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 …

Special Characteristics Of Adopted Children And Adoptive Parents As Seen In A Psychiatric Practice, Lillian C. Lindemann, Virginia A. Saunders

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

We have presented these characteristics of 22 adopted children and 20 sets of adoptive parents viewed as special by a team of child psychiatrists and a psychiatric social worker in a private setting. Material derived from psychological test protocols was included in the study. No attempt has been made to statistically validate the findings and the presentation has been descriptive. The reality of an abandonment experience would appear to be a major element in the anxiety experienced by the adopted child. This source of anxiety is the one element that distinguishes the emotionally disturbed adopted child from the emotionally disturbed …

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency, Daniel N. Mohler

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Major attention was first focused on the problem of acute hemolytic anemia in the early 1950's, during the Korean War. Large numbers of American Negroes stationed in Korea developed this anemia after taking primaquine for treatment or prophylaxis of malaria. A study group was formed in Chicago under the direction of Alving; it was this group of investigators who contributed much of the early information which has led to our understanding of this type of anemia (Dern, et al, 1954; Dern, Beutler and Alving, 1954; Beutler, Dern, and Alving, 1954). This also resulted in an upsurge of interest in red …

The New Hemoglobinopathies, Robert M. Cooper

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The clinical explorations which have resulted from studies of mutant hemoglobin have allowed definition of a variety of syndromes whose manifestations require explanation in terms of the effects of molecular distortion on physiological processes. The discovery of various hemoglobinopathies has demonstrated that specific molecular defects may express themselves in various pathophysiological manifestations. More detailed pathophysiological studies of patients with hemoglobinopathies should be performed to gain a better understanding of the expression of molecular disease.

Evaluation Of The Essentiality Of Dextran In The Dental Caries Process, William Redman Grigsby

Theses and Dissertations

In summary, the main points to support the view that dextran synthesis is unessential to the dental caries process are presented below:

1 . Dextran-fed, microbe-bearing rats do not experience dental caries.

2 . Lactobacillus casei 4646 has no extracellular dextransucrase enzyme or other extracellular enzymes which release glucose or fructose from sucrose .

3. L. casei 4646 does not synthesize extracellular polysaccharide of the dextran class when grown on sucrose-containing medium.

4. L. casei 4646 does not exhibit in vitro, adherent growth on stainless-steel wire when grown on sucrose-containing medium .

5. L. casei 4646 does not cause dental …

The Application Of An Index To Determine Genetic And Environhental Contributions To Dentofacial Growth In Twins And Siblings, Richard Charles Hayes

Theses and Dissertations

The method of principal components may be used to reduce a large quantity of data for an individual into a single statistic, a growth index, indicative of overall facial growth, and to make a determination of the relative contribution of each variable, as well as the genotype and the environment, to the variation between individuals, When this method is applied to four consecutive years of cephalometric and anthropometric data from each of 95 children, consisting of Caucasian and Negro monozygotic twins, like-sexed dizygotic twins, and their siblings of both sexes, it discloses that:

1. The relative contributions of the variables …
