Narcotic Utilization For Pain Patients Housed In Private And Semi-Private Rooms., Jeffrey Joseph Dolce Jan 1983

Narcotic Utilization For Pain Patients Housed In Private And Semi-Private Rooms., Jeffrey Joseph Dolce

All ETDs from UAB

This investigation examined: (1) the utilization of narcotic analgesics by 40 back pain patients housed in private rooms and 40 patients housed in semi-private rooms ; and (2) the activity patterns of 10 orthopedic/pain patients housed in private rooms and 10 patients in semi-private rooms. It was postulated that patients in private rooms would experience reductions in stimulation which would lower pain tolerance and result in greater use of narcotic analgesics. It was found that pain patients housed in private rooms used more intramuscular request-contingent narcotic analgesics but not greater amounts of other types of narcotic analgesics. Room type, as …


Education And Public Health In Mexico And Saudi Arabia: 1950 - 1980., Harry Griggs Hamilton Jan 1983

Education And Public Health In Mexico And Saudi Arabia: 1950 - 1980., Harry Griggs Hamilton

All ETDs from UAB

This paper reviews social policy and its effect on education and public health in Mexico and Saudi Arabia during the period from 1950 to 1980. A case study approach is employed to test the hypothesis that both Mexican and Saudi Arabian social policy was patterned after the Western European model of modernization, and that this emulation approach limited the effectiveness of education and public health efforts as measured by literacy rates, educational level, replacement of expatriates (only in Saudi Arabia), life expectancy, nutritional level, and incidence of disease associated with underdevelopment. It is argued that this approach was inefficient both …


Unity In "No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger" And Mark Twain's Debt To Christian Science., Jeb Midyette Jan 1983

Unity In "No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger" And Mark Twain's Debt To Christian Science., Jeb Midyette

All ETDs from UAB

Since 1969 the traditional assessment of the final fifteen years of Mark Twain's career has undergone a reversal because of the availability of the original Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts. These manuscripts, for the first time, presented three distinct versions of Twain's mysterious stranger stories. Study of these texts has revealed that after Twain's death in 1910, his editor, Albert Bigelow Paine, without Twain's prior consent, combined the body of "The Chronicle of Young Satan," the earliest version of the three different texts, with the conclusion of "No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger," the final version. The novel, published in 1916 by F.A. …


Urban Versus Nonurban Counties: An Analysis Of The Distribution Of The Reagan Block Grant Funds In Alabama., Sandra Elaine Berry Jan 1983

Urban Versus Nonurban Counties: An Analysis Of The Distribution Of The Reagan Block Grant Funds In Alabama., Sandra Elaine Berry

All ETDs from UAB

The purpose of this study is to determine if the State of Alabama distributes program funds underwritten by the Reagan block grants in such a way that the resulting distribution is biased against more urbanized counties. Specifically, this will be determined by looking at the percent change between FY 1981 and FY 1983 in the funding of selected State services at the county level. Percent change permits one to look at changes over time, and time, as will be shown, is an important consideration of this paper.


Residents Without Residences: A Study Of Homelessness In Birmingham, Alabama., James Stephen Cleghorn Jan 1983

Residents Without Residences: A Study Of Homelessness In Birmingham, Alabama., James Stephen Cleghorn

All ETDs from UAB

Popular perceptions of homeless persons are undergoing significant revision in these early years of the 1980's. The traditional pejorative stereotypes are still circulated, as evidenced in the remark made by the morning show DJ reproduced above, but such stereotypes now have to compete against a growing awareness of the homeless as much more than urban ”ground clutter.”

The Influence Of Economic And Political Conditions On Revitalizing Downtown And Neighborhood Business Districts., Cynthia Frances Wright Jan 1982

The Influence Of Economic And Political Conditions On Revitalizing Downtown And Neighborhood Business Districts., Cynthia Frances Wright

All ETDs from UAB

Does the success of a city's program to revitalize its business districts depend more on local economic conditions or on political conditions? Political scientists have debated this question of whether political structures and processes or socio-economic needs and resources are more influential in shaping public policy. The original assumption that political structures and processes were crucial was replaced by the notion that both political structures and public policy were determined by social needs and economic resources.

Biocompatibility Investigations Of Surgical Implant Alloys., Linda Chambers Lucas Jan 1982

Biocompatibility Investigations Of Surgical Implant Alloys., Linda Chambers Lucas

All ETDs from UAB

Three alloys used for surgical applications, 316L stainless steel (Fe-Cr-Ni, ASTMF138), Co-Cr-Mo (ASTM F75) and T1-6A1-4V (ASTM F136) were investigated to determine the elemental constituents released during corrosion and to determine the tissue responses elicited under in vitro and in vivo conditions. In vitro testing involved exposing cell cultures to varying concentrations of synthetic solutions based on the alloy’s chemical composition and independently to solutions of the elements comprising the alloy. In vivo testing involved implanting the alloys in rabbits and injecting synthetic solutions of corrosion products at the implant-to-capsule interface. In vitro exposure of cell cultures to synthetic stainless …
