A Survey Of Patterns Of Nonpharmacologic Care For Hypertensive Patients, Including Recommendations For Their Children, Ivan Soltero, Yi Tsong, Richard Cooper, Jeremiah Stamler, Rose Stamler, Dan Garside

Faculty Publications

To ascertain current approaches of physicians to nutritional-hygienic management of hypertensive patients and their children, a survey was done among a random sample of Chicago-area generalists, internists, and cardiologists. Thirteen items related to advice for patients; two for their children. Of 713 physicians holding M.D. degrees in the sample, 573 (80%) responded. For hypertensive patients, the great majority of physicians indicated that they advise weight loss, avoidance of salt use at table, no smoking, regular exercise, limitation of alcohol intake, and avoidance of stressful situations. Although 98% advised weight loss, a minority responded positively to reduction of carbohydrate and/or fat …


The Association Between Urinary Sodium Excretion And Blood Pressure In Children, R. Cooper, I. Soltero, K. Liu, D. Berkson, S. Levinson, J. Stamler Jan 1980

The Association Between Urinary Sodium Excretion And Blood Pressure In Children, R. Cooper, I. Soltero, K. Liu, D. Berkson, S. Levinson, J. Stamler

Faculty Publications

This study explored the association between sodium excretion and blood pressure (BP). A new method was used to minimize the measurement error introduced by the large intrinsic variability of 24-hour sodium excretion. The ratio of intra- to interindividual variation was used to estimate the number of measurements needed to characterize the individual. When seven consecutive 24-hour samples were collected from 73 children, ages 11-14 years, a significant correlation between mean individual sodium excretion and BP was demonstrated. The independent relationship persisted when controlling for height, weight, pulse, age, sex and race (p = 0.045), but was eliminated by simultaneously considering …


With Ground Teeth: A Study Of Flannery O'Connor's Women., Mary Lambert Morton Jan 1980

With Ground Teeth: A Study Of Flannery O'Connor's Women., Mary Lambert Morton

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Eighteen of Flannery O'Connor's short stories feature women as protagonists or antagonists. Of the remaining thirteen stories in the canon, four are assimilated into her novel Wise Blood. This study, then, encompasses the entire O'Connor canon with the exceptions of the novel The Violent Bear It Away and eight short stories, since one of the remaining nine stories is a part of The Violent Bear It Away. The majority, then, of O'Connor's short stories feature women in leading roles. Even those in supporting roles seem prominent. With the women in Wise Blood, they dramatize O'Connor's special vision of comedy and …


From Disgrace To Dignity - The Louisiana Leper Home, 1894-1921, Charles Hilary Calandro Jan 1980

From Disgrace To Dignity - The Louisiana Leper Home, 1894-1921, Charles Hilary Calandro

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The care and treatment of lepers at the Louisiana Leper Home from 1894 to 1921 was based essentially upon both Biblical and medieval precedents, the chief of which was the belief that leprosy was incurable and its victims should be isolated. Accordingly, the state medical profession believed that leprous cases should be isolated and treated to prevent further spread of the disease, while the lay community favored their isolation to remove the public's economic and social fears. The creation of an asylum at a rundown plantation in Iberville Parish represented the practical application of this belief. On the one hand, …


Speechwriting In Rhetorical Criticism: An Extension Of Theory As Applied To The Johnson Administration., Suzanne Elizabeth Condray Jan 1980

Speechwriting In Rhetorical Criticism: An Extension Of Theory As Applied To The Johnson Administration., Suzanne Elizabeth Condray

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Speechwriting practices have long been associated with rhetorical history. American presidents have employed the speechwriter's assistance since the beginning of this nation. From the dawn of radio, presidential speechwriting practices have grown to the extent that most presidents rely heavily on the writer to prepare the bulk of their messages. While many political speakers have grown to depend on the speechwriter to assist him in preparing the ideas or language of his message, rhetorical critics have largely ignored the writer's influence on the message and his impact on the preparation process. The purpose of this study is fourfold. First of …


Theory And Performance Of Narrative Ambiguity In Selected Novels By John Hawkes., Carole Ellsworth Tallant Jan 1980

Theory And Performance Of Narrative Ambiguity In Selected Novels By John Hawkes., Carole Ellsworth Tallant

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Narrative ambiguity, a concept which has only recently achieved prominence in literary criticism, has important implications for the performance of literature as well. Few studies exist which focus exclusively on narrative ambiguity. Most, instead, discuss the semantic kind. Recently, however, the increase of interest in the narrative form in general has precipitated interest in narrative ambiguity as well. In the field of the performance of literature, however, no one has investigated this phenomenon until now. The purpose of this study was to define and describe narrative ambiguity through an examination and identification of it both in theoretical writings and in …


A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Speaking Of Barry Morris Goldwater, 1969-1974., Sharon Bowers Porter Jan 1980

A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Speaking Of Barry Morris Goldwater, 1969-1974., Sharon Bowers Porter

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The late 1960's and early 1970's witnessed a political renaissance of conservatism in America and a resurgent interest in the conservative Senator from Arizona, Barry Morris Goldwater. This dissertation attempts to explain how the Arizona made rhetorical choices in light of his political ideology. The investigation focuses on the question of whether Goldwater's conservatism or his view of himself limited his rhetorical flexibility and/or the ultimate acceptance or rejection of his messages. To facilitate this task, a comparison was made of how Goldwater approached two diverse audience types: (1) partisans and (2) neutral and hostile groups. Barry Goldwater's rhetoric displayed …

An Experimental And Mechanistic Study Of The High Temperature Thermal Decomposition Of Methanol, David Leslie Miller May 1979

An Experimental And Mechanistic Study Of The High Temperature Thermal Decomposition Of Methanol, David Leslie Miller

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The thermal decomposition of methanol (CH3OH) was studied in4 both conventional and single-pulse shock tubes over the temperature and pressure ranges 950-2000 K and 1*5-12.5 atm., respectively. In both studies, highly diluted CH3OH mixtures in Ar were shock heated behind reflected waves. In the conventional shock tube infrared emission at both 3.47 and 9.56 M>m was monitored in order to measure CH3OH concentration as a function of time. The CH3OH concentration profiles were characterized by overall global expressions. Quenched samples from the single-pulse shock tube were analyzed by gas chromatography. The data obtained from the two sets of experiments …
