Evaluation Of Medical Care Provided To Alaska Natives, Volumes 1, 2, And 3., Unknown

Native Health Database Full Text

The purpose of this report is to develop life tables for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population residing in the geographic area in which the Indian Health Service (IHS) has responsibilities and to make comparisons of Indian life expectancy to the total, White, and Black U.S. populations. Life tables provide a more refined means of measuring mortality levels in a population than crude, age-specific, or age-adjusted mortality rates. They allow comparison of mortality rates between population without requiring adjustment to an actual standard population in order to account for differences in age distributions between those populations. The tables included …

Retention Of Relative Grip Effort For At-Home Isometric Exercise, Janet E. Steele Jan 1997

Retention Of Relative Grip Effort For At-Home Isometric Exercise, Janet E. Steele

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The purpose of this work was to determine if subjects initially trained to use a handgrip dynamometer could learn to perform the exercises at the same relative level of effort with a considerably less expensive substitute device. All subjects trained (4, 2-minute contractions, 30% maximal effort) 3 times per week for 12 weeks. In Study I, Group 1 (n = 13) trained using only the dynamometer while Group 2 (n = 14) trained using both the dynamometer and an egg-shaped substitute item for the first 6 weeks. All subjects then trained using only the egg-shaped item. Grip effort …

Spontaneous Pressure Diuresis In Conscious Rats, Janet E. Steele, Paul H. Brand, Patricia J. Metting, Steven Loyal Britton Jan 1997

Spontaneous Pressure Diuresis In Conscious Rats, Janet E. Steele, Paul H. Brand, Patricia J. Metting, Steven Loyal Britton

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Pressure diuresis is thought to be a long-term mechanism that is essential for regulation of blood volume and arterial pressure (AP). We recently found that experimentally- induced changes in AP result in changes in urine flow (UF) within 6 seconds in anesthetized rats. To test our hypothesis that the long-term nature of pressure diuresis is the result of the cumulative sum of many short-term changes in UF occurring in response to spontaneous changes in AP, AP (via an aortic catheter) and UF (via a gravimetric method) were measured over 2 hours in 8 conscious, free-moving, chronically …
