Guided Abduction In The Treatment Of Congenital Hip Dislocations, Alfred B. Webber

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Guided abduction has been well accepted in Southern California as an effective method in the initial treatment of congenital hip dislocation. Since 1953, when this procedure was first instituted, no report has been made in the world literature describing its application and the results obtained. One of the purposes of this communication has been to outline the stages in treatment and show some of the results obtained.

The early group of congenital hip dislocations represents a difficult problem. It has been shown as a result of this study that guided abduction is an effective way to control the reduction of …

Pharmacological Studies Of Antidiabetic Chinese Herbs, Mun Fa Lee

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Rehmannia glutinosa, Atractylus ovata, and Polygonatum chinense have all been employed by the Chinese as oral antidiabetic agents and reported by Min (1928), Kin (1931), and Li et al. (1936) to possess hypoglycemic activity. This prompted the pharmacological studies of these herbs.

Materials and methods. Their pharmacognosy was condensed from all available Chinese and scientific literature. Preliminary chemical and physical analyses included determinations for moisture, ash, crude fat, carbohydrates, protein, phosphorus, pH, alkaloids, melting point, and spectroscopy. Employing the Somogyi-Nelson method, their glycemic activity was studied in rats, rabbits, and dogs. Stress reactions were minimized. The effect …

Electroencephalography In A Teaching Hospital, Guy M. Hunt Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Electroencephalography may be defined as a study of the electrical activity of the brain. This activity was first recorded and reported by Caton in 1875. However, it was the work of Hans Berger, confirmed by Adrian and Matthews in 1935, which opened the way for the rapid advancement of knowledge in this field. The arrival of the age of electronics made possible development of the sensitive, accurate, and dependable amplifiers available in modern electroencephalography, which has in turn made possible the rapid advancements in this field. Techniques have been perfected and standardized, personnel have been trained, and laboratories have been …

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

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 …

Studies Of The Changes In Cardiovascular Functions During Hypothermia, Theodore Gates Brown Jr.

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

In the past few years general hypothermia has been investigated as a means of reducing the oxygen requirements of the body sufficiently to allow exclusion of the heart from the circulation and thus permit intracardiac surgery under direct vision. There is also an important group of patients whose poor physical condition precludes radical surgery of any type. If the oxygen demands of the brain and other vital organs can be sufficiently reduced by hypothermia, it is conceivable that these patients would be able to withstand the shock of reduced circulation and even peripheral vascular embarrassment for short periods of time. …

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.
