Pericardial Tamponade In Acute Myeloid Leukemia, R. P. Warrier, K. R. Kini, R. Singh, K. Maeda, I. Barr, F. M. Jara Mar 1984

Pericardial Tamponade In Acute Myeloid Leukemia, R. P. Warrier, K. R. Kini, R. Singh, K. Maeda, I. Barr, F. M. Jara

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We are reporting a case of acute myeloid leukemia in a child with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, with a review of the literature. Morphologic and cytochemical evidence was used to diagnose acute myeloid leukemia, and radiologic, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, cytologic, and histologic evidence confirmed the diagnosis of tamponade and pericardial leukemic involvement. Pericardiotomy and pericardial window drainage successfully relieved the tamponade, and conventional chemotherapy was used to induce a remission.


Cushing's Disease Due To Pituitary Carcinoma, M. Saeed Zafar, R. C. Mellinger, J. L. Chason Mar 1984

Cushing's Disease Due To Pituitary Carcinoma, M. Saeed Zafar, R. C. Mellinger, J. L. Chason

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Criteria for the diagnosis of pituitary carcinoma are subject to controversy. Some authors do not accept the demonstration of cellular anaplasia alone as sufficient to establish the diagnosis but require evidence of metastatic disease in order to label a pituitary tumor as malignant. However, pituitary tumors can metastasize even in the absence of anaplasia. The present case of Cushing's disease and pituitary carcinoma had no clinical evidence of metastases when first reported. Partial surgical removal of the tumor followed by irradiation resulted in clinical remission of the Cushing's syndrome, but two years later progressive uncontrollable recurrence of the disease ended …


Peritoneal Lavage Red Blood Cell And White Blood Cell Count: A Prospective Comparison Of Usefulness, Eugene Meyer, James C. Gruenberg Mar 1984

Peritoneal Lavage Red Blood Cell And White Blood Cell Count: A Prospective Comparison Of Usefulness, Eugene Meyer, James C. Gruenberg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Prospectively, 637 patients with blunt or penetrating trauma to the lower chest or abdomen had quantitative peritoneal lavage red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts as part of their initial diagnostic evaluation. Statistically, the lavage RBC count (error rate: 6.8%) was a superior test to the lavage WBC count (error rate: 9.7%) (chi sq=9.2564, p=0.0024). See Appendix. When the lavage RBC and WBC tests agreed, the predictive value was high: 94% (46/49) when both were positive and 95% (521/549) when both were negative. When the lavage RBC test was positive and the lavage WBC test was negative, …

Family History As A Marker For Increased Risk Of Breast Cancer And Colon Cancer, Robert A. Norum Mar 1984

Family History As A Marker For Increased Risk Of Breast Cancer And Colon Cancer, Robert A. Norum

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cancer of the breast and colon are well known to occur with high frequency in families with certain inherited cancer syndromes. These cancers also occur with increased frequency in families which do not have a recognizable genetic cancer syndrome. The fact of familial occurrence can be used to identify people with increased risk of cancer. In high-risk people methods for early detection can be developed which may reduce morbidity and mortality from these cancers, as has been done for certain inherited cancer syndromes.


External Beam Treatment Of Inoperable Non-Small Cell Carcinoma Of The Lung, H. Gunter Seydel Mar 1984

External Beam Treatment Of Inoperable Non-Small Cell Carcinoma Of The Lung, H. Gunter Seydel

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

External beam radiation therapy for unresectable non-small cell carcinoma of the lung has produced significant survival in patients with disease limited to one hemithorax. New approaches to improve the results of radiation treatment of these patients include interstitial implantation, the use of hypoxic cell sensitizers, biologic response modifiers, as well as changes in the technique of radiation therapy. This includes the use of modern computerized tomographic scanning technology for better definition of tumor volume as well as the use of two fractions per day in the treatment of non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. Initial results of these studies are …


The Spectrum Of B Cell Neoplasia, Michael J. Deegan Mar 1984

The Spectrum Of B Cell Neoplasia, Michael J. Deegan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Recent progress in our understanding of the immune system and the development of new techniques that permit the precise identification of lymphocytes have permitted a reexamination of lymphoid neoplasms. Most of the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and lymphocytic leukemias have been characterized as T or B cell neoplasms and have been shown to possess features similar to those expressed by normal lymphoid cells at different stages of maturation. The clinical significance and therapeutic implications of these discoveries are now being explored. This paper presents a concise overview of the differentiation of human B lymphocytes, the surface and cytoplasmic markers that permit their …


Preoperative Chemotherapy And Irradiation In The Treatment Of Soft Tissue Sarcomas Of The Lower Extremities: Preliminary Report Of Experience At Henry Ford Hospital, S. David Nathanson Mar 1984

Preoperative Chemotherapy And Irradiation In The Treatment Of Soft Tissue Sarcomas Of The Lower Extremities: Preliminary Report Of Experience At Henry Ford Hospital, S. David Nathanson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The development of effective chemotherapy and improved techniques of radiation therapy offer the possibility of managing soft tissue sarcomas so that surgery may need to be less radical than in the past and amputation can be avoided. The low rates of local-regional and systemic recurrence that have resulted from using innovative combinations of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and conservative surgery encouraged us to use preoperative intraarterial adriamycin (doxorubicin) with or without radiation therapy for three cases of soft tissue sarcomas of the lower extremities. The rationale for this therapy is also discussed.

Elevated Serum Transaminase As A Presenting Clue For Precirrhotic Hemochromatosis, Lester P. Kobylak Mar 1984

Elevated Serum Transaminase As A Presenting Clue For Precirrhotic Hemochromatosis, Lester P. Kobylak

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

For patients in whom unexplained elevations in SGOT and SGPT concentrations are found, determination of the serum iron level is recommended to screen for asymptomatic precirrhotic hemochromatosis. Care must be taken to differentiate between hereditary hemochromatosis and secondary iron accumulation due to liver disease.

Polymicrobal Pneumonia In A Corticosteroid-Treated Patient With Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, John R. Haapaniemi, John Popovich Jr. Mar 1984

Polymicrobal Pneumonia In A Corticosteroid-Treated Patient With Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, John R. Haapaniemi, John Popovich Jr.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunosuppressive properties of corticosteroids are well established and cause a depression of pulmonary defense mechanisms. We report the case of a patient treated with short-term corticosteroids for an exacerbation of chronic obstructive lung disease who developed a multiple organism pneumonia.


Neurosonology: An Update, Beatrice L. Madrazo, Manuel Dujovny, Juan Fuentes, Michael A. Sandler, Madelyne Galvin Mar 1984

Neurosonology: An Update, Beatrice L. Madrazo, Manuel Dujovny, Juan Fuentes, Michael A. Sandler, Madelyne Galvin

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Recent technological advances in diagnostic ultrasound have resulted in the development of high-resolution, portable real-time scanners. In neurological ultrasound, these devices have been particularly useful for detecting intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants. Sonography is now being used during neurosurgical procedures to help in localizing masses for resection and biopsy, as well as in the placement of shunt catheters. The applications of neurosonology and our experience with intraoperative neurosonology are reported in this review.
