Holistic Health: An Approach To Healing As It Relates To Cancer Counseling, Lorraine Miller

Theses

This thesis explores the holistic health approach as it relates to cancer counseling, emphasizing the integration of mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. Holistic health views illness, particularly cancer, as a psychosomatic condition where both physical and emotional factors play crucial roles. The paper investigates the relationship between psychological stress, emotional states, and cancer development, suggesting that healing requires addressing not just the physical symptoms but the underlying emotional and psychological causes.

The study delves into various therapeutic techniques, including biofeedback, meditation, family therapy, autogenic training, and acupuncture, all of which promote self-awareness and self-healing. It highlights how …

Kinetic And Binding Studies On L-∝-Glycerophosphate Dehydrogenase, Paul Richard Rosevear

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

The properties of the coenzyme, NAD, binding site of chicken muscle L-∝-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase were studied. Adenosine monophosphate, adenosine diphosphate and adenosine diphosphoribose were sha.vn to inhibit the enzyme competitively with respect to NAD. The presence of adenosine, pyrophosphate and ribose regions in the coenzyme binding site of the enzyme was suggested by the inhibitor constants obtained for these compounds.

Disodium monoalkyl phosphates, n-butyl to n-dodecyl phosphate, inclusive, were also shown to inhibit the L-∝-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase catalized reaction competitively with respect to NAD. A positive chain length effect was observed in the binding of these compounds to the enzyme, suggesting the …

Productivity Of The Roll-Streak Method To Perform Anaerobic Bacteriology In The Routine Clinical Laboratory, Thomas R. Neblett

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Data presented are derived from one year of performing routine clinical anaerobic bacteriology by the roll-streak tube method. 826 specimens from 1508 (54.8%) contained anaerobes. 162 specimens were polymicrobic (19.6%) and contained 528 strains of a total of 1051 isolated (50.2 %). 479 blood specimens contained 525 strains of anaerobes. Propionibacterium, considered a contaminant, occurred 209/210 times in blood as the sole isolate. Bacteroides occurred alone or polymicrobically 308 times and comprised 54.7% of the blood isolates and 32.5% of the total anaerobic genera isolated. Clostridium, Peptococcus and Fusobacterium were the next most frequently occurring anaerobes. The roll-streak method is …

Gingival Condition In Areas Of Minimal And Appreciable Widths Of Keratinized Gingiva, Myles C. Miyasato

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This investigation evaluated the gingival condition of areas with minimal (less than or equal to 1.0 millimeter) and appreciable (greater than or equal to 2.0 millimeters) widths of keratinized gingiva.

Sixteen dental, dental hygiene, and dental assisting students and dental faculty who had contralateral or unilateral areas of minimal and appreciable widths of keratinized gingiva on the mid-buccal surface of mandibular bicuspids were examined. Gingival exudate, plaque, gingival inflammation based on color change and/or swelling and bleeding on probing were evaluated. The results showed that all areas examined were plaque free. Three of 32 areas showed clinical gingival inflammation and …

Hallucinogens: A Cause Of Convulsive Ergot Psychoses, Sylvia Dahl Winters

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Ergotism with vasoconstriction and gangrene has been reported through the centuries. Less well publicized are the cases of psychoses associated with convulsive ergotism. Lysergic acid amide a powerful hallucinogen having one.-tenth the hallucinogenic activity of LSD-25 is produced by natural sources. This article attempts to show that convulsive ergot psychoses are mixed psychoses caused by lysergic acid amide or similar hallucinogens combined with nervous system lesions secondary to vasoconstrictive effects of ergotoxine.

Systematic Nursing Management Of University Students With Infectious Mononucleosis, Lillian N. Yelton

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Infectious Mononucleosis has been one of the most misdiagnosed entities in medicine. Its ability to mimic other diseases and the abundance of misconceptions about it have long confused both diagnosis and treatment. Since there is still no specific drug to combat this disease. patients with characteristic symptoms are treated symptomatically for the period of extended convalescence. This study was carried out to explore the possible effects of systematic nursing management on Infectious Mononucleosis patients, in order to evaluate those things that significantly influence the patient’s course of illness and recovery, in a university outpatient health service.

The hypothesis formulated was: …

Effects Of Cariogenic And Noncariogenic Diets On The Concentration Of The Parotid Hormone Releasing Factor In Rat Hypothalami, Melva Joan Brown

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Hypothalamic and cortical extracts from various cariogenically grouped rats which had been maintained on either a Purina diet or a high sucrose diet (HSD) for three months were infused intravenously into 28 days old rats to determine if there was a titer of parotid hormone releasing factor (PRF) capable of facilitating fluid movement (FM) in the teeth. The hypothalamic and cortical extracts obtained from Purina-fed rats with 0-caries and the hypothalamic extracts from BSD-fed rats conclusively demonstrated FM stimulatory ability. Other Purina-fed groups were essentially biologically ineffective, however, extracts from HSD-fed caries groups including scores 11-40 demonstrated extremely potent FM …

The Nonenzymatic Browning Reaction Of Whole Wheat Bread, Lily S. Wilson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Forty-eight weanling male Sprague-Dawley laboratory white rats were fed diets composed of whole wheat bread which was made with one of the three sweeteners studied and added before or after baking and adequate vitamins and minerals for the animals' needs. The rats were divided into six groups, designated A through F. Groups A, C, and E were fed bread diets that had the sweeteners honey, corn syrup, and white table sugar added respectively before baking, while Groups B, D, and F were fed bread diets with the sweeteners honey, corn syrup, and white table sugar added respectively after baking.

An Examination Of "Right To Treatment" Standards: Mental Health Policy Within The Context Of The State Hospital System, Kathryn Glass

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper discusses the use of court-imposed standards for public mental hospitals as a method of improving public mental health services. The standards set out in Wyatt v. Stickney are examined, and the author concludes that if implemented nationally such standards would transform the public hospitals. In addition, implementation would alter the power structure of mental health workers, effect the allocation of state and federal funds, and influence the larger system of mental health services. Socio-economic characteristics of public mental hospital patients, and an assessment of present care in this system are presented as central issues in mental health policy …

Effects Of Fluoride Availability On Fluoride Content Of Deciduous Teeth Of Children And Bone Measurements Of The Mothers In Some Utah Communities, Monika Margareta Lowgren

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The relationship between the fluoride content of the enamel and dentine of deciduous teeth and the number of tooth lesions/mouth was compared to fluoride treatment in Logan, Brigham City, Helper and Milford, Utah. Bone measurement data was obtained on the second metacarpal bones of the mothers of the participating children from the same communities except Brigham City.

The fluoride treatment in the communities were as follows: Logan has no fluoride added to the domestic water supply but some children received fluoride treatment through tablets, drops, etc. Milford has water which naturally contains 0.8 ppm fluoride, Helper and Brigham City have …

Causes Of Obesity, Barbara Brown

Honors Theses

The preoccupation with obesity finds expression in the popularity of books and articles dealing with dieting and weight control, the rapid growth of weight reduction groups such as Tops and Weight Watchers, as well as the full marketing of numerous low calorie and dietetic foods. Much of the interest in weight control is a consequence of the current standards of physical beauty in our society. But another more pressing reason for interest in weight control is the documented evidence relating obesity to various somatic disorders.

Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoretic Studies Demonstrating Cytoplasmic Protein Components Unique To The Mycelial Phase And To The Yeast Phase Of Candida Albicans, Theresa Catherine Burgess

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

Blastospore and mycelial cytoplasmic extracts from four strains of Candida albicans, varying in virulence, were compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis Cytoplasmic extracts were made by disrupting the cultures in a Braun homogenizer followed by ultracentrifugation. The supernatant fractions were then resolved on polyacrylamide gels containing SDS. Each of the preparations yielded a distinct pattern. There were mycelial specific and blastospore specific protein bands. There were more components resolved from the blastospore phase cytoplasmic extracts than from the mycelial phase cytoplasmic extracts. There were bands common to both phases. These results demonstrate protein components unique …

Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatic Duct Cannulation (Erpc): An Aid To Pancreatic Surgery, C. Grodsinsky, B. Schuman, B. E. Brush

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Retrograde endoscopic pancreatic duct cannulation for evaluation of patients with chronic pancreatitis is reviewed over the last two years. Of 40 patients that were endoscoped, 30 had a successful pancreatogram. The X-ray findings fell into three groups: 1) single and multiple stenosis, 2) diffuse narrowing, and 3) apparently normal duct. This procedure proved of value in ruling out or delaying surgical operation in 10 persons. Twenty-one patients underwent operations. Thirteen had a 95% pancreatectomy, one had drainage of a necrotic collection thought to be a pseudocyst and one had a pseudocyst resected. One had a gastrojejunostomy and vagotomy bypassing a …

Chemicals And Food: An Account About Additives, Wayland E. Noland

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Food additives are listed by functional category and discussed in terms of the scale of their use and relative risks in terms of long-term human toxicity. The greatest risks appear to lie with the antimicrobial preservative agents, and food colors (which serve only a cosmetic purpose); these and the synthetic sweeteners are discussed in relatively greater detail.

Oral Manifestations Of Cutaneous Disease, James W. Patterson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The list of diseases which manifest both oral and cutaneous pathology is extensive and consideration of them all is beyond the scope of a single brief report. Nevertheless it may be useful to summarize the findings of those disease in which both oral and cutaneous lesions are, or can be, significant. Recognition of the one can be a clue to the identity of the other, and evaluation of both skin and mucosa may often provide the first evidence of systemic disease.
