Effect Of Between-Meal Eating On Stomach Emptying Time, Bernice Peterson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

As yet there is little agreement among health workers as to whether the practice of between-meal eating is harmful, beneficial, or indifferent in its influence on health. Studies which have been done heretofore on between-meal eating have been concerned with the effects on growth, appetite, daily nutrient intake, regularity, body metabolism, overweight, work efficiency, and dental caries. It appears that the possible physiological effects of between-meal eating have been only partially explored. The problem of this study was the effect of eating between meals on stomach emptying time.

The effect of between-meal eating on the emptying time of the stomach …

Studies Of Cardiovascular Energy Changes Occurring With Drug Administration Under Normal Acid Base Balance And During Hypercapnia, Ischemia, And Metabolic Acidosis, Earl E. Aldinger

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Reflex autonomic changes occurring with the use of cardiovascular drugs may, as a side effect, increase cardiac work and oxygen demand. Improvement of coronary flow and/or a decrease in myocardial work load without increasing oxygen utilization are the desired effects of drugs used in the treatment of coronary insufficiency. The improvement of cardiac function is the purpose of drugs used in the treatment of heart failure. In either case the therapeutic effect may be accomplished through a direct myocardial effect and/or a decrease in cardiac pressure work load through extracardiac action. Through animal experimentation and patient correlation of the many …

The Level Of Lactic Dehydrogenase Activity As An Indicator Of The Growth Of Influenza Virus In The Embryonate Egg, Richard Kelly, Donald Greiff

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

The relation, between time and the levels of lactic dehydrogenase activity of chorioallantoic fluids from embryonate eggs infected with the PR8 strain of influenza virus were determined quantitatively. The mean values, based on 10 determinations for each time interval, followed a sigmoid curve, with the greatest rates of change occurring between 48 and 72 hours after the inoculation of virus. The activities of the fluids from infected eggs at the 72nd hour or later were approximately 18 times higher than those from non-infected eggs. Based on the data above, a qualitative test for the presence of infection with influenza virus …

The Assay And Properties Of Labile Factor (Factor V), Armand J. Quick

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Human oxalated plasma stored at 4° C. until the prothrombin time is increased beyond 60 sec. is a reliable medium for assaying labile factor (factor V) because its response to added labile factor corresponds quantitatively to that of plasma from patients with congenital deficiency of this factor. Such an agreement is not obtained with plasma stored at 37°C. The stability of labile factor is closely associated with ionized calcium. The addition of thrombin to fresh oxalated plasma causes an apparent hyperactivity of labile factor, but this is completely removed by adsorption with Ca₃(PO)₂. Oxalated plasma when …

The Effects Of X-Rays And Beta Rays (Tritium) On The Growth Of Rickettsia Mooseri And Rickettsia Akari In Embryonate Eggs, Donald Greiff, E. L. Powers, Walter E. Kisieleski, Henry Pinkerton

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

The growth of Rickettsia mooseri was accelerated and quantitatively increased in embryonate eggs containing tritium oxide at levels of 180, 90, and 45 mc./egg during the growth period. The eggs of a group containing 22.5 mc./egg showed only a slight increase in the rate of growth of organisms; the infections in the eggs of a group given 11.2 mc./egg did not differ significantly from those of the control group. On the other hand, growth of R. akari was inhibited in embryonate eggs containing tritium oxide at levels of 180, 90, and 45 mc./egg, and partially inhibited in groups containing 22.5 …

The Effects Of Reserpine On Adrenal Responses To Nicotine And On Cardiovascular Responses To Exogenous Epinephrine And Norepinephrine, Ervin E. Bagwell

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Since the isolation or reserpine by Bein et al (1) in 1952, there have been numerous investigations dealing with the pharmacological and physiological properties of this drug. A good proportion of this work has dealt with the effects of reserpine on the function of the sympatho-adrenal system. The present investigation has two primary objectives and is therefore divided into two chapters. The first chapter is concerned with a study of the effects of previous reserpine treatment on the responsiveness of the adrenal medulla to chemical stimulation and the reactivity of the cardiovascular system to this stimulation. In chapter two an …

A Study Of The Influence Of Acid-Base Changes On Myocardial And Vasopressor Responses To Arterenol And Epinephrine, Earl E. Aldinger

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

It is well known that when the body is subjected to various stress conditions there is almost always a reflex release of certain neurohumoral substances in an attempt to compensate for these abnormal conditions. Acid-base changes, for example, are some of the most frequent occurring under these conditions. As mentioned throughout this thesis there is a direct correlation between acidosis end extreme hypotension or shock. The objective of these experiments was to investigate and determine the influence of acidosis on the cardiovascular response to the sympatho-adrenal hormones, arterenol and epinephrine, which are released in large amounts during shock. These studies …

The Comparative Ultrastructure Of The Choroid Plexus In Certain Animal Species, Norman M. Case

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Employing the electron microscope, the writer studied the ultra-structure of the choroid plexus of the lateral and the 4th ventricles of the brain in seven species of animals comparatively. No such extensive comparative investigation has been made before with this instrument. The animals represent, in the main, species which have served previously, both in physiological and light microscopical studies on this organ, and consist of several specimens each of the frog, the opossum, the hamster, the guinea pig, the rat, the rabbit and the dog.

Aortic Graft Substitutes; Experimental Use Of Peritoneum, External Oblique Fascia And Inert Polyethelene Film In Bridging Aortic Defects In Dogs., John T. Sullivan Jr.

Master's Essays (1922 - )

Th® basic problem, to which the following pages are devoted, was to determine the feasibility of autogenous peritoneum, external oblique fascia and inert polyethylene film as aortic grafts In doge. Today, the most successful and acceptable graft la homogeneous aorta obtained from Blood Vessel Banks. The thought was entertained that if a substitute for homogeneous aortic grafts could be found, especially if readily available, non-vital, or, if synthetic. Inexpensive and plentiful, a new approach to vascular grafting could be developed, many experimental uses of the ^improbable11 have resulted in clues to new approaches to scientific problems.
