Patterns Of Prehistoric Epidemiology And Human Paleopathology, Mahmoud Y. El-Najjar

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Human paleopathologists are interested in the visible marks of diagnosable disease that reflect various aspects of human biocultural interaction. Whether infectious, nutritional, or a combination of both, pathological characteristics in the dry bone provide some insight into the health of past human populations. Paleoepidemiology and human paleopathology are important parts of ecology in that they deal directly with a major aspect of man's relationship to his environment. The significance of this relationship has, to a large extent, been neglected by human skeletal biologists. The purpose of this study is to examine one of the most important aspects of human biocultural …

Pre-Columbian Tuberculosis: An Epidemiological Approach, Jane E. Buikstra, Della C. Cook

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this study we have combined both biological and cultural data in the investigation of resorptive pathology in Woodland and Mississippian skeletal series from west-central Illinois. Information concerning the types of lesions and their distribution confirms the presence of a previously unknown disease in Mississippian populations. Adults and adolescents from Yokem and Schild Mississippian components clearly display cystic vertebral pathology, which in association with other peripheral osseous lesions distinguishes them from earlier groups. This idea is supported indirectly by evidence from both infants and children of the Schild sample.

Attitudes Of Doctor Of Pharmacy Students Toward The Application Of Social And Administrative Pharmacy In Clinical Practice, C. Anderson Johnson, J. Lyle Bootman

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

Over the past decade, dramatic changes have occurred in the education of pharmacists. A significant factor in this change has been the introduction of clinical pharmacy. The emerging role of the clinical pharmacist has forced educators to take a second look at the relevance of the pharmacy curriculum. In fact, many of the pharmacy disciplines have re-oriented their specific knowledge objectives to meet the needs of today's clinical practitioners.

The Management Of End-Stage Renal Disease (Esrd), William F. Falls Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) may be defined as a state of renal insufficiency of such severity that the affected individual is unable to carry out his usual activities because of symptoms usually attributed to the uremic syndrome. This state has been reached, or is imminent, when the serum creatinine concentration rises above 10 mg/100 ml and/or the creatinine clearance falls below 5 to 10 ml/min and reversible causes of renal failure such as obstructive uropathy, bilateral renal vascular disease, severe accelerated hypertension, hypercalcemic nephropathy, uric acid nephropathy, and certain immunologic diseases such as Wegener granulomatosis have been excluded. Prospective analysis …

Cancer And The Kidney, Donald E. Oken

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Cancer of the kidney is associated with a bewildering array of extrarenal symptoms, and conversely, tumors far removed from the kidney produce intriguing renal functional abnormalities. A variety of extrarenal complications are seen with hypernephromas, most of which rarely accompany Wilms tumors which grow rapidly and generally occur before the age of 7. Wilms tumors are quite susceptible to radiation therapy and surgery, and are to be strongly suspected when hypertension and an abdominal mass are found in a small child. Unless treated, they rapidly cause death and usually leave little opportunity for the patient to develop the striking extrarenal …

The End-Stage Renal Disease Program, William K. Stacy

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

By the mid 1960's it had been clearly demonstrated that the lives of people with total, permanent kidney failure could be indefinitely prolonged with the artificial kidney and that an acceptable proportion of kidney transplants would be successful. The extraordinary cost of this form of therapy, however, prohibited its application to the majority of patients. A strong lobby of health care providers and consumers sought government assistance and in the spring of 1972 Congress passed Public Law 92-603 (Section 2991) which provided for payment of 80% of costs for management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) for all persons eligible for …

1978 Apothecary, Southwestern Oklahoma State University

Apothecary

The staff of THE APOTHECARY '78 has worked hard to put together what we consider to be a very good publication, but our efforts would not have been possible without the advise and support of many people. Our sincerest thanks go to our financial boosters, advertisers, and of course to Dean Dickison for his gracious support. We would also like to thank Mrs. Thomas and the entire office staff for providing us with the alumni listings. Mr. Jack Shelton and the Public Relations Department were also invaluable in the completion of the book.

Porotic Hyperostosis In The Eastern Mediterranean, J. Lawrence Angel

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Porotic hyperostosis is bone expansion caused by hypertrophy of blood-forming marrow. It usually affects the skull diploë in adults and the long bones, face, skull vault, and sometimes the trunk in children, often with some thinning and porosity in the cortex and even the formation of a double cortex (bone-in-bone) in severe infections. Excess formation of red cells in hematogenous marrow can come from sicklemia or thalassemia (especially in the homozygous form), from other hemolytic anemias including unusual blood defects like spherocytosis, and from iron deficiency anemia. Presumably hookworm, amebiasis and other dysenteries, endemic malaria, and even high-altitude anoxia can …

Program Evaluation: A Model For Evaluating Group Homes For The Developmentally Disabled, Michael J. Maley

Dissertations and Theses

The movement to increase the number of group home programs for the mentally retarded/developmentally disabled is present in the state of Oregon. The Boundary Street group home, located in Portland, was established as a result of this movement. As a rather typical group home program, it is subject to many of the program concerns and evaluation needs experienced by similar services. This point represents the ultimate reason for this paper. The primary purpose will be to develop a program evaluation system that will be appropriate and beneficial in meeting the evaluation needs of the Boundary Street group home. Because the …
