MSN Research Projects

This descriptive correlational study purported to ascertain the relationships among self-esteem, blame and guilt, and sexuality of infertile young adult women, and to explore the basis for the study the Roy Adaptation Model (1976) was utilized. The convenience sample was comprised of 31 infertile women with diverse conditions who had undergone medical treatments for at least one year. The Infertility Questionnaire (IFQ) of Bernstein, Potts, and Mattox (1985) and researcher-developed questions were used in data collection to assess adaptation of the women to infertility. Quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation while content analysis was used to describe …

Simian Virus 40 Host Range/Helper Function Mutations Cause Multiple Defects In Viral Late Gene Expression., Terryl Stacy, Michele Chamberlain, Charles N. Cole

Dartmouth Scholarship

Simian virus 40 (SV40) deletion mutants dlA2459 and dlA2475 express T antigens that lack the normal carboxy terminus. These mutants are called host range/helper function (hr/hf) mutants because they form plaques at 37 degrees C on BSC-1 and Vero monkey kidney cell lines but not on CV-1p monkey kidney cells. Wild-type SV40 can provide a helper function to permit growth of human adenoviruses in monkey kidney cells; the hr/hf mutants cannot. Progeny yields of hr/hf mutants are also cold sensitive in all cell lines tested. Patterns of viral macromolecular synthesis in three cell lines (Vero, BSC-1, and CV-1) at three …

The Use Of Flumequine For Treatment Of Bacterial Infection In Babanana Tiger Prawn (Penaeus Monodon) And Seabass (Lates Calcarifer), Jirasak Tangtrongpiros, Weena Koeypudsa

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The efficacy of flumequine was studied both in vitro and in vivo. The MIC was 0.5 ug/ml to 17 strains of A. hydrophila and 23 strains of V. anguillarum isolated from affected fishes and shrimps in Thailand. Sodium chloride (Nacl) has no effect on flumequine in inhibiting the growth of these bacterias. The mortality of shrimp (P. monodon) and seabass (L. calcarifer) was reduced at the dosage of 5 ppm, 10 ppm and 20 ppm when flumequine was administered every day or every 2 day. This drug should be one of the drug of choice in treatment of bacterial infection …

Cardiopulmonary Function Changes After Swimming Training In Subjects With Sequela Of Poliomyelitis, Chen-Liang Chou, Chen-Ming Chiu, Tcho-Jen Liu, Tao-Chang Hsu, Guang-Ming Shiao, Cheng-Yen Chang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Swimming is one of the best' exercises for poliomyelitis patients. 31 members-in YMCA swimming training program participated in this study. We used the paired-t test to analize the changes of cardiopulmonary function changes.After 3 months training course, there was increase in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and rate-pressure product at arm-crank rate of both 60rpm and 90rpm. The maximal insipiratory pressure (Pi max) and maximal expiratory pressure (Pi max) were significantly increased. The decrease in resting pulse rate and vital capacity were statistically insignificant (P:0.05). The severity of the scoliosis in polimomyelitis could affect the result of swimming training, but …

Clinical Experience Of A New Antispasticity Drug-Baclofen, I-Nan Lien, Su-Ching Lee

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Baclofen,a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid, was introduced in 1966 as a possible treatment for spasticity due to cortico-spinal tract lesions. The previous reports suggested that it may be more effective than other spasmolytic agents, currently available. This report presents our experience with baclofen in the management of spasticity in 45 hospitalized patients of department of rehabilitation in NTUH. Among them, 25 cases were cerebral lesion (3 head injured, 22 cerebral vascular diceased),20 cases were spinal cord lesion (11 quadriplegic,9 paraplegic). 36 cases were males and 9 cases were females. The age distribution was from 13 years old to 74 years …

A Study Of Spinal Rotational Manipulation For Low Back Pain, Chorng-Sonq Chou, Li-Ming Lin, Tao-Chang Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Twenty low back pain patients and sixteen not suffering from low back pain were taken several flexility and asymmetry tests by two different examiners. Several possible quasi-objective measures of low back pain were investigateed, eleven subjective reported relief of pain immediately following rotational manipulations of lumbar spine as described by Cyriax.The objective tests of pre-and post-manipulation were analyzied, hamstring tightness test was not particular high due to the sensivity of different examiner, but active or passive straight leg raising can be strongly recommended for assement of spinal manipulation.

Clinical Application Of Growth Factor In Poor Healing Wounds: Preliminary Report, Pong-Yuen Wong, May-Kuen Wong, Chia-Chen Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Growth factor was reported to be effective in promoting wound healing, possibly through the mechanisms of stimulating DNA synthesis, chemotaxis of fibroblasts, embryogenesis, angiogenesis and enhancement of epithelialization. For investigation of the clinical result, 8 cases with poor healing wounds were treated by our own product of ointment with growth factor. They were admitted to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from Feb. to December 1988. Among them, three were DM foot complicated with peripheral vascular disease and received below- knee amputation, three were sacrum pressure sore, and two were traumatic injury with extensive skin defect.

Leisure Satisfaction Of Alcoholics And Cocaine Addicts, Tamera F. Stanback

Masters Theses

A role for occupational therapists is to help substance abuse clients achieve a healthy balance across occupational performance areas, including leisure. The literature suggests that alcoholics have deficits in leisure, but cocaine addicts have not yet been studied systematically in terms of leisure. This study compared twenty alcoholics from two Midwestern in-patient treatments centers to fourteen unmatched cocaine addicts at the same centers in terms of their leisure satisfaction. Then, nine male subjects from each group were matched in terms of age and family status, and t-test comparisons were made once again. The Leisure Satisfaction Scale was used as a …

Continuous Passive Motion After Knee Arthroscopy, Lisa Bauman

Masters Theses

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of continuous passive motion (CPM) after arthroscopy. A CPM machine was used one hour following knee surgery. Statistical analysis was performed to determine differences in knee range of motion (ROM), strength and circumference, at time intervals preoperatively, one, seven, and twenty-eight days following surgery. The analysis of variance revealed no significant difference between the CPM and control groups for any parameter. A significant interaction effect between treatment and time was demonstrated one day after surgery for extension, joint line circumference, and midthigh circumference; and 28 days after surgery for the …
