Sensory Stimulation To Promote Deep Breathing In The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patient, Sharon Kay Sauer

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Breathing retraining has been an integral part of respiratory rehabilitation for the patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (C.O.P.D.). Techniques used for breathing retraining have been studied for many years. These techniques include such breathing retraining modalities as relaxation conditioning, positioning maneuvers, abdominaldiaphragmatic breathing, pursed lip breathing and intermittent positive pressure breathing. Controversy concerning the therapeutic value of many of these techniques has developed. In this descriptive case study on three subjects with C.O.P.D. the experimental technique of sensory stimulation was investigated as a breaching retraining method. Sensory stimulation consisted of five minutes of repetitive brushing and two to three …

Effect Of Donor Pretreatment On The Graft Survival Of Human Cadaver Kidneys, Stanley G. Dienst, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The effect of donor pretreatment on perfused cadaver kidney allografts was evaluated in 40 recipients at Henry Ford Hospital over a two-year period. Ofthe 40,23 received kidneys from donors pretreated with 40 mg/K each of cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone during the first year of the study and up to 70 mg/K during the second year. Our results indicated that donor pretreatment for five to eight hours did not consistently improve survival rates in pretreated perfused cadaver kidneys following transplantation. The use of cyclophosphamide for donor pretreatment does not prevent the use of continuous perfusion to preserve human kidneys. Dosages up to …

Intravenous Methylprednisolone For Kidney Transplantation, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The effect of different dosage levels (0-100 mg/k/day x 3)of intravenous methylprednisolone was tested in canine kidney autografts undergoing immediate contralateral nephrectomy. Intravenous methylprednisolone was safely administered in doses up to 40 mg/k/day for three days after kidney transplantation. Higher doses ( 40 mg/k/day x 3) were functionally and structurally harmful to canine kidney autografts.

Reevaluation Of A New Colloid Hyperosmolar Solution For Hypothermic Storage Of Ischemic Canine Kidneys, Manuel Chee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Richard M. Condie

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This paper describes the results of experiments designed to test the effectiveness of a new colloid hyperosmolar solution (Toledo-Pereyra) for renal hypothermic storage. Three experimental conditions were employed: 60 minutes of warm ischemia (37 C), 24 hours of hypothermic storage, and a combination of warm ischemia and hypothermic storage. Canine kidneys tolerated either one of the first two procedures when flushed with the colloid hyperosmolar solution before storage or transplantation. If warm ischemia was applied before 24 hours of hypothermic storage, four of six dogs survived more than 20 days after transplantation, while the other two died of uremia. Thus, …

Ultrastructural Study Of Wound Healing On A Root Planed And Citric Acid Treated Root Surface, Craig Martin Ririe

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

It has been shown previously that a root surface which has been scaled, root planed and demineralized by topical application of citric acid in vitro, is dominated by exposed collagen fibrils. The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanism of healing and possible reattachment of soft periodontal connective tissue to the root planed and subsequently acid treated root surfaces and to determine whether new collagen fibrils produced in the connective tissue could attach to these exposed fibrils.

Full thickness tissue flaps were raised and the coronal 4-5 mm of the labial alveolar plate removed over the maxillary incisor …

Isolation And Chemico-Physiologic Characterization Of A Parotid Hormone Activity From Porcine Glands, Jean-Marc Tieche

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

For the past decade, evidence has accumulated which suggests that the resistance of the teeth to dental decay is in part under systemic control. It was shown that the resistance is accomplished through the optimal operation of a dentinal fluid transport mechanism which is believed to be hormonally controlled by the hypothalamic-parotid gland endocrine axis. Although circumstantial evidence for such an endocrine function was strong, the isolation of a parotid hormone which stimulates the dentinal fluid transport mechanism remained to be accomplished.

Using modern biochemical techniques, a methodology was designed to isolate and purify the hormone from porcine parotid glands. …

Euthanasia Of Dogs And Cats: An Analysis Of Experience And Current Knowledge With Recommendation For Research, T. Carding, The Institute For The Study Of Animal Problems

Euthanasia Collection

While it may be regarded by some as inhumane or unethical to take any life, mankind, as responsible stewards of animals, is obliged to do so for many reasons: for food, health, population control, to alleviate incurable suffering, etc. Yet beyond the ironies and ethical dilemmas of the right to life versus the right to take life, lies the necessity to destroy life. This entails an enormous ethical responsibility relevant to the times, and also the moral injunction that the method of killing be humane, in other words, causing the least possible distress, physically and psychologically. This injunction implies, therefore, …

New Attachment Of Connective Tissues To Human Teeth Involved In Chronic Periodontal Disease : A Histologic Study, Rick Cole

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Reconstruction of the periodontium destroyed by periodontal disease may be considered an ultimate goal of reconstructive periodontal therapy. To date, there has been no concrete evidence demonstrating this phenomenon in humans. Garrett (1978) has shown that citric acid, after application to root planed tooth surfaces, produces a four micron wide demineralized zone which is characterized by exposed collagen fibers. It is impossible that this demineraIization may lead to new attachment by enhancing cementogenesis or by exposing root surface-fibers which by simple fibrogenesis may splint to fibers of the healing surgical wound. Register (1973) and Register and Burdick (1975) have reported …

Nutritional Aspects In The Care Of The Child With Cleft Lip And Palate, Mary E. Keitel

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Proper nutrition is essential in the care of the infant with cleft lip or palate, as these infants are often plagued with feeding difficulties from birth. This paper reviews recent literature on the many feeding practices in use today and discusses the current trend toward a multidisciplinary approach to treatment for the cleft lip/palate child. It also presents a brief review of experimental animal studies which have implicated nutritional deficiences in the causation of cleft lip/palate.

Systems Theory, Robert D. Leighninger Jr.

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Systems Theory has generated a lot of excitement in the last decade. It has also spawned more than its share of pitchmen, enough so that it is in danger of being discredited before its genuine potential in many fields of practice has been fairly tested. Wearing the double halo of Science and Corporate Efficiency conferred by its association with the aerospace industry and the Pentagon, it has been enthusiastically offered to Federal and State governments (Chartrand, 1971; Hoos, 1969 & 1972) as well as private individuals and organizations as a way of solving complex social problems like mass transit, crime, …

Interactionist Theory, Human Behavior Social Work And Social Work Education, Ralph Segalman

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Much explanation of human behavior is based on assumptions about animal behavior. Two major contemporary theories, Behaviorism and Freudianism place major emphasis upon the human being as animal. Many middle-level theories have no reference to man's distinctive social characteristics. However, social explanations of behavior do have a heuristic advantage in the study of human functioning and "social pathology."

What's New In Crohn's Disease Treatment, Francis J. Owens

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Progress in the management of Crohn's disease is limited by our inability to compare different patients. Two methods of evaluating the severity of disease have recently been published. Of these, the National Cooperative Crohn's Disease Study (NCCDS) method has been utilized in a study reported on at several national meetings but still in progress. Antibiotics in intensive prolonged dosage, e.g. ampicillin, 500 mg qid for several months, have recently been reported to benefit greater than 90% of patients not responding to conventional therapy. Metronidazole and dapsone continue to be mentioned in letters to journals. Sulfasalazine has been found useful in …
