Setting Up An Adolescent Clinic In A Suburban Pediatric Office Group Practice, Patricia K. Stoltz, Kathleen B. Blumer
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Teenagers in the United States experience significant mortality and morbidity because of high-risk behaviors. Adolescents need routine health supervision aimed at reducing these risks. A Teen Clinic within the Pediatrics Clinic at the Henry Ford Hospital Fairlane Center offers separate facilities, longer appointments, and an emphasis on adolescent issues. This plan is a model for practitioners in various office settings who seek to improve adolescent care.
Isolated Cataplexy: A Familial Study, Kristyna M. Hartse, Frank J. Zorick, Jeanne M. Sicklesteel, Thomas Roth
Isolated Cataplexy: A Familial Study, Kristyna M. Hartse, Frank J. Zorick, Jeanne M. Sicklesteel, Thomas Roth
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Four members of a family, a mother, her two sons, and the mother's second cousin, presented with a history of isolated cataplexy without excessive daytime sleepiness or other symptoms typical of narcolepsy. They were polygraphically monitored during one night followed by a day of multiple nap tests. No subject manifested objective daytime sleepiness as measured by short latencies to sleep onset during daytime naps, and no subject exhibited periods of sleep onset rapid eye movement sleep in either the night or nap recordings. The incidence of isolated cataplexy in this family was traced by history through six generations. We conclude …

Duplication And Deletion 11q23-Q24 Recombinants In Two Offspring Of An Intrachromosomal Insertion ("Shift") Carrier, Miriam G. Forsythe, Hugh Walker, Lester Weiss, Jacquelyn R. Roberson, Maria J. Worsham, V. Ramesh Babu, Daniel L. Van Dyke
Duplication And Deletion 11q23-Q24 Recombinants In Two Offspring Of An Intrachromosomal Insertion ("Shift") Carrier, Miriam G. Forsythe, Hugh Walker, Lester Weiss, Jacquelyn R. Roberson, Maria J. Worsham, V. Ramesh Babu, Daniel L. Van Dyke
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Few examples of intrachromosomal insertions have been described. These usually result from deletion of a segment of chromosome material, with insertion of the deleted material elsewhere on the same chromosome. Previous insertional translocations have been identified through a proband who has either a deletion or a duplication of the inserted segment. We describe a family which has two probands, one with a duplication and one with a deletion of the inserted segment. The unbalanced chromosomes probably resulted from an uneven number of crossovers between the breakpoints in the chromosome 11 of the father, who carries a balanced intrachromosomal insertion of …
Serum Creatinine Concentrations In Healthy Newborns: Reference Ranges During The First Five Days Of Life, Jennie Andreson, Jaime Alfredo Zegarra, Carlos Alberto Estrada, Francis Dumler
Serum Creatinine Concentrations In Healthy Newborns: Reference Ranges During The First Five Days Of Life, Jennie Andreson, Jaime Alfredo Zegarra, Carlos Alberto Estrada, Francis Dumler
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Serum creatinine concentrations were studied in 52 healthy, full-term infants (29 males and 23 females) during the first five days of life. At birth, mean serum creatinine concentration was 0.76 ± 0.13 mg/dL. At 6 hours of life, values increased to 0.97 ± 0.11 mg/dL (P < 0.001) and remained elevated for 24 hours. Values then returned to baseline so that serum creatinine concentrations were 0.81 ± 0.15 mg/dL at 48 hours and 0.6l ± 0.15 mg/dL at 3 to 5 days of age. At birth, serum creatinine concentrations were higher in males than in females (0.80 ± 0.13 versus 0.71 ± 0.11 mg/dL, respectively; P < 0.009). However, the increases in serum creatinine concentration observed after birth were similar in both sexes. This is the first report of a prospective longitudinal study of serum creatinine concentrations between birth and 3 to 5 days of age in a Hispanic population. In addition, data were analyzed by sex. The results are a useful reference for normal serum creatinine concentrations in early life.
The Pediatrician's Guide To Food Allergy, John A. Anderson
The Pediatrician's Guide To Food Allergy, John A. Anderson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Food allergy occurs in as many as 5% of infants less than 1 year old. Most food sensitivities disappear by age 3 to 4. Most immunologically mediated food allergy reactions are due to type I IgE mechanisms, with skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory signs and symptoms the most common manifestations. U sing the double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) technique and atopic dermatitis as a model, the most common foods to which children are allergic are cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat, fish, and soy proteins. Anaphylactic sensitivity in older children often involves crustacean seafoods (eg, shrimp), nuts, peanuts, fish, and eggs. Such …

Adolescent Pregnancy And Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Case Report, Ruby L. Holloway, Richard Smith
Adolescent Pregnancy And Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Case Report, Ruby L. Holloway, Richard Smith
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
More than 1 million teenagers become pregnant every year in the United States. Nearly one-half of the pregnancies are carried to term, while a similar number end in abortion. In Michigan this amounts to approximately 34,000 teenage pregnancies (ages 15 to 19). These adolescent patients have a high incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Of the pregnant teens at Henry Ford Hospital. 60% present with one or more STDs. We discuss the case of a 13-year-old pregnant girl who presented at five weeks estimated gestation with gonorrhea, chlamydia, and appendiceal perforation, resulting in subsequent spontaneous abortion. Further discussion focuses on …

Paget Bone Disease And Heredity: A Case Report, Donato Agnusdei, Roberto Civitelli, Angelo Camporeale, Carlo Gennari
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Evidence on familial aggregation of Paget disease of bone shows that the trait is controlled by a single dominant gene. Due to the late onset of the disease, the primary biochemical abnormalities leading to the characteristic roentgenographic features are still unknown. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman who had an elevated serum alkaline phosphatase on routine analysis. Family history revealed that her father and paternal grandmother had Paget bone disease. This pattern is compatible with an autosomic dominant inheritance. Complete laboratory workup confirmed high heat labile alkaline phosphatase values, along with high serum osteocalcin and urinary hydroxyproline excretion. …

Osteoporosis As A Community Health Problem: Lessons Learned From Studying Hypertension, Michael Kleerekoper, Dorothy A. Nelson
Osteoporosis As A Community Health Problem: Lessons Learned From Studying Hypertension, Michael Kleerekoper, Dorothy A. Nelson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Campaigns to increase the medical and lay communities' awareness and understanding of the problems of unrecognized and untreated hypertension have led to a progressive decline in morbidity and mortality from hypertension-related diseases. While osteoporosis is also a community health problem, educational and awareness campaigns are still in their infancy and decades may pass before these result in a declining morbidity and mortality from osteoporosis. We identify areas where concepts learned from years of hypertension research might be applicable lo the study of osteoporosis as a community health problem and thereby lessen the time needed to effect a declining morbidity and …
Significance Of Antinuclear Antibody (Ana) Immunofluorescent Patterns And Titers In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Nephritis, Syed Akbar, Abel I. Tello, Usana Luvira, Rollin Heinzerling, Raymond Romanski, Nathan W. Levin, Thomas K. H. Burnham
Significance Of Antinuclear Antibody (Ana) Immunofluorescent Patterns And Titers In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Nephritis, Syed Akbar, Abel I. Tello, Usana Luvira, Rollin Heinzerling, Raymond Romanski, Nathan W. Levin, Thomas K. H. Burnham
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Seventy-three patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) nephritis were studied for up to eight years using sequential serologic and renal function tests and renal biopsies. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) patterns and titers were classified into two systems: nonparticulate and particulate. We found a close relationship between disease activity and changes in titers of the nonparticulate peripheral homogeneous system. These changes predicted imminent flare-up or immunosuppressive induced remission of nephritis. Patients with the thready ANA pattern (part of the particulate system) as the main pattern showed a predominant association with membranous glomerulopathy and better renal function than those without threads. The association …
Obesity And Hypertension: A Review, Khaled Imam, James R. Sowers
Obesity And Hypertension: A Review, Khaled Imam, James R. Sowers
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Obesity is often associated with hypertension. This strong association can be attributed to several pathophysiological changes which occur in obese subjects: increased salt and caloric intake, increased blood volume, increased cardiac output, increased basal as well as stress-stimulated sympathetic nervous system activity, hyperinsulinemia, and a relative increase in renin and aldosterone. Obesity usually increases the preload and causes an eccentric cardiac hypertrophy, while hypertension increases the afterload and causes concentric cardiac hypertrophy. When both obesity and hypertension occur in the same patient (as is often the case), they present …
