Purpura Arthralgia Weakness Mixed Cryoglobulinemia Syndrome Treated With Splenectomy: A Case Report, Carl R. Haeger
Purpura Arthralgia Weakness Mixed Cryoglobulinemia Syndrome Treated With Splenectomy: A Case Report, Carl R. Haeger
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Weakness purpura mixed arthralgia cryoglobinemia (IgG - IgM) syndrome was first described by Meltzer in 1966. Such a case was recently reported after treatment with Cyclophosphamide and subsequent splenectomy for pancytopenia with beneficial effects on the cryocrit. The patient reported here underwent splenectomy without Cyclophosphamide and had subsequent amelioration of the clinical symptoms. Abnormal plasma cells found in the spleen presumably were responsible (at least in part) for the patient's symptomatology.
Malignant Histiocytosis Of The Robb-Smith Type (Histiocytic Medullary Reticulosis), Michael F. Macken, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Sheik M. Saeed
Malignant Histiocytosis Of The Robb-Smith Type (Histiocytic Medullary Reticulosis), Michael F. Macken, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Sheik M. Saeed
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A 60-year-old woman developed high fever, jaundice, anemia with pancytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly. She deteriorated rapidly and died one month later, having shown no beneficial effect from high dose corticosteroids and splenectomy. An antemortem diagnosis of malignant histiocytosis of the Robb-Smith type was made and duly confirmed by autopsy study. This rare disorder of the reticuloendothelial system, heretofore designated "histiocytic medullary reticulosis," deserves recognition and inclusion among the histiocytic diseases and in the classification of the lymphomas. Its proper nosologic designation is suggested.

Measurement Of Haversian Bone Remodelling By Means Of Tetracycline Labelling In Rib Of Rhesus Monkeys, Charles C. Schock, Frank R. Noyes, A. R. Villanueva
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Quantitative histologic measurements of haversian bone remodelling were made of mineralized rib cross sections in 13 healthy rhesus monkeys. With the aid of previous tetracycline labelling, coupled with the Villanueva Osteochrome stain, Frost's quantitative bone analysis revealed that: a) the mean haversian bone formation rate is 0.359 z 0.186 mm2/mm2/yr; b) the mean number of osteoid seams/mm2 is 4.03 ± 1.64; c) the mean appositional rale is 1 33 ± 0 23 microns/day while the radial closure rate when all the labelled systems are corrected is 0.42 r 0.080 mm/year; d) the mean circumference of …
Nonparasitic Cysts Of The Liver: Analysis Of 36 Cases And Review Of Modern Diagnostic Techniques, Victor Lawoyin, Robert J. Priest
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
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
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
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
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.

C-Reactive Protein: Potential Significance Of Quantitation In Patients With Chronic Diseases, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo
C-Reactive Protein: Potential Significance Of Quantitation In Patients With Chronic Diseases, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in 351 patients with certain chronic diseases were assayed by a micro-double immunodiffusion technique developed and used in this hospital. Elevation of CRP values and severity of disease were evident in the following clinical entities: 31 of 54 patients (57%) with liver cirrhosis; 122 of 204 (60%) hepatitis patients; 34 of 52 (65%) patients with gastro-intestinal surgery; 8 of 21 (38%) uremic patients; and all of 20 patients with renal transplantation. There was good correlation between markedly elevated serum CRP values and degree of inflammation and/or physiologic stress during clinical course and recovery.

Genetic Counseling For Hemoglobinopathies: A Model For Large Scale Application, Charles E. Jackson, Esly S. Caldwell, Ellis J. Van Slyck
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This report describes a project in a large urban, predominantly black, high school which combined a hemoglobinopathy survey with an educational and genetic counseling emphasis. The faculty and students received information on sickle cell disease explaining its genetic and personal implications. About 29% of the 2,700 students received parental permission and volunteered for blood tests in the initial year. Blood was examined by starch gel electrophoresis during the first year and by cellulose acetate electrophoresis during the second year. Of the 1300 total individuals studied, 7% were found to have sickle cell trait and 2% hemoglobin C trait. The cellulose …

Epidermoid Carcinoma Arising In An Epidermal Inclusion Cyst, Talmadge V. Hayes, Joseph Ponka
Epidermoid Carcinoma Arising In An Epidermal Inclusion Cyst, Talmadge V. Hayes, Joseph Ponka
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Mostly because of adequate early treatment, large epidermoid carcinomas are not frequently seen today. The case which we documented is unusual because of the huge size of the tumor and the resulting deformity. The photographs illustrate the pre-operative and post-operative appearance. The fact that these tumors can reach enormous size and become malignant bears repeating. Radical excision and skin grafting, we believe, resulted in a cure for this patient. Incidentally, there was a great change in her mental outlook after the removal of this tumor.
The Endoscopic Approach To The Diagnosis Of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Bernard M. Schuman, Roberto F. Gluckmann, Klaus Anselm, Robert J. Priest
The Endoscopic Approach To The Diagnosis Of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Bernard M. Schuman, Roberto F. Gluckmann, Klaus Anselm, Robert J. Priest
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Fifty-nine consecutive patients who were bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract were examined endoscopically with fiberoptic instruments. The site and nature of the bleeding were identified in 84% of the patients without significant morbidity or mortality. Endoscopic examination of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum in the bleeding patient should be done within 12 to 24 hours after hospital admission and before barium study of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Successful experience with the halo, a circular frame originally designed for fixation of facial fractures, has encouraged continued and broadened use. All physicians should be aware of this technique so that it can be considered for application when appropriate.
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: The Evolution Of Our Concepts Of Its Cause, Harold M. Frost
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: The Evolution Of Our Concepts Of Its Cause, Harold M. Frost
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Research findings in the last 20 years concerning senile and postmenopausal osteoporosis indicate that the skeletal condition associated with these diseases arises because some systemic factor acts directly upon the bone marrow tissues. There is a secondary tendency to accelerate loss of bone greater than in the normal aging process. The loss occurs only on those surfaces in physical contact with the bone marrow tissue.

Cytology Of Rectosigmoid Diseases Using The Replica Method, Victor Lawoyin, Klaus Anselm
Cytology Of Rectosigmoid Diseases Using The Replica Method, Victor Lawoyin, Klaus Anselm
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The cytology of rectal imprints of 105 control subjects and 79 patients with various rectosigmoid diseases has been studied. Our modified slide applicator was employed and found to be efficient, safe and easy to use. The cytological method has been more accurate than evaluation of the macroscopic appearance of the rectal mucosa only and therefore more efficient in the early diagnosis and follow-up of inflammatory bowel diseases. If used during routine proctosigmoidoscopy, it can help to determine the true incidence of proctocolitis in the population at large.
The Simultaneous Occurrence Of Monosodium Urate And Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Crystals In An Arthritic Joint, Gilbert B. Bluhm, Frank J. Viozzi
The Simultaneous Occurrence Of Monosodium Urate And Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Crystals In An Arthritic Joint, Gilbert B. Bluhm, Frank J. Viozzi
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Gout and pseudogout, two metabolically different diseases, occur rarely in the same individual. A patient is reported who featured calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate and monosodium urate cryslals simultaneously in the synovial fiuid exudate which was removed during an acute arthritic attack of the left knee. The patient represents the seventh such case reported in the literature. The pathogenetic differences of gout and pseudogout are reviewed as they relate to the role of the crystal.
