A retrospective study of 3,882 Diagnosis-Related Group [DRG] inpatients, of whom 828 received nutrition intervention, during the time period of January 1 through December 31, 1988, was conducted on a 240-bed acute-care, medical/surgical, community-based hospital. The purpose of the research was threefold: [1] to determine the intensity of nutrition intervention [i.e., total time required by a dietitian or dietitians' assistant for basic and non-basic care over the patient's entire length of stay [LOS], [2] to determine the number of DRG inpatients who received nutrition intervention along with the top Medical Disease Categories [MCDs] and DRGs, and [3] to explore the …

Masters Theses
The effects of carnitine supplementation on AFB 1 toxicity in male Sprague-Dawley rats were studied. Rats were fed Purina Rat Chow with or without camitine supplement for 6 weeks. In Experiment 1, the rats (n=20) were divided into 4 groups, namely non-supplemented control (NSC), nonsupplemented AFB 1 (NSA), camitine supplemented control (CSC) and camitine supplemented AFBl (CSA) groups. The NSA and CSA groups were given an oral dose of [3H]AFB1 (1mg/kg) 6 h before sacrificing. In Experiment 2, the rats (n= 10) were divided into NSA and CSA groups and were sacrificed 24 h post-AFB 1 administration. Concentrations …
