Nonenzymatic Glycation Of Cytoskeletal Proteins In Diabetes Mellitus., Michael Ray Brown

Theses and Dissertations

Prolonged hyperglycemia, as seen in diabetes, results in nonenzymatic glycation of proteins and DNA. Previous investigation by others has shown that many intracellular proteins are glycated, both, in vivo and in vitro. Nonetheless, only a few proteins have been analyzed for the effect of glycation on their function.Glucose and galactose were found to modify a large number of the lysyl residues in selected cytoskeletal proteins. These results led to the study of myosin and S-1 (subfragment-1 of myosin), first with FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate; isomer #1) and later with comparatively less reactive sugars (sorbitol, glucose, fructose, and ribose).FITC caused a decrease …

A Prospective Study Of Cancer Patients Developing Nausea And Vomiting In Response To Radiotherapy., Michael Earl Nunley

Theses and Dissertations

Individuals diagnosed as having cancer are confronted with challenging life and death issues. Medical interventions aimed at retarding or eradicating malignant growths have fortunately met with increasing success over recent years, thus offering patients optimism in the form of either prolonging life or attaining a permanent cure. However, such optimism is not met without risks of suffering distressing treated related side-effects. Perhaps the most unpleasant side-effects facing patients are nausea and vomiting which can be associated with undergoing either chemotherapy or radiotherapy.Over the past decade, research with chemotherapy patients has aided in identifying treatment related and psychological or emotional factors …

A Comparison Of Inpatient And Outpatient Treatment Programs For Bulimia Nervosa, Claudette M. Richter-Reno

Theses and Dissertations

The current study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of an inpatient stay followed by outpatient treatment for bulimia nervosa, in comparison to an outpatient program only. It was hypothesized that bulimics in the inpatient/outpatient group would be receiving the combined benefits of both inpatient and outpatient treatment, thereby demonstrating greater changes in reduction of bulimic symptomatology than subjects in the less intensive outpatient treatment. Thirty-four, adult, caucasian females meeting the DSM-III-R criteria for bulimia nervosa served as subjects. Nineteen subjects received inpatient/outpatient treatment, while fifteen received outpatient treatment. Subjects completed an initial test packet, including the Beck Depression Inventory …

A Study Of The Relationship Of Maternal And Child Risk Factors To Development And Low-Income Status In Grand Forks County., Kay Elizabeth Campbell

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between maternal and child risk factors and the variables of development, low-income status, and multiple births. The sample consisted of 193 children referred to the North Dakota Early Childhood Tracking System in Grand Forks County from 1988 to mid-1991. The referral criteria were based on established, biological, and environmental risk factors. The correlation between development and risk factors was not significant. Low-income status was significantly correlated to maternal risk factors (p $<$.001), short term respiratory problems (p $<$.05), neonatal risk factors (p $<$.05), and single parenthood (p $<$.001). Multiple births were significantly correlated to neonatal risk factors (p $<$.05) and prematurity (p $<$.001).

Literature Review And Critique Of Shoulder Training Programs For Increasing Throwing Velocity Of The Baseball Pitcher, Ronald K. Mimaki

Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects

The purpose of this independent study is a literature review of the principles of training and a critique of the shoulder strength training programs for increasing the throwing velocity of the baseball pitcher. In addition, a sport specific movement analysis, based on biomechanics, physiology and kinesiology of the baseball overhand pitch will be examined. The critique will be based on the principles of training reviewed earlier and a sport specific movement analysis. Finally, a proposal of a potential training program and possible topics for research will be discussed.

Technical Needs Assessment Of North Dakota Manufacturers, Michael Nefs

Theses and Dissertations

The problem of this study was to identify, document, and prioritize technical assistance needs of North Dakota manufacturers. The primary objective was to determine the technical assistance needs of North Dakota manufacturers as they relate to: a) education; b) consulting; c) research and development. A secondary objective was to prioritize the ten most pertinent technical areas of need as determined by the North Dakota manufacturers.

This study used a descriptive survey research method. The researcher devised a survey instrument and was validated by a panel of experts. The instrument included fifty-three technical areas, most of which are emerging technologies. The …

Measurement Of Ascorbic Acid And Dehydroascorbic Acid In Mammalian Tissues Using Hplc With Electrochemical Detection, Debra A. Fry

Theses and Dissertations

The oxidized and reduced forms of ascorbic acid (AA) are reactive and unstable compounds making their measurement difficult. Detection of small amounts of AA and dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA) is essential for determining the biochemical function of the vitamin in cells and subcellular organelles. While a variety of techniques exist which detect millimolar levels of AA, accurate assessment of pmol levels of AA and DHAA in a variety of tissues has not been perfected. In the present study, a method was developed for quantitation of AA and DHAA that combines HPLC separation with the advantages of increased sensitivity and selectivity available …

Red Cross Nursing In World War I: North Dakota Women's Response To The Call To Serve, Beverly Jensen

Theses and Dissertations

North Dakota women served in the United States Army and Navy Nurse Corps during World War I as Red Cross Reserve nurses. In 1935 the North Dakota American Legion Auxiliary collected and compiled, in manuscript form, brief biographies of these women and placed the manuscript at the North Dakota State Library in Bismarck. This paper is an attempt to describe the circumstances surrounding North Dakota nurses' participation in World War I.

The Red Cross Nursing Service Committee was the primary agency recruiting and training nurses. Numerous books, nursing journals, newspaper accounts, and magazine articles about Red Cross nursing were read. …

Species- And Tissue-Specific Distribution Of Mitochondrial And Cytoplasmic Isozymes Of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase., Thomas John Wiese

Theses and Dissertations

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), an enzyme which exists as two distinct isozymes, is distributed in a species- and tissue-specific manner. The purpose of this study was to systematically determine the quantity and intracellular location of both isozyme activities of PEPCK in a number of major and important tissues of several species of mammals and birds.Both the intracellular distribution and quantities of both PEPCK isozyme activities were determined in liver, kidney, gastrointestinal mucosa, and adipose tissue; and the total quantity of the enzyme activity was determined in skeletal muscle, brain, spleen, lung, and heart of fed rat and fed and fasted rabbit, …
