The Effects Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine On A Conditioned Emotional Response In Rats, Roy J. Hartmann

Theses & Dissertations

The initial intent of this study was to investigate p-CPA's actions on conditioned "anxiety" (CER) in rats in order to ascertain whether the derived effects were qualitatively similar to those previously reported for "conflict" behavior. Specifically, the goals of this study were to determine if p-CPA would reinstate lever-pressing behavior that had been suppressed by a series of tone-shock pairings. If a change in behavior did occur, would the reintroduction of serotonin, through the use of 5-HTP, return the behavior to pre-drug control levels.

Immunologic Competence In Idiopathic Ulcerative Colitis (Humoral Aspects Of Immunity), Gerald A. Logrippo, Klaus Anselm, Hajime Hayashi, Robert J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Systemic immune status was studied in 86 idiopathic ulcerative colitis patients. Quantitation of the major serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) and qualitation for specific enteropathogens (bacterial and viral) associated with the immunoglobulins are correlated with the severity and duration of the disease. The studies demonstrate the immunologic competence of these patients to respond to a variety of infections with normal activity and hyperactivity. In addition, systemic complications associated with ulcerative colitis, particularly liver involvement, are reflected in the immunologic studies.

Sentiment Changes And Recreation Participation, Perry J. Brown

Forest Management Faculty Publications

If participation in recreation activities represents a choice among alternatives, then such discretion may have implications for measuring activity participation. Following is a discussion of the discretionary nature of recreation and the importance of such discretion for use projection which utilizes participation rates. It is proposed that consumer sentiment about the economy at the time participation data are collected is important in evaluating the data and activity projections. The 1960 Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission projections indicated that participation in recreation activities would increase by a factor of three from 1960 to 2000 (13). More recent (1965) statistics published by …

The Psychological Needs Of Hospital Dietary Supportive Personnel, Ralph Morales Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Achieving objectives in hospital food service systems is made more critical by the increasing rate of labor turnover. One of the major emphases that seems to offer promise for solving certain current manpower problems is a better understanding of the factors which may contribute to turnover. A quantitative approach to the identification of human needs in the work environment should provide information relevant to more effective planning and utilization of human resources.

The purpose of this research was to determine if by examining the psychological needs of hospital dietary supportive personnel, information could be derived for more objective management of …

The Effects Of Estradiol And Growth Hormone On Liver And Plasma Protein Of The Hypophysectomized Water Snake, Terry Chong Der

Master's Theses

The effects of estradiol and ovine growth hormone (GH) on liver and plasma protein of hypophysectomized Nat rix fasciata (southern banded water snake) were investigated. Liver and plasma protein concentrations were determined colorimetrically end expressed a mg/gm wet weight tissue.

Significant increases in liver protein levels occurred 48 and 7 hours after a single injection of estradiol in hypophysectomized animals. A single injection of GH had a like effect . Estradiol had a greater effect on liver protein levels than did GH. When estradiol and GH were administered together to hypophysectomized animals there was no apparent additive effect of the …

Surreptitious Ingestion Of Oral Anticoagulants, Thomas H. Greidanus, Ellis J. Van Slyck, Raymond W. Monto

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Hypoprothrombinemia secondary to surreptitious ingestion of coumarin or indanedione anticoagulants may be a difficult diagnosis for the unsuspecting physician. Four such case reports are presented. The disease should be suspected if the prothrombin time is markedly elevated and the individual is associated with the medical profession or has had previous treatment with oral anticoagulants. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding a deficiency in Factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X and the presence of the coumarin or indanedione anticoagulant in the blood. The motive generally is that of gaining attention rather than committing suicide. Liver disease. Vitamin K deficiency states …

Adherence Of Men With Myocardial Infarction To Prescribed Exercise, Marsha Schwartz

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to find out if men with myocardial infarction followed exercise prescribed by the physician. The reasons the patients did or did not follow the exercise prescription were investigated.

An interview guide was used to gather the data for this exploratory study. The questions on the interview guide were designed to obtain information to compare the former exercise pattern of the patient to exercise after infarction. Adherence to the exercise prescription was also determined by the exercise reported in the interview. Fifteen male subjects who had myocardial infarction were interviewed in the hospital and after …

The Evolution Of Parasitism Among Bees, George E. Bohart

Faculty Honor Lectures

Before discussing parasitic bees, I will present a rough outline of the biology of "ordinary" or non-parasitic bees. The superfamily Apoidea (bees) includes perhaps 25,000 or 30,000 species divided into nine families by recent authorities (Stephen, Bohart, Torchio, 1969) . A common biological thread holding this vast assemblage together is the provision by adults of pollen and nectar for their young. Only in the honey bees (the genus Apis which includes four species) are the larvae fed primarily on a different substance (a secretion of the pharyngeal glands) , and even this is derived from pollen and honey eaten by …

Use Of The Vandercook Proof Press To Predict Rotogravure Print Quality, Patrick Phee

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The object of this thesis is to investigate a new idea in predicting printability for rotogravure printing. Present proof presses in the gravure industry are clumsy, expensive, and in most cases, impractical for regular use.

In order to understand the relationship between ink, paper, and plate, it is necessary to consider many variables such as smoothness, ink receptivity, porosity, moisture content, formation, surface strength, and opacity.

The laboratory work performed and presented in this paper shows that a Vandercook proof press may be used to predict printability in the gravure process.

Studies were conducted to (1) investigate whether any protective factor is present in fresh water-cured olives or fresh cabbage as compared with the heated supplements against stress-induced gastric lesions in rats maintained on a nutritionally adequate diet for six weeks, (2) determine the relative protective factor in water-cured olives as compared with cabbage, (3) study the effect of black pepper in combination with fresh cabbage and olives and heated cabbage and olives in rats that were fed the same nutritionally adequate diet, and (4) investigate the effects of the same dietary components—cabbage and olives--on histamine- induced gastric lesions in guinea …

The Effects Of Alcohol On Three Levels Of Complex Human Behavior, Grady Vancil Maraman

Theses and Dissertations

That alcohol affects human behavior has been known for centuries. However, how and why it affects behavior has not been precisely established despite extensive research and study. The inconsistent action of alcohol at different doses on different tissue systems and on different response systems has been well documented (Kalant 1 referenced in 39). The exact sites of action of alcohol in the central nervous system and the relative influence of each of these sites in cognitive and motor behavior are not known. The primary purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of blood alcohol concentrations below 0.100 percent …

Promethazine-Chlorpromazine Combination In The Treatment Of Unmanageable Psychotic Patients, Armando R. Favazza

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Administering a combination of promethazine and chlorpromazine to patients with a "galloping psychosis" has an antipsychotic and tranquilizing effect which calms them down to a more manageable and less aggressive state. The drugs are chemically similar; promethazine's actions are strongly potentiated in the combination, so large doses must be given under careful supervision. Case histories demonstrate successful short term management of acutely psychotic, aggressive patients who were a danger to themselves and others.
