Evaluation Of The West African Diet Of Plant Origin, Aletha B. Fuller

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Africa is one of the areas of the world where proteincalorie malnutrition (PCM) of childhood is especially prevalent. A review of literature revealed causes and incidence of PCM in Africa, general pathological signs of PCM, and efforts in Africa to overcome PCM through protein supplementation. The effect of red pepper on the gastro-intestinal tract was also reviewed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate three indigenous West African foods--peanuts, black-eyed peas, and egusi seed—as protein supplements when added to the basic West African diet of plant origin. The protein supplements were chosen because they met the criteria of economy, …

Drugs: An Educational Challenge, Linda S. Culver

Honors Projects

Modern society has become "pill conscious" which has produced a society of drug takers and abusers.

Students . . . And Marijuana, Linda J. Behrins

Honors Projects

Perhaps one of the most controversial issues in our society today concerns the current use of hallucinogenic drugs by young people, including students. It may be relevant to ask why we are reacting so violently to the students use of drugs when there are four to eight million alcoholics in the country.

The Nurse-Midwife In The Midwest: A Study Of Factors That Affect Her Utilization, Gwen Marie Ohlendorf

Honors Projects

It is almost trite to refer to the stunning growth of our population and the related expansion of our economy. Not only are there many more Americans for whom health services are to be provided, but many of these fall into the category of the very young and old who require the greatest amount of medical services. The increasing rise in the levels of education and personal income have not only made people aware of what health services are available but also have resulted in their making effective demands for these services. Improved transportation, urbanization, private and governmental health insurance …

A Dissonance Approach To Persuasion, Robert Wayne Norton

Speech and Hearing Sciences ETDs

What moves is the essence of persuasion theory. Consequently, motivation theories interest the theorist examining persuasion theory. The theory of cognitive dissonance, in particular, suggests a meaningful approach to persuasion which offers both pragmatic and theoretical insights. Festinger’s theory of cognitive dissonance holds that when a person has two cognitions or “knowledges” which are inconsistent with on another, a state of dissonance or psychological discomfort occurs. The existence of the discomfort motivates the person to attempt to alleviate the inconsistency in order to restore the organism to a state of equilibrium or consonance. A dissonance approach to persuasion has two …

Current Trends And Issues In Emergency Medical Care, Gabriel Hilkovitz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In the last 20 years, we have witnessed the growing importance of emergency rooms in community health care, particularly in large metropolitan areas. Almost imperceptibly at first, and then with incredible momentum, public demand for urgent and emergency medical services expanded with population growth and disappearance, maldistribution or unavailability of family physicians.

Elective Mutism In Childhood, Gilbert Silverman, Douglas F. Powers

Variations On The Theme Of Depression, Ann Stewart

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Freud in 1917 published his classic paper on mourning and melancholia describing the essential features of melancholia (depression) as "profoundly painful dejection, cessation of interest in the outside world, loss of the capacity to love, inhibition of all activity and a lowering of the self-regarding feelings to a degree that culminate in a delusional expectation of punishment." Much has developed in the knowledge of depression since 1917, but even more has become known about the development of personality and its various stages as well as the psychic structures involved.

Special Characteristics Of Adopted Children And Adoptive Parents As Seen In A Psychiatric Practice, Lillian C. Lindemann, Virginia A. Saunders

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

We have presented these characteristics of 22 adopted children and 20 sets of adoptive parents viewed as special by a team of child psychiatrists and a psychiatric social worker in a private setting. Material derived from psychological test protocols was included in the study. No attempt has been made to statistically validate the findings and the presentation has been descriptive. The reality of an abandonment experience would appear to be a major element in the anxiety experienced by the adopted child. This source of anxiety is the one element that distinguishes the emotionally disturbed adopted child from the emotionally disturbed …

The Development Of A Comprehensive Health Care Program For Patients With Active Tuberculosis, Grace G. Eddison, Barbara M. Farmer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Concepts basic to effective medical care evolved from the development of a comprehensive health service program for patients with tuberculosis. The key to success was found in a basic philosophy underlying all interpersonal relationships-the conviction that all men are equal. This philosophy then became the motivating force behind the creation of a functioning multidisciplinary team in which there was developed a freedom of relationships between each team member, and between team members and patients. The effectiveness of this approach in comprehensive medical care was illustrated by examples of special services and programming which were designed to reach all levels of …

Severe School Phobia, Douglas F. Powers, Hugh Mcmahan, Carol Mcnally Owens

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This presentation has emphasized that the under-lying conflict in school phobias begins as bilateral separation anxiety between mother and young child. This unhealthy symbiotic relationship, occurring during the time that the child is trying to develop his own autonomy, cripples his ability to cope with the separation anxiety when he goes to school, or in the face of certain life events such as a move, illness, or birth of a sibling which revive this early anxiety. The response is a disturbed pattern of school attendance which may range from mild to severe and acute to chronic. These basic conflicts represent …

Psycho-Social Aspects Of Drug Abuse By Modern Youth, James L. Mathis

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Research in human behavior rarely lends itself to the scientific rigors which allow for definitive cause and effect answers even if they exist. Perhaps no facet of human life has a simple origin, and certainly that is true of behavior which involves all levels of personality function and social interaction such as occurs in drug abuse. Drug abuse undoubtedly is overdetermined behavior with multiple etiological factors in a constantly fluxuating interaction. Most observers agree that drug abuse by the youth has become a major problem, but differences arise when the sociological and psychological factors of etiology are discussed. The many …

Drug Abuse In Our Community, George M. Bright

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

What is new about people taking drugs: Nothing! Our society is a drug-oriented society. We have been both using drugs and, at times, abusing them for years. Furthermore, drug abuse has been written about for hundreds of years. What is alarming today, however, is the number of youth who are joining the drug scene from our junior high, high schools and colleges throughout the country. Fortunately, many of these will be involved only temporarily. Others will develop physical and psychological problems as a consequence of their involvement. Our responsibility is not limited to the small percentage that have short or …

Sequential Processing Deficits In Reading Retardation, Sara Gambrell Tarver

Master's Theses

Doehring (1968) hypothesized that a basic sequential processing deficit underlies specific reading disability. To investigate sequential processing deficits in reading retardation, four tasks involving the reproduction of stimuli in a particular sequence were administered to a group of retarded readers and a group of normal readers matched on age, sex, race, educational opportunity, sociocultural environment, and Non-Language IQ on the CTMM. The normal readers were significantly superior to the retarded readers on the four sequential processing tasks and on two other tests, vocabulary and rhyming. The two groups did not differ significantly on reversals discrimination, perceptual speed, or cumulative learning. …
