse Lymphoma Of Small Intestine And Colon: Case Report With Discussion, S. A. Swenson Jr., James L. Omel
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A case is reported of malignant lymphoma of the small and large bowel associated with ulcerative colitis. Primary lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract is relatively uncommon. The dual association with colitis is rare. Prior to laparotomy, diagnosis of lymphoma is difficult because, of the many possible presenting complaints, none are specific. Treatment is basically surgical excision with postoperative radiation.
The Management Of Small Carcinomas Of The Rectum And Distal Sigmoid Colon, M. A. Block
The Management Of Small Carcinomas Of The Rectum And Distal Sigmoid Colon, M. A. Block
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Of 23 patients with carcinomas less than two centimeters in diameter located in the rectum and distal sigmoid colon, evidence of invasion was present in seven. Resections were performed for six patients, with two eventually dying from the carcinoma. Individualized management should consider the presence or absence of invasive carcinoma, appropriate resection for invasive carcinoma, biopsy of the base of the lesion if feasible when observation is planned, repeated sigmoidoscopic examinations for noninvasive carcinoma, and later resection if recurrence with invasion develops. Although approximately half of the carcinomas were associated with villous tumors, this factor was not significant in the …
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension - Disease Or Symptom? A Retrospective Reclassification Of 33 Cases, D. S. Dasgupta, Ellet H. Drake
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension - Disease Or Symptom? A Retrospective Reclassification Of 33 Cases, D. S. Dasgupta, Ellet H. Drake
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The hypertension which follows an intrinsic increase in pulmonary vascular resistance may be easily diagnosed by utilizing current catheterization and radiologic techniques. The real challenge is establishing a rational etiology in a given case before final pathological examination. Data from 33 proven cases are presented in an attempt to show that most ofthe proposed etiologic concepts may be represented in a large clinical series. Congenital and familial factors, multiple pulmonary embolization with resulting vasospastic sequela, arteritis, and degenerative states, were encountered, together with such specific clinical entities as scleroderma and systemic lupus erythematosus. Because the term "Primary Pulmonary Hypertension" implies …
Malignant Intrathoracic Hurthle-Cell Tumor: Report Of A Case With 12-Year Survival Following Three Palliative Operations, Conrad R. Lam
Malignant Intrathoracic Hurthle-Cell Tumor: Report Of A Case With 12-Year Survival Following Three Palliative Operations, Conrad R. Lam
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A 55-year-old man had a large superior mediastinal tumor producing obstructive symptoms. The tumor was removed through an upper median sternotomy incision. It was found to be composed of so-called Hurthle-cells, which are of thyroid origin, and the pathologist's interpretation was that it was of low grade malignancy. A pulmonary metastatic nodule was excised five years later, and 8 1/2 years after the original operation, a nodule was removed from a pectoral muscle. The patient lived 12 years and then expired with multiple metastases, but he was relatively asymptomatic until the last few months.

Experimental Evaluation Of The New Galen Disposable Bubble Oxygenator, Ung-Gill Jeong, Julio C. Davila
Experimental Evaluation Of The New Galen Disposable Bubble Oxygenator, Ung-Gill Jeong, Julio C. Davila
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
To assess the performance of the new Galen bubble oxygenator, two groups of 10 female mongrel dogs underwent three hours of total cardiopulmonary bypass. Adequate oxygenation and tissue perfusion as well as low hemolysis were demonstrated in both groups. Platelets were lower than the control in both groups due partly to hemodilution. Calculation of calorie transfer rate during cooling and rewarming demonstrated that the Bentley heat exchanger was more efficient. However, since water flow rate through this unit is limited, the net performance of the Galen was slightly better.
Medical Conference: Gaucher's Disease, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Lester Weiss, Robert Waldmann
Medical Conference: Gaucher's Disease, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Lester Weiss, Robert Waldmann
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The middle-aged man whose case is discussed here harbored Type 7 Gaucher's disease in subtle form. This hereditary disorder was partly disguised by a long history of peptic ulcer. Still a third cause for anemia was eventually uncovered in a surprise conclusion. The major discussion deals with the clinical aspects, microscopic pathology, genetics, and biochemistry of Gaucher's disease and related sphingolipidoses.

How Psychotherapy Heals, Jerome D. Frank
How Psychotherapy Heals, Jerome D. Frank
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This paper, accompanied by the discussions and the preceding introduction, was delivered May 9, 1974 as part of an anniversary celebration commemorating a half century of existence for the psychiatric unit at Henry Ford Hospital. Established in 1924 by the late Thomas J. Heldt, M.D., as a division of neuropsychiatry in the department of medicine, the unit is generally believed to be the first to be incorporated into a general hospital anywhere. It was - and is - conducted without physical restraints of any kind, without isolation of patients, and without segregation of men and women.

Granular Cell Myoblastoma Of The Larynx, Kamil Muzaffar, Iftikhar Salahuddin, Fred Averbuch, Richard D. Nichols
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Granuloma cell myoblastoma ofthe larynx is a relatively uncommon tumor. A review of the literature reveals only 52 cases reported. The lesion is a benign growth which is often asymptomatic, though most commonly associated with hoarseness. The treatment of choice is local surgical excision. Four successfully treated cases are reported. All four patients are Negro — three females and one male.
Phenotypic Males With 46, Xx Karyotype: Report Of Two New Cases, G. R. Rubio, Lester Weiss, J. F. Nunez, M. Saeed Uz Zafar
Phenotypic Males With 46, Xx Karyotype: Report Of Two New Cases, G. R. Rubio, Lester Weiss, J. F. Nunez, M. Saeed Uz Zafar
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Two sex chromatin positive phenotypic males were found to have 46, XX karyotypes. Both had small testes and elevated gonadotropins with low testosterone levels. Semen analysis could not be obtained but one man claimed to have a daughter. In one patient, mosaicism was suggested by the finding in a single cell of a chromosome morphologically resembling a Y. A second cell line was not found in the other patient. Possible explanations for the development of a male phenotype in the absence of demonstrable Y chromosome include the existence of two cell lines or mosaicism, an autosomal sex determining gene and …

Removal Of An Intra-Abdominal French Catheter Through The Laparoscope, Asghar Afsari
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Use of refined instruments for the removal of an intra-abdominal foreign body has enhanced the indication for operative laparoscopy. In particular instances, laparoscopy has proven more advantageous than laparotomy. This case report illustrates removal of an intra-abdominal rubber catheter via a laparoscopic procedure with a double puncture technique.

Correction Of D-Loop, D-Transposition Of The Great Arteries And Sub-Pulmonary Stenosis With A Dacron Conduit And Stented Porcine Xenograft Valve, Lorenzo Gonzalez-Lavin, Gordon M. Folger
Correction Of D-Loop, D-Transposition Of The Great Arteries And Sub-Pulmonary Stenosis With A Dacron Conduit And Stented Porcine Xenograft Valve, Lorenzo Gonzalez-Lavin, Gordon M. Folger
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Total correction of transposition of the great arteries and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction has become feasible in recent years. Certain modifications are needed, however, to improve the long term function of the valved conduit required in the procedure. A stented porcine xenograft valve, sutured into a woven Dacron tubular graft, was used successfully in the total correction of such a malfunction. The patient described is the first so treated at the Henry Ford Hospital. The main advantage of this technique is its practicality. Both Dacron tubular grafts and stented porcine xenograft valves are commercially available. This approach is applicable …
Position-Dependent Pleural Friction Rub, Thomas L. Connolly
Position-Dependent Pleural Friction Rub, Thomas L. Connolly
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The art of physical examination is often forgotten by clinicians in their haste to depend on laboratory tests. This paper described a helpful way to diagnose pleurisy in someone who should have it according to the history. Auscultation of the chest in the supine and lateral decubitus positions will occasionally facilitate the detection of a pleural friction rub when conventional examinations may not do so. Two patients are described in whom this method was used.

Greenhouse Fungicide — Environmental Carcinogen?, Marvin D. Anderson, Herbert S. Rosenkranz
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A simple screening method, in which a bacterial mutant deficient in its ability to repair DNA, was used to detect genetic damage from a widely-used fungicide. The finding strengthens the suspicion that it may be a potent human carcinogen. The unique role of the physician in eliciting a history of exposure from a patient with cancer is emphasized in the case report.
