The Quantitative Determination Of 3-Oxo-Bile Acids, W. T. Beher, G. J. Lin, J. Sanfield, S. Stradnieks

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A new method for the rapid quantification of 3-oxo-bile acids has been developed. From 5 to 120 μg of oxo-acid in aqueous or ethanolic media are reduced with sodium borohydride. The resulting 3α- and 3β-hydroxy acids are then oxidized in a reaction catalyzed by 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, during which nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is reduced to NADH. The absorbance of the reaction mixture is determined at 340 nm and is directly proportional to the amount of 3-oxo-acid in the original sample. The method is fully compatible with that used in determining 3α-hydroxy-bile acids.

Evaluation Of An Abnormal Urinalysis In The Asymptomatic Patient, Douglas M. Landwehr

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Physicians are occasionally presented with the problem of evaluating a patient who has an abnormal urinalysis but who has no other sign or symptom of genitourinary (GU) tract disease. For example, patients may present with hematuria, pyuria or slight proteinuria, but they may have no other clinical or laboratory abnormality to suggest glomerulonephritis, renal failure, urinary tract infection, obstruction, hypertension, or stones. There are a wide variety of lesions which may produce such isolated abnormalities, and a rational approach is indispensable in preparing an efficient and definitive diagnostic plan.

Appropriate Antibiotic Therapy For Urinary Tract Infections, Sheldon M. Markowitz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It was stated years ago that physicians pour medicines about which they know little, for diseases about which they know less, into human beings about whom they know nothing. Although as a prophet this wag may have overstated the case as it concerns the therapy of urinary tract infections (UTI), the character of contemporary infectious diseases is, in part, due to the use and abuse of anti-infective agents. One has only to look at the rising incidence of gram-negative bacteremia and the emergence of multiple antibiotic-resistant organisms over the past several decades to appreciate the impact physicians have made with …

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.

Paleoepidemiology Of Degerative Joint Disease, Robert D. Jurmain

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In order to contribute significantly to the description and understanding of human disease, paleoepidemiology must first recognize requirements which epidemiologists have long considered essential: 1) that the populations sampled are relevant to a set of specific hypotheses concerning a particular set of diseases: 2) that an adequate sample is employed to accurately represent the whole population: and 3) that wherever possible, sex and age parameters are accurately controlled. Given a specific set of hypotheses worthy of being tested, paleoepidemiology can be used not only to describe the distribution of significant human diseases, but also to help untangle and explain their …

Nutrition Knowledge, Attitudes, And Practices Of Science, Home Economics, And Health Teachers In Secondary Schools In West Virginia, Jane Seaman Walaszczyk

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

The quality of nutrition education programs is seriously being considered today. Numerous concerns have led to the investigation of underlying problems associated with ineffective nutrition education programs. The need for a nutrition component to be integrated in all educational systems became apparent immediately following the 1969 National Nutrition Survey. West Virginia was one of ten states to be surveyed and results clearly indicated that the nutritional status of the individuals under consideration was less than adequate. Vitamins A and C and iron were low in many diets among various age groups (Schaefer, 1970). Thus it was recognized that nutrition education …

A Pilot Study Of A Sex Education Program In A Sheltered Workshop Using A Cognitive-Behavioral Model Based On Rational Emotive Therapy, Jacqueline A. Rieck, Thomas E. Frederick

Masters Theses

This pilot study was developed to teach people with mental retardation about their own sexuality, appropriate community behaviors, and to develop within them a basic sense of responsibility for their own actions. Problems in social/sexual behaviors have been consistently quoted as reasons for high recidivism rates, as well as difficulties in community living, vocational placement, and other generalized stereotypes about mental retardation. Often the public remains uninformed about, does not recognize, and/or feels that sexual rights for people with any mental differences should not exist. Additionally, when any form of sexuality was expressed by such people it resulted in shock …

A Content Analysis Of The Advertisements In Three Nursing Journals: What Are They Saying About The Aged?, Ann Temborius

Honors Projects

Ageism is not a new phenomenon. Aristotle himself wrote of the wonders and beauty of youth and stated his belief that after the age of fifty, man definitely 'declined. 'But never before has the emphasis on youth been so profound in our society. Youth is associated with worth, value and productivity; the aged individual is seen as having little to contribute to our fast-moving, technologically-exploding society.

Development Of A Subscale On A Social History Questionnaire To Detect Frequent Marijuana Users, David Lewis Salmond

Masters Theses

An increasing awareness of drug use has been indicated by many reports in the last fifteen years. These reports come from studies, workshops, books, and the news media. What is of particular importance in these reports are the statistics on marijuana use. It has spread at an alarming rate. By detecting these users, greater emphasis on counseling and rehabilitation of the individual can be implemented.

The experimenter used one hundred voluntary subjects from introductory psychology classes at a midwestern university ranging from 18-33 years of age. Twenty-seven males and seventy-three females of mixed racial backgrounds with a majority of white, …

A Method Of Detecting Viral Contamination In Parenteral Solutions., Joseph Alexander Woelfel

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The presence of contaminants in parenteral solutions is a constant nemesis against which pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as medical, pharmacy , and nursing practitioners mus t vigilantly struggle to provide quality health care. At each level in the parenteral drug delivery system, contamination is possible before the patient actually receives the infusion. The implementation of better practices and procedures continues in the quest of contaminant-free parenterals, nevertheless, the literature is replete with articles documenting contamination of parenteral medication.

Foreign body particulate matter has been found sequestered in the lungs of patients who have received intravenous therapy. The entrapment of foreign …

Studies On Uveitis Part I: Aqueous Studies, Philip C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Aqueous microbiological and cytological studies were performed on 134 anterior chamber taps done on 118 patients both with and without uveitis. Cell wall defective bacterial forms (CWDF) were recovered from about 40% of these aqueous specimens and classical bacteria were recovered from 12%. A statistically significant difference could not be found between the incidence of bacterial cell wall defective forms in the various anatomical types of uveitis. There were hints from this work that the presence of CWDF In the aqueous was more frequent in younger patients with uveitis, early in the uveitis attack, if there were multiple foci of …
