<h3>PATHOLOGIC QUIZ CASE 1</h3> Warren E. Hagan, MD; J. Kevin Duplechain; Mack Cheney, MD, New Orleans A 35-year-old man presented to Tulane University Medical Center, New Orleans, with a complaint of a fleshy growth over the medial aspects of both upper eyelids. The patient stated that the growth had enlarged in the last two to three months and was painless. There were no other ocular complaints such as dryness, scaling, or itching. Examination of ocular adnexa showed nothing abnormal. He demonstrated a supralateral visual field defect bilaterally. The only significant laboratory finding on admission was a serum cholesterol level of 260 mg/dL (6.72 mmol/L) (normal value for our laboratory, 140 to 300 mg/dL [3.62 to 7.76 mmol/L]). Elliptical blepharoplasty-type incisions were made, with the complete excision of the masses. Photographs of the pathologic specimens are shown in

The Tulane University Medical Center: 150 Years of Medical Education

In 1983, the Tulane Educational Fund commissioned Professor John Duffy, a noted medical historian at the University of Maryland, to prepare a sesquicentennial history of the Tulane University Medical School. Professor Duffy, formerly Professor of Medical History at Tulane, has been widely acclaimed for his previous scholarly works, particularly his history of the 1853 yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans. In this volume, Duffy chronicles in detail the history of the Tulane University Medical School from its inception in 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana to the present. Also included are brief histories of the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, The Delta Regional Primate Center, and the University Health Service. The dates, personalities, and social situations have been meticulously researched and are presented chronologically in a style that makes the book so interesting that it reads almost like a novel. In historical terms, this is a compendium

Dipetalonema barbascalensis sp. n. (Nematoda: Filarioidea) from the Owl Monkey, Aotus trivirgatus, with a Consideration of the Status of Parlitomosa zakii Nagaty, 1935

Dipetalonema barbascalensis sp. n. recovered from the abdominal cavity of owl monkeys, Aotus trivirgatus, from Colombia is described. This filarioid belongs to the Tetrapetalonema group and most closely resembles the nematode previously known as Parlitomosa zakii Nagaty, 1935, from the pectoral muscles of a Brazilian marmoset. It is concluded that the monotypic genus Parlitomosa falls into synonymy with Dipetalonema Diesing, 1911, sensu Chabaud, 1952, the species thus becoming Dipetalonema zakii (Nagaty, 1935) comb. n. These 2 worms resemble each other in the presence of a terminal caudal digitiform process in the male, in the similarity of the left spicule, and in the position of the vulva. They differ markedly in size, D. zakii adults and microfilariae being approximately twice as long as those of D. barbascalensis. D. zakii lacks the prominent subterminal caudal papillae and ventrolateral striae in the coiled portion of the tail of the male and the right spicule is smaller than and of a different shape from that of D. barbascalensis. In the course of an investigation of the filarial parasites of Neotropical primates certain worms were recovered from the abdominal cavity of owl monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus) collected at Barbascal, Meta, Colombia. Subsequently identical nematodes were obtained from several individuals of the same host species provided by Dr. Leon Schmidt of the Southern Research Institute, Birmingham, Alabama. Following an examination of all the specimens recovered, it was concluded that these worms represented members of a previously undescribed species of the genus Dipetalonema Diesing, 1861, sensu Chabaud, 1952. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 8 infected owl monkeys (2 from Barbascal and 6 from unspecified regions of Colombia) provided the filarial worms upon which the present description is based. After matching the microfilariae in the blood with those from the ovejector of several specimens, adult worms were fixed in glacial acetic acid, transferred to 70% alcohol containing 5% glycerine, and ultimately studied in pure glycerine or glycerine jelly. Microfilariae were examined in thick blood films and in films of blood concentrated in 2% aqueous formalin, all subsequently stained with hematoxylin Received for publication 27 June 1974. * Supported by the Tulane University ICMRT, Grant TW-00143, Grant AI-08099-04 from the Office of International Research, NIH, U.

Illustrations were made with the aid of a Wild drawing apparatus. Measurements were made with an ocular micrometer. In the following descriptions, all measurements (ranges, with the mean in parentheses), unless otherwise stated, are in microns. The term width at anus refers to the dorsoventral thickness of the body at the level of the anus. Locations of structures in the microfilariae are given as the distance from the anterior extremity.
