Kinetic Regulation Of Enzymes, Joseph D. Shore

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This paper, on a highly sophisticated subject written in a non-mathematical style, provides the reader not only with an understandable review of an important aspect of the metabolic regulation of enzyme activity (i.e.) kinetic regulation) but also with results of original investigations being conducted in this specific area of research by Dr. Shore in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Edsel B. Ford Institute for Medical Research.

Spontaneous Rupture Of The Esophagus: Report Of A Successfully Managed Case, Eduardo Arciniegas

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Spontaneous rupture of the esophagus should be suspected in any patient developing severe chest pain after vomiting. The diagnosis is substantiated by the presence of subcutaneous emphysema in the suprasternal region on physical examination and of mediastinal air on the plain chest roentgenogram. Further radiological confirmation may be obtained by oral administration of a watersoluble radio-opaque material. Immediate surgical repair of the esophageal tear is mandatory.

Changing Times For Professional Nurses, Helen E. Harper

Art In Psychotherapy, Robert R. Schopbach

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Art is a tool too often neglected in psychotherapy. A careful study of a patient's drawings will provide information concerning diagnosis, dynamics, and progress. If, in addition, the patient explains and elaborates upon the content and symbolism, the drawings become excellent psychotherapeutic devices providing an entry into the patient's unconscious.

Relationship Of Vertebral Size To Fracture In Osteoporotic Spines, Richmond W. Smith, Peter M. Taft

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study is an extension of early observations that Negro women were free of vertebral fractures and had lower mean values for vertebral dimensions than white women. Skeletal dimensions should be considered in the further study of osteoporosis and its structural consequences, the authors state.

Treatment Of Hyperthyroidism From The Autonomous Multinodular Goiter, J. Martin Miller, Richard E. Weber, Melvin A. Block

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

47 patients with large multinodular goiters and "non-Graves" hyperthyroidism were treated surgically or given radioiodine therapy. The severity of the disease and cardiac complications were comparable in each group. Results favor subtotal thyroidectomy if the disease is other than mild or if atrial fibrillation is present.

Accidental Ingestion Of Anticoagulant Resulting In A Severe Hemorrhagic Diathesis, R. W. Monto, E. R. Williams, T. H. Greidanus, E. J. Van Slyck

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This case history of a 45-year-old woman, who had been issued Dicumarol instead of Dronactin in a pharmacy-filled prescription, describes an emergency therapeutic program to control hemorrhage with vitamin K, adrenal corticosteroids, and the giving of fresh blood. In a patient with a bleeding disorder, unintentional ingestion of oral anticoagulants is to be suspected if the prothrombin time is markedly elevated, if the patient has been previotisly treated with an oral anticoagulant, or is engaged in a medical or paramedical occupation. Diagnosis is confirmed by finding a deficiency of factors II, VII, IV, and X. and by the presence of …

Psychiatric Emergencies, W. J. Cassidy

Types of psychiatric emergencies seen in general practice or in a hospital emergency setting are defined, along with recommendations for handling. Also discussed are P.E. in children, methods of detecting the potential suicide and some conclusions based on a 2562 patient survey in one hospital.

Infection In The Newborn Infant And Its Association With Prolonged Rupture Of The Amniotic Membranes, Philip J. Howard, A. Robert Bauer

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Infections in newborn infants should be suspected and treatment started whenever birth is prolonged following rupture of the membranes. These studies show that risk increases as rupture time gets longer. Selected antibiotics at proper dosages are recommended as preventive measures.

The Accumulation Of Tissue Cholesterol And Its Relationship To Bile Acid And Sterol Turnover, W. T. Beher, B. Rao, M. E. Beher, G. Semenuk, J. Bertasius, N. Vulpetti

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Normal and hypophysectomized rats were divided into equal homogeneous groups to determine the effect of cholestyramine, corn oil and cholesterol on the excretion of fecal bile acids and sterols. Bile acid turnover rates, pool sizes, and spectrums were studied and compared.

X-Ray Diffraction Powder Data For Steroids: Supplement Viii, Jonathan Parsons, John B. Holcomb, William T. Beher

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This supplement continues a series of publications which began as a separate section, with the Dec. 1958 issue, and has been supplemented periodically since then. Other publications have been March 1961 (Supplement I) Sept. 1962 (Supp. II): March 1963 (Supp. Ill): March 1964 (Supp. IV): Dec. 1964 (Supp. V): Sept. 1965 (Supp. VI) and Dec. 1966 (Supp. VII).

A Method Of Hospital Infection Surveillance Incorporating The Use Of The Computer, Bruce W. Steinhauer, Frank Cox, George H. C. Stobie, Edward L. Quinn

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The records of all patients in the hospital on a particular date were studied for hospital-acquired infections. Results were compared with a continuing surveillance based on discharge reporting. Collection of data was programmed for analysis by using the hospital computer. Thirteen per cent of the patients manifested an infection after admission, but before or on the survey day. Results elsewhere are similar. Areas of the hospital with a relatively higher incidence of infection did not have clusters of particular pathogens.

Normal Serum Protein Levels In Syrian (Golden) Hamsters: Compared With The Protein Levels In Sv 40 Tumor Bearing And Sv 40 Immune Hamsters, Hajime Hayashi, Nansie Sharpless, Gerald A. Logrippo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A study of 149 hamsters indicates that there are periods in life when the animal is immune to tumor induction by a known virus. By studying normal serum protein levels, standards were established for the adult age and for the tumor forming period. The data emphasize the importance of the immunologic status of the host for virus induction of tumors.

A Method To Determine Curved Surface Laminagraphic Width And Position In Panoral Radiography Utilizing The Panorex X-Ray Unit, Gary G. Morikone

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Although the Panorex X-ray unit has been in existence for almost a decade, no information is publicly available relative to the determination of its laminagraphic slice width or position.

In order to utilize the machine most effectively as a research tool, it seems imperative that this width and position be established.

For the purpose of establishing the spatial relationship within the exposure mechanism, the two eccentric rotational axes were first located. Utilizing a positioning device, ten panoral radiographs of a plastic working dummy with metallic implants were exposed at varying exposure readings. The resultant radiographs, revealing varying degrees of accuracy …
