Relationship Between Breast-Feeding Duration And Acute Respiratory Infections In Infants, Ismail Abdulmoneim, Saleh A. Al-Ghamdi Apr 2001

Relationship Between Breast-Feeding Duration And Acute Respiratory Infections In Infants, Ismail Abdulmoneim, Saleh A. Al-Ghamdi

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship of breast-feeding duration on the frequency of respiratory tract infections in infants during the first 2 years of life. METHODS: A retrospective study where the files of infants randomly selected from Shamasan Primary Health Care Center were analyzed for different related factors and frequencies of respiratory infections. RESULTS: The mean duration of lactation was shorter than in previous national reports (5.1±3.4months). The frequencies of respiratory infections were high in the first 2 years reaching an average of 9.2±4.1 attacks per infant. The lower respiratory tract suffered more frequent attacks than the upper averaging a rate …


Maximum Acceptable Oral Reading Speed For Voice Input Systems, Nirari M. Oda Apr 2001

Maximum Acceptable Oral Reading Speed For Voice Input Systems, Nirari M. Oda

Masters Theses

The objective of this thesis was to study the effect of vocal duration period and background noise on psychophysical oral reading speed. Ten healthy white males (21-28 years old) were used as subjects. Experiment one was designed to determine Maximum Acceptable Oral Reading Speed (MAORS) for an 8-hour period using psychophysical methodology. Results indicate that 114 words/min was an acceptable oral reading rate for an 8-hour day. Furthermore, 2 hours and 20 minutes is an acceptable testing period ( equivalent to the 8-hour day). Acoustical and physiological variables support these findings. Experiment two was designed to study the effect of …


Assimilation Concerns Of Immigrant High School Students To The United States, Michelle Jeannette Garcia Apr 2001

Assimilation Concerns Of Immigrant High School Students To The United States, Michelle Jeannette Garcia

Student Work

This dissertation examined the difficulties in assimilation faced by immigrant students in our nation's public schools. One paradigm through which these difficulties might be viewed is the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance was defined as the psychological discomfort aroused by dissonant cognitions experienced by an individual. A review of the literature substantiated the fact that immigrant students are bombarded by dissonant cognitions every day in American schools as they adapt to their new lives here. Some resolve the psychological stress caused by these dissonant cognitions better than others.

Investigations Into The Innate Resistance Of The Tick, Dermacentor Variabilis, When Challenged With The Bacterium, Escherichia Coli, Shane Michael Ceraul Apr 2001

Investigations Into The Innate Resistance Of The Tick, Dermacentor Variabilis, When Challenged With The Bacterium, Escherichia Coli, Shane Michael Ceraul

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

In addition to the soluble response, many invertebrates control bacterial infections by means of phagocytosis or melanotic encapsulation. In some insects, Escherichia coli growth is reported to be inhibited by aggregation/encapsulation. Soluble and phagocytic responses to bacterial challenge have been reported in ticks, but evidence of an aggregation/encapsulation response was reported only for inanimate (araldite) implants. This study was done to determine how ticks control infection by E. coli. Ticks were challenged by direct inoculation of bacteria into the hemocoel cavity. Using plate counts, no viable E. coli were detected I hour post-inoculation. A direct fluorescence assay (DF A) …


Characterization Of Murine Cytomegalovirus M142 And M143 Essential Gene Products, Bridget Linette Dalton Apr 2001

Characterization Of Murine Cytomegalovirus M142 And M143 Essential Gene Products, Bridget Linette Dalton

Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a species-specific virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. This DNA virus causes severe disease or even death in newborns and immunosuppressed patients. Murine CMV (MCMV) provides an opportunity to study the role of various viral products in replication and pathology in the natural host. Successful replication of CMV in the host depends upon the expression of a cascade of viral genes: immediate early (IE), early (E), and late (L). To date only three MCMV IE proteins have been characterized (IE1, IE2 and IE3). Our laboratory recently identified a novel IE gene region within the Hind III I …


Sars, A Sara Homolog Repressible By Agr, Is An Activator Of Protein A Synthesis In Staphylococcus Aureus, Ambrose L. Cheung, Katherine Schmidt, Brian Bateman, Adhar C. Manna Apr 2001

Sars, A Sara Homolog Repressible By Agr, Is An Activator Of Protein A Synthesis In Staphylococcus Aureus, Ambrose L. Cheung, Katherine Schmidt, Brian Bateman, Adhar C. Manna

Dartmouth Scholarship

The expression of protein A (spa) is repressed by global regulatory loci sarA and agr. Although SarA may directly bind to the spa promoter to downregulate spa expression, the mechanism by which agr represses spa expression is not clearly understood. In searching for SarA homologs in the partially released genome, we found a SarA homolog, encoding a 250-amino-acid protein designated SarS, upstream of the spa gene. The expression of sarS was almost undetectable in parental strain RN6390 but was highly expressed in agr and sarA mutants, strains normally expressing high level of protein A. Interestingly, protein A …

A Disease By Any Other Name: Musings On The Concept Of A Genetic Disease, Kelly C. Smith Mar 2001

A Disease By Any Other Name: Musings On The Concept Of A Genetic Disease, Kelly C. Smith

Publications

What exactly is a genetic disease? For a phrase one hears on a daily basis, there has been surprisingly little analysis of the underlying concept. Medical doctors seem perfectly willing to admit that the etiology of disease is typically complex, with a great many factors interacting to bring about a given condition. On such a view, descriptions of diseases like cancer as genetic seem at best highly simplistic, and at worst philosophically indefensible. On the other hand, there is clearly some practical value to be had by classifying diseases according to their predominant cause when this can be accomplished …
