The Urban Ecology Of Hospital Failure: Hospital Closures In The City Of Chicago, 1970-1991, Gunnar Almgren, Miguel Ferguson
The Urban Ecology Of Hospital Failure: Hospital Closures In The City Of Chicago, 1970-1991, Gunnar Almgren, Miguel Ferguson
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Abstract: Hospital closures occurred nationally with increasing frequency between 1970 and 1990. In particular, large urban areas experienced a dramatic number of closures. Of the 61 general hospitals operating in Chicago in 1970, 22 (36%) had closed by 1991. While a growing body of literature has examined the etiology and determinants of hospital closure over the last two decades, few empirical studies have focused on the neighborhood correlates of closure, and none have examined specific health outcomes associated with hospital failure. This study uses census and Chicago hospital closure data to compare and contrast different conceptual explanations of closure in …

Objective: To devise a set of clinical signs and laboratory parameters that would help clinicians assess prognosis in patients and plan appropriate management.Methods: Medical records of 147 paediatric cases (with a discharge diagnosis of acute viral encephalitis) admitted over a ten year period from 1987 to 1997 were reviewed and relevant information collected on a data extraction form.Results: Of 147 patients, 24 (16.3%) died and 48 (32.7%) were left with severe neurological deficits. A GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) score between 6-10 had an association with poor outcome (OR = 2.62, Chi-square = 5.57, p-value = 0.018) and that a GCS …
Self-Reported Feeding Advice By Physicians For Common Childhood Illnesses, S Q. Nizami, Z A. Bhutta
Self-Reported Feeding Advice By Physicians For Common Childhood Illnesses, S Q. Nizami, Z A. Bhutta
Department of Paediatrics and Child Health
Background: A nutritious diet is important for recovery during illnesses. Dietary advice by physicians and consumption of food by the patients are often based upon their hot and cold concepts and beliefs about various foods rather than on scientific basis.
Objectives: To look at the food-advising behaviour of physicians during illnesses and to know the maternal concepts about various foods being hot or cold.
Methods: A questionnaire was served to the physicians participating in a continuous medical education session held at the Aga Khan University and Hospital, asking them to write the foods they advise or restrict during different illnesses …

Chemical Toxins (Field Manual Of Wildlife Diseases), Milton Friend
Other Publications in Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease
Many kinds of potentially harmful chemicals are found in environments used by wildlife. Some chemicals, such as pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), are synthetic compounds that may become environmental contaminants through their use and application. Other materials, such as selenium and salt, are natural components of some environments, but contaminants of others. Natural and synthetic materials may cause direct poisoning and death, but they also may have adverse effects on wildlife that impair certain biological systems, such as the reproductive and immune systems. This section provides information about some of the environmental contaminants and natural chemicals that commonly cause avian …

Viral Diseases (Field Manual Of Wildlife Diseases), Douglas E. Docherty
Other Publications in Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease
Historically, viral diseases have not been recognized as major causes of illness and death in North American wild birds. Until relatively recently, this may have been due to inadequate technology to culture and identify these organisms. Unlike bacteria, viruses are too small to be seen under the light microscope and they cannot be grown on artificial media. Nevertheless, studies of infectious diseases caused by viruses have often predated discovery of the causative agents by many years as evidenced by smallpox immunizations being used centuries before that virus was identified. The isolations of a tobacco mosaic virus in 1892 and foot …

Bacterial Diseases (Field Manual Of Wildlife Diseases), Milton Friend
Other Publications in Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease
Diseases caused by bacteria are a more common cause of mortality in wild birds than are those caused by viruses. In addition to infection, some bacteria cause disease as a result of potent toxins that they produce. Bacteria of the genus Clostridium are responsible for more wild bird deaths than are other disease agents. Clostridium botulinum, which causes avian botulism, is primarily a form of food poisoning and it is included within the section on biotoxins (see Chapter 38). Other Clostridium sp. that colonize intestinal tissues produce toxins that cause severe hemorrhaging of the intestine, thus leading to tissue …

Fungal Diseases (Field Manual Of Wildlife Diseases), Milton Friend
Other Publications in Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease
Fungi are important causes of disease in wild birds and other species. Three basic types of disease are caused by these agents: mycosis, or the direct invasion of tissues by fungal cells, such as aspergillosis; allergic disease involving the development of a hypersensitivity of the host to fungal antigens; and mycotoxicosis, which results from ingestion of toxic fungal metabolites. Mycosis and allergic disease may occur together, especially when the lung is infected. This section will address only mycosis. Mycotoxicosis is addressed in Section 6, Biotoxins. Allergic disease is not well studied in wild birds and it is beyond the scope …

Biotoxins (Field Manual Of Wildlife Diseases), Tonie E. Rocke, Milton Friend
Other Publications in Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease
Biotoxins are usually defined as poisons that are produced by and derived from the cells or secretions of living organisms. These natural poisons include some of the most toxic agents known and they are found within a wide variety of life forms. Organisms that produce such toxins are generally classified as being venomous or poisonous. The classification of venomous is usually associated with animal life forms such as poisonous reptiles and insects that have highly developed cellular mechanisms for toxin production and that deliver their toxins during a biting (rattlesnake) or stinging (black widow spider) act. Poisonous organisms are generally …

Readers will find information regarding what to record and how; guidance for specimen collection, preservation, and shipment; and how to apply euthanasia when such actions are …
The Role Of Brn-3.2 In Retinal Ganglion Cell Differentiation, Jerin Marie Wright
The Role Of Brn-3.2 In Retinal Ganglion Cell Differentiation, Jerin Marie Wright
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Within the retina, the POU domain of transcription factors brn-3.0, brn-3.1, and brn-3.2 are present only in retinal ganglion cells. These genes are believed to be involved in establishing neural cell lineages in mammals. In this study brn-3.2 was examined by comparing the number of ganglion cells present during postnatal development in normal mice (+/+), in mice homozygous (-/-) for the brn-3.2 gene, and in adult mice with a heterozygous gene deletion (+/-) for brn-3.2. Optic nerve cross sections were imaged by electron microscopy, and axon profiles counted systematically by hand. These counts were then related to the nerve cross …

Delayed Myelopathy After Electrical Burn : Report Of Two Cases, Cheng-Jen Lo, Yao-Chia Chuang, Baii-Jia Yang
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Electrical burns dramatically affect the nervous system, muscles, bones, and other tissues within the human body. Myelopathy after an electrical burn has seldom been mentioned.This article describes two cases of myelopathy admitted to our burn center after a high-voltage electrical burn incurred in the workplace, with symptoms onset around 16th and 4th day, respectively. The patients both experienced a course of deterioration, followed by a slow and partial recovery. The possible mechanisms and pathophysiology associated with electric burns are discussed.
The Navicular Arch Index : A Reliable And Valid Footprint Parameter To Evaluate Arch Height, Tso-Liang Wang, Rocky F. Comberiati
The Navicular Arch Index : A Reliable And Valid Footprint Parameter To Evaluate Arch Height, Tso-Liang Wang, Rocky F. Comberiati
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Recent studies have shown a close correlation between arch height of the foot and activity-related injuries. In the past, attempts to evaluate arch height from footprint parameters have yielded conflicting results. This could be caused by their failure to take anatomy into consideration in the proposed footprint parameters. This study investigates the relationship between arch height and Navicular Arch Index (NAI) - a new footprint parameter developed by us to incorporate anatomical consideration into footprint measurements. NAI is defined as the ratio of modified footprint width to foot width at the site corresponding to the navicular tuberosity. The arch height …

Pharmacotherapy In Acute Spinal Cord Injury, Yen-Ho Wang, Tien-Shang Huang
Pharmacotherapy In Acute Spinal Cord Injury, Yen-Ho Wang, Tien-Shang Huang
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Acute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), a devastating event, results in huge costs to patients and society. Current management emphasizes general supportive care and stabilization of associated spinal columnar injury to prevent worsening of the cord lesions. Most of the numerous experimental studies to investigate pathophysiological changes following acute SCI suggest a two-step mechanism of damage to the spinal cord in which the primary (direct) or mechanical injury caused by trauma initiates secondary (indirect) or progressive autodestructive injury of the cord. During recent years, free oxygen radical generation and lipid peroxidation have been implicated in the secondary injury.Several pharmacological agents …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Uroflowmetry and ultrasonic residual urine measurements had been done to 85 urologically asymptomatic diabetic patients and 20 control subjects. The prevalence of voiding dysfunction was 60% (51/85), and increased residual urine was found in 27% (23/85) of diabetic patients. The abnormal findings included increased residual urine (23/85), interrupted urine stream (9/85), voiding with abdominal strain (31/85), low flow rate (28/85), and enlarged bladder capacity (6/85). The group with voiding dysfunction had lower maximal and average flow rate, longer voiding time, and larger residual urine amount than the diabetic patients with normal voiding function and the healthy controls. The voiding volume …

A Preclinical Model Of Ionizing Radiation And Tnf-Alpha Gene Therapy For Cancer, Jun Li
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Long term control of high-grade brain tumors is rarely achieved with current therapeutic regimens. This study sought to determine if pretreatment with plasmid DNA expressing Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) could enhance the effect of ionizing radiation in an aggressive, rapidly growing glioma tumor (C6) model. Plasmid DNA is an attractive vector system for delivery of foreign genes into eukaryotic cells due to its advantages including low immunogenicity in vivo, lesser toxicity and relatively low cost. We have constructed a plasmid-based mammalian expression vector (pGL1-TNF) to secrete human TNF-α from cancer cells. Plasmid DNA was successfully transfected into C6 cells …
Family And Child Psychosocial Functioning Of Infant Heart Transplant Recipients, Kimberly R. Freeman
Family And Child Psychosocial Functioning Of Infant Heart Transplant Recipients, Kimberly R. Freeman
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
With the advancement of medical procedures, heart transplantation has become a viable alternative for infants born with congenital or acquired heart disease. Although these children are thought to experience much improvement in their overall physical functioning post-transplantation, the long-term psychological functioning of these children and their families is currently unknown. This study examines the long-term family functioning and psychosocial development of infant heart transplant recipients in comparison to children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and non-clinical control children. Results indicate that infant heart transplant recipients and their families experience fewer overall problems as compared to the CHD group, and more …

Psychological Correlates Of Pain Perception: An Assessment Of False Biofeedback, Tobie Jay Escher
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Effects of suggestion and placebos in pain therapy have become a modern theme in pain management. This study was designed to investigate whether suggestive false biofeedback, compared with a true biofeedback control condition, would have an effect on pain perception ratings in a simplified version of a cold pressor task (CPT). Psycho-physiological measures of electrical cortical activity (EEG) and muscle tension (EMG) combined with psychological correlates (verbal and visual pain ratings) were also assessed.
A separate 2 (gender) x 2 (feedback condition) x 6 (time segment) mixed-design ANOVA was performed for (a) EEG frontal and (b) parietal lobe alpha activity, …
