Becky and Joy were returning home from the blind dates they had been on that night. Becky's cousin had introduced the two girls to his two buddies from college.
The Proposed Use Of An Anatomically Marked Presurgically Fitted Prostheses With Infants Who Have Unrepaired Cleft Palates, Amy Moser
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Approximately one out of every 750 children are born with some type of an oral cleft (McWilliams, Morris, & Shelton, 1984) Children with clefts of the palate in general have a higher incidence of articulation disorders than do children without clefts. Typical speech problems which tend to occur are hypernasality and multiple articulation errors, often consisting of atypical tongue placement in the mouth or nontypical articulation at sites in the larynx or pharynx. These speech problems can be severe and may require years of expensive, long-term professional treatment to remediate.

Because of the ever increasing number of non- (NEP) and Limited- (LEP) English Proficient persons in the United States, the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) working in the public school setting is currently faced with the challenge of developing effective strategies for the assessment and identification of bilingual children with communicative disorders. One of the responsibilities of the SLP is to administer tests to children with suspected communicative disorders. However, it is difficult for a monolingual, English speaking SLP to effectively assess the speech and language of a non- or limited-English speaking child because of the language barrier that is present. In …
Immunological Effects Of Amphotericin B Desoxycholate And Liposomal Amphotericin B On Splenocytes From Immune-Normal And Immune-Compromised Mice, Jay Jenson Schindler
Immunological Effects Of Amphotericin B Desoxycholate And Liposomal Amphotericin B On Splenocytes From Immune-Normal And Immune-Compromised Mice, Jay Jenson Schindler
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Because of the increasing number of serious risk factors which predispose a normally immune competent host to infection, the incidence of systemic fungal infections is steadily increasing. This epidemiological rise has especially become apparent since the onset of the AIDS epidemic. Amphotericin B is the drug of choice for these life-threatening mycotic infections. Complications due to drug toxicity, however, severely limit amphotericin B's clinical usefulness. The major complication associated with the administration of amphotericin B is renal toxicity. Research has indicated, however, that besides its antifungal activities, amphotericin B may act as an immune stimulant of both humoral and cellular …
The Binding Of Urinary Components And Uropathogens To A Silicone Latex Urethral Catheter, G. Reid, C. Tieszer, R. Foerch, H. J. Busscher, A. E. Khoury, H. C. Van Der Mei
The Binding Of Urinary Components And Uropathogens To A Silicone Latex Urethral Catheter, G. Reid, C. Tieszer, R. Foerch, H. J. Busscher, A. E. Khoury, H. C. Van Der Mei

The adhesion of uropathogens to urethral catheters initiates the infectious process which causes morbidity in a large patient population. Catheters were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy after use in three patients and following incubation in vitro with human urine, urea and creatinine, and found to have adsorbed a conditioning film containing carbon, nitrogen and in some cases phosphorous, calcium and sodium containing components. The binding of three strains of uropathogenic bacteria to the catheter surface was significantly influenced by the suspending fluid composition.
Effects Of Fluoride On Precipitation And Hydrolysis Of Octacalcium Phosphate In An Experimental Model Simulating Enamel Mineralization During Amelogenesis, M. J. Mura-Galelli, H. Narusawa, T. Shimada, M. Iijima, T. Aoba

Cells and Materials
The present study was undertaken to investigate effects of fluoride at low concentrations on the precipitation of calcium phosphates on hydroxyapatite seeds in media resembling the enamel fluid composition. To this end, we used a new crystal growth model adopting a miniaturized reaction column. Experimental solutions had the composition similar to that found in the enamel fluid, except for calcium concentrations which were adjusted at 1.0 and 0.5 mM. Precipitation reactions taking place in the system at the higher supersaturation ([Ca] = 1 mM) were characterized by co-precipitation of platelike OCP and rod-like apatite crystals, while the reaction at the …
