Studies On Antibody Mediated Suppression Of The Immune Response, John W. Safford Jr.

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

It is well known that passive antibody will specifically suppress an immune response to the corresponding antigen. The goal of this study was to determine if passive antibody had any effect on the development of immunological memory. The nature of the immune response to a second injection of sheep red blood cells (SRBC) following a primary immune response suppressed by passive antibody was investigated. C57Bl/Ks mice received a primary injection of SRBC and homologous anti-SRBC serum; 14 days later they were challenged with a second injection of SRBC. The immune response was evaluated by determining the number of cells synthesizing …

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 …

Rearing Orphan Kangaroos, G L. Ward

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

LICENCES are required in Western Australia if certain kangaroos and all species of wallabies are kept in captivity, but orphaned young joeys often need care and hand feeding before they can be released to fend for themselves.

Inoculation Abscesses Can Downgrade Carcasses, M R. Gardiner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE presence of inoculation abscesses in meat is one of the lesser known causes of downgrading or rejection of carcasses, but these abscesses have caused increasing concern in recent years.

They have obvious importance in export carcasses.

The New Stock Diseases Regulations : A Summary Of Major Regulations Under The New Stock Diseases (Regulations) Act, M R. Gardiner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE new Stock Diseases (Regulations) Act proclaimed on August 1, 1970, introduces some new regulations and makes many changes to existing regulations, which could affect most farmers at some time or another.

This article summarises the regulations most likely to affect farmers, with emphasis on new or changed regulations.

A Control Programme For Cheesy Gland In Sheep, M R. Gardiner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

CASEOUS LYMPHADENITIS, or "cheesy gland" as it is usually known in Australia, is a common disease of sheep which is very important in the economics of the lamb and mutton industry.

Solar Retinopathy Following The Eclipse Of March 7, 1970, Walter J. Geeraets, Thomas W. Nooney, Joseph R. Svoboda, Florencia C. Ching

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A case of unilateral retinal burn injury of the fovea and two cases of binocular injuries have been reported, in connection with the viewing of the eclipse of March 7, 1970. Some calculations of energy densities involved have also been presented.

Rheumatoid Arthritis And Malignancy, Duncan S. Owen Jr., Marion Waller, Elam C. Toone Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A retrospective study of the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic malignancy was performed using the records of 196 older age patients with classic or definite rheumatoid arthritis. The results were compared to 125 patients in the same age group who had arthritis of a non-rheumatoid type. There was no difference in the incidence of malignancy in the two groups of patients. However, there was a positive correlation between the incidence of malignancy and the use of long term adrenocorticosteroid therapy.

The Effect Of Ruby Laser, Xenon-Light Coagulator And Diathermy On Vitreous Proteins, Ira R. Lederman, Edward R. Berry, Walter J. Geeraets

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Vitreous haze produced by excessive energy delivered during clinical photocoagulation has been reported. The introduction of the ruby laser and the continued use of diathermy to produce therapeutic lesions lead to a comparison of the three modalities in respect to their possible effect on the proteins of the vitreous for an acceptable clinical retinal lesion.

New Concepts In The Management Of Neonatal Jaundice: Use Of Enzyme Induction And Phototherapy, Harold M. Maurer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

All the observations suggest that phenobarbital and light may be of therapeutic value in controlling neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. In pregnancies in which one might anticipate increased bilirubin formation by the newborn baby, the use of phenobarbital during pregnancy and in the neonatal period, and exposure of the infant to light may provide methods other than exchange transfusion to reduce the concentration of serum bilirubin in the infant. Clinical trials should proceed cautiously, however, since phenobarbital is known to stimulate the activity of liver microsomal enzymes that metabolize, steroids, hormones, and other normal body substrates. It is not known whether this effect …

Immune Suppression In Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia, John H. Moon

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The acquired auto-immune hemolytic anemias represent a diversity of disease states in which the most constant immunologic finding is a positive direct anti-human globulin test (van Loghem, 1965; Swisher et al, 1965). This is true of the symptomatic variety of acquired hemolytic anemia as well as the idiopathic form. The positive Coomb's test has been seen in association with primary atypical pneumonias, occasionally in favism, in some bacterial and drug induced hemolytic anemias, in patients with malignancies of the lymphoid tissues, and in collagen-vascular disorders--chiefly SLE.

Multiphasic Health Screening, Robert W. Jessee

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Although scientifically unproven, general empirical agreement supports the notion that the early detection of disease is beneficial in the control of the disease process. The aim is to discover and cure conditions which have already produced cellular or biochemical change but which have not so far reached a stage associated with symptoms for which medical aid is sought spontaneously (Wilson and Jungner, 1968). The various methods of early disease detection have evolved along with contemporary philosophical and technological developments.

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.

Pre-Hospital Management Of Acute Myocardial Infarction, Charles L. Baird Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries is recognized today as a major health problem in the United States, since 600,000 deaths are attributed to it annually (Vital Statistics 1966). The medical profession and the general public are well aware of the important studies of its pathogenesis and prevention. However, the profession has been so preoccupied with these phases of investigation that the mechanism of death and possible modes of correction have remained obscured until recently.

British Medical Practice - Some Recent Innovations, Maurice Wood

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This presentation might be better labelled "A worm's eye view of the National Health Service" (NHS) as it covers of necessity only a limited spectrum of that program. General practice as a discipline is infinitely variable in its application; and factors of geography, practical size, social classifications of population, and employment patterns can produce enormous differences in the details of practice organization.

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

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Five cases of elective mutism seen in the Treatment Center over the past eight years have been reported. Fairly strict diagnostic criteria have been laid down and a comparison of the cases in the literature has been done.

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.
