A Comparative Study On The Frequency Of Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, And Allergic Disorders Between Bottle-Fed And Breast-Fed Infants From Birth To Twelve Weeks Of Age, Sylvia C. Souza

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Questions concerning the advantages of breast-feeding have been debated since the introduction of commercially-prepared formula about 50 years ago. Some recognized benefits of breast milk include less respiratory as well as other Infections, less allergy in infancy and later life, and a lower morbidity rate in less-developed countries. From 1955 to 1971 in the United States there was a decline in the incidence of breast feeding related to several factors which included the introduction of formula, mothers returning to the work force, and strict maternity units' rules and routines. Since 1971 to the present there has been a resurgence in …

The Effects Of Pregnancy On Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Julia Christensen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The safety of pregancy for the woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has long been studied. Controversy exists about the occurrence of exacerbations during pregnancy and the effect these exacerbations will have on the basic disease process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect pregnancy would have in precipitating exacerbation of disease activity. The investigation was carried out by comparing two matched groups of women with SLE, one group pregnant and the other group nonpregnant. The difference in occurrence of exacerbation among the three trimesters of pregnancy and the pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and postpartum periods was also studied. …

The Perceived Effectiveness Of Medical Social Work Faculty, Richard M. Grinnell Jr., Nancy S. Kyte, Richard L. Gorsuch

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Within the health care field, medical social work has expanded rapidly over the past few years (Bracht, 1974). Medical social workers comprise approximately 1.5 percent of the total medical schools' faculty in the United States (Grinnell, Kyte & Hunter, 1976). There is additional evidence that medical social work faculty will increase over the years to come (Grinnell, Kyte, Hunter & Larson, 1976; Crinnell, Kyte & Hunter, 1976; Grinnell & Kyte, 1978b; & Grinnell & Kyte, 1979). Additionally, empirical studies have been conducted that analyzed the functions of social work faculty in medical schools (Grinnell & Kyte, 1978c; Grinnell & Kyte, …

Vocational Interests Of Dental Hygiene Professionals, Renee Johnson

Dental Hygiene Theses & Dissertations

This study examined the vocational interests of dental hygienists according to occupational setting and highest level of education. The Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory was used to measure vocational interests of a random cluster sample of licensed dental hygienists.

An ex post facto 2 x 2 factorial research design was used. Occupational setting and highest level of education completed were the attribute independent variables and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory scores was the dependent variable.

Two-way analysis of variance revealed significant interest differences between private practice dental hygienists and community practice dental hygienists, and between dental hygienists with a certificate or associate degree …

High Resolution Two-Dimensional Electrophoretic Study Of Human Seminal Plasma Proteins, Edward E. Gaunt

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

A comprehensive biochemical screening procedure for the evaluation of seminal plasma constituents is needed which, when used in conjunction with semen analysis, can provide the physician with both qualitative and quantitative information regarding the fertility status of an individual.

High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis is a technique whereby proteins in a complex mixture such as a biological fluid are separated in one dimension by molecular charge and in the second dimension by molecular mass. It has been the purpose of this investigation to adapt and evaluate this technique for the analysis of human seminal plasma.

Our efforts have shown that this …

Multiple Forms Of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Glycohydrolase From Bull Semen, Stanley D. Yeatts Ii

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase (NADase) of bull semen is an extracellular, soluble enzyme capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of the nicotinamide N-ribosidic linkage of NAD⁺. In search for a rapid, simple procedure for the preparation of this enzyme, it was found that Matrex Gel Red A (Amicon) column packing served very well as an affinity gel for NADase. The enzyme was applied to the Matrex Red A column (21 cm x 1.5 cm) in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0. Surprisingly, two fractions of NADase activity were obtained when the column was eluted with a sodium chloride …

The Effects Of 712-Dimethylbenz (A) Anthracene On Ovarian Steroidogenesis And Uterine Growth In The Mouse, Jeffrey Lynn Clark

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

It has been previously demonstrated that 7,12-dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA) is an initiator of ovarian granulosa cell tumors. It is also known that DMBA leads to destruction of primordial oocytes, and that tumor induction may involve the interaction of pituitary gonadotropins. However, the effects of DMBA on ovarian steroidogenesis and uterine growth in relation to the tumorigenic process have not been investigated. Therefore, the present study was conducted to examine these parameters using adult C57Bl/6N mice treated in proestrus and diestrus II with 0.1 ml corn oil with or without 1.5 mg DMBA and killed 44 hours later. The uteri and …

Dental Hygiene Students' Perceptions Of Themselves And The Typical Dental Hygienist In Regard To Feminism, Christine M. Berg

Dental Hygiene Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to assess dental hygiene students' perceptions of themselves and the "typical dental hygienist" in regard to feminism. The accessible population was composed of all first-year, second-year, and post-certificate dental hygiene students at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, and the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Data were organized according to a 3x3x3 factorial research design with age, Q.P.A., and educational level as the assigned independent variables. The dependent variable, students' perceptions of themselves and the "typical dental hygienist," was measured by the Feminism II Scale.

Repeated measures analysis of variance yielded no statistically significant difference …

The Analysis Of S-Adenosylmethionine And S-Adenosylhomocysteine In Normal And Neoplastic Cells, Kathryn Elizabeth Godburn

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

Altered patterns of methylation have been shown in both ribosomal and transfer RNA isolated from cancer cells. In contrast to the elevated activity of the methyltransferases responsible for this modification, hypomethylation appears as a general characteristic. The endogenous levels of S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine are important in relationship to their role as substrate and product of the transmethylation reaction. The levels of S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine were determined using phosphocellulose cation exchange or high pressure liquid chromatography. High voltage paper electrophoresis was used in a modified procedure to directly resolve (³⁵s) labeled S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine in small quantities of cell …

Recurrent Klebsiella Meningitis Following Trans-Sphenoidal Hypophysectomy For Nelson's Syndrome: Chloramphenicol Resistance During Relapse, Tom Madhavan, Daria Kiani, Louis Saravolatz, Keith Burch, Raymond C. Mellinger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Three episodes of meningitis due to Klebsiella pneumoniae occurred in a young man following cerebral surgery. The patient had the features of Nelson's syndrome, and a chromophobe adenoma was removed by trans-sphenoidal resection. Intravenous chloramphenicol was effective in producing a temporary clinical response during the first episode of meningitis, but the organism became resistant to chloramphenicol during the second episode. Combined parenteral and intralumbar administration of gentamicin resulted in temporary improvement only. Subsequently, the subcutaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reservoir of Ommaya provided a safe, convenient way to administer prolonged intraventricular therapy which, combined with a definitive procedure to correct the …

Occult Cushing's Syndrome Presenting With Osteoporosis, M. Kleerekoper, Sudhaker D. Rao, B. Frame, R. D. Larocque, T. Feigelman, V. Matkovic, L. V. Avioli

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Osteoporosis is a frequent complication both of endogenous hypercortisolism and of long-term treatment with corticosteroids, but only rarely is it the major clinical feature with the more characteristic features absent or minimally present. In the two patients presented, hypercortisolism was uncovered only during routine evaluation of osteoporosis. This presentation is probably due to slow progression of the disease and is often associated with so-called black adenoma of the adrenal gland. Secondary causes should be sought in all patients with seemingly "senile" or "postmenopausal" osteoporosis.

The Presentation Of Thyroid Malignancy In The Geriatric Patient, Joel I. Hamburger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Of 334 patients with thyroid carcinoma, 36 were age 65 or older. The sex distribution of the geriatric patients did not significantly differ from that of the younger patients. Older patients had significantly fewer papillary carcinomas and significantly more anaplastic and medullary carcinomas and lymphomas than younger patients. Papillary and follicular carcinomas of geriatric patients were large (4 cm or larger) significantly more often than those of the younger patients. Only one of 53 patients with very small (1 cm or less) papillary and follicular carcinomas was in the older group.

The Impact Of Needle Biopsy On The Preoperative Diagnosis Of Thyroid Nodules, J. Martin Miller, Joel I. Hamburger, Sudha R. Kini

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study compares the noninvasive evaluation of 1,075 patients with "cold" thyroid nodules with the evaluation provided by needle biopsy. It also compares the treatment of this group with that of a similar group of 1,094 patients treated before biopsies were available. The results of these comparisons indicate that needle biopsy: 1) halved the number of surgical candidates; 2) doubled the percentage of cancers in the surgical specimens; 3) reduced the risk that a thyroid cancer would not be operated upon; and 4) accomplished all of the above with a substantial financial saving in overall patient management.
