The Effects Of Chronic Anaerobic Infection On Atherosclerosis In Rabbits, Janet Smitheran Bissell

Theses and Dissertations

Arterial disease is virtually a universal entity in man. Some cultures, such as the African Bantus have very little in the way of vascular lesions, while in the United States and other industrialized nations atherosclerosis affects a large segment of the population. With this in mind it is not hard to understand why ischemia, or arteriosclerotic heart disease, is second only to cardiovascular diseases in general as the major cause of death in the United States (4, 42).

Ruffer (112) noted the presence of arterial lesions in Egyptian mummies dating back 3,400 years. The presence of atherosclerotic lesions has also …

The Use Of Dance As A Tool For Personality Integration, Barbara Throckmorton Rankin

Dissertations and Theses

This study is exploratory in nature. The material was highly individualistic and subjective, so I have deviated from the traditional empirical research approach. My purpose is to grasp what kind of person was attracted to attending a dance workshop. How does Halprin’s use of dance assist people in learning about themselves? What kinds of information do people learn about themselves through her dance process? What techniques does Halprin combine with the medium of dance to get results? Are people enhanced, or better integrated by the Halprin process? Finally, my intention was to be stimulated by the Halprin process to explore …

Atomic Models For The Polypeptide Backbones Of Myohemerythrin And Hemerythrin, W A Hendrickson, K B Ward

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: The novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread rapidly after its identification in December 2019 to cause a global pandemic. The respiratory tract is the primary site of infection, and there is a large range in the severity of respiratory illnesses caused by the virus. Defining molecular and cellular factors for protection from severe disease and death has been a goal to better understand and to predict and mitigate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 and future coronaviruses.

Objective: Despite well-known susceptibilities to respiratory viral infections, respiratory allergy and allergic asthma have not been identified as risk factors …

Systematics Of Neotropical Hirstionyssus Mites With Special Emphasis With Special Emphasis On Venezuela (Acarina: Mesostigmata), C. Selby Herrin, Conrad E. Yunker

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This paper presents the results of a systematic study of mites of the genus Hirstionyssus Fonseca collected from mammals, primarily in Venezuela, but including one collection each from Colombia, Nicaragua, and British Honduras. Previously described species from Panamá and Brazil are reviewed and new distributional records are listed. The known Neotropical fauna of Hirstionyssus mites includes 15 species, 7 of which are described here as new: H. proctolatus n. sp.; H. brachysternum n. sp.; H. dorsolatus n. sp.; H. rhipidomys n. sp.; H, venezuelensis n. sp.; H. brevicalcar n. sp.; and H. parvisoma n. sp. The previously unknown male and …

Spinturnicid Mites Of Venezuela (Acarina: Spinturnicidae), C. Selby Herrin, Vernon J. Tipton

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The results of an extensive survey of spinturnicid mites of bats from Venezuela are presented in this paper. Approximately 30,000 bats were collected from a wide variety of life zones and localities. A representative sample was searched for ectoparasites. There are 3 genera of the family Spinturnicidae in Venezuela: Cameronieta, Periglischrus, and Spinturnix. Three previously described species of Cameronieta were found in the Venezuelan collection. Of the 7 species of Spinturnix previously described from the New World, 4 are reported from Venezuela. The genus Periglischrus constitutes by far the most significant segment of the Venezuelan collection. It is represented by …

Distribution And Abundance Of The Black-Billed Magpie (Pica Pica) In North America, Carl E. Bock, Larry W. Lepthien

Great Basin Naturalist

Analysis of Audubon Society Christmas bird count data and certain environmental variables shows the degree to which the Black-billed Magpie is a bird of cool arid regions in North America. The abundance and distribution of this species appear to be limited by two major climatic barriers: increasing summer temperatures in the Southwest and increasing summer humidity and precipitation on the central plains.

The Effects Of Immobility On Long Bone Remodelling In The Rhesus Monkey, Charles C. Schock, Frank R. Noyes, Michael M. Crouch, Catharina H. E. Mathews

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Using Frost's method for undecalcified bone sections, long bones of the lower extremities of ten rhesus monkeys were examined following two months' immobilization and compared with thirteen controls. A decrease in appositional rate and in the surface extent of the ossification process were noted in the immobilized animals. No typical change in resorption was noted. The immobilized animals showed a decreased cortical-total area ratio. These findings suggest that a decrease in activity affects bone by depressing functions mediated by the osteoblast without necessarily evoking an Increased remodelling response.

Mallophaga Of Venezuelan Mammals, K. C. Emerson, Roger D. Price

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Seven species of Mallophaga have been previously reported from Venezuelan mammals. In this paper an additional 28 species and subspecies, 7 of which are new, are reported from Venezuela; and 21 other species which have not been previously reported from Venezuela are included because their hosts are found there.

Obesity And Vegetarianism In Seventh-Day Adventist Women, Charlotte Ann Van Camp Darnell

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This thesis describes a comparative study of 82 vegetarian and 21 non-vegetarian Seventh-day Adventist females ages 25 to 65 to discover if there is a possible correlation between diet and weight. The subjects were chosen by random sampling in the specified target population and were personally interviewed by the use of a questionnaire.

The general linear hypothesis analysis shewed that present age and relative weight at age 25 were significant in terms of present relative weight; however, physical activity and socioeconomic stratum were not significant. Diet, defined as vegetarian or non-vegetarian, was only marginally significant.

Conclusions of this study are …
