Histocompatibility Testing In Renal Transplantation, Hajime Hayashi, Jay B. Hunter
Histocompatibility Testing In Renal Transplantation, Hajime Hayashi, Jay B. Hunter
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The effect of HLA matching and other aspects of histocompatibility on renal graft survival were analyzed in 144 patients who received renal transplants at Henry Ford Hospital during the past ten years. Living related transplants with one haplotype match or better demonstrated a higher graft survival rate (at least 88%) at one year than the better matched cadaveric transplant. In cadaveric transplants, the group with fewer than two mismatched antigens appeared to have a higher graft survival rate than those with more than two. The patient population was not large enough to determine the effect of preformed antibodies, ABO grouping, …
Urological Complications In Renal Transplantation, Riad N. Farah, Richard Klugo, Thomas Mertz, Joseph C. Cerny
Urological Complications In Renal Transplantation, Riad N. Farah, Richard Klugo, Thomas Mertz, Joseph C. Cerny
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
There were 116 renal transplants performed on 108 patients over a five-year period at Henry Ford Hospital with three major urological complications. The rate of 2.6% compares favorably with that reported in other series. Careful preoperative urological evaluation together with technically precise ureteroneocystostomy are factors that minimize the incidence of urological complications.
Intravenous Methylprednisolone For Kidney Transplantation, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra
Intravenous Methylprednisolone For Kidney Transplantation, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The effect of different dosage levels (0-100 mg/k/day x 3)of intravenous methylprednisolone was tested in canine kidney autografts undergoing immediate contralateral nephrectomy. Intravenous methylprednisolone was safely administered in doses up to 40 mg/k/day for three days after kidney transplantation. Higher doses ( 40 mg/k/day x 3) were functionally and structurally harmful to canine kidney autografts.
Prolonging Kidney Graft Survival With Concanavalin A: Effects Of Temperature, Perfusate Composition, Ph, And Different Manufacturing Lots, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Richard L. Simmons
Prolonging Kidney Graft Survival With Concanavalin A: Effects Of Temperature, Perfusate Composition, Ph, And Different Manufacturing Lots, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Richard L. Simmons
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This study analyzes the effect of temperature, perfusate composition, pH, and variable manufacturing lots in prolonging kidney allograft survival with Concanavalin A (Con A). Cold temperature (4°C), crystalloid composition of the perfusates, and neutral or mildly alkaline pH were important factors in the effect of Con A on prolonging allograft survival. Also, different lots of Con A from the same manufacturer produced variable results in prolonging survival. Thus, multiple factors should be considered if Con A is to be used to prolong kidney allograft survival.
Reevaluation Of A New Colloid Hyperosmolar Solution For Hypothermic Storage Of Ischemic Canine Kidneys, Manuel Chee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Richard M. Condie
Reevaluation Of A New Colloid Hyperosmolar Solution For Hypothermic Storage Of Ischemic Canine Kidneys, Manuel Chee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Richard M. Condie
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This paper describes the results of experiments designed to test the effectiveness of a new colloid hyperosmolar solution (Toledo-Pereyra) for renal hypothermic storage. Three experimental conditions were employed: 60 minutes of warm ischemia (37 C), 24 hours of hypothermic storage, and a combination of warm ischemia and hypothermic storage. Canine kidneys tolerated either one of the first two procedures when flushed with the colloid hyperosmolar solution before storage or transplantation. If warm ischemia was applied before 24 hours of hypothermic storage, four of six dogs survived more than 20 days after transplantation, while the other two died of uremia. Thus, …
Nutritional Aspects In The Care Of The Child With Cleft Lip And Palate, Mary E. Keitel
Nutritional Aspects In The Care Of The Child With Cleft Lip And Palate, Mary E. Keitel
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Proper nutrition is essential in the care of the infant with cleft lip or palate, as these infants are often plagued with feeding difficulties from birth. This paper reviews recent literature on the many feeding practices in use today and discusses the current trend toward a multidisciplinary approach to treatment for the cleft lip/palate child. It also presents a brief review of experimental animal studies which have implicated nutritional deficiences in the causation of cleft lip/palate.
Length Of Perfusion Time In Cadaver Kidney Transplantation, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Stanley G. Dienst, Cosme Cruz, Pedro Cortes, Godofredo Santiago, Nathan W. Levin, Riad Farah, Joseph C. Cerny
Length Of Perfusion Time In Cadaver Kidney Transplantation, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Stanley G. Dienst, Cosme Cruz, Pedro Cortes, Godofredo Santiago, Nathan W. Levin, Riad Farah, Joseph C. Cerny
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The results of transplantation survival for 70 consecutive cadaver kidneys preserved under hypothermic pulsatile perfusion at Henry Ford Hospital are reviewed. Pulsatile perfusion for up to 30 hours did not adversely alter the survival rate following transplantation. Thus, kidneys perfused for prolonged periods of time (> 20 hours) can be used for transplantation, if the basic rules for organ retrieval and preservation have been followed. Hypothermic pulsatile perfusion of cadaver kidneys has been demonstrated to be an adequate system for ex-vivo preservation for transplantation.

Intracardiac Phonocardiography In Subaortic Stenosis, Paul D. Stein, Hani N. Sabbah, Daniel T. Anbe, Fareed Khaja, Gordon M. Folger Jr.
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The purpose of this study is to explore the value of intracardiac sound recordings for the verification of subaortic stenosis. Intracardiac sound was measured in ten patients with subaortic obstructions. Seven had idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, two had a subvalvular membrane, and one had a subvalvular tunnel. In each patient, a systolic murmur was recorded within the left ventricle distal to the obstruction. The murmur was of lower amplitude distal to the aortic valve, and it was of even lower amplitude or absent proximal to the obstruction. In the presence of entrapment, no intraventricular murmur occurred although an apparent subvalvular …

Clinical Notes: Bacteremia Associated With Colonoscopy, A. Suarez, B. Schuman, E. Quinn, T. Neblett
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Twenty-eight patients had a total of 168 blood cultures before and at regular intervals during colonoscopy. No bacteremia was found. Based on our results and other reports, we recommend antibiotic prophylaxis during colonoscopy only for those patients with prosthetic heart valves and for those with valvular heart disease who also have advanced liver disease.

Noninvasive Techniques In The Evaluation Of Arterial Disease, J. Dennis Baker
Noninvasive Techniques In The Evaluation Of Arterial Disease, J. Dennis Baker
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This paper reviews noninvasive technology currently being applied in clinical peripheral vascular laboratories for the evaluation of obstructive arterial disease in the lower extremities and in the cerebral circulation. Lower extremity, arterial insufficiency can be assessed by pressures measured with a Doppler flowmeter or by oscillometric tracings obtained with a Pulse Volume Recorder. Carotid artery stenosis is studied by: 1) ocular pneumoplethysmography, which indirectly measures ophthalmic artery pressure; 2) oculoplethysmography, which compares pulse arrival time at the two eyes; and 3) the Doppler ophthalmic test, which detects the flow pattern in the ophthalmic artery. The main uses of the tests …

What's New In Crohn's Disease Treatment, Francis J. Owens
What's New In Crohn's Disease Treatment, Francis J. Owens
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Progress in the management of Crohn's disease is limited by our inability to compare different patients. Two methods of evaluating the severity of disease have recently been published. Of these, the National Cooperative Crohn's Disease Study (NCCDS) method has been utilized in a study reported on at several national meetings but still in progress. Antibiotics in intensive prolonged dosage, e.g. ampicillin, 500 mg qid for several months, have recently been reported to benefit greater than 90% of patients not responding to conventional therapy. Metronidazole and dapsone continue to be mentioned in letters to journals. Sulfasalazine has been found useful in …
Refractory Hypercalcemia In Sarcoidosis: Exacerbation By Thiazide Diuretics, Differentiation From Primary Hyperparathyroidism, And Possible Role Of Prolactin, A. M. Parfitt
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Hypercalcemia in a patient with sarcoidosis was made worse by a thiazide diuretic initially given to control hypercalciuria alone. The hypercalcemia was unusually resistant to corticosteroid treatment during the summer even after the thiazide diuretic had been discontinued. Lack of response to corticosteroid together with decreased tubular reabsorption of phosphate and increased tubular reabsorption of calcium suggested associated primary hyperparathyroidism, but PTH was undetectable by immunoassay, and nephrogenous cyclic AMP excretion was zero. Amenorrhea, galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia were found to be due to a pituitary tumor which was removed. The experience with this patient suggests that: 1) exacerbation of hypercalcemia …
Effect Of Glucagon And Methylprednisolone On Pancreatectomized Recipients Of Whole Pancreas Allografts, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Michael Zammit, Krishna D. Valjee
Effect Of Glucagon And Methylprednisolone On Pancreatectomized Recipients Of Whole Pancreas Allografts, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Michael Zammit, Krishna D. Valjee
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Glucagon alone or in combination with methylprednisolone was an adequate therapeutic adjuvant for pancreatectomized recipients of whole pancreas allografts. All recipients were minimally immunosuppressed with azathioprine, 5.0 mg/K/day for three days, then 2.5 mg/K/day. The morphological, functional, and survival response after whole pancreas transplantation indicated a trend of improvement in the treated groups. Only the groups of dogs receiving glucagon alone or in combination with methylprednisolone survived more than two weeks after transplantation. This therapy has proven to be effective for whole pancreas transplantation.

Studies On Uveitis Part Ii: Hypotheses With Case Reports, Philip C. Hessburg
Studies On Uveitis Part Ii: Hypotheses With Case Reports, Philip C. Hessburg
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A number of patients with and without uveitis are used to show that this study of aqueous microbiology suggests the following hypotheses: 1. Routine techniques currently used in most microbiology laboratories overlook classical and variant bacteria which might be isolated from clinical specimens with improved microbiological techniques. 2. Bacterial forms may be present in other ocular tissue when not present in the aqueous. 3. Polymicrobial infections probably occur rather frequently, especially in chronic or subacute inflammatory states. 4. Alterations in various host factors may subject some persons to a greater incidence of inflammatory episodes including uveitis. 5. Antibiotics used in …
Effect Of Perfusate Osmolarity On Hearts Preserved Under Hypothermic Pulsatile Perfusion For 24 Hours, Luis H. Toledo-Pereya, Manuel Chee, Richard C. Lillehei
Effect Of Perfusate Osmolarity On Hearts Preserved Under Hypothermic Pulsatile Perfusion For 24 Hours, Luis H. Toledo-Pereya, Manuel Chee, Richard C. Lillehei
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Canine hearts preserved under hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (24 hours) with an osmolarity of 340 mOsm/L had better preservation and transplantation response than hearts perfused at an osmolarity of 310 and 270 mOsm/L. The hearts perfused at 340 mOsm /L survived an average of 22.6 days after transplantation. This survival was significantly (p>0.05) better than that observed after fresh transplantation (13.4 days average). Hearts perfused at 270 mOsm /L had a significantly (p>0.05) lower survival after transplantation (5.8 days average) than the fresh allografts or the hearts perfused at 310 or 340 mOsm / L. Similar survival times were …

Ganglioneuroma, a tumor of neural crest origin, is a rare neoplasm; to encounter it in an adult over 50 years of age is very rare. This report describes the case of a 56-year-old man who was seen at Henry Ford Hospital with an abdominal mass confirmed as ganglioneuroma on histopathology. Experience at Henry Ford Hospital and the available literature on the subject are reviewed.
The Quantitative Determination Of 3-Oxo-Bile Acids, W. T. Beher, G. J. Lin, J. Sanfield, S. Stradnieks
The Quantitative Determination Of 3-Oxo-Bile Acids, W. T. Beher, G. J. Lin, J. Sanfield, S. Stradnieks
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A new method for the rapid quantification of 3-oxo-bile acids has been developed. From 5 to 120 μg of oxo-acid in aqueous or ethanolic media are reduced with sodium borohydride. The resulting 3α- and 3β-hydroxy acids are then oxidized in a reaction catalyzed by 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, during which nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is reduced to NADH. The absorbance of the reaction mixture is determined at 340 nm and is directly proportional to the amount of 3-oxo-acid in the original sample. The method is fully compatible with that used in determining 3α-hydroxy-bile acids.
