Patterns Of Prehistoric Epidemiology And Human Paleopathology, Mahmoud Y. El-Najjar

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Human paleopathologists are interested in the visible marks of diagnosable disease that reflect various aspects of human biocultural interaction. Whether infectious, nutritional, or a combination of both, pathological characteristics in the dry bone provide some insight into the health of past human populations. Paleoepidemiology and human paleopathology are important parts of ecology in that they deal directly with a major aspect of man's relationship to his environment. The significance of this relationship has, to a large extent, been neglected by human skeletal biologists. The purpose of this study is to examine one of the most important aspects of human biocultural …

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.

Taste-Masking: Function Of Exaggerated Prandial Drinking In Desalivate Mice, Richard C. Lewis

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Taste thresholds for the bitter compound sucrose octaacetate (SOA) were elevated by desalivation in mice. Thresholds were determined for control and experimental animals both before and after ligation of all salivary ducts. There was a significant increase in SOA thresholds in the desalivate mice, and the pre- to post-operative differences in threshold between the control and experimental groups were significant. The altered response to SOA by desalivate mice is shown to be due to the assumption of a prandial pattern of drinking as a result of desalivation. This conclusion is based on experiments with wet mash which failed to show …

Porotic Hyperostosis In The Eastern Mediterranean, J. Lawrence Angel

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Porotic hyperostosis is bone expansion caused by hypertrophy of blood-forming marrow. It usually affects the skull diploë in adults and the long bones, face, skull vault, and sometimes the trunk in children, often with some thinning and porosity in the cortex and even the formation of a double cortex (bone-in-bone) in severe infections. Excess formation of red cells in hematogenous marrow can come from sicklemia or thalassemia (especially in the homozygous form), from other hemolytic anemias including unusual blood defects like spherocytosis, and from iron deficiency anemia. Presumably hookworm, amebiasis and other dysenteries, endemic malaria, and even high-altitude anoxia can …

Paleoepidemiology Of Infectious Disease In The Dickson Mounds Population, John Lallo, George J. Armelagos, Jerome C. Rose

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The major focus of paleopathology has been the delimiting of disease in time and space. Information about the history of specific diseases is the objective of many of these studies. While the chronological and geographical dimensions of paleopathology contribute significantly to our knowledge of disease, there are limits to this approach, which often fails to consider the interaction of biology and culture in the disease of prehistoric populations.

Adenocarcinoma Of The Prostate: The Rationale And Role For Radiotherapy In Its Management, Tapan A. Hazra

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Until recently the treatment of carcinoma of the prostate was limited either to radical prostatectomy by the perineal or retropubic route, or to hormonal manipulation. Approximately 5% of all patients with this disease are suitable candidates for radical surgery. Hormonal manipulation is palliative in nature and is generally used when there is evidence of metastatic disease (in about 50% of patients). There thus remains a group of patients (40% to 45%) in whom the disease is localized, yet too extensive for surgical treatment, for whom definitive radiotherapy can play a major role.

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 …

Outcome Evaluation Of Medical Care Utilizing Goal Attainment Scaling, Bonnie G. Little

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose for this study was to develop guidelines for the implementation of Goal Attainment Sealing (a mental health measurement technique) in the medical care setting. As a graduate student of social work, I have become involved in the delivery of medical care and am interested in the dynamics of psycho-social variables as they affect the structure, delivery, and outcome of medical services.

The Relationship Of Weight Loss To Self Concept In The Mentally Retarded Adult, Pauline Bunting Wall

Dissertations and Theses

The major part of this study was a treatment program designed to motivate mentally retarded adults to lose weight within a small group setting. Subjects were tested pre- and posttreatment on the Tennessee Self Concept Scale to ascertain any improvement in self-esteem. A 50-question diet quiz was constructed by the experimenters and administered pre- and posttreatment to find out if the subjects would improve their knowledge of health and nutrition through the study.
