Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis Associated With Dynamic Outflow Tract Obstruction: A Case Report, Armando Cesar Madrazo, Daniel T. Anbe, James J. Karo, Peter Torbey, Ellet H. Drake, Fareed Khaja, Sidney Goldstein
Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis Associated With Dynamic Outflow Tract Obstruction: A Case Report, Armando Cesar Madrazo, Daniel T. Anbe, James J. Karo, Peter Torbey, Ellet H. Drake, Fareed Khaja, Sidney Goldstein
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Hemodynamic and angiographic findings are described in a 27-year-old patient, who had undergone surgical operation for subvalvular membranous aortic stenosis. Left ventriculography revealed persistence or regrowth of the subvalvular fibrous ring, and hemodynamic data revealed associated dynamic obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. The authors emphasize the importance of uncovering associated dynamic obstruction by provocative maneuvers and use of Beta blockers.
Prolonging Oxygen Consumption During Preservation Of Canine Kidneys By The Addition Of Continuous Dialysis, Daniel Dall'olmo, Stanley G. Dienst
Prolonging Oxygen Consumption During Preservation Of Canine Kidneys By The Addition Of Continuous Dialysis, Daniel Dall'olmo, Stanley G. Dienst
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Kidneys were preserved by continuous pulsatile perfusion and their metabolic rate monitored by O2 consumption. Experiments were carried out to determine if dialyzing the perfusate to supply metabolic substrates would aid in kidney preservation. A control group was compared against two experimental groups at 25°C. Average preservation time before fall off of oxygen consumption differed for each group: control - 8 hours, dialysis with amino acids - 6 hours, dialysis with amino acids and cofactors - 11 hours. Results indicated that, if suitable concentrations of metabolic substrates and cofactors were used, the preserved kidneys maintained higher levels of O2 consumption …
Oral Contraceptives And Myocardial Infarction: Report Of Three Cases And Review Of The Literature, Mohsin Alam, Remigio Garcia, Ellet H. Drake
Oral Contraceptives And Myocardial Infarction: Report Of Three Cases And Review Of The Literature, Mohsin Alam, Remigio Garcia, Ellet H. Drake
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Three cases are presented of young women who had myocardial infarctions possibly due to coronary thrombosis related to oral contraceptive therapy. These patients had none or very few risk factors for coronary artery disease. In two of the patients, selective coronary arteriograms showed normal results on the third and tenth week after the diagnosis was established. The pathogenesis of coronary artery thrombosis in patients receiving oral contraceptives containing estrogen is still controversial, but it appears to be the result of its multifactorial effect on the platelets, coagulation factors, vessel wall, blood pressure, postprandial blood sugar and abnormalities of lipid metabolism.

The program is currently following up with these people and their physicians to insure successful referral and maintenance of …
Penetrating Abdominal Trauma: A Morbidity And Mortality Report Of A Growing Social Problem, F. Samhouri, C. Grodsinsky, T. A. Fox Jr.
Penetrating Abdominal Trauma: A Morbidity And Mortality Report Of A Growing Social Problem, F. Samhouri, C. Grodsinsky, T. A. Fox Jr.
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The management of penetrating abdominal wounds has become a necessity in most larger metropolitan hospitals. Most of these wounds are produced by low velocity gunshots, but some are stab wounds. Several recent advances have contributed to the more successful management of penetrating abdominal wounds. These include: 1) improvement in on-site care by various emergency medical services, 2) more rapid transportation of the injured to a facility equipped to care for such patients, 3) vigorous resuscitative and diagnostic measures, 4) prompt and adequate surgical intervention, 5) improvements in anesthesia techniques, and 6) improvements in blood banks. From 1969 to 1974, 843 …
Use Of The Weibull Distribution For Analysis Of A Clinical Therapeutic Study In Rheumatoid Arthritis, W. R. Mccrum, J. T. Sharp, G. B. Bluhm
Use Of The Weibull Distribution For Analysis Of A Clinical Therapeutic Study In Rheumatoid Arthritis, W. R. Mccrum, J. T. Sharp, G. B. Bluhm
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
This paper introduces the use of the Weibull distribution function for the analysis of small samples of clinical data. It is compared with the use of the conventional analysis of variance in determining the results of a study comparing the use of gold salts and a placebo in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Although the samples were small, 14 control patients and 13 who were treated, analysis of variance determined several significant differences between the two groups. The use of the Weibull distribution, however, not only confirmed these differences, but also determined several more differences between the two groups that …

A Screening, Referral, And Follow-Up Program For High Blood Pressure At Henry Ford Hospital: Part I. Results Of Screening, Andrea Foote, John C. Erfurt, John R. Caldwell
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Data are reported on the screening results from the Henry Ford Hospital screening, referral and follow-up program for high blood pressure. The report covers the period of March 27 through December 11, 1975, during which time 808 people were screened in the hospital lobby. Thirty-nine percent were found upon initial screening to have high blood pressure readings or previously diagnosed hypertension. Of these people, 70% were already under treatment for hypertension, but only 21% showed adequate blood pressure control (with readings below 140/90 mm Hg). Those with high readings were referred to their physicians. A paper on the results of …
Susceptibility Of Clinical Isolates Of Bacteria To Cefamandole, Cefoxitin And Cephalothin, R. Del Busto, A. Suarez, E. Quinn, D. Pohlod
Susceptibility Of Clinical Isolates Of Bacteria To Cefamandole, Cefoxitin And Cephalothin, R. Del Busto, A. Suarez, E. Quinn, D. Pohlod
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The in vitro susceptibility was determined of 274 isolates to cephalothin and two new antibiotics, cefamandole and cefoxitin. Cefamandole was comparable to cephalothin in preventing growth of cultures of the gram positive organisms except for penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus which was more sensitive to cephalothin. Cefamandole was more active than cephalothin against all the gram negative bacteria including Haemophilus influenzae and in addition it was active against many strains of Enterobacter sp. Cefoxitin was less active than cephalothin against the gram positive organisms but it was more active against most of the gram negative bacteria. In addition. It was active against …
The Association Of Acute Cerebellar Encephalopathy And Neuroblastoma, M. Reza Jahadi, John G. Whitcomb, Ratnaker Kini, Robert H. High
The Association Of Acute Cerebellar Encephalopathy And Neuroblastoma, M. Reza Jahadi, John G. Whitcomb, Ratnaker Kini, Robert H. High
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Acute cerebellar encephalopathy is a rare neurological disorder associated with neuroblastoma and is characterized by ataxia, somatic myoclonus and opsoclonus. The pathogenesis which underlies the relationship between the two conditions is obscure. One patient with neuroblastoma and acute cerebellar encephalopathy Is reported. The occurrence of neuroblastoma and acute cerebellar encephalopathy In this case may be coincidental but, on the basis of frequent recent reports of this association, a possible relationship between these two entities is entertained. It is therefore recommended that all patients with acute cerebellar encephalopathy be surveyed for unapparent neuroblastoma. The search should include chest and skeletal X-rays, …
Immunological Aspects Of Neoplastic Diseases, V. Radhakrishna
Immunological Aspects Of Neoplastic Diseases, V. Radhakrishna
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The immunological approach to neoplastic disease is gaining favor because malignant tumors are associated with immunodeficient states. Mesenchymal tumors have been seen in renal allograft recipients. The discovery of carcinoembryonic antigen, alfafetoprotein and other protein antigens associated with malignant diseases are other factors. Spontaneous regression of malignant neoplasm has been attributed to an effective immunologic process in the host. Identification of tumor specific antigens may explain these spontaneous tumor regressions. It may not be too optimistic to expect tumor vaccine of some sort within the next few years. B.C.G. and other nonspecific immunostimulants are under investigation for treatment of malignant …
Productivity Of The Roll-Streak Method To Perform Anaerobic Bacteriology In The Routine Clinical Laboratory, Thomas R. Neblett
Productivity Of The Roll-Streak Method To Perform Anaerobic Bacteriology In The Routine Clinical Laboratory, Thomas R. Neblett
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Data presented are derived from one year of performing routine clinical anaerobic bacteriology by the roll-streak tube method. 826 specimens from 1508 (54.8%) contained anaerobes. 162 specimens were polymicrobic (19.6%) and contained 528 strains of a total of 1051 isolated (50.2 %). 479 blood specimens contained 525 strains of anaerobes. Propionibacterium, considered a contaminant, occurred 209/210 times in blood as the sole isolate. Bacteroides occurred alone or polymicrobically 308 times and comprised 54.7% of the blood isolates and 32.5% of the total anaerobic genera isolated. Clostridium, Peptococcus and Fusobacterium were the next most frequently occurring anaerobes. The roll-streak method is …

Cushing's Disease: Spontaneous Remission Following Severe Headache, Raymond C. Mellinger
Cushing's Disease: Spontaneous Remission Following Severe Headache, Raymond C. Mellinger
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
A young woman was found to have persistent Cushing's syndrome one year after surgical removal of both hyperplastic adrenal glands. Improvement followed pituitary irradiation butshe developed skin pigmentation. Remission of the adrenal hyperfunction occurred only after several months of therapy with o,p'-DDD. Within 15 months, the recurrent disorder required a second course of DDD with resulting adrenal insufficiency. Eighteen months later, however, steroid supplements were no longer required and increasing Cortisol levels indicated still another imminent relapse. There was no enlargement of the sella turcica. The patient had received no treatment whatever for nearly nine months when she experienced a …
Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatic Duct Cannulation (Erpc): An Aid To Pancreatic Surgery, C. Grodsinsky, B. Schuman, B. E. Brush
Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatic Duct Cannulation (Erpc): An Aid To Pancreatic Surgery, C. Grodsinsky, B. Schuman, B. E. Brush
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Retrograde endoscopic pancreatic duct cannulation for evaluation of patients with chronic pancreatitis is reviewed over the last two years. Of 40 patients that were endoscoped, 30 had a successful pancreatogram. The X-ray findings fell into three groups: 1) single and multiple stenosis, 2) diffuse narrowing, and 3) apparently normal duct. This procedure proved of value in ruling out or delaying surgical operation in 10 persons. Twenty-one patients underwent operations. Thirteen had a 95% pancreatectomy, one had drainage of a necrotic collection thought to be a pseudocyst and one had a pseudocyst resected. One had a gastrojejunostomy and vagotomy bypassing a …

Infections Due To Trichosporon Cutaneum, An Uncommon Systemic Pathogen, Tom Madhavan, John Eisses, Edward L. Quinn
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Multiple isolations of T. Cutaneum from the blood stream of two patients enabled the authors to characterize the morphology, biochemical reactions and antibiotic susceptibility of T. Cutaneum. This organism appears to be an opportunistic pathogen and responds promptly to intravenous Amphotericin B or oral 5-Fluorocytosine.
Bupivacaine As A Local Anesthetic For Hernia Repair, Joseph L. Ponka, James A. Sapala
Bupivacaine As A Local Anesthetic For Hernia Repair, Joseph L. Ponka, James A. Sapala
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is a safe, useful local anesthetic agent for repair of groin hernias. Prolonged anesthesia, lasting six hours or longer, was observed In 94 of WO patients. No toxic effects involving the central nervous system were observed using a 0.25% solution with epinephrine. Hypotension and cardiac arrhythmia occurred in one patient. Wound complications, such as hematomas and ecchymosis, were more common with Bupivacaine than when Chlorprocaine was used. However, painstaking hemostasis, which required ligation of even the tiniest blood vessels, reduced the wound complications. As experience is gained in the use of Bupivacaine, complications will be reduced to a …

Lymphangiography In Staging Carcinoma Of The Prostate. A Comparison With Operative Findings, Joseph C. Cerny, Malcolm Weckstein, Riad Farah
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Pedal lymphangiography was performed In 30 patients who subsequently underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy, and radical pelvic lymphadenectomy. In 24 of 30 patients, lymphangiograms correctly predicted the presence or absence of nodal Involvement. In spite of certain limitations of the technique. It is considered an essential diagnostic study in patients considered for possible radical prostatic surgery, or in patients who may be candidates for external megavoltage radiotherapy to the prostate gland and its lymphatic drainage.
Palliative Urinary Diversion In Adenocarcinoma Of The Prostate, R. C. Youngman, Joseph C. Cerny
Palliative Urinary Diversion In Adenocarcinoma Of The Prostate, R. C. Youngman, Joseph C. Cerny
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Ten patients with inoperable prostatic carcinoma, producing ureteral obstruction and azotemia, underwent palliative urinary diversion. Good quality survivals of two months to three years were obtained. These results compare favorably with the good results seer) In gynecologic neoplasm of the bladder, colon and breast. In selected cases of carcinoma of the prostate, palliative urinary diversion is indicated when the prospects exist for further benefit from chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
