The Alkaloids, Felix F. Barre

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, presented for the degree of Bachelor of Science, provides a systematic chemical study of the alkaloids, a class of complex nitrogenous plant substances possessing basic properties. Barre opens by defining the alkaloids and surveying the various systems used to classify them, whether by natural versus artificial origin, chemical nucleus (pyridine, quinoline, or isoquinoline), volatility, or botanical family of origin, and outlines their general physical and chemical properties, including solubility, optical activity, and characteristic reactions with precipitating and color-test reagents.

The thesis details standard laboratory methods for the extraction and separation of alkaloids from plant material, including a step-by-step …

Diet In Relation To The Teeth, Gordon Adolph Peterson

Bachelors’ Theses

It should, be fully appreciated, by all, that the process of enamel development in the teeth, their eruption and nutrition is a part of the development of the osseous system, and is affected by the same factors that influence bone growth. If a tooth is poorly made, the best that can be done for its preservation is frequent repair.

Can Pyorrhoea Be Cured?, Albert Richard Moeder

Bachelors’ Theses

Pyorrhoea is one of the best known and commonest diseases in civilization. A certain dental company is advertising that four out of five are infected by this disease. This company has been lenient in their accusation, as men who are ardent students of pyorrhoea state specifically that 90 per cent of the world’s population have it in some form or other or have symptoms which would eventually turn into pyorrhoea. Knowing this and knowing also the results and unnecessary pain and discomforts that are produced, every individual should respect and fear this disease accordingly.

Oral Sepsis In Its Relation To Systemic Diseases, W. F. Neuschafer

Bachelors’ Theses

The discovery of a relationship between ill health and defective teeth is by no means recent. It has received casual mention.in the older literature and has been independently recognized, perhaps for centuries, by practitioners of medicine and dentistry. The subject has not received the prominence it deserves, however, previous to the past decade. The earlier idea of such a relation was, however, limited largely to acute generalized infection from a wound, or surgical sepsis. Rarely a clinician had a wider conception of the possible effects of a local infection.

Elimination Of Pain In Cavity Preparation, Albert N. Weinzierl

Bachelors’ Theses

It is pain and fear of pain that vacates the dental chair. We may use every means at our command to gain our objective with nothing but mediocre success so long as the spectre of pain confronts the patient. In spite of the fact that people of today are more dental minded, the percentage of adequately cared for mouths is negligible. Various reasons have been offered as to why the dental profession fails to attract a larger and more earnest clientele. The lack of dental prestige, the lack of appreciation by the laity of the vital importance of mouth care …

Hemorrhage Following Extractions, Hyman Soref

Bachelors’ Theses

Hemorrhage, or the discharge of blood from a ruptured blood vessel during life, constitutes one of the normal results of every operation of tooth extraction. In the majority of cases its control is simple, as it ceases within a short time and need be no cause for alarm. In exceptional cases, however, the discharge may be prolonged and excessive and cause, not only great anxiety to the dentist, but also much mental stress and a condition of extreme physical exhaustion to the patient. In such cases it must be regarded as a very serious complication necessitating prompt and exceptional treatment. …

Pre-Natal Diet And Infant Feeding, Frank J. Ryan

Bachelors’ Theses

The times, when it was necessary for every expectant mother to sacrifice her teeth in order to supply her child with calcium, are past. Women today, who are pregnant, can live as normally and as healthily as those women who are not pregnant. This is made possible by the extensive research and investigation of diets and qualifications of foods.

Blood Calcium Determinations Of Arthritic Patients, M. Wilma Delgrande

Bachelors’ Theses

The determination of Calcium in the blood of Arthritic patients as an interesting problem was suggested by Doctor J. C. Metts, physician at the Sacred Heart Sanitarium from August 1927 to September 1930, and encouraged by Doctor F. W. Mackoy, present physician at the Sanitarium.

All the experimental work was carried on in the Laboratory of the Sacred Heart Sanitarium and all the specimens of blood were taken from cases present at the Sanitarium during the time of the writing of this thesis.

The Spleen As Part Of The Lymphatic And Vascular Systems, Clement Fox

Bachelors’ Theses

A great deal of work has been expended on the study of the functions of the spleen, and the results obtained have, for the most part, been disappointing. Unlike most other organs of the body, the spleen is not easily accessible to study either by means of its physiological effects or by chemical tests to determine its functional activity, and this is especially true in regard to any secretions it may pour out. Since the spleen has no external secretion, and no known internal secretion has as yet been definitely proved the results of its activity cannot easily be studied …

The Spleen Considered With Special Reference To Its Functions, Louis J. Schmidt

Bachelors’ Theses

In arranging this thesis an attempt has been made to show that by virtue of its embryology, anatomy and histology, the spleen is the better enabled to carry out its alleged functions. The discussion here presented is confined to a story of the functions of the mammalian spleen alone. The similarities in the reactions of the spleen in the various mammalia is quite evident. Experimentation and observations were carried out on the lower mammalia while only the reactions of the splenectomized humans could be observed.

The Incidence Of Avian Tuberculosis In Mammals Other Than Swine, L. Van Es, H. M. Martin

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The recognition of a very widespread and intense distribution of avian tuberculosis on the farms of a wide area of the United States, as well as the involvement of a mammalian species also, brought to the foreground the question whether or not the great prevalence of poultry tuberculosis could be of importance also from a public health point of view. This phase of the problem not only pertains to the people on the farms but likewise is of fundamental importance to the consumers of poultry produce. European authors had already identified the avian tubercle bacillus in human lesions while in …

Asepsis In Dentistry, Harry Sher

Bachelors’ Theses

Up to the year 1860 surgery and sepsis were practically synonymous. Surgical procedures, accomplished as they were without the use of antiseptics, could not, of necessity, be done with the greatest of care, for the time element was the chief factor in success. In consequence, infections and diseases, as for example, pyemia, septicemia, erysipelas and hospital gangrene were the rule rather than the exception. Surgery was confined practically to amputations, while thoracic and abdominal operations were almost unknown.

Etiology Of Malocclusion, Chester Strahorn

Bachelors’ Theses

By those who regard orthodontic treatment in the light of a purely mechanical procedure the etiology of malocclusion is given a position of secondary importance. While not belittling the necessity for thorough treatment, it has been found that some cases under the most careful treatment procedure have been failures. This leads one to suppose that in such conditions the causative factors, whether known or unknown, are still in force. Therefore it is of first importance to the orthodontist to get all possible information which bears on the cause of malocclusion. Medical literature contains much testimony to the effect that all …

Mottled Enamel, William Henry Stehly

Bachelors’ Theses

Perhaps one of the most puzzling of all dystrophies of the teeth is the macroscopical malformation called "Mottled Enamel".

This peculiarity is characterized by white, brown, and corn-colored opaque areas of enamel surrounded by apparently normal enamel. Upon examination, this enamel presents a smooth surface, though at times it may be slightly pitted. Nevertheless, the surface remains highly polished. If this surface is broken up with a bur, it is found to be of a chalky granular consistency, the whitish material at times containing the yellowish pigment which may occupy the entire thickness of the enamel. If these spots are …

Swine Sanitation, L. Van Es

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

From the very beginning of Nebraska's agricultural development its farmers have recognized that the production of swine must of necessity accompany the growing of corn. The latter, one of the state's most important staples, cannot be marketed in a more economical manner than after having been transformed into pork, bacon, and lard. As a result the state has for many years maintained a rather dense swine population mainly divided into large herds kept on relatively small areas of land. This density of population, as well as certain practices in management and selective breeding, has brought about conditions favorable for the …
