Spectrophotometric And Microbiological Determination Of The Stability Of Sodium Ampicillin As Affected By Ph, Enrico Frank Raffanti

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The specific purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of pH on the stability of ampicillin sodium for injection. Then, to correlate this information, a pH profile may be established to predict chemical stability with ampicillin sodium alone or when other drugs may be included in the admixture. With a pH profile the pharmacist could predict the length of time after which more than a 10 percent loss of activity would occur. Stability measurements were to be accomplished through a microbiological assay after adding ampicillin sodium to different buffer solutions. At the end of four hours, eight hours, …

The Formulation And Physical Analyses Of Antibiotic Aerosol Foams For The Development Of Potential Topical Dermatologicals, Joseph Alexander Woelfel

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Within the last two decades the consumer market has been deluged with a diversity of aerosol products. The acceptability and utility of these products is reflected by the number found in the household and industry.

An antibiotic foam would obviate the necessity of manual application as is the case with the ointment or cream type products. Therefore, there would be less irritation to the already traumatized or infected sites by mechanical, chemical, or bacterial vectors.

Thus, the objective of this research will be to systematically develop suitable aerosol foam systems which contain therapeutically effective topical antibiotics with a subsequent evaluation …

Local Control Of Pulmonary Resistance And Lung Compliance, Robert L. Coon

Dissertations (1934 -)

This study originated as a study of the effects of hypoxia and of various pharmacological agents on the pulmonary vasculature of the left lower lobe of the canine lung. Because the bronchomotor tone might also be affected, particularly by the pharmacological agents, it was decided as a secondary objective to also measure the effects of these agents on bronchomotor tone. It quickly became apparent that this was not as simple as it sounded. As no totally satisfactory method existed, a method of studying pulmonary mechanics in the left lower lobe in situ had to be developed. The effects of pump …

Dissecting Aneurysm Of The Aorta: Diagnosis, Treatment And Prognosis, Hahn J. Lee, Ellet H. Drake

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The records of 13 patients with proven dissecting aortic aneurysm were studied with particular attention to the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in each case. The three essential steps in reaching an early correct diagnosis included (1) history and physical examination, (2) serial chest x-rays and (3) aortography. Electrocardiogram and SCOT and LDH measurements seem to be of value only when incompatible with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Significant differences between Type 1 and Type 3 dissections were observed in their clinical manifestations, results of treatment and natural prognosis.

The Role Of D-Gluconic Acid In The Regulation Of The Synthesis Of The Enzymes Of The Entner-Doudoroff Pathway In Pseudomonas Fluorescens, Steven C. Quay

Honors Theses

Induction of Entner-Duodoroff pathway enzymes in Pseudomonas fluorescens was investigated to study the role of gluconate as a possible inducer. Glucose oxidase-deficient mutants were isolated and characterized. One of these mutants, gox-7, was deficient in particulate glucose oxidase; another mutant, gox-17, was deficient in particulate glucose and gluconate oxidase activities. Gluconate, but not glucose, induced synthesis of gluconokinase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase in both mutants. High constitute levels of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase were found when both mutants were grown on glucose. Growth of parent and both mutant strains on glycerol also resulted in high levels of Entner-Doudoroff pathway enzymes. It was concluded …

Diagnosis And Treatment Of Gonorrhea, Paul A. Kvale

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The various methods for diagnosis of gonorrhea are reviewed. Gram-stained smear of urethral exudate in the mate is appropriate, but for the female emphasis is placed on the use of culture on Thayer-Martin medium. Currently effective modalities of treatment are detailed, pointing out that higher doses of antibiotics are generally required for females with pelvic inflammatory disease than for males with acute gonococcal urethritis. The necessity for follow-up is also discussed.

A Comparison Of Various Teaching Methods For Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases, B. Carol Altizer, Nancy S. Bailey

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to find out whether patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (C.O.P.D.) learn more from auditory or from visual teaching. Of the 30 patients in the sample, 10 used a programmed instruction booklet, 10 used a taped recording of the same programmed material and 10 were in a control group which received no specific teaching.

A pre-test was given to each of the patients who met the criteria for the study. One researcher gave the pre-test through an oral interview with the patient. After the pre-test, the patient received the teaching device assigned to him …

Using A Participating Relationship To Improve Teen-Age Unwed Mother's Self-Esteem, Linda Gail Reeves

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The study was to provide an approach to help teen-age unwed mothers increase their feelings of self-esteem and thereby attain a conceptual buffer for better coping with life. Self-esteem was defined as individual perception of the worth of oneself relative to that of significant others. The hypothesis tested was that the participating relationship a community health nurse has with a teen-age unwed mother will significantly increase the mother's self-esteem as measured by statistical Q-Sort analysis.

A convenience sample of twenty teen-age unwed mothers was obtained from referrals from San Bernardino County Health, Welfare, and Probation Departments. The girls were between …

The Influence Of Various Energy Sources On Microbial Protein Synthesis From Biuret As Determined By Artificial Rumen Fermentation, Jenny Eggleston

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Barley, cornstarch, crested wheatgrass, glucose, molasses and solka floc were fermented with rumen fluid obtained from sheep that were adapted or unadapted to feed grade biuret (Kedlor) in their diet. Each rumen fluid and substrate combination was subjected to three nitrogen treatments: (1) control, (2) nitrogen added as feed grade biuret and (3) reagent grade biuret in a factoral arrangement of treatments. In vitro fermentations were terminated at 0, 12, 24, and 36 hours and the protein nitrogen insoluble in trichloroacetic acid (TCA) was determined.

Molasses and cornstarch fermentation residues increased while barley, crested wheatgrass, glucose and solka floc decreased …

Influence Of Temperature Of Incubation And Type Of Growth Medium On Pigmentation In Serratia Marcescens, Robert P. Williams, Cora L. Gott, S M. Qadri, Randolph H. Scott

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Maximal amounts of prodigiosin were synthesized in either minimal or complete medium after incubation of cultures at 27 C for 7 days. Biosynthesis of prodigiosin began earlier and the range of temperature for formation was greater in complete medium. No prodigiosin was formed in either medium when cultures were incubated at 38 C; however, after a shift to 27 C, pigmentation ensued, provided the period of incubation at 38 C was not longer than 36 hr for minimal medium or 48 hr for complete medium. Washed, nonpigmented cells grown in either medium at 38 C for 72 hr could synthesize …

Life Styles Of Methadone Treatment Patients: Agreement Of Self Report And Informant Report, Richard Cox, Gary West

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this descriptive study was to reveal the typical life style of a representative sample of fifty male opiate addicts participating in the Oregon Methadone Treatment Program. An important goal of the research was to assess the reliability of information gathered from patients compared to data obtained from an equal number of informants. A highly structured questionnaire was designed to elicit specific responses in order to calculate the degree of concordance between patients and informants to identical items. The findings depicted the modal life style of the subjects as more socially conventional, more responsible, and less antisocial. Although …

Psychology Of Drug Abuse, John Buckman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The history of drug abuse is as long as history. While all drugs are being abused, this paper has attempted only to elucidate some of the psychological reasons why the western adolescent might be attracted to excessive drug use or experimentation. There has grown in the past 8 years a great interest in drugs which produce an altered state of consciousness. It is the opinion of this writer that the adolescent years may be the worst years to experiment with the strong hallucinogens like LSD, mescaline, or psilocybin. The adolescent is already under enormous pressure, both from within and without, …

Neoplasms Of The Internal Auditory Canal, James R. Leonard, Marion L. Talbot

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Histopathological studies of tumors of the temporal bone are scarce. The authors examined a relatively large number of sectioned human temporal bones in search of small asymptomatic acoustic neurilemmomata and have reported the findings (Leonard and Talbot, 1970). During that search, several other neoplasms were encountered in the internal auditory canal. This report presents a clinical and pathological review of these lesions.
