Participating graduates of the New England Sanitarium and Hospital School of Nursing are residing in about half of the …


Tendon Transplantation In The Treatment Of Paralytic Equinus, George J. Wiessman Jun 1956

Tendon Transplantation In The Treatment Of Paralytic Equinus, George J. Wiessman

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

[Abstract Not Included, Preface Follows]

With the continued high incidence of paralytic poliomyelitis the crippling after effects of this disease will be seen for many years to come even if the number of new cases gradually decrease as effective immunization techniques are developed. Because of the high incidence of lower extremity involvement and the disproportionately high percentage of anterior tibial paralysis, it is of interest to review the methods of treatment used, in paralytic equinus heretofore and draw lessons from these cases to guide us in the management of future problems.

It is recognized that the isolated instances of paralytic …

The Effect Of Adrenal Steroid Hormones On The Protein Content Of Tumorous Livers, Duncan W. Martin May 1956

The Effect Of Adrenal Steroid Hormones On The Protein Content Of Tumorous Livers, Duncan W. Martin

Biology ETDs

Protein is basic to the structure and function of protoplasm. Enzyme systems which regulate the rate of cellular reactions are primarily composed of protein and many of these enzymatic systems influence the metabolism of less specialized proteins that form the major structural material of protoplasm. It is believed that experimental procedures which modify protein composition of cells may also influence the activity of intra-cellular enzymes. In experimental live cancer, it has been shown that the activities of a number of oxidative enzymes are modified as the carcinogenic process proceeds (Richmond, 1955, p.38). Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that endocrine function …

The Relationship Of Missing Teeth To Lisps, Richard Swerzbin May 1956

The Relationship Of Missing Teeth To Lisps, Richard Swerzbin

Masters Theses

Introduction

The Problem and Its Background

The profession of speech therapy is little more than twenty-five years old. As in any new field many beliefs are currently held without experimental corroboration. One of these concerns dentition. The claim is made by some speech therapists that missing teeth cause lisps. Other therapists and writers have doubted this belief. It is therefore the purpose of this study to determine the relationship between missing and articulation of the sibilant sounds, [s], [z], [S], [3], [tS], [d3], among first grade school children.


The Effect Of Sucrose Feeding On Phosphorus Content, Protein Content, And Color Of Turkey Livers And Muscles, Mary Tai May 1956

The Effect Of Sucrose Feeding On Phosphorus Content, Protein Content, And Color Of Turkey Livers And Muscles, Mary Tai

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

All carbohydrates metabolized in the body must first be phosphorylated, As a result of Lundgaard's (1930 ) and Lohmann's (1934) discoveries, the focal interest of muscle biochemistry has passed from the carbohydrate molecules to the phosphorus compounds, For glucose, the first reaction is the formation of a phosphate ester, glucose-6- phosphate, D. M. Needham (1938) found that ATP acts as a phosphorus donor, Glucose-6-phosphate may be transformed into glucose-1-phosphate or into fructose-6-phosphate. In liver, it may be hydrolized back to free glucose and inorganic phosphorus, Bate-Smith (1948) indicated that the free phosphate must be present before any breakdown of glycogen …

An Investigation Of The Vocal Phonic Abilities Of Children With Normal Speech And Articulation Disorders, Orville Wilson Wensley Jan 1956

An Investigation Of The Vocal Phonic Abilities Of Children With Normal Speech And Articulation Disorders, Orville Wilson Wensley

Masters Theses

Introduction

Much of the recent literature dealing with the etiology and treatment of functional articulatory defects, has been concerned with perceptual aspects of the problem. Many clinicians feel that it is in the area of perceptual deficiences that most of the causes of articulatory defects occur, even though research does not support that opinion.


An Exploratory Study Of Differential Diadochokinesis, Marie C. Crickmay Jan 1956

An Exploratory Study Of Differential Diadochokinesis, Marie C. Crickmay

Masters Theses

Introduction

In speech man is forced to use organs, muscles and groups of muscles whose basic function is to serve other purposes, namely, to chew, to suck and swallow, movements which are relatively slow and primitive in execution. But in articulate speech it is necessary to manipulate these same organs and muscles at a faster speech, and with far greater precision than was required of them in the performance of their basic function.

Stapes Ankylosis And Its Mobilization, Emery I. Pick Jan 1956

Stapes Ankylosis And Its Mobilization, Emery I. Pick

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

[Abstract Not Included - Preface Included Here]

Otosclerosis is a frequent affliction resulting in progressive hearing loss. With the advance of ear surgery during the past 25 years various procedures have been proposed for the correction of this condition. Among their number surgical mobilization of the stapes has assumed considerable importance. In this paper, which is presented as a thesis to fulfill the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, the operation will be discussed on the basis of the literature and the author's own experiences with the procedure.

Introduction

This study is an attempt to discover the mode of action and evaluate the effectivity of cyclodiathermy in the treatment of glaucoma, using the Muller electric tonometer in studies on the facility of outflow.

This series of cases represents a cross section of the advanced cases of glaucoma which were operated on by attending and resident staff at the White Memorial Hospital between January 1953, and December 1955. Eighty-nine operations were performed on eighty-three eyes of fifty-eight patients of whom, with but few exeptions [sic], had lost field in the poorer eye to less than five …

Surgery For Benign Biliary Tract Disease : An Analysis Of 310 Cases From Smaller Hospitals, Theodore E. Wade Jan 1956

Surgery For Benign Biliary Tract Disease : An Analysis Of 310 Cases From Smaller Hospitals, Theodore E. Wade

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

[Abstract Not Included]

Summary:

The results of biliary tract surgery in three small general hospitals serving suburban communities was studied. Their average daily censuses were 38, 70, and 97. Fourteen (4.5%) of 310 cases of benign biliary tract disease died after surgery. Among 219 cases of elective cholecystectomy, four patients (l.8%) died. The mortality in 1196 cases reported from small hospitals by this, and three other authors, was 3.3%. This is slightly higher than the mean mortality, 2.4% among 25 reports of surgical mortality for gall stone disease found in the literature. The maximum number of cases came to surgery …
