Epidemiology Of Plasmodium Hexamerium Huff, 1935, In Meadowlarks And Starlings Of The Cheyenne Bottoms, Barton County, Kansas, John J. Janovy Jr.

John J. Janovy, Jr. Publications

A 2-year epidemiological study of Plasmodium hexamerium in meadowlarks and starlings of the Cheyenne Bottoms Waterfowl Management Area, Barton County, Kansas, revealed that seasonal infection incidence varied significantly in the meadowlark, being highest in the early spring and lowest in the winter, but did not vary significantly in the starling. Both host species became infected at an early age, the meadowlark in the nest and the starling soon after leaving it. In concurrent vector studies: (1) Culex tarsalis was infected with P. hexamerium in the laboratory; (2) C. tarsalis, Aedes nigromaculis, and A. sollicitans were exceedingly abundant and fed …

A Comparative Study Of The 5- And 3-Meal Plans In Six Convalescent Hospitals In San Bernardino County, Donna J. Meek

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A study comparing the 3- and 5-meal plans of food service, as used in long-stay geriatric units in San Bernardino County, have been compared. Three homes utilizing the 5-meal plan and three utilizing the 3-meal plan, to serve as controls, were chosen. A random sample of ten patients from each home was observed for three days to find the daily average nutrients in the foods served, eaten, and wasted. Also, interviews to compare factual information and attitudes were utilized for sample patients and personnel. The nutritional data was analyzed on the computer.

The results indicated that those on the 5-meal …

Molecular Taxonomy Of Triatominae, Henry D. Brodie

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A taxonomic study of the subfamily Triatominae was conducted to determine systematic relationships using agar gel diffusion methods in the differentiation of ova antigens and electrophoresis to differentiate hernolymph proteins.

Agar gel diffusion methods indicated that two distinctive Triatominae species from South America could be distinguished from typical North American species; it was also possible to distinguish the monotypic genus Dipetalogaster from other North American populations.

A total of 180 electrophoretic tracings of Triatominae hernolyrnph were made from 18 populations of kissing bugs. Closely related populations of the Triatoma Protracta, Triatoma Rubida, and Paratriatoma Hirsuta Complexes showed group relationships within …

Biosystematics And Life Histories Of The Peromyscus Guardia Group Of Mice And Peromyscus Eremicus (Rodentia: Cricetidae), Leonard R. Brand

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this project was to investigate the taxonomic relationship and the biology of Peromyscus eremicus, and the Peromyscus guardia group of mice from islands in the Gulf of California.

Hybridization experiments were conducted between P. eremicus and P. interparietalis ryckmani. They were interfertile and produced fertile hybrids. Peromyscus guardia did not breed in the laboratory.

Body and skull measurements for P. eremicus, P. interparietalis ryckmani, and their F₁ hybrids were analyzed by computing the discriminant functions and plotting a canonical scattergram. Peromyscus interparietalis ryckmani is quite distinct from P. eremicus. The hybrids were larger than either parent …

A Growth Study On Phenylketonurics, Emma Johnson Aitken

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Data from forty-eight medical records of phenylketonuria children under treatment were investigated to determine if growth, as measured by stature, was normal; and to determine if the state of control or the age at beginning of treatment had an effect on growth. Mean intakes of phenylalanine, protein, and calories were obtained on the nutritional data only if the simultaneous serum phenylalanine was equal to or less than 6 milligrams per cent. These means were grouped according to the age of the children into 7 groups (0

The height at beginning of treatment and the last measured height was compared with …

Influence Of Caloric Distribution On Weight Loss, Georgia E. Hodgkin

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect timing of meals has on the rate of weight loss. Five hospitalized obese adults were placed on a 1200 Calorie reducing diet for approximately eight weeks.

For about a four-week period the 1200 Calories were divided into six meals per day of 200 Calories each. These same patients were given the 1200 Calories in three meals per day approximately another four-week period. With three meals per day, the calories were divided into 200 Calories for breakfast and lunch and 800 Calories for the evening meal. The former pattern represents ad …

Sexual Receptivity And Fertility Of Androgen Induced Persistent Estrous Rats, Norman Donald Diebel

Masters Theses

The effect of neonatally administered testosterone propionate (TP) on sexual receptivity and fertility was studied. Dosages of 25 μg and ten μg were used and were administered s.c. in peanut oil on the fifth day of life. Vaginal smears of the animals receiving 25 μg were begun at the age of 61 days and indicated that these animals exhibited modified estrous cycles. By 90 days of age, most of the animals in both dosage groups were in constant vaginal estrus. These prolonged periods of vaginal estrus were often interrupted only by mating.

At 97 days of age 40 females which …

Home Range Analysis Of The Montane Vole, Don Rogers Toews

All Master's Theses

This study on Microtus montanus was divided into three major sections: 1) An examination of nests, burrows, and runways, 2) A comparison of two methods of home range analysis--live trapping and radio-isotope tracing, and 3) A comparison of the home range of Microtus montanus with other species of Microtus as published in the literature.

An Organ Culture Technique For Maintaining The Pulp Tissue Of Intact Human Teeth, John P. Devincenzo

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The size of explants in organ culture is limited by their ability to feed, respire, and excrete by diffusion. The perfusion procedure described in this report is not limited to a particular explant size. The test tissue was the adult human tooth.

In order to maintain the pulp tissue of the intact human tooth in organ culture, special precautions were taken to prevent internal necrosis and to allow diffusion of nutrients and waste products. Using aseptic technique, a standard tissue culture medium plus appropriate antibiotics were delivered to a glass manifold housed in an incubator with an atmosphere at 100% …

Heat Exposure And 137-Cesium Distribution In Citellus Spilosoma, Noel Savignac

Biology ETDs

Radiocesium ( ¹³⁷Cs) is formed in high yield from nuclear fission and has a long physical half-life, 27 yr. These facts plus ready absorption by the gastrointestinal tract (Hamilton, 1947) make cesium one of the most dangerous fission products and as such has provided impetus for the study of ¹³⁷Cs metabolism from the standpoint of both physical characteristics and health physics. As a portion of these investigations, the effects of temperature changes, specifically elevated environmental temperatures, were studied with the intent of demonstrating physiological factors involved in ¹³⁷Cs uptake and retention by animals native to semiarid environments. …

Some Developmental Aspects Of The Bacula Of Lasiurus And Antrozous, Modesto Del Castillo

Biology ETDs

A means of aging Lasiurus cinereus by bacular measurement was sought. The study indicated that linear measurements of the baculum cannot be used as a means of aging.

A histological study of the development of the baculum of Antrozous pallidus was conducted. The animals used in the study ranged in age from two days to eight weeks. The study showed that the structure is not preformed in cartilage.

Northward Dispersal Of The Hispid Cotton Rat In Nebraska And Missouri, Hugh H. Genoways, Duane A. Schlitter

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Cockrum (1948 : 306-312 and 1952 : 184-187) summarized the northward movement of the hispid cotton rat, Sigmodon hispidus texianus, in Kansas. He showed that between 1933 and 1947 the cotton rat extended its distribution northward approximately 100 miles-from Greenwood and Allen counties north to Brown County, an average distance of seven miles per year. As of 1952, the northernmost record for the species was 5 mi. S Hiawatha, Brown County (obtained 29 November 1947), in northeastern Kansas. Trapping between 1945 and 1947 in Mitchell, Norton, and Thomas counties, in the central and western parts of northern Kansas, and …
