The Effect Of Natural Measures To Aid In Sleep As Compared With The Use Of Flurazepam 30 Milligrams As Seen In The Hospitalized Male Patient, Myra Ladd Thompson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Sleep is necessary for physical and psychological restoration of the body. Studies indicate that tissue repair is augmented during sleep, showing that rates of protein synthesis and of mitotic division are higher at times of rest and sleep. Studies evaluating sleep-deprived subjects reveal that after loss of normal sleep, some types of memory and learning processes are impaired. These subjects generally become anxious and irritable, especially after loss of dreaming sleep.

Sleeping medications have been implicated by observers and researchers to be a cause of altered sleep patterns. These medications not only disrupt normal sleep cycles, but their continued use …

The Analysis Of S-Adenosylmethionine And S-Adenosylhomocysteine In Normal And Neoplastic Cells, Kathryn Elizabeth Godburn

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

Altered patterns of methylation have been shown in both ribosomal and transfer RNA isolated from cancer cells. In contrast to the elevated activity of the methyltransferases responsible for this modification, hypomethylation appears as a general characteristic. The endogenous levels of S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine are important in relationship to their role as substrate and product of the transmethylation reaction. The levels of S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine were determined using phosphocellulose cation exchange or high pressure liquid chromatography. High voltage paper electrophoresis was used in a modified procedure to directly resolve (³⁵s) labeled S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine in small quantities of cell …

Richmond Smith As A Clinical Investigator: His Work On Adult Periosteal Bone Expansion And Nutritional And Endocrine Aspects Of Osteoporosis In Light Of Current Concepts, A. M. Parfitt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This paper discusses Richmond Smith's contributions to the field of metabolic bone disease from 1949 to 1969 in light of current concepts. He was the first to demonstrate continuing periosteal bone expansion in adults, a phenomenon of great biologic interest which is best explained if adult bone remodelling is qualitatively similar on all surfaces. He was the first to show that persons with less bone than normal have an increased risk of subsequent fracture, and so are more likely to benefit from preventive treatment. He found that blood vitamin D levels were lower in osteoporotic subjects than in controls, but …

Osteoporosis And Epidemiology Of Fractures In Croatia: An International Comparison, Velimir Matkovic, Marija Ciganovic, Cedomil Tominac, Krista Kostial

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We examined the epidemiology of osteoporotic fractures in Croatia and correlated the results with data from other countries. We analyzed annual rates of wrist fractures in the large urban community of Zagreb and hip fractures in the Republic of Croatia. In addition, we determined mortality data and measured metacarpal bone mass In patients with hip fractures. There were age and sex differences in the incidence of both types of fracture. The incidence of wrist fractures is the same as in some Northwestern European countries, but the incidence of hip fractures is much lower. The mortality after hip fractures is high …

Lipoprotein Lipase Inhibitor Removal During Ultrafiltration Of Renal Failure Patients, Alisa Minear

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Plasma samples were obtained from seven hypertriglyceridemic (>150 mg/dl) chronic renal failure patients before and after regular hemodialysis. The effect of the plasma on the lipolytic activity of bovine milk lipoprotein lipase was investigated. The lipoprotein lipase activity, as measured by release of C¹⁴-labeled free fatty acid from triglyceride, was decreased 8-67% when incubated with uremic plasma as compared to the control plasma (44 mg/dl triglyceride). The inhibition noted prior to hemodialysis did not appear to be alleviated by the dialysis but subsequent treatment with an isolated ultrafiltration technique did appear to remove an inhibitory substance as …

Persistent Obstructive Jaundice Associated With Chronic Pancreatitis, C. Grodsinsky, M. A. Block

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Persistent obstructive jaundice due to stenosis of the distal common bile duct by chronic pancreatitis has been documented in 13 patients of 253 for whom the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis has been established. All 13 cases required operation; obstructive jaundice was present at surgery in nine; four had recurring jaundice for prolonged periods. None had associated biliary lithiasis. All cases showed evidence of excess alcohol intake. The jaundice, often associated with mild to moderate pain, was disabling and life-endangering and was relieved by operation. In these patients carcinoma must always be ruled out by diagnostic studies, operation, and the elapse …

The Management Of Iatrogenic Chylous Ascites, Joseph W. Lewis, Edward H. Storer

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Iatrogenic chylous ascites, although extremely rare, appears to follow direct lymphatic injury during intra-abdominal surgery or to be due to specific postoperative complications such as pancreatitis. Statistically, truncal vagotomy has produced the largest number of cases. Any noticeable lymphatic injuries at the time of surgery should be controlled with appropriate sutures or clips. If iatrogenic chylous ascites develops postoperatively, a course of conservative treatment including multiple paracenteses should be tried for several weeks if reasonable nutritional balance can be maintained. If fluid volume does not diminish or the patient's nutritional status is jeopardized, early exploration should be undertaken. A lipophilic …

Diagnostic And Therapeutic Immunology Of Renal Cell Cancer, Richard C. Klugo

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

There is evidence that renal cell carcinoma can alter the host immunologic system in several modalities. Diagnostic immunologic monitoring techniques reviewed in this report include delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction (DCHR), absolute peripheral lymphocyte count (APLC), lymphocyte mitogen response (LMR), T-lymphocyte population (erythrocyte rosette), microcytotoxicity assay, in vitro monocyte chemotaxis, and serum blocking factors. Therapeutic immunologic modalities include xenogeneic immune ribonucleic acid (RNA), intradermal BCG, preoperative transcatheter renal artery embolization, immune plasma transfusion, transfer factor, and polymerized autologous tumor.
