The Effects Of Chronic Anaerobic Infection On Atherosclerosis In Rabbits, Janet Smitheran Bissell

Theses and Dissertations

Arterial disease is virtually a universal entity in man. Some cultures, such as the African Bantus have very little in the way of vascular lesions, while in the United States and other industrialized nations atherosclerosis affects a large segment of the population. With this in mind it is not hard to understand why ischemia, or arteriosclerotic heart disease, is second only to cardiovascular diseases in general as the major cause of death in the United States (4, 42).

Ruffer (112) noted the presence of arterial lesions in Egyptian mummies dating back 3,400 years. The presence of atherosclerotic lesions has also …

The Uses Of Pins For Retention In Restorative Dentistry : An Independent Learning Program, Ali M. Asad

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Although pins have been used since the 1800's for retention of dental restorations, their widespread use had been limited because supporting techniques such as impression, die materials, better handpieces and drills have only been perfected in the last two decades.

The pin technique allows for greater retention of restorative materials which otherwise might require considerable reduction of sound tooth substance; this is particularly paramount when insufficient coronal tooth structure is present. Also, the placing of pins in divergent directions gives excellent retention. Pin-retained castings reduce the need for deep cavity preparation in some cases.

Pins are useful in stabilizing hypermobile …

The Bacteriology Of The Biliary Tract: A Preliminary Report., J. A. Sapala, J. L. Ponka, T. R. Neblett

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The bacterial flora of acute biliary tract disease has not been completely elucidated. The organisms identified most often were coliforms. Anaerobic culture technics were not precise enough to provide proper identification. In a 12-month study of 250 patients operated upon for inflammatory gallbladder disease, culture specimens were collected in a most strict and rigorous fashion. It was hoped that a more exact understanding of the relationship between bacteria and inflammatory biliary tract disease might be appreciated. Important technics were developed for gathering specimens, delivery to the laboratory and culturing. More meaningful results are to be expected In the future.

A Descriptive Study Of Women's Attitudes Towards Obtaining Or Not Obtaining Papanicolaou Smears, Linda J. Shults

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

It was the purpose of this study to identify the attitudes of a selected group of women which influenced their participation in Papanicolaou testing. These attitudes were inferred from the reasons women gave for obtaining the test. The subjects were randomly selected from the telephone book of a medium-sized town in Southern California. The 135 women who participated in the telephone interview were considered to be the respondents in the study.

A review of the literature revealed that through the annual use of the Papanicolaou smear, approximately 11,000 deaths every year from uterine and cervical cancer could be prevented, Attitudes …

The Effect Of Chlorhexidine Or Oxytetracycline Irrigation On The Subgingival Microbiota, George M. Whitehead

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Inflammation of the connective tissue adjacent to the periodontal pocket may depend on the continuous presence of bacteria. Following periodontal treatment, subgingival plaque accumulation may interfere with healing. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of irrigation with chlorhexidine or oxytetracycline on the cultivable bacteria in standardized chronic periodontal pockets in dogs. Chronic periodontal pockets were irrigated with either 5 ml. of 2 percent chlorhexidine or 250 mg. of oxytetracycline in 5 ml. distilled water. The pockets were irrigated dally for two days and were sampled on the first, fourth, seventh, fourteeth, twenty-first, thirty-fifth and forty-second days …

Stressful Life Events And Coping Methods In Mental-Illness And Wellness Behaviors, Janice M. Bell

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A descriptive-comparative study was done to examine the relationship between stressful life events and mental-illness and wellness behaviors, and the coping methods used by individuals exhibiting each behavior.

Data collection included the use of the Social Readjustment Rating Scale and a coping scale administered to the experimental and control samples. The experimental group consisted of thirty psychiatric in-patients of three general hospitals who were oriented in three spheres. Subjects of the control group had no history of psychiatric illness, were currently not receiving medical treatment, and were adequately functioning in a socially accepted role. They were randomly selected to match …

An Evaluation Of The Cytotoxicity Of Root Canal Filling Materials On Tissue Culture Cells In Vitro: Grossman's Sealer, N2 Permanent, Rickert's Sealer, And Cavit, Donald D. Antrim

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

An in vitro study using radioactively-labeled tissue culture cells was conducted over a seven-month period on Grossman's sealer, Rickert's sealer, N₂ Permanent, and Cavit to determine the lasting and relative tissue toxicity of these materials.

From this study it was observed that all materials possess lasting tissue toxicity. When relative toxicity is considered, Grossman's is the most toxic, followed by N₂, Rickert's and Cavit in descending order of toxicity. Both Grossman's and N₂ would be considered highly toxic, with Rickert's displaying moderate toxicity. Cavit would be considered mild to moderate in toxicity.

The use of radioactively-labeled …
