47 patients with large multinodular goiters and "non-Graves" hyperthyroidism were treated surgically or given radioiodine therapy.

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.

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.
