A Replacement Prosthesis For The Hip: A Preliminary Report, H. M. Frost, E. R. Guise
A Replacement Prosthesis For The Hip: A Preliminary Report, H. M. Frost, E. R. Guise
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Because of theoretical as well as practical difficulty in the total hip endoprostheses available to orthopaedic surgeons at the present time, an anlysis of the present and potential difficulties reveals that substitution of a roller-bearing for the present slider-bearing prosthesis and the establishment of a larger end-bearing surface on the acetabular side would be of benefit. Thus, the Ring prosthesis was re-designed to satisfy these hopes. A modification of the Ring's approach gives complete acetabular exposure and control of the prosthetic insertion. This is a preliminary report describing the design modifications of a prosthesis, presently under investigation, and illustrated by …
Fever In Neoplastic Disease, Samuel L. Rosenthal, Robert W. Talley
Fever In Neoplastic Disease, Samuel L. Rosenthal, Robert W. Talley
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A comparison is made between incidence of fever in 132 patients with various types of disseminated cancer and 57 patients with diseases other than cancer during a 2- month observation period. Fifty-three febrile episodes were observed in cancer patients. Of these, 15 were of undetermined origin and 6 were noninfectious; none of the episodes occurred immediately following surgery. In the control group of 57 patients, there were 12 febrile episodes; of these, 7 were due to proven bacterial infection, 2 were due lo possible bacterial infection, and 3 were of undetermined etiology. All three febrile episodes in this latter group …
The Hazards Of Rubella Serodiagnosis From Single Serum Studies In Pregnancy, Gerald A. Logrippo, Hajime Hayashi
The Hazards Of Rubella Serodiagnosis From Single Serum Studies In Pregnancy, Gerald A. Logrippo, Hajime Hayashi
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Hemagglutination-inhibition (HA-I) titres for rubella were studied in 200 nurses, 87 pregnant women, in plasma and serum pools, and in laboratory personnel. The percentage of individuals susceptible to rubella in the child-bearing ages was 11.5%> among the non-pregnant nurses and 23% among the pregnant women assayed at their first prenatal visit. Serodiagnosis of active rubella necessitates two or more serial serum studies during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Co-Existent Klinefelter's Syndrome, Acquired Cutaneous Hepatic Porphyria And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, M. Saeed-Uz-Zafar, W. R. Gronewald, G. B. Bluhm
Co-Existent Klinefelter's Syndrome, Acquired Cutaneous Hepatic Porphyria And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, M. Saeed-Uz-Zafar, W. R. Gronewald, G. B. Bluhm
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A patient is reported with Klinefelter's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and acquired cutaneous hepatic porphyria. Although patients with chromatin positive Klinefelter's syndrome may have elevated auto-antibodies, this patient had definite diagnostic criteria for SLE. Furthermore, evidence of disturbed porphyrin metabolism compatible with acquired cutaneous hepatic porphyria was found. It is speculated that the major disturbance in our patient's porphyrin biosynthesis may be distal to ^-ALA synthetase. Any association between the three diseases is conjectural: however, it is noteworthy that both SLE and porphyria are more common in the female and that our patient had two X chromosomes in addition …
Immunologic Competence In Idiopathic Ulcerative Colitis (Humoral Aspects Of Immunity), Gerald A. Logrippo, Klaus Anselm, Hajime Hayashi, Robert J. Priest
Immunologic Competence In Idiopathic Ulcerative Colitis (Humoral Aspects Of Immunity), Gerald A. Logrippo, Klaus Anselm, Hajime Hayashi, Robert J. Priest
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Systemic immune status was studied in 86 idiopathic ulcerative colitis patients. Quantitation of the major serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) and qualitation for specific enteropathogens (bacterial and viral) associated with the immunoglobulins are correlated with the severity and duration of the disease. The studies demonstrate the immunologic competence of these patients to respond to a variety of infections with normal activity and hyperactivity. In addition, systemic complications associated with ulcerative colitis, particularly liver involvement, are reflected in the immunologic studies.
Dose-Response Relationship Of Bile Flow To Cholecystokinin Stimulation As Measured By Duodenal Drainage, Robert J. Priest, Roberto F. Gluckmann, J. Edward Berk, Joseph A. Rinaldo
Dose-Response Relationship Of Bile Flow To Cholecystokinin Stimulation As Measured By Duodenal Drainage, Robert J. Priest, Roberto F. Gluckmann, J. Edward Berk, Joseph A. Rinaldo
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A study was done to evaluate the dose-response of cholecystokinin administered intravenously to normal patients and to patients with diseased gallbladders. The volumes of bile and bilirubin units were measured in duodenal aspirates. A dosage of cholecystokinin between 12.5 and 25 Ivy dog units differentiated the several categories studied. Lower doses of cholecystokinin resulted in no change in the volume of bile, but significantly reduced the output of bilirubin units.

The Prevention Of Recurrent Peritoneal Adhesions: A Clinical And Laboratory Investigation, T. A. Cromwell, Joseph L. Ponka
The Prevention Of Recurrent Peritoneal Adhesions: A Clinical And Laboratory Investigation, T. A. Cromwell, Joseph L. Ponka
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This study documented the fact that recurrent episodes of small bowel obstruction were not uncommon (38%) in a review of 120 patients who underwent lysis of adhesions or lysis of adhesions and Noble Plication. A laboratory experiment using dogs was constructed to compare dextran to a combined promethazine-dexamethasone regimen for the prevention of adhesion formation in the immediate post-operative period. Dextran was completely ineffective in preventing adhesion reformation. Meticulous surgical technique remains the single most important factor in adhesion prevention.
Mycosis Fungoides With Thrombotic Microangiopathy And Major Central Nervous System Manifestations, T. A. Chapel, S. M. Saeed, B. W. Steinhauer
Mycosis Fungoides With Thrombotic Microangiopathy And Major Central Nervous System Manifestations, T. A. Chapel, S. M. Saeed, B. W. Steinhauer
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A case of mycosis fungoides is presented which terminated in death by an acute central nervous system illness. Autopsy revealed thrombotic microangiopathy. This is felt to be the first report of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura occurring in a patient with mycosis fungoides. Since thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura has been reported in association with other malignancies, the association of these relatively rare disorders may represent more than a coincidence.
Renal Cell Carcinoma Masquerading As A Pancreatic Pseudocyst: A Case Report, Stuart J. Kingma, Hubert M. Allen
Renal Cell Carcinoma Masquerading As A Pancreatic Pseudocyst: A Case Report, Stuart J. Kingma, Hubert M. Allen
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A case is reported in which an abdominal mass was treated initially as a traumatic pseudocyst of the pancreas. Subsequent studies elucidated the true nature of the lesion, a renal cell carcinoma. The use of visceral arteriography as a definitive diagnostic tool is illustrated by this case.
Immunoglobulin Levels In Spinal Fluid And Saliva By Direct Immunochemical Assay And Microscopic Measurements, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry
Immunoglobulin Levels In Spinal Fluid And Saliva By Direct Immunochemical Assay And Microscopic Measurements, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The immunochemical procedure used in this hospital for serum immunoglobulins (Igs) has been modified to increase sensitivity (5-to-20-fold) so that minute quantities of immunoglobulins can now be measured directly in unconcentrated body fluids. Normal spinal fluid Ig levels (±2 S.D. from normal means) were found to be: 0.01-0.21 mg/100 ml for IgA; 0.5-2.50 mg/100 for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Normal (pooled) salivary Ig levels were found to be 0.01-2.25 mg/100 ml for IgA: trace quandties to 1.85 mg/100 ml for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Spinal fluid and salivary Igs were assayed in 227 adults …
The Effect Of Phenobarbital On Serum Bilirubin Of Full Term Infants: A Controlled Study, Mary J. Kokosky, Harold A. Falconer, Lester Weiss
The Effect Of Phenobarbital On Serum Bilirubin Of Full Term Infants: A Controlled Study, Mary J. Kokosky, Harold A. Falconer, Lester Weiss
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Three bundled twenty-eight infants weighing more than 2500 grams were studied for the effect of low dose phenobarbital (15 mg/day) upon third and fifth day serum bilirubin levels. The groups were divided according to sex, race and type of treatment. Controls were made for the possible effect of the 14% ethanol contained in phenobarbital elixir. It was found that males had higher mean serum bilirubin levels than females, Caucasians had higher mean serum bilirubin levels than Negroes, and control infants had higher serum bilirubin values than those infants treated with phenobarbital. However, in those patients who had lower serum bilirubin …

Assessing Attempted Suicide, Walter J. Cassidy
Assessing Attempted Suicide, Walter J. Cassidy
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Fifty successive patients attempting suicide are assessed from the standpoint of communication (how, when and to whom), manipulativeness, impulsiveness and the dangerousness of the pattern of behavior involved in the attempted suicide. This assessment is meant to clarify the component motivations of suicidal behavior, appeal and self-destruction. The earlier, more obvious the communication, the more definite is the manipulation, the more readily apparent the appeal function. Conversely the later, the less obvious the communication or the absence of communication, the more subtle or absent manipulation the greater is the dominance of self-destructive motivation over the appeal function of the attempted …

Percutaneous Absorption Of Betamethasone-17-Benzoate, George R. Mikhail
Percutaneous Absorption Of Betamethasone-17-Benzoate, George R. Mikhail
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Percutaneous absorption of betamethasone-17-benzoate, a new topical corticosteroid, was sufficient enough to result in adrenocortical suppression in patients with psoriasis or atopic dermatitis when 0.025% of the steroid cream was applied under occlusion to 30% or more of the body surface, using 9 gm or more of the preparation. The adrenal function returned to normal within a short time after the cream was discontinued.
Quantitative Determination Of C-Reactive Protein (Crp) By Micro-Double Diffusion Technic, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry
Quantitative Determination Of C-Reactive Protein (Crp) By Micro-Double Diffusion Technic, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
C-reactive protein (CRP) determinations in serum have been evaluated by two methods: the capillary tube method (presently in use) and the double diffusion technic (a newly developed procedure standardized in this laboratory). Advantages of the double diffusion technic are (1) quantitation of CRP in milligrams per 100 ml of serum, (2) differentiation of CRP from non-specific precipitates often found in patients' sera, and (3) increased sensitivity. A normal range of CRP levels has been established by analyzing serum from 750 supposedly healthy blood bank donors. Ninety-five percent of the donor population possess less than 1.0 mg of CRP per 100 …

Hypophyseal Growth Hormone Ii. Interaction With Other Hormones, M. Saeed-Uz-Zafar, Raymond C. Mellinger, Lewis B. Morrow
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Growth hormone (GH) synthesis and release is controlled by hypothalamic GH releasing factor. Thyroid hormones, androgens and estrogens in physiologic concentrations enhance GH secretion but a controlling role for glucagon and vasopressin in GH release is not established. Under stress, ACTH directly facilitates GH release while the similar action of the catecholamines is mediated by the a-adrenergic receptors. Though physiologic doses of glucorticoids and progestins do not affect GH liberation, prolonged administration of medroxyprogesterone acetate or of glucocorticoids in high dosage will decrease blood levels or blunt Gti responsiveness. GH enhances the release of insulin. A shift in adrenal steroid …

Health Nurse Clinician: An Extended Role For The Professional Nurse, C. E. Rupe, Diana Downs, Diane L. Kerr, William W. Hardy
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A program to upgrade the level of nursing involvement in patient care has been established in conjunction with Wayne Slate University. Offered as a possible solution to the shortage of health care personnel, the master's degree program would result in an upward movement of medical personnel and provide more continuity of care to the patient. More specifically, the trained Health Nurse Clinician would be able to provide better nursing care because of the nurse's greater awareness of the patient's health problem. She (or he) could also free the physician from some of the time-consuming aspects of routine physical examination without …
Effect Of Normal Menstrual Cycle On Platelet Adhesiveness, Janet Mak Yeung
Effect Of Normal Menstrual Cycle On Platelet Adhesiveness, Janet Mak Yeung
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Platelet adhesiveness was measured at intervals during the menstrual cycle in six normal females. Three normal males were studied during the .tame period of time to serve as controls. There was a significant difference of the variation of platelet adhesiveness between the two groups during the period of 30 days. Five out of six females showed much greater fluctuation than the males. No definite trend was observed in the platelet adhesiveness of females in relation to the menstrual cycle in this preliminary study. A larger number of samples from the population will be necessary to obtain a more accurate result.
Mixed Gonadal Stroma Cell Tumor Of The Testicle: A Case Report, Gerald B. Farrow, Arthur J. Johnson
Mixed Gonadal Stroma Cell Tumor Of The Testicle: A Case Report, Gerald B. Farrow, Arthur J. Johnson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A specialized gonadal stromal tumor of mixed nature found in a 20-year-old Negro male is reported. Although the tumor had been present for six to seven years, there was no evidence of metastases or of hormonal imbalance. Reference is made to the confusing nomenclature of these rare tumors.
