An Ischemic Infarct In Medulla And Cervical Cord, Ezzatollah Shivapour, Gilbert B. Solitare

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This report documents an unusual case of an occlusion of the anterior spinal artery of the medulla oblongata. The patient presented with involvement of the left accessory nerve and weakness of ipsilateral extremities. The diagnosis of an ischemic infarct in the distribution of the left proximal portion of the anterior spinal artery was made. Bulbar weakness, quadriplegia, and respiratory arrest developed. Postmortem examination, 23 days after onset, revealed an old infarct in the medulla which appeared as a more recent hemorrhagic infarct throughout the cervical cord.

Clinical Notes: 201tl Chloride Uptake By Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma: Radiographic Exhibit, Daniel S. Marks, Keenan L. Carroll

This report describes intense uptake of 201Tl in a patient with histiocytic lymphoma. The activity seen was greater than with 67Ga. Use of 201Tl as an alternative imaging agent is advocated.

Mixed Connective Tissue Disease And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus In One Family, Michael R. Lubetsky, Howard Duncan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A mother with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and a daughter with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were simultaneously diagnosed and treated in August, 1977. Multiple cases of SLE occurring in the same family are not rare, but the frequency with which systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease occurs in the same family is not known, and the reports are few. This report describes these two cases and suggests that mixed connective tissue disease may be part of the spectrum of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Scanning Electron Microscopy Of The Surface Of Human Duodenum In Patients With And Without Duodenal Ulcer Disease, Bernard M. Schuman, Klaus Ritter, John H. L. Watson, Jessica Goodwin

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Endoscopic biopsy specimens of normal human duodenum from patients with duodenal ulcer disease were studied by light microscopy and by scanning electron microscopy. For scanning, the tissue was dried by the critical point-drying technique. SEM criteria for both normal and abnormal duodenal surfaces were determined. SEM evidence for the presence of "tuft cells" similar to those found on the surface of rat duodenum was found in both the normal and abnormal human material. Although other reports have described the favorable effects of carbenoxolone sodium treatment on duodenal ulcer disease, our SEM studies of four patients found that this treatment had …

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography At Henry Ford Hospital: 1972-1977, Bernard M. Schuman, Kian H. Wong, R. Salimi, A. N. Adham

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Between 7972 and /977, 440 patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (FRCP) at Henry Ford Hospital. The procedure was found to be most useful for identifying the site and nature of an extrahepatic obstruction, the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and the preoperative evaluation of chronic pancreatitis. One death occurred as a result of cholangitis in a patient with cancer of the pancreas. Review of the data has led us to refine our indications for FRCP. It has been shown to be a valuable technique with a low incidence of complications in evaluating pancreaticobiliary disease. Based on our study, it would be …

In Vitro And Clinical Studies Of Cefaclor, A New Cephalosporin, Daria Kiani, Tom Madhavan, Keith Burch, Don Pohlod, Evelyn Fisher, Edward L. Quinn

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In vitro susceptibility studies of 246 clinical isolates demonstrated that this antibiotic was effective against Group A beta hemolytic streptococci, alpha hemolytic streptococci, S. pneumoniae, both penicillinase producing and nonpenicillinase producing Staphylococci, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis. Cephalothin susceptible E. coii were also susceptible to cefaclor. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia sp., Enterobacter Sp., and Streptococcus faecalis were uniformly resistant to cefaclor. The efficacy and safety of this antibiotic were studied in 27 patients with urinary tract, soft tissue, and respiratory infections. Patients with urinary tract infections became abacteriuric after 48 hours. Patients with soft tissue infections responded well within the first …

Seizures And Brain Tumor In Neurologically Intact Adult Patients: Role Of Computerized Tomography (Ct Scan), Jamshid Seifi, Roushdy S. Boulos, Robert D. Teasdall

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

CT scan of 13 patients with adult onset of seizures who were neurologically intact and otherwise asymptomatic revealed a supratentorial mass in all. Significant EEG abnormalities were recorded in five, and the isotope brain scan was positive in eight. In three patients, both studies were normal. Angiograms confirmed the location of tumor, and histology was established following craniotomy. The value of the CT scan as a screening test for detecting brain tumor in this group of seizure patients is evident.

Bone Erosion In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Howard Duncan, Catharina H. E. Mathews, Michael M. Crouch, A. M. Parfitt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A histological study of fully mineralized bone sections was made on thirty joints surgically removed from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The patterns of bone erosion fell into three groups: 1) that due to multinucleated osteoclasts; 2) areas of apparent bone erosion occupied exclusively by mononuclear cells; and 3) changes produced by an osteocyte which could either enlarge the lacuna space in which it resided or demineralize a region of bone in its immediate vicinity. Tissues taken from knee and hip specimens frequently showed all three cellular patterns of bone erosion, while the sections from finger joints rarely container multinucleated osteoclasts …

Caloric Restriction And Bile Salt Dynamics In Intact And Cholecystectomized Syrian Hamsters, J. Sanfield, W. T. Beher, G. J. Lin, R. Haamen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In vivo studies of bile salt absorption and distribution using 14C-taurocholate were made in fed and fasted, intact and cholecystectomized Syrian hamsters. There was no significant difference in the rate of ileal 14C-bile salt absorption or the distribution of 14C-bile salts among the compartments of the enterohepatic circulatory system in any of the animals. The results showed that the sphincter of Oddi is patent in fasting, intact and cholecystectomized hamsters. They also suggested that the diminished bile salt pool seen in fasted, cholecystectomized but not in intact hamsters arises from a) a primary, fasting-induced decrease in liver enzyme activity involved …

Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (Ptfe) And External Velour Grafts As Small Artery Substitutes In Dogs, Farouq Samhouri, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Stanley G. Dienst, Roger F. Smith

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This experimental study compared the clinical patency, angiographic appearance, and histology of 4 mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and external double velour grafts which were used as external iliac artery substitutes in dogs. At one week there were no significant differences. However, at two months, none of the PTFE grafts were open, whereas six of the seven external double velour grafts were patent (p<0.05). Thus, in this study the 4 mm PTFE grafts are poor substitutes for canine iliac replacement.

A Comparison Of Kidney Preservation Methods By Oxidative Phosphorylation Studies, Devprakash Samuel, Stanley G. Dienst

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

An oxygen consumption assay using adenosine diphosphonucleotide (ADP) was performed on canine kidneys to measure the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation. The purpose of the assay was to establish a respiratory control index (RCI) that could be used to evaluate kidneys preserved by different methods. Of the four methods tested, perfusion yielded the best results after 24-hour preservation. Additionally, four pairs of human cadaver kidneys were evaluated with the same assay. Some correlation existed between the RCI values of the nontransplanted kidney in each pair and the clinical viability of its transplanted mate.
