Contributions from readers are invited.

An Anthropometric Study Of The Face And Dentition Of The Apache Indian Population At The Stewart Indian School, Garold D. Becker

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Cephalometric and dental morphology records were obtained from forty-three contemporary Apache Indian subjects (living at the Stewart Boarding School for Indians, Carson City, Nevada) to study the cranial, facial, skeletal and dentitional patterns and compare discriminately to other contemporary North American Indian groups: Pima, Papago, Mayo and Chamula. Materials on other Indian tribes considered were obtained from studies completed at Loma Linda University. The data obtained from dental morphology analysis of the Apache Indian subjects was com pared to the Mongoloid Master Pattern (1-4) as described by Moorrees (1957).

The contemporary Apache Indian conformed to the Mongoloid Master Pattern for …

The Image Of The Public Health Nurse As Seen By The Medically Indigent Prenatal Patient, Arlene Parrish Gray, Corlene Waddell Lambeth

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the image of the public health nurse as seen by the medically indigent prenatal patient who has had a public health nursing visit in the home. With this knowledge, she could plan a more effective approach, provide better services, and be better prepared to meet the needs of the prenatal patient. This study was aimed to explore the patients' concepts of the public health nurse's personal characteristics, her functions, and comparison of her image with other helping professions and to identify influencing factors affecting image formation. The exploratory approach was used and …

Quantitative Calculation Of Gas Chromatographic Peaks In Pesticide Residue Analyses, Jean A. Gaul

United States Food and Drug Administration: Publications

Comparison of five methods for calculating gas chromatographic peaks (disc integration, triangulation, peak height X width at half height, R_t X peak height, and peak height) shows no significant difference in the calculated results when aldrin, heptachlor epoxide, and dieldrin are injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with electron capture detector.

Problems are associated with the calculation of toxaphene, chlordane, DDT, and BHC. The author makes suggestions for calculating these four residues when present individually and in combinations with other pesticides. Use of the last four toxaphene peaks compares favorably with results obtained by using the entire toxaphene curve. …

Further Correlations Of Cell Metabolism And Resistance To Tuberculosis: Studies On Mononuclear Peritoneal Exudate Cells From Mice And Guinea Pigs, John M. Smith Jr., Marvin J. Allison, Brenda Payne

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The metabolic activity of mononuclear exudate cells from mice of different strains, and from the guinea pig, have been compared to the rabbit with the aim of relating metabolic activity of these cells to resistance of these species to tuberculosis. The presence of mast cells in the peritoneal exudates of mice was thought to interfere with the dehydrogenation of certain substrates due to the release of histamine. Some experimental evidence presented by the authors seems to support this thesis.

A Systematic Approach To The Evaluation And Treatment Of Marital Problems, George Kriegman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The collaboration of two persons of the opposite sex is a part of the natural sequence of human development and involves the integration of psychodynamic factors and group dynamics. Marriage can be classified into three general types: harmonious, adjusted, and disharmonious. The disharmonious group is classified according to the predominant security operations of the spouse into seven categories. The group dynamics are presented in terms of role functions following Spiegel's (1957) classification of role discrepancies and role resolution, emphasizing the concepts of complementarity and equilibration. The diagnostic evaluation of the personality structure is outlined in terms of the operative level …

Latency Relaxation: A Brief Analytical Review, Alexander Sandow

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this report I review certain aspects of the research on the latency relaxation (LR), the minute relaxation of a stimulated muscle that occurs during the latter half of the latent period, i.e., just prior to the onset of contraction (e.g., Sandow, 1944). The first part of my discussion will be historical, dealing with the early, mostly descriptive work on the LR, and then I shall present a more analytically oriented attempt to indicate the significance of the LR in relation to certain aspects of the response of a muscle to stimulation.

Recollections Of Professor Otto Meyerhof, Chalmers L. Gemmill

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Professor Meyerhof's laboratory represented the Institute approach with all of the workers devoting their attention to the several aspects of the single problem of muscle metabolism. The number of papers (Meyerhof, 1930) and the great contributions from this laboratory represent the results of the dominant personality of one man. The tributes (Nachmansohn, 1950) paid to him in 1950 were published in Metabolism and Function. Comparable tributes are now being given to Dr. Fischer upon his retirement.

Problems In The Insulin Dependent Diabetic, Clay T. Gardner Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is often useful for the physician to classify diabetes as stable or unstable. Maturity-onset diabetes is usually stable, and its management is not difficult, provided the patient is interested and cooperative. Tendency to obesity, relative insensitivity to insulin, and absence of ketosis are characteristic of such patients. Relative insensitivity to insulin does not imply unresponsiveness, but rather that the blood sugar is not overly labile and does not fall sharply in response to exercise or injected insulin. Many patients with such insensitivity to insulin are adequately managed on diet, alone or in combination with the oral hypoglycemic agents. When …

Rate Of Diffusion Of Radioactive Ions In Gels, Thomas C. Smith, Addison D. Campbell, Ernst G. Huf

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A simple gel-to-gel method is described for the estimation of diffusion coefficients (D) of radio-isotopic chemicals. "Cold" and "hot" gel cylinders, enclosed in small hypodermic syringes with their needle ends cut off, were carefully joined together, and diffusion was allowed to proceed for several hours. Slices of gels were then obtained for counting of activities. Application of the classical theory of diffusion permitted calculations of D values.

Inappropriate Antidiuresis: Examples Of An Hyponatremic Syndrome Resembling Exogenous Vasopressin Administration In Man, Eugene L. Klingler, Joseph H. Magee, John D. Bower, Richard H. Kirkland, Ruben G. Lancestremere

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

We have reviewed some of the features of hyponatremic syndromes, unassociated with sodium retention and edema, but associated with primary water retention. The syndromes were probably caused by excessive vasopressin activity, in the presence of normal circulatory, renal and adreno-cortical function. Underlying diseases, including bronchogenic carcinoma, head injury, and tuberculous meningitis, illustrated the diverse etiologic bases of this condition.

Ambulatory Services In Teaching Hospitals, Gabriel Hilkovitz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The outpatient clinics and emergency rooms of metropolitan teaching hospitals have been criticized severely in recent years for providing poor patient care. In most teaching hospitals the ratio between outpatients and inpatients is three to one; therefore, if the critics are right, 75% of the patients who obtain medical care at the teaching hospital, are not getting the best that medicine has to offer today.

Applications Of Computers To Medicine, Edward N. Brandt Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The purpose of this paper is to present an over-view of current applications of computers to problems in medicine and not to discuss any specific application in detail. This discussion will be concerned only with digital computers. The modern digital computer is not very old. As a matter of fact, digital computers as we know them date from approximately 1949. Yet in this short span of time they have contributed to almost every sphere of man's activities. Computers have been applied to medical problems since about 1956, and have played an important role in increasing both the depth and breadth …

Reversible And Irreversible Effects Of Densely Ionizing Radiations Upon The Reproductive Capacity Of Cultured Human Cells, Paul Todd

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Some aspects of the radiosensitivity of single human cells have been examined in vitro. So far, all factors which tend to modify sensitivity to x-radiation appear not to modify (or to modify less effectively) the effects upon single cells of high-dE/dx radiation. Whenever the hazards of heavily ionizing radiations are being evaluated, chronic exposure must be considered equivalent to acute exposure, and any attempts to modify the effects of densely ionizing radiations at the cellular level are probably useless. In the case of cultured human cells, the RBE is dependent upon the endpoint because of the differently-shaped survival curves. Thus, …

On The Nature Of The Resting Frog Skin Potential, Priscilla M. Winn, Nancy S. Laprade, William R. Tolbert, Ernst G. Huf

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this paper some of the highlights of research on the nature of the resting frog skin potential have been presented. Reviewing a period of about 30 years, it was the intention to show that several key problems have been recognized by a number of investigators who, through their experimental work, have tried to find unequivocal solutions to such problems as follows: a) The number and location of electrogenic layers (barriers) within the rather complex epidermis. b) The characterization of these barriers in terms of specific permeability properties. c) The electrical response of the two sides of the skin to …
