Rectus Sheath Abscess

Southern Medical Journal (1986)

James Majeski

I have reported a case in which percutaneous aspiration of a rectus sheath hematoma subsequently led to abscess. The treatment of a rectus sheath hematoma should be conservative after diagnosis by ultrasonography or CT scan. A sterile rectus sheath hematoma should not be aspirated under any circumstance.

Ability of cancer patients' macrophages to kill autologous tumor targets: Effect of prostaglandin inhibitors on cytotoxicity

Cancer (1984)

Deborah Cameron Max S. Rittenbury James Majeski

Monocyte-derived macrophages isolated from the peripheral blood of 17 patients with cancer were studied for their cytotoxic effects on a sensitive allogeneic tumor target as well as autologous tumor cells. Macrophages from four of the cancer patients were cytotoxic towards the allogeneic tumor target. Five patients had macrophages which were cytotoxic towards the autologous targets. When indomethacin, a prostaglandin inhibitor, was added to the noncytotoxic macrophages during the cytotoxicity assay, macrophages from 5 of the 11 cancer patients studied became cytotoxic for the allogeneic target, and macrophages from 4 of the 11 patients became cytotoxic for the autologous tumor cells. However, it was also noted that those cancer patients who possessed cytotoxic macrophages in the absence of indomethacin, became noncytotoxic towards the tumor cells after addition of indomethacin. These results indicate that addition of indomethacin to cytotoxic macrophages suppresses macrophage mediated cytotoxicity whereas addition of indomethacin to noncytotoxic macrophages greatly enhances macrophage mediated cytotoxicity. This theory was further substantiated when it was observed that the cytotoxic macrophages obtained from normal donors also became noncytotoxic for a sensitive tumor cell line after the addition of indomethacin during the cytotoxicity assay.

Modified Supracondylar Amputation of the Femur

The American Surgeon (2004)

James Majeski

The upper leg can be amputated at many levels starting with the through the knee amputation and ending with the hip disarticulation. The most common above the knee amputation is through the mid-femur, and this procedure is taught in most surgical programs in the United States. A new modification of the supracondylar amputation of the femur is herein described. A 20-year experience of over 200 procedures is reported using a new modification of the supracondylar amputation of the leg. Two deaths occurred, and a primary healing rate of 95 per cent was obtained. Revision to a higher level was required in only three patients. The advantages of the modified amputation procedure include short operative procedure, minimal blood loss, long femur stump, reduced pain, strong fascial closure, high rate of primary healing, and avoidance of a postoperative flexion contracture at the hip.

Migration of Wire Mesh Into the Intestinal Lumen Causing an Intestinal Obstruction 30 Years After Repair of a Ventral Hernia

Southern Medical Journal (1998)

James Majeski

Wire mesh repair of abdominal wall hernias was abandoned almost four decades ago. Recently, a woman who had a wire mesh repair of an incisional hernia in 1964 came to the emergency room with a complete small bowel obstruction. The obstruction was caused by a segment of wire mesh that broke off from the abdominal wall and migrated into the small bowel lumen. During the preceding 2 years, she had been evaluated by two different gastroenterologists for chronic anemia, but they failed to obtain an evaluation of the small intestine. This case report shows that abdominal foreign bodies may migrate into the intestinal tract. I recommend that an evaluation of chronic anemia in the geriatric patient include evaluation of the small intestine.

Shoulder restraint injury of the female breast.

PubMed (2007)

James Majeski

Female breast trauma occasionally occurs while using a three-point lap-diagonal seat belt while involved in a motor vehicle collision. Breast trauma is either a crush injury or an avulsion injury. Breast traumatic injury is infrequently reported. The records and complete follow-up results from all patients who were treated for breast trauma caused by lap-diagonal seat belt injury over a 25-year period were reviewed and reported. A series of 19 female patients were treated for breast trauma that occurred during a motor vehicle collision in which the patient was using a three-point lap-diagonal seat belt restraint. Patient age range at the time of injury was 18-75 years. The patients' breast injuries were classified according to the type and severity of breast trauma. Fourteen patients had a class I mild crush injury. All recovered completely with conservative breast care. Four patients had a class II moderate crush injury. All four patients had an area of painful chronic fat necrosis removed. Two of four patients with a class II injury continue to have mild to moderate chronic breast pain. A single patient with a class III severe crush injury was successfully treated nonsurgically. The breast healed with a diagonal furrow. No chronic breast pain has been associated with this class III breast crush injury. No class IV avulsion breast injuries were treated in this clinical series. A classification of breast trauma from a motor vehicle collision in which the female was wearing a three-point lap-diagonal seat belt restraint has been developed. Results of treatment of 19 patients are reported with breast trauma, with a clinical guide for immediate and long-term care. Chronic breast pain persists in two patients in this series with a class II breast injury who had an area of traumatic fat necrosis. No breast cancer occurred in long-term complete follow-up in this series of 19 patients with breast trauma.
