Experimental Evaluation Of The New Galen Disposable Bubble Oxygenator, Ung-Gill Jeong, Julio C. Davila
Experimental Evaluation Of The New Galen Disposable Bubble Oxygenator, Ung-Gill Jeong, Julio C. Davila
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
To assess the performance of the new Galen bubble oxygenator, two groups of 10 female mongrel dogs underwent three hours of total cardiopulmonary bypass. Adequate oxygenation and tissue perfusion as well as low hemolysis were demonstrated in both groups. Platelets were lower than the control in both groups due partly to hemodilution. Calculation of calorie transfer rate during cooling and rewarming demonstrated that the Bentley heat exchanger was more efficient. However, since water flow rate through this unit is limited, the net performance of the Galen was slightly better.

Medical Conference: Gaucher's Disease, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Lester Weiss, Robert Waldmann
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The middle-aged man whose case is discussed here harbored Type 7 Gaucher's disease in subtle form. This hereditary disorder was partly disguised by a long history of peptic ulcer. Still a third cause for anemia was eventually uncovered in a surprise conclusion. The major discussion deals with the clinical aspects, microscopic pathology, genetics, and biochemistry of Gaucher's disease and related sphingolipidoses.

How Psychotherapy Heals, Jerome D. Frank
How Psychotherapy Heals, Jerome D. Frank
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This paper, accompanied by the discussions and the preceding introduction, was delivered May 9, 1974 as part of an anniversary celebration commemorating a half century of existence for the psychiatric unit at Henry Ford Hospital. Established in 1924 by the late Thomas J. Heldt, M.D., as a division of neuropsychiatry in the department of medicine, the unit is generally believed to be the first to be incorporated into a general hospital anywhere. It was - and is - conducted without physical restraints of any kind, without isolation of patients, and without segregation of men and women.

Granular Cell Myoblastoma Of The Larynx, Kamil Muzaffar, Iftikhar Salahuddin, Fred Averbuch, Richard D. Nichols
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Granuloma cell myoblastoma ofthe larynx is a relatively uncommon tumor. A review of the literature reveals only 52 cases reported. The lesion is a benign growth which is often asymptomatic, though most commonly associated with hoarseness. The treatment of choice is local surgical excision. Four successfully treated cases are reported. All four patients are Negro — three females and one male.
Phenotypic Males With 46, Xx Karyotype: Report Of Two New Cases, G. R. Rubio, Lester Weiss, J. F. Nunez, M. Saeed Uz Zafar
Phenotypic Males With 46, Xx Karyotype: Report Of Two New Cases, G. R. Rubio, Lester Weiss, J. F. Nunez, M. Saeed Uz Zafar
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Two sex chromatin positive phenotypic males were found to have 46, XX karyotypes. Both had small testes and elevated gonadotropins with low testosterone levels. Semen analysis could not be obtained but one man claimed to have a daughter. In one patient, mosaicism was suggested by the finding in a single cell of a chromosome morphologically resembling a Y. A second cell line was not found in the other patient. Possible explanations for the development of a male phenotype in the absence of demonstrable Y chromosome include the existence of two cell lines or mosaicism, an autosomal sex determining gene and …

Correction Of D-Loop, D-Transposition Of The Great Arteries And Sub-Pulmonary Stenosis With A Dacron Conduit And Stented Porcine Xenograft Valve, Lorenzo Gonzalez-Lavin, Gordon M. Folger
Correction Of D-Loop, D-Transposition Of The Great Arteries And Sub-Pulmonary Stenosis With A Dacron Conduit And Stented Porcine Xenograft Valve, Lorenzo Gonzalez-Lavin, Gordon M. Folger
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Total correction of transposition of the great arteries and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction has become feasible in recent years. Certain modifications are needed, however, to improve the long term function of the valved conduit required in the procedure. A stented porcine xenograft valve, sutured into a woven Dacron tubular graft, was used successfully in the total correction of such a malfunction. The patient described is the first so treated at the Henry Ford Hospital. The main advantage of this technique is its practicality. Both Dacron tubular grafts and stented porcine xenograft valves are commercially available. This approach is applicable …
Position-Dependent Pleural Friction Rub, Thomas L. Connolly
Position-Dependent Pleural Friction Rub, Thomas L. Connolly
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The art of physical examination is often forgotten by clinicians in their haste to depend on laboratory tests. This paper described a helpful way to diagnose pleurisy in someone who should have it according to the history. Auscultation of the chest in the supine and lateral decubitus positions will occasionally facilitate the detection of a pleural friction rub when conventional examinations may not do so. Two patients are described in whom this method was used.

Greenhouse Fungicide — Environmental Carcinogen?, Marvin D. Anderson, Herbert S. Rosenkranz
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A simple screening method, in which a bacterial mutant deficient in its ability to repair DNA, was used to detect genetic damage from a widely-used fungicide. The finding strengthens the suspicion that it may be a potent human carcinogen. The unique role of the physician in eliciting a history of exposure from a patient with cancer is emphasized in the case report.

Electrical Alternans In Cardiac Tamponade, Andreas P. Niarchos
Electrical Alternans In Cardiac Tamponade, Andreas P. Niarchos
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Of nine patients with pericardial effusion due to various causes, four developed cardiac tamponade. Electrical alternans was present In all four, being total in three, and ventricular in one. From the diagnostic point of view, the alternans corresponded with the clinical diagnosis of cardiac tamponade and the radiological signs of a large pericardial effusion. The pericardial fluid was hemorrhagic in three patients and transudate (hydropericardium) in the fourth. In two patients alternans was present with heart rates below 100 per minute. Apart from the exact (1:1) type of electrical alternans, three new types are described; a 2:1, 3:1 and a …
The Effectiveness Of Oxandrolone In Promoting Linear Growth In Growth Hormone Deficient Children, Charles B. Wolf, Raymond C. Mellinger, Lewis B. Morrow, M. Saeed-Uz Zafar
The Effectiveness Of Oxandrolone In Promoting Linear Growth In Growth Hormone Deficient Children, Charles B. Wolf, Raymond C. Mellinger, Lewis B. Morrow, M. Saeed-Uz Zafar
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This two-year study consisted of a comparison of oxandrolone and growth hormone for the treatment of five children with documented growth hormone deficiency. Previously, androgens have been reported to be relatively ineffective in accelerating linear growth In growth hormone deficient children. Oxandrolone was administered for one year. Growth hormone was added in the second six months and then was given as a single agent in the third six months. Growth accelerated markedly in all patients. Only one child showed more rapid growth with the addition of growth hormone while two children actually grew more rapidly under the Influence of oxandrolone …

Efficacy Of Betaprone With Ultraviolet Irradiation On Hepatitis B Antigen In Human Plasma Pools (A Retrospective Study), Gerald A. Logrippo, Hajime Hayashi
Efficacy Of Betaprone With Ultraviolet Irradiation On Hepatitis B Antigen In Human Plasma Pools (A Retrospective Study), Gerald A. Logrippo, Hajime Hayashi
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
In a retrospective study, hepatitis B antigen (HB Ag) was found in 14 lots of human plasma pools (16-20 liters each) that had been treated by the combined Betaprone (BPL) with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation procedure. No evidence of clinical hepatitis was found during a six-month follow-up after 185.2 liters of HB Ag positive plasma were Infused into 257 patients. Since HB Ag positive blood products treated by BPL with UV produced no clinical hepatitis, it is evident that our treatment is efficacious against hepatitis virus agents.
Surgical Treatment Of Liver Trauma: Technical Considerations And Case Reports, C. Grodsinsky, T. A. Fox Jr., B. E. Brush
Surgical Treatment Of Liver Trauma: Technical Considerations And Case Reports, C. Grodsinsky, T. A. Fox Jr., B. E. Brush
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The incidence of abdominal trauma, and thus that of liver trauma, has been increasing in the past few years. Improvements in the understanding of the anatomy of the liver and improvements in diagnostic techniques have resulted in shorter and better operations with less delay between injury and surgery. Improvements in transportation to adequate hospital facilities and vigorous resuscitative measures have also contributed to lowering the mortality rate for this type of injury. Suggestions are made for the surgical management of liver injuries, together with illustrative case reports.
Near Basal Blood Pressure: A Method Applicable To Clinical Practice, John R. Caldwell
Near Basal Blood Pressure: A Method Applicable To Clinical Practice, John R. Caldwell
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A method is described for determining near basal blood pressure (NBBP) measurements that is applicable to outpatient clinic or office use in daily practice. In our clinic, patients' mean casual pressure was significantly higher than the NBBP, the difference being 40 mm Hg systolic (p < .001) and 18 mm Hg diastolic (p < .001). In hospitalized patients the casual blood pressure was higher than the fourth to sixth day hospital average, and the hospital average was higher than NBBP. The difference between the last two was 15 mm Hg systolic (p <. 005) and 9 mm Hg diastolic (p < .005). In patients recording blood pressure readings at home the average weekly home-recorded blood pressure was not significantly different from NBBP during the same week, -1 mm Hg systolic (p > .80) and 4 mm Hg diastolic (p > .10). NBBP by this method offers a practical way to estimate the average daily blood pressure.
Localization Of Deep Abscesses With Radioactive Isotopes: An Experimental Study, H. M. Allen, R. Berguer, L. A. Dusault, M. A. Block
Localization Of Deep Abscesses With Radioactive Isotopes: An Experimental Study, H. M. Allen, R. Berguer, L. A. Dusault, M. A. Block
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Life-endangering effects of deep abscesses make early and precise identification and localization important to permit adequate surgical drainage. An experiment was undertaken to study the feasibility of detecting abscesses by using leucocytes tagged with radioactive isotopes. For the labeling, 51chromium appeared preferable to 131iodine or 99technetium. Leucocytes so labelled will concentrate sufficiently in abscesses to permit identification of abscesses by scintillation scanning. For clinical application, techniques require further simplification and refinement to eliminate interference by collection of radioactive isotopes in the liver and spleen.

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis With Systemic Sclerosis, Pedro A. Diaz, Bernard M. Schuman
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis With Systemic Sclerosis, Pedro A. Diaz, Bernard M. Schuman
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Two patients with combinedbilian/ cirrhosis and scleroderma are described. Both patients also presented features of the CRST syndrome, namely Raynaud's phenomenon, and telangiectasiae. Nine previously reported cases are reviewed and the clinical data suggest that a common underlying immunologic basis may account for both clinical conditions.

A Clinical Trial Of Tobramycin With Pharmacological And Microbiological Studies, Keith Burch, Richard D. Nichols, Edward L. Quinn, Frank Cox, Evelyn J. Fisher, T. Madhavan, Donald Pohlod
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Tobramycin, a new aminoglycoside antibiotic, was shown to be effective in vitroagainst Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter, Proteus mirabilis, indole-positive Proteus, and Eshcherichia coli. It was shown to produce serum and urine concentrations similar to gentamicin when administered intramuscularly. Preliminary animal studies showed this agent to have nephrotoxic and ototoxic effects similar to gentamicin. In our studies, tobramycin was well tolerated and produced only two transient elevations in serum creatinine and no abnormalities in audiograms and vestibular function tests. It was effective in 10 of 12 susceptible infections, including 2 of 4 with Pseudomonas endocarditis. Tobramycin compared favorably with gentamicin …
