A Clinical Method For Predicting Orthodontic Band Sizes, Robert P. Mohr

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A correlation was established among the orthodontic band sizes in a given individual. The original sample contained 258 data sets (Unitek Corp. band sizes from first molar through the first molar in both arches) which were computer analyzed. The maxillary right central incisor band size was selected as the "predictor size" for a band size prediction table developed from this study.

An additional 56 data sets were tabulated and became the test sample to test the accuracy of the band size prediction table. Band sizes of the test sample were predicted within ±1 band size 66% of the time and …

Stress Analysis Of Post And Crown Restorations Of Endodontically Treated Teeth, Ronald C. Hansen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Forty-four similar sized maxillary lateral incisor teeth were randomly divided into four equal groups to test their resistance to fracture. Group 1 teeth were the controls, no treatment was done. Group 2 teeth consisted of endodontically treated teeth, restored with composite resin in the access opening. Group 3 teeth were endodontically treated and restored with a post and flat surface standardized aluminum crown. The teeth in Group 4 were endodontically treated and restored with a post and composite resin core buildup with a cast gold crown. The metal collar of gold incorporated 1.5 mm of tooth structure below the core …

A Research Project On The Developmentally Disabled Adult, Randi Lynn Hillinger

Dissertations and Theses

No comprehensive data base concerning the adult developmentally disabled (ADD) population is available. The absence of theoretical formulations about aging, and particularly the aging ADD, make it difficult for service providers or professionals to incorporate a conceptual framework into their work.

A Study Of Treatment And Cephalometric Variables In Relation To Facial Axis Change During Treatment In A Dolichofacial Sample, Laurence A. Seifert

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The change in the facial axis in a sample of fifth-three dolichofacial patients, was compared with a number of pretreatment cephalometric variables. A number of treatment variables were also compared with the amount of facial axis change that occurred during orthodontic treatment.

The cephalometric variables measured were:

1. Facial axis
2. Upper face height (maxillary height)
3. Lower face height

Development Of A Short Form For The Carrow Elicited Language Inventory, Janet Lee Lawson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This investigation was designed to determine if a shortened or screening form could be developed for use with the Carrow Elicited Language Inventory (CELl) at the first grade level. The sample for this research was comprised of fifty-six children between the ages of 5 years 9 months and 6 years 9 months. The children were chosen according to availability and time factors and came from middle socioeconomic backgrounds.

All subjects were tested with the CELl. After selection of items for the short form, each child's score on the short form was compared with his score on the CELI with the …

Cranio-Facial Skeletal Morphology Of Digit Suckers, John Eric Peterson Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the cranio-facial skeletal morphology found in digit suckers.

The criteria used for selecting the 50 patients in this study were a history of digit sucking and an anterior dental open-bite. The sample consisted of Class I and Class II, Division 1 malocclusions, ages six through adult, for both sexes. If an individual was post— pubertal, they were classified as an adult. A Ricketts lateral cephalometric analysis of each patient was compared to standards of the same age. These differences were analyzed statistically with a Student t test and a one-way analysis of …

A Study Of The Clinical Features Of Renal Papillary Necrosis, Jose Martinez

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Renal papillary necrosis is a disease entity that has been recognized since 1878. Today, one hundred years later, a considerable amount of knowledge has been gathered about its possible etiologies, associated conditions, pathological pic ture, clinical manifestations, radiological features and mode of treatment. Very little is known, however, about prognosis of this disease. The literature is deficient of prognostic studies that may help the clinician predict the course of patients with renal papillary necrosis. This study is aimed to provide some answers to questions in the area of natural history and clinical features of this disease.

Locus Of Control, Knowledge Of Ethics, And Perceived Ethicality As Influenced By An Authority Figure, F. Matthew Mihelic, William G. Connolly

Faculty Publications

The present study investigated the relationship between a subject's locus of control, knowledge of psychological ethical research principles, and perceived ethicality of a psychological research proposal as influenced by an authority figure. Subjects were asked to judge the ethicality of a research proposal, which half were led to believe had been previously deemed unethical by an authority figure. No mention was made of the authority figure's viewpoint to the other subjects. The major finding was that the variability in ratings in ethicality of the research proposal tended to diminished from the no mention to the rejection manipulation in those of …

Development And Use Of A Phonological Recoding Strategy For A Short-Term Memory Task By Normal And Mentally Retarded Subjects, Mary Jo Bartels

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the presence or absence of a phonological recoding strategy in the mentally retarded population by using a memory matching exercise with visual stimuli. Pictures of common objects were divided into eight pictures with names that sound alike (homophonous) and eight with names that do not sound alike (non-homophonous). The null hypothesis tested was:

No statistically significant difference will be found between mentally retarded and normal subjects in the development and use of a phonological recoding strategy for a short-term memory task, when the subjects are matched for receptive vocabulary age.

The Stability Of Expanded Mandibular Canines, Premolars, And Molars Concomitant With Rapid Midpalatal Expansion, Ralph S. Kurti

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The view of not expanding mandibular canines to accommodate incisor crowding because of the fear of relapse of of the incisors has been generally accepted in orthodontics for many years. Most studies that have investigated expanded mandibular canine stability have concluded that they could not be permanently expanded to any degree. By adding another variable (rapid midpalatal expansion) to canine expansion it was thought that this might possibly increase canine expansion stability.

The purpose of this research was to determine if the stability of the expanded canines through 1st permanent molars was enhanced by concomitant rapid expansion of the midpalatal …

The Effect Of High Protein, Low Pyridoxine Diet On Calcium Retention In Rats, Julia S. Bottom

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The effect of increasing the dietary protein and pyridoxine level on calcium balance and bone strength was studied in growing and adult rats. The loss of calcium due to urinary excretion of o-phosphoryl-ethanolamine on a high protein diet was also examined.

Three studies were conducted. In the first adult male rats were fed 40% protein diets with high or low pyridoxine or a low protein, low pyridoxine diet. Calcium balance and femur bending stress were determined. In the second study male weanling rats were given either 10 or 63% protein with 0.40 or 0.73% pyridoxine. Calcium and phosphorous balances were …

The Effect Of Preoperative Instruction And Unit Orientation On Selected Postoperative Factors Of Nonemergency Critical Care Surgical Patients, Sharon Stephens Espersen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The intensive care unit's effect on the patient has become a subject discussed often by nurses and other health team members. One of the nursing interventions that has been implemented to attempt to de crease the potentially harmful environmental effects of the ICU on the patient is orienting the patient about what to expect prior to the ICU admittance.

A major problem is that most intensive care unit (ICU) patients are admitted to the unit on an emergency basis. Few studies, therefore, have focused on the effects of preoperative instruction of ICU patients. The studies that have been done were …

The Effect Of Perceptual Set On Listener Judgments Of Voice Quality Deviations, Patricia M. Hansen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to test the possible influence of perceptual set on listeners' judgments of voice quality deviations. Perceptual set was created by instructions given to an experimental group which limited their choices, thus encouraging a particular response. The effect of set on the overall performance of the group, on backward versus forward voice samples and on the level of experience of the listener were all investigated.

The sample for this study was comprised of 24 students of speech pathology and audiology. The subjects were divided into matched experimental and control groups and asked to listen to …

Glutamine Transport, Metabolism, And Ammoniagenesis In Rat Kidney, Jose Punnakudyil George

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Thie purpose of these studies was to clarify the functional significance of glutamine penetration and metabolism in postnatal increas1e in renal a1T111onia production using rat kidney slices .

Glutamine uptake, metabolism and ammoniagenesis were studied in kidney slices isolated from mature, gonadectomized males and females, and newborn rats in the presence of varying concentrations of glutamine. Slices isolated from mature intact females showed significantly higher conversion of ¹⁴C-glutamine into ¹⁴co₂ and NH₃ without any change in total uptake compared to all other experimental groups. Ovariectomy reduced CO₂ and NH₃ production without any effect on …

The Wavelength Dependence Of Ultraviolet Enhanced Reactivation In A Mammalian Cell-Virus System, Leslie C. James

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The effect of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the wavelength region 230 nm to 302 nm on the ability of an irradiated mammalian cell to reactivate UV-irradiated mammalian virus was tests. An action spectrum for radiation enhanced reactivation (RER) Is presented. The shape of the action spectrum points to a combined nucleic acid protein target for UV radiation effects on this cellular parameter. An analysis of the results of others involving the biochemical and photobiological events involved in the RER does not allow the identification of the macromolecule which is the major contributor to this effect. Studies involving an analogous phenomenon …
