Stability, Packaging, Storage, And Sterilization Of A Medicated Dry Foam, Armen Gostanian

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The basic unmedicated formula consists of dextran, sorbitol, Miranol 2 MCA Modified, and water. The major advantages of the film are 1) fast release rates, 2) ease of application to denuded skin without aggravation, and 3) lack of necessity for removal, hence no aggravation. However, it is extremely sensitive to moisture and elevated temperatures which is a major disadvantage. Excessive humidity will solubilize the film or make it too tacky to handle while very low humidity causes the film to lose its flexibility. Also, elevated temperatures remove moisture from the film and cause it to lose flexibility much as with …

Sclerosing Cholangitis: Surgical Significance, C. Grodsinsky, M. A. Block, B. E. Brush

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The authors' experience with the rare entity of sclerosing cholangitis suggests that several anatomical patterns of involvement of the extrahepatic biliary tract may occur. The involvement may include the intraluminal ducts segmentally or diffusely, or the process may primarily be external to the ducts as pericholedochitis. It may or may not represent one component of a systemic disease, particulady autoimmune disease. Although involvement may be diffuse, progression may be slow and compatible with many years of life. Long time followup is essential before any value can be assigned to a given modality of treatment. Carcinoma of the ductal system may …

Left Atrial Myxoma With An Atrial Septal Defect: Report Of A Case, Daniel T. Anbe, Edward Arciniegas, Henry Green, Ellet H. Drake

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A case of a left atrial myxoma presented unusual features including (1) association with an atrial septal defect, (2) attachment of the myxoma to the posterior wall of the left atrium, (3) probable paradoxical pulmonary embolization from the left atrium, and (4) probable ball valve effect of the myxoma in the atrial septal defect.

A Study Of Naturally Occurring Algicides Produced By Freshwater Algae, Denny O. Harris, Harry D. Caldwell

KWRRI Research Reports

The mode of action of the algicide produced by Pandorina morum was examined by exposing Volvox globator and isolates spinach chloroplasts to a partially purified algicide preparation. Oxygen evolution of Volvox, whole chloroplasts and broken chloroplasts (minus the Calvin cycle),was reduced indicating that the algicide inhibits the light reactions of photosynthesis. Oxygen evolution studies of other Volvocaceae confirmed the observation that Pandorina morum is not significantly influenced by its own inhibitor. Molecular weight approximation by gel filtration established that the inhibitor has a low molecular weight (probably below 100 mw). Field studies indicate that this algicide has tremendous potential as …

An Investigation Of Tympanometric Measurements On An Older Adult Population, Marguerite Ann Fine

Dissertations and Theses

Prior to this investigation, there appeared to be no published research data available on tympanometric configurations obtained from an older adult population. This study was designed to examine tympanograms obtained from an otologically normal, elderly population. Forty individuals, ranging in age from 59 to 83 years, participated in this study. All had a negative history of middle ear pathology and had normal tympanic membranes as determined by otologic examination. From the eighty ears tested, fifty were used in this survey. Conductance and susceptance at 220 and 660 Hz were obtained at each ear and ranges for admittance were computed from …

Metabolic Capabilities Of Sulfur Oxidizing Bacteria And Their Role In Water Pollution, M. I. H. Aleem

KWRRI Research Reports

This report describes investigations into the physiology of microorganisms that are commonly involved in the oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds. The metabolic activities of these bacteria play a potent role in several fields of economic importance such as strip mining operations, water pollution, corrosion, metallurgy, petroleum technology and soil fertility processes.

The oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds was studied in the chemolithotrophs Thiobacillus denitrificans, Thiobacillus A₂, Thiobacillus neapolitanus, and a photolithotroph Rhodopseudomonas palustris. Cell suspensions from all of the thiobacilli catalyzed completely the oxidation of sulfide, thiosulfate, and sulfite to sulfate. The oxidation of thiosulfate in R. palustris …

Prenatal Instruction Of Breast Feeding Mothers, Anita Berry

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This experimental study tested the effect of prenatal instruction on the success of a group of mothers who desired to breast feed their infants. It was hypothesized that mothers receiving information on how to nurse their infants, how to prevent complications and how to cope with common problems of breast feeding would have a higher success rate than those not so instructed.

Criteria for success was that the mothers would have an adequate supply of milk to meet the nutritional demands of their infant without supplementation, would have fewer and less severe complications, and would express a higher degree of …

Concerns Of Postnatal Mothers About Sexuality, Sheela A. Gideon

The present investigation was undertaken to collect normative data on a teenage population and a young adult population in order to assess tongue sensitivity regarding the identification of various geometric shapes. The research, was conducted to answer the following questions:

1. Is there a significant difference between a teenage group and a young adult group regarding lingual discrimination?

2. What is the range and variability between and within the two groups?

3. Is the teenage group significantly better than the elementary school age group previously tested by Weiss (1973b)?

There were 50 normal-speaking subjects in the teenage group ranging in …

The Great Potato Debate, James D. Hudson

Honors Theses

Anencephaly and spina bifida cystica are two of the most common severe congenital malformations consistently observed in human populations. Both represent defects in the neural tube and share a significant number of similar epidemiological associations among them, occupational class, geography, sex ratio, maternal age, year and season of the year. In anencephaly most of the brain and upper skull never form usually resulting in death within a few hours of birth. Spina bifida cystica is a malformation of the spinal cord often causing paralysis, vulnerability to infection, and early death. In 1972, Dr. J.H. Renwick presented a controversial hypothesis which …

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension - Disease Or Symptom? A Retrospective Reclassification Of 33 Cases, D. S. Dasgupta, Ellet H. Drake

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The hypertension which follows an intrinsic increase in pulmonary vascular resistance may be easily diagnosed by utilizing current catheterization and radiologic techniques. The real challenge is establishing a rational etiology in a given case before final pathological examination. Data from 33 proven cases are presented in an attempt to show that most ofthe proposed etiologic concepts may be represented in a large clinical series. Congenital and familial factors, multiple pulmonary embolization with resulting vasospastic sequela, arteritis, and degenerative states, were encountered, together with such specific clinical entities as scleroderma and systemic lupus erythematosus. Because the term "Primary Pulmonary Hypertension" implies …

Malignant Intrathoracic Hurthle-Cell Tumor: Report Of A Case With 12-Year Survival Following Three Palliative Operations, Conrad R. Lam

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A 55-year-old man had a large superior mediastinal tumor producing obstructive symptoms. The tumor was removed through an upper median sternotomy incision. It was found to be composed of so-called Hurthle-cells, which are of thyroid origin, and the pathologist's interpretation was that it was of low grade malignancy. A pulmonary metastatic nodule was excised five years later, and 8 1/2 years after the original operation, a nodule was removed from a pectoral muscle. The patient lived 12 years and then expired with multiple metastases, but he was relatively asymptomatic until the last few months.

The Deoxythymidine Kinase-Deoxythymidylate Kinase Enzymes In Salmonella Potsdam And Escherichia Coli K12 Infected With Bacteriophage P3, James D. Kettering

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Metabolic alterations in bacterial hosts caused by virus infections have been studied for the last thirty years. The virulent T-even bacteriophages have been studied the most and have been shown to be responsible for the induction of a number of new, virus-specific enzymes that are necessary for successful phage growth. In addition, the activity of other host enzymes present prior to infection has been found to be increased by T-even infection. Temperate bacteriophages, being more difficult to work with than the virulent viruses, have not been studied as extensively. This is especially true for metabolic studies, since most temperate phage …

The Lasting Antimicrobial Qualities Of Three Root Canal Sealing Materials : Grossman's Sealer, Rickert's Sealer, And N2 Permanent, Lee R. Ingersoll

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

An in vitro study using polyethylene tubes filled with Grossman's sealer, Rickert's sealer, and N2 permanent was conducted over a six month period in an effort to determine their lasting antimicrobial properties against eight different microorganisms.

From the study it was observed that N2 permanent possesses a long-lasting antimicrobial effect, but this effect appears to diminish greatly with time. Further investigation is needed to determine whether or not the effect is actually permanent in nature. The N2 permanent was also shown to have broader antimicrobial effectiveness against the eight microorganisms tested. N2 permanent produced zones of inhibition against five of …

A Review Of Some Aspects Of L-Forms And Gonococci, Charles L. Cooke, Bernard Germain, Bonnie Balducci, Harry P. Dalton

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Systemic manifestations of gonococcal disease, such as arthritis, are often sterile on the usual culture methods used to grow gonococci. Allergic mechanisms have been invoked to explain this but with little evidence to support the concept. With the report by Holmes et al., that L-forms of gonococci were isolated from joint fluid of a patient with gonococcal arthritis, we decided to investigate the possible role of L-forms in gonococcal disease.
