Promethazine-Chlorpromazine Combination In The Treatment Of Unmanageable Psychotic Patients, Armando R. Favazza Dec 1969

Promethazine-Chlorpromazine Combination In The Treatment Of Unmanageable Psychotic Patients, Armando R. Favazza

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Administering a combination of promethazine and chlorpromazine to patients with a "galloping psychosis" has an antipsychotic and tranquilizing effect which calms them down to a more manageable and less aggressive state. The drugs are chemically similar; promethazine's actions are strongly potentiated in the combination, so large doses must be given under careful supervision. Case histories demonstrate successful short term management of acutely psychotic, aggressive patients who were a danger to themselves and others.


Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis: The Report Of A Case Associated With Severe Pulmonary Disease And Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Russell J. Crider, Philip Bentlif Dec 1969

Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis: The Report Of A Case Associated With Severe Pulmonary Disease And Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Russell J. Crider, Philip Bentlif

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is discussed with emphasis on its clinical, radiologic, sigmoidoscopic, surgical and pathological characteristics. The four theories of the etiology of P.Cl. are neoplastic, infectious, nutritional, and mechanical. These theories are discussed, and a case of P.C.I, associated with severe pulmonary disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia is presented to lend support to the mechanical theory.

The Prevalence Rate Of Congenital Heart Disease In Newborn Gerbils (Meriones Unguiculatus): A Preliminary Report, Jami G. Shakibi, Lester Weiss Dec 1969

The Prevalence Rate Of Congenital Heart Disease In Newborn Gerbils (Meriones Unguiculatus): A Preliminary Report, Jami G. Shakibi, Lester Weiss

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A preliminary report on the prevalence rate of congenital heart disease in newborn gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) is presented. Serial sections of the entire heart of 100 liveborn gerbils were studied. The prevalence rate of congenital heart disease was 4%. Ventricular septal defect was the most frequent lesion. This is in agreement with previous reports on rats.


Photographic Features Of Benign And Malignant Ulcers, N. V. Carandang, B. M. Schuman, R. J. Priest Dec 1969

Photographic Features Of Benign And Malignant Ulcers, N. V. Carandang, B. M. Schuman, R. J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

One hundred and twenty-nine cases of benign gastric ulcer and 17 cases of malignant gastric ulcer studied by intragastric photography are reviewed. The benign ulcer, characterized by symmetrical contour and smooth base, was diagnosed correctly on the initial photographic study in 97.7% of cases. Malignant ulcers were diagnosed correctly in 59% of cases on the first study. The importance of color photography to complement roentgenographic evaluation of gastric ulceration is emphasized.

Stress Urinary Incontinence In The Human Female: Gravity And Ecomorphologic Influences On Bladder And Urethral Function Of The Human Female, C. Paul Hodgkinson Sep 1969

Stress Urinary Incontinence In The Human Female: Gravity And Ecomorphologic Influences On Bladder And Urethral Function Of The Human Female, C. Paul Hodgkinson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study was undertaken to determine if the biped stale of the human female constituted a stress force in urethrovesical physiological function. To arrive at realistic conclusions, the ecomorphologic changes incidental to the conquest of gravity by the vertebrates have been reviewed. Accepting the evolutionary precepts as expressed by Hobart Smith that "if all parts of the evolutionary chain were known, it would be impossible to draw a logical distinction between man and nonman, Romer slated "Bone for bone, muscle for muscle, organ for organ, almost every feature of the ape is repeated in the human body. The differences are …

Aqueous Microbiology: The Possible Role Of Cell Wall Deficient Bacteria In Uveitis, Philip C. Hessburg, Lioa H. Mattman, Carolyn Barth, Lloyd T. Dutcheshen Sep 1969

Aqueous Microbiology: The Possible Role Of Cell Wall Deficient Bacteria In Uveitis, Philip C. Hessburg, Lioa H. Mattman, Carolyn Barth, Lloyd T. Dutcheshen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Samples of aqueous humor were obtained from the anterior chamber of patients with uveitis. Bacterial L-forms, or cell wall deficient forms, were recovered from 11 of 19 eyes with unexplained uveitis. These bacterial variants were cultured on newer, highly specialized media and stained with acridine orange. This stain demonstrates fluorescence of nucleic acids under UV microscopy.

Angiographic and gravametric studies of dog kidneys perfused with electrolyte, Dextran, or albumin solution are presented to demonstrate the possibility of extending organ preservation for transplantation without loss of function. Findings include a reduction in flow and weight gain with the nonprotein solutions and maintenance of flow with albumin solution. Gross changes of the perfused kidneys are also described.


A New Full Orifice Disc Valve For Mitral Replacement, Rodman E. Taber, Yasuharu Imai Sep 1969

A New Full Orifice Disc Valve For Mitral Replacement, Rodman E. Taber, Yasuharu Imai

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Because of dissatisfaction with certain features of the currently available ball and disc valve prostheses when implanted in patients with mitral stenosis and a small volume left ventricle, a full orifice discoid valve has been designed which avoids many of these shortcomings. The valve has been tested mechanically in a pulse duplicator and compared lo existing prostheses. High speed cine studies were used to evaluate turbulence. Implantation was carried out in animals. Evaluation by these various methods indicates that the valve is satisfactory for human implantation and may have significant advantages over other artificial valves when used in patients with …

Chronic Acute Hepatitis, Klaus Anselm

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The current literature concerning chronic acute hepatitis is reviewed. The clinical picture, morphology, laboratory data and etiology are discussed. It is pointed out that much work is still to be done toward fully understanding this disease. A program of treatment is suggested.


Decompressive Laminectomy In The Management Of Spinal Epidural Metastases, J. Speed Rogers, Robert S. Knighton Sep 1969

Decompressive Laminectomy In The Management Of Spinal Epidural Metastases, J. Speed Rogers, Robert S. Knighton

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In a series of 60 patients undergoing decompression laminectomy for metastatic malignancy, the median survival was 3.3 months with 11 patients (18%) living for at least one year and ambulating during part of this survival period. Forty-three per cent of the group were able to ambulate for at least some period postoperatively. If a patient could ambulate preoperatively he had a two-thirds chance of ambulating afterwards; conversely, if he could not ambulate preoperatively. he had a two-thirds chance of not ambulating postoperatively. The lymphoma group had the best prognosis. Long lesions and highly vascular tumors fared poorly. Paralysis (as defined …


Eosinophils, Lawrence C. Sweet Sep 1969

Eosinophils, Lawrence C. Sweet

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Despite the fact that the eosinophilic leukocyte has been known as a distinct entity for 123 years and has been the subject of extensive research and numerous scientific papers, its precise function remains an enigma. A diverse array of clinical conditions are known to be associated with eosinophilia but even here the role of this cell in the pathological process remains unknown. Recent experimenlal work suggests that allergens, antigens, antigen-antibody complexes, and components of complement may function as eosinophilotactic stimuli. Eosinophils phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes as well as a variety of particulate substances. Their granules have been identified as lysosomes and …

The Clinical Use Of Fluorine18 In Bone Scanning, R. A. Gatesi, A. T. Vulpetti, T. L. Kosnik, W. G. Tucker, R. W. Talley Jun 1969

The Clinical Use Of Fluorine18 In Bone Scanning, R. A. Gatesi, A. T. Vulpetti, T. L. Kosnik, W. G. Tucker, R. W. Talley

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Roentgenograms are frequently inadequate in the detection of early osseous metastases. Isotope bone scan is a more sensitive diagnostic procedure. Reported here are findings on 40 patients with known or suspected osseous involvement using the short-lived radionuclide 18F. Comparison with standard roentgenograms and clinical follow-up demonstrated 11 early detections. 18F was found to be a very suitable agent for isotope bone scanning. Ilustrative cases are presented


Primary Closure And Iliac Osteotomy In The Treatment Of Exstrophy Of The Bladder: A Case Report, Louis Z. Shifrin, Arthur Johnson, Lester Weiss Jun 1969

Primary Closure And Iliac Osteotomy In The Treatment Of Exstrophy Of The Bladder: A Case Report, Louis Z. Shifrin, Arthur Johnson, Lester Weiss

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Exstrophy of the bladder is a rare but serious congenital affliction. Untreated, exstrophy is associated with unacceptable morbidity and mortality. A case report is presented in which primary closure of the bladder and bilateral iliac osteotomy was successfully employed to gain anatomic correction of the bladder defect. However, the value of this surgical technique in restoring normal function of the lower urinary tract system is questionable.


Studies Of The Electrical Parameters And Behavioral Effects Of An Eeg ''Seizure Discharge", W. R. Mccrum, R. M. Lee, H. Van Den Ende, L. D. Proctor, J. A. Lee Jun 1969

Studies Of The Electrical Parameters And Behavioral Effects Of An Eeg ''Seizure Discharge", W. R. Mccrum, R. M. Lee, H. Van Den Ende, L. D. Proctor, J. A. Lee

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Nemastrina monkeys with multiple electrodes implanted in the amygdaloid area of the brain were used to study the relationship of electrical seizures and overt behavior. The electrical seizures were produced by long duration electrical pulses administered through the implanted electrodes. There appears to be no relationship between this kind of electrical seizure and lever pressing performance. Relationships between depth EEG, depth impedance, DC potential and surface EEG are observed and as a consequence some ideas concerning the genesis of the electroencephalogram are put forth.


A Preliminary Evaluation Of Azathioprine (Imuran®) In The Treatment Of Multiple Sclerosis, William G. Tucker, K. H. Kapphahn Jun 1969

A Preliminary Evaluation Of Azathioprine (Imuran®) In The Treatment Of Multiple Sclerosis, William G. Tucker, K. H. Kapphahn

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A theoretical approach to the unknown etiology of multiple sclerosis is presented in this preliminary study which reports the results of empiric treatment with azathioprine. Imuran® therapy produced stabilization of the disease, neurological improvement, and no progress of neurological dysfunction or loss of any regained function. Evidence points toward a viral-induced immunological defect. Abnormal gamma globulins found in the cerebral spinal fluid suggest an immunological etiology.


Sarcoidosis And Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: First Report Of Coexistence, Ellis J. Vanslyck, Dipankarsri Dasgupta Jun 1969

Sarcoidosis And Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: First Report Of Coexistence, Ellis J. Vanslyck, Dipankarsri Dasgupta

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A patient is described in whom sarcoidosis of the mediastinal lymph nodes was found during the course of acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. The association of these two diseases should be differentiated from the more commonly seen thrombocytopenia of hypersplenic origin, occurring during the disseminated stage of sarcoidosis, in which granulomatous involvement of an enlarged spleen is found. An elevated serum IgM immunoglobulin level was present. These observations possibly strengthen the concept that an immunological disorder plays a significant role in sarcoidosis.

Isotope Cisternography — Risa®, J. L. Fenton, W. R. Eyler, L. A. Dusault, G. M. Griser, F. C. Stebner

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Several cases are presented which illustrate the indications and results of a relatively new procedure of intrathecal injection of radioiodinated human seruin albumin I 131 to demonstrate cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. This procedure has been used in conjunction with pneumoencephalography in the diagnosis of communicating hydrocephalus. A proper dose as well as adequate volume are necessary to obtain diagnostic scans.
