Sex Determination By Cephalometry And Odontometry, Clair R. Hopkins Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Plaster casts of teeth and lateral cephalometric roentgenograms were studied to see with what degree of accuracy sex could be determined. The sample considered was made up of one hundred and forth-four individuals--50 males and 94 females--being treated in the Graduate Orthodontic Department of the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. The age range for the boys was from 15 to 19 and for the girls, from 14 to 20. Data was obtained for the following variables from tracings of the roentgenograms and from the dental casts:

1. Glabello-occipital length
2. Articulate to nasion
3. The gonial angle of the mandible
4. Prosthion to …

An Evaluation Of The Alumina Extraction Procedure For Determination Of Plasma Catecholamine Levels And A Study Of Plasma Binding Of Catecholamines, Greta Toni Swart

Master's Essays (1922 - )

The most commonly used method for the chemical analyses of the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine present in biological tissues and blood plasma is the tri-hydroxy indole technique initially developed by Lund. Throughout the literature, great variation is reported in the ability to recover epinephrine and norepinephrine from plasma by adsorbing the amines onto aluminum oxide (alumina). The most frequently reported average value for such recovery is 75 percent for an alumina column procedure similar to that used in this laboratory.

Pathogenesis Of Hepatic Encephalopathy, Z. Reno Vlahcevic

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Severe parenchymatous diseases of the liver, both acute and chronic, are frequently associated with hepatic encephalopathy. This term is preferable to that of hepatic coma, as it encompasses the whole spectrum of changes from bizarre alterations of behavior to various degrees of disturbance of consciousness, as well as protean neurologic manifestations. In many instances it is a reversible phenomenon, occurring either spontaneously or as the result of various therapeutic agents. The puzzling feature of hepatic encephalopathy is the discrepancy between dramatic clinical features and paucity of histopathological changes in the brain. The only histological changes encountered with regularity in patients …

Potential Applications Of Lasers In Ophthalmology, Walter J. Geeraets

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The continuing evaluation of laser instrumentation is of particular interest to the ophthalmologist. Several lasers now exhibit potential properties which may result in superior clinical instruments in the future. An important feature of almost all existing lasers, as related to ophthalmology, is the potential hazard of accidental exposure of the eye. This aspect of the laser is certainly as important as its clinical application, and it should be the responsibility of ophthalmologists to work actively to provide recommendations for safety standards and criteria for ocular protection in every field of laser application.

Present-Day Psychiatry, Henry D. Lederer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

As part of the excitement and challenge of our times, psychiatry shares with the rest of human activity a soul-searching, candid questioning of principles and practices and a responsibility for developing new perspectives and patterns of action. During these times when there seems to be a strong swing toward conformity and stereotypy in our society, there is also an intense counteraction—especially in those under 30—of questioning all tradition, respecting no sacred cows. These phenomena lead to heated debates, voices raised in anger, and hot letters to editors; but, through all of the dust raised, I believe we can see encouraging …

Recent Advances In Pediatric Allergy, F. Stanford Massie

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Evidence has been presented to indicate that atopic disease is not limited to man but occurs in subhuman primates. The genetic transmission of allergy may relate to altered membrane permeability or an enzymatic defect, with inability to handle certain N-glycosidic protein-sugar linkages occurring in the atopens of nature. The suggestion that an infectious agent transmits allergic disease has been examined. Finally, in vitro and animal experimental models of anaphylaxis closely akin to atopy and the effects of manipulation of the autonomic nervous system in laboratory animals and man have been discussed.

Some Issues In Human Development, Victor C. Vaughan Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, then, there are deeply rooted biological forces upon which we draw unwittingly for attitudes and behavior. There are pressing problems before us, ranging from war and slum riots to the misery and hopelessness of hundreds of thousands of infants and children leading empty and desperate lives in an unproductive way without society ever noticing that something preventable and irrevocable is happening. All of us, as citizens devoted to the healthiest kind of childhood and adulthood for our children, know that this represents an appalling tragedy for the individual. Multiplied by the hundreds of millions, it may represent a …

Hematopoietic Colony Forming Cells Of Spleen, Y. Maruyama, J. G. Eichten

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

It was found that isologous spleen cells injected into heavily irradiated recipients produced spleen nodules. The number of nodules or colony-farming-units (CFU) varied with cell dose, and were presumably clonal descendants of a single progenitor cell. The properties of the spleen and bone marrow CFU were compared and it was found that although present in greatly differing concentration, the radiation response and morphological features were similar.

A Psychiatrist Listens To Dental Complaints, Henry D. Lederer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

When your chairman invited me to meet with you to discuss some issues connecting psychiatry and dentistry, my immediate response was both intense and almost reflexive. I experienced an immediate strong uneasiness and desire to avoid facing you. This reaction impressed me as being neither rational nor appropriate, since my more sensible side could see good reasons for an exchange of views between dentists and psychiatrists. Therefore, as is the custom of most of us working in psychiatry, I tried to examine my own reaction, and in doing so came upon thoughts and feelings which indicated that I do not …

Lasting Biological Effects Of Early Influences, René Dubos

In conclusion: The environment does more than affect our well-being in the here and now. It molds the young, physically and mentally, and thereby determines almost irreversibly their future and the evolution of society.

A Brief History Of The Taxonomy Of Mammals, Jack D. Burke

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The mammals are an ancient division of the animal kingdom. They probably developed from reptile-like creatures in the early Triassic period, about 200 million years ago. Ever since then they have been changing to meet different and varying conditions of climate, enemies, and many other factors. Of the more than one million animals known in the entire animal kingdom, the 4,000 or so species of mammals represent a small minority.

The Ambient Air, Edith Iglauer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Dogs, rats, mice, guinea pigs, donkeys, men, women, and children--a whole world breathing, and nobody knows exactly what we are breathing or exactly how it affects us. Dr. Robert Horton, an epidemiologist who was formerly a professor at the University of Michigan and now presides, from a desk in Cincinnati, over the government's Health Effects Research Program, spent several hours discussing the progress of air-pollution research with a caller not long ago, and then, in a matter-of-fact voice, said, "The British reduced cholera and typhoid in the nineteenth century before they knew bacteria existed, and we may have to regulate …

Histamine And A Possible Unity Of Autonomous Microcirculatory Dilator Responses: Histamine And Autonomous Dilation, Richard W. Schayer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In this paper I will try to show how the proposed intrinsic dilator mechanism may, with due allowance for a variety of modifying factors, underlie the dilator phases of reactive hyperemia, post-exercise hyperemia, hyperemia due to local warmth, autoregulation, vasomotion, inflammation, and shock. These ideas are based on histamine studies (Schayer, 1962, 1963, 1966). However since there is much misunderstanding about histamine, and since the theory can be largely developed without need to identify the dilator, this paper will be presented in two parts. First, interpretation of the above phenomena in terms of intrinsic dilator mechanism will be attempted. Second, …

Taxonomic Review : Miridae Of The Nevada Test Site And The Western United States, Harry H. Knight

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Approximately 5,000 specimens of plant bugs were collected at the Nevada Test Site between 1959 and 1965. Greatest emphasis was given to collecting from June 10–24, 1965, when the desert areas at the test site were unusually profuse with blooming vegetation. A total of 160 species representing 50 genera was taken at the test site. Of these, 7 genera and 96 species are new to science.

Comparative data for these and additional species from other parts of western North America are also included. These represent an additional 449 species, of which 5 genera and 148 species are new to science. …
