Imaging, Screening, Artificial Intelligence, And The Diagnostic Dilemma: An Epidemiologist's Response, John C. Lane
Imaging, Screening, Artificial Intelligence, And The Diagnostic Dilemma: An Epidemiologist's Response, John C. Lane
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Issues in imaging, screening, and information processing discussed in a special issue of this Journal (Henry Ford Hosp Med J 1985;33:65-148) have implications for the decision-making algorithms of all clinicians who use those imaging and screening techniques. Epidemiologic and psychological research show that clinicians, like other professionals, do not obey the laws of conditional probability in their judgments of risk or outcomes under uncertainty. Although physicians cannot be expected to make complex probabilistic calculations every time they receive the result of a screening test, teachers of medicine should present algorithms that would allow the physician-in-training to make efficient use of …

Interventional Neuroradiology: Henry Ford Hospital Experience With Nonembolization Procedures, Clifford R. Jack, Bharat A. Mehta, Roushdy S. Boulos, Suresh C. Patel, James I. Ausman, Ghaus M. Malik
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Innovative technical developments over the past two decades have resulted in the development of a variety of useful interventional procedures for minimally invasive treatment of a variety of head and neck lesions. We have had experience with four different types of nonembolization interventional neuroradiologic procedures at Henry Ford Hospital from 1981 through 1985. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of six external carotid artery stenoses has been performed in five patients. Five were successful, and the artery became occluded in one patient. Intracarotid BCNU infusion was performed successfully in five patients with recurrent astrocytoma. Intraarterial streptokinase infusion was performed in one patient with …

Recovery Following Acute Pontine Hemorrhage, Janice M. T. Redmond, B. K. Ahmad
Recovery Following Acute Pontine Hemorrhage, Janice M. T. Redmond, B. K. Ahmad
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Massive pontine hemorrhage does not always carry a fatal prognosis. A case report is presented in which many of the features usually associated with a fatal outcome were seen: severe disturbance of consciousness with early onset of coma, decerebrate posturing, systolic BP ranging from 200 mm Hg to 250 mm Hg, and hypopnea. Intensive supportive therapy was instituted during the critical phase, and the patient recovered. Electrophysiological studies helped to define the neurological deficit.
The Phenomenon Of Multiple Stretch Reflexes, Robert D. Teasdall
The Phenomenon Of Multiple Stretch Reflexes, Robert D. Teasdall
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Multiple stretch reflexes occur in muscles adjacent to or remote from the tap. The response may be ipsilateral or bilateral. These reflexes are encountered not only in normal subjects with brisk stretch reflexes but particularly in patients with lesions of the upper motor neuron. The concussion obtained by the blow is conducted along bone to muscle. Muscle spindles are stimulated, and in this manner independent stretch reflexes are produced in these muscles. This mechanism is responsible for the phenomenon of multiple stretch reflexes. The thorax and pelvis play important roles in the contralateral responses by transmitting these mechanical events across …

Muscle Pathology In Total Knee Replacement For Severe Osteoarthritis: A Histochemical And Morphometric Study, Mark A. Glasberg, Janet R. Glasberg, Richard E. Jones
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
We evaluated a series of 12 biopsies from 11 patients with total knee replacements for severe osteoarthritis. All 12 biopsies showed denervation atrophy, while five cases had significant myopathic changes. Morphometric studies indicated a positive atrophy factor (greater than 150) in the type I myofibers in seven cases, the IIA myofibers in nine cases, and the IIB myofibers in all 12 cases. Type I predominance occurred in six cases, IIA paucity in two cases, and IIB paucity in two cases. The results indicate that patients with severe osteoarthritis of the knee have both significant neuropathic and myopathic changes in quadriceps …

Interventional Neuroradiology: Henry Ford Hospital Experience With Transcatheter Embolization Of Vascular Lesions In The Head, Neck, And Spine, Bharat A. Mehta, Clifford R. Jack Jr., Roushdy S. Boulos, Suresh C. Patel, James I. Ausman, Ghaus M. Malik
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Innovative developments over the past 15 years have resulted in increased sophistication and effectiveness of therapeutic neuroembolization procedures. As a result, percutaneous transcatheter embolization has assumed an increasingly important role in the management of patients with vascular lesions of the head, neck, and spine. By reducing bleeding during surgery, this technique can markedly facilitate the surgical approach to difficult vascular lesions. The technique may also be applied in cases where surgery is contraindicated. Therapeutic neuroembolization has been performed in 23 patients with vascular lesions of the head, neck, or spine at Henry Ford Hospital. Devascularization of the extraaxial blood supply …

The Effect Of Sta-Mca Bypass On Regional Cerebral Blood Flow In Ischemic Foci, Wendy M. Robertson, K. M. A. Welch, James R. Ewing, James I. Ausman, Fernando G. Diaz
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The effect of STA-MCA bypass on regional cerebral bloodflow (rCBF) is unclear Since asymmetries of rCBF have previously been shown to identify the focus of maximal cerebral ischemia, a study was performed to assess the effects of surgical revascularization on rCBF in this focus. Sixteen candidates for STA-MCA bypass were studied preoperatively and postoperatively. The rCBF vms measured by the '"Xenon inhalation technique with eight contralateral probe pairs. The probe pair with the maximal percentage difference in initial slope index (ISI) was identified and corresponded to the clinically involved hemisphere in 14 patients. Following surgery, the ISI increased in the …
Psychocardiologic Perspectives Of Coronary Artery Disease, Richard Ketai
Psychocardiologic Perspectives Of Coronary Artery Disease, Richard Ketai
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The importance of mind, emotion, and behavior as they relate to the heart, particularly coronary artery disease, is growing in recognition. A review of the research shows increasingly sophisticated demonstrations of links unifying heart function and mind. "Psychocardiology" would be an appropriate term for the diverse areas of interest which focus on the psychosocial correlates of heart disease. This paper illustrates this concept through a review of psychosocial and behavioral aspects of coronary artery disease.

Intussusception Of The Appendix And Endometriosis, Roberta E. Sonnino, Mohammed R. Ansari
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Intussusception of the appendix, though uncommon, is usually diagnosed during surgery. Endometriosis in an intussuscepted appendix is rarely described. A case of appendiceal intussusception of a rare morphologic type associated with endometriosis is presented, and the literature is briefly reviewed. Etiology, classification, and diagnosis are discussed.
Anti-Hla Antibodies Complicating Infectious Mononucleosis With Thrombocytopenia And Neutropenia, Warren L. Kupin, Maria Sawdyk
Anti-Hla Antibodies Complicating Infectious Mononucleosis With Thrombocytopenia And Neutropenia, Warren L. Kupin, Maria Sawdyk
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A case concerning a 21-year-old male college student with thrombocytopenia and neutropenia complicating infectious mononucleosis is presented. Although the patient had no prior history of alloimmunization, a broad spectrum anti-HLA antibody was strongly positive in his serum. Concomitant with resolution of the hematologic abnormalities, the titer of the antibody diminished. This case is unique both in the severity of the thrombocytopenia and neutropenia and for the circulating HLA antibody most likely of viral origin.

Intraocular Lens Implant Image Quality: The Optico-Retinal Interface, David D. Bogorad
Intraocular Lens Implant Image Quality: The Optico-Retinal Interface, David D. Bogorad
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Improvements in intraocular lens implants during the past ten years have revolutionized cataract surgery. Both anterior and posterior chamber lenses are currently in wide use, but the optical superiority of the posterior chamber location has yet to be demonstrated. To do so, a more detailed analysis is required of visual function than is clinically routine. Also required is appreciation that the retina is an integral part of the eye's optical system because of its directional characteristics, which are known as the Stiles-Crawford effect. The optical quality of the pseudophakic eye is affected by the optics of the implant, its centration, …

Evaluation Of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome In A Family, Kayhan Ozkan
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Five cases of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in one family have been studied, and a review of the history and features of the syndrome are presented. This syndrome was detected in four of six siblings and in the father. Three family members underwent surgery after small-bowel obstruction was diagnosed. A gastric polyp was removed from a fourth family member. Rectal bleeding dominated the clinical picture in two patients. Colonic polyps were also found in the three patients who had small-bowel polyps. One of the four affected siblings had mucocutaneous pigmentation, but no evidence of intestinal polyps was detected. The five affected family …

Orbital Metastasis With Enophthalmos: A Review Of The Literature, David M. Reifler
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Orbital metastasis is associated with enophthalmos in up to one third of all cases. After analyzing the clinical and pathologic features In 25 reported cases of enophthalmic orbital metastasis, the condition was found to almost exclusively affect females, usually in the 60 to 70 age group. The right orbit was the most commonly affected. The primary lesion was located in the breast in 19 (76%) cases and in the abdomen in 6 (24%) cases. In one third of the cases, the manifestations of the orbital metastasis were recognized before diagnosing the primary lesion. The most common presenting features were diplopia …

Although lead encephalopathy is rare, lead intoxication continues to be a significant problem in Detroit. Neuropsychological effects may occur even at low levels of lead. Since treatment of lead poisoning consists of a painful series of injections, it is imperative that more attention be given to the prevention of this disease. To confirm the magnitude of the problems, our experience with lead poisoning during a three-year period at Henry Ford Hospital's Pediatric Department is reviewed.
