Diagnostic And Therapeutic Immunology Of Renal Cell Cancer, Richard C. Klugo Jun 1979

Diagnostic And Therapeutic Immunology Of Renal Cell Cancer, Richard C. Klugo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

There is evidence that renal cell carcinoma can alter the host immunologic system in several modalities. Diagnostic immunologic monitoring techniques reviewed in this report include delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction (DCHR), absolute peripheral lymphocyte count (APLC), lymphocyte mitogen response (LMR), T-lymphocyte population (erythrocyte rosette), microcytotoxicity assay, in vitro monocyte chemotaxis, and serum blocking factors. Therapeutic immunologic modalities include xenogeneic immune ribonucleic acid (RNA), intradermal BCG, preoperative transcatheter renal artery embolization, immune plasma transfusion, transfer factor, and polymerized autologous tumor.


Chemotherapy Of Metastatic Renal Adenocarcinoma With A Five- Drug Regimen*, Robert W. Talley, N. A. Oberhauser, Robert W. Brownlee, Robert M. O'Bryan Jun 1979

Chemotherapy Of Metastatic Renal Adenocarcinoma With A Five- Drug Regimen*, Robert W. Talley, N. A. Oberhauser, Robert W. Brownlee, Robert M. O'Bryan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In the past, chemotherapy of renal adenocarcinoma has been relatively unsuccessful. The progestational agent, medroxy progesterone acetate (MPA), has been the most effective single agent, even though the response rate probably does not exceed 12%. This report describes the results of a program of combination therapy with MPA, cyclophosphamide, hydroxyurea, vinblastine and prednisone that was used on 42 patients, ten of whom had received prior MPA therapy. One complete remission and seven partial remissions were observed, oniyone of whom had received prior MPA therapy. Treatment of metastatic renal adenocarcinoma with combination chemotherapy should probably include MPA and adriamycin. The role …


Evaluation Of A Simplified Measurement For Low Glomerular Filtration Rates With Lndium-111 Dtpa, L. E. Preuss, R. S. Michaels, F. P. Bolin, N. W. Levin, C. Artman Jun 1979

Evaluation Of A Simplified Measurement For Low Glomerular Filtration Rates With Lndium-111 Dtpa, L. E. Preuss, R. S. Michaels, F. P. Bolin, N. W. Levin, C. Artman

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A rapid new method for measuring glomerular filtration rates using 111In diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (111In- DTPA) was evaluated with 39 patients who showed marked impairment of renal function (creatinine clearance less than 20 ml/min). A simple, single compartment system was assumed. For comparison, parallel inulin and creatinine clearances were performed. High linear correlations (r = 0.96-0.97) were demonstrated when 111In- DTPA clearances were compared with the standard nonisotopic tests. Initial data indicate that reliable isotopic clearance values could be obtained for low clearances by withdrawing only two blood samples for assay at 6 and 48 hours after isotope injection (without …


Isolation Of An Acid-Fast Organism From The Aqueous Humor In A Case Of Sarcoidosis, C. L. Barth, M. S. Judge, L. H. Mattman, P. C. Hessburg Jun 1979

Isolation Of An Acid-Fast Organism From The Aqueous Humor In A Case Of Sarcoidosis, C. L. Barth, M. S. Judge, L. H. Mattman, P. C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The anterior chamber fluid from the eye of this patient with sarcoidosis was found to contain microcolonies of a cellwall-deficient organism that was propagated and identified as acid-fast by the Intensified Acid-Fast stain. The colonies were inoculated into mice and retrieved from the dead or sacrificed animals. This report suggests that the acid-fast microbe in the aqueous humor of this case of uveitis-sarcoidosis may be the same organism as that found in the blood in sarcoidosis. Thus, it may be associated not only with the primary disease, but also with the complications of Boeck's sarcoidosis.


Portal Hypertension In Children: Three Case Reports And Review Of Recent Progress In Treatment, Philip J. Howard Jun 1979

Portal Hypertension In Children: Three Case Reports And Review Of Recent Progress In Treatment, Philip J. Howard

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The diagnosis and surgical management of extrahepatic portal hypertension in infants and children have improved dramatically in the last 50 years, as evidenced by the reported mortalities of 46% in 1928-1935 and only 12% in 1974. The diagnosis Is often evident from the first sudden gastrointestinal bleeding Incident and can be verified quickly with fiberoptic esophagoscopy and x-rays. The surgeon has a choice of multiple shunt procedures to control portal pressure.

An Ischemic Infarct In Medulla And Cervical Cord, Ezzatollah Shivapour, Gilbert B. Solitare Dec 1978

An Ischemic Infarct In Medulla And Cervical Cord, Ezzatollah Shivapour, Gilbert B. Solitare

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This report documents an unusual case of an occlusion of the anterior spinal artery of the medulla oblongata. The patient presented with involvement of the left accessory nerve and weakness of ipsilateral extremities. The diagnosis of an ischemic infarct in the distribution of the left proximal portion of the anterior spinal artery was made. Bulbar weakness, quadriplegia, and respiratory arrest developed. Postmortem examination, 23 days after onset, revealed an old infarct in the medulla which appeared as a more recent hemorrhagic infarct throughout the cervical cord.

This report describes intense uptake of 201Tl in a patient with histiocytic lymphoma. The activity seen was greater than with 67Ga. Use of 201Tl as an alternative imaging agent is advocated.


Mixed Connective Tissue Disease And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus In One Family, Michael R. Lubetsky, Howard Duncan Dec 1978

Mixed Connective Tissue Disease And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus In One Family, Michael R. Lubetsky, Howard Duncan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A mother with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and a daughter with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were simultaneously diagnosed and treated in August, 1977. Multiple cases of SLE occurring in the same family are not rare, but the frequency with which systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease occurs in the same family is not known, and the reports are few. This report describes these two cases and suggests that mixed connective tissue disease may be part of the spectrum of systemic lupus erythematosus.
