Vaginal Colonization With Staphylococcus Aureus In Healthy Women: A Review Of Four Studies, Mary Guinan, Bruce B. Dan, Richard J. Guidotti, Arthur L. Reingold, George P. Schmid, Elena J. Bettoli, Joseph G. Lossick, Kathryn N. Shands, Mark A. Kramer, Nancy T. Hargrett, Roger L. Anderson, Claire V. Broome

School of Public Health Faculty Research

Four studies assessed the frequency of vaginal Staphylococcus aureus colonization in healthy women and associated risk factors. An association was found between S. aureus vaginal colonization and colonization at the labia minora and the anterior nares. Significant risk factors associated with an increased risk of vaginal S. aureus in at least one study were a history of genital herpes simplex infection, insertion of tampons without an applicator, and the use of Rely (Procter & Gamble) tampons. The use of systemic antibiotics within 2 weeks of the vaginal culture decreased the risk of recovery of S. aureus. The overall frequency …

The Significance Of Fever In Infants Less Than Three Months Old : A Retrospective Review Of One Year's Experience At Boston City Hospital's Pediatric Walk-In Clinic, Paula Chandler Schlesinger

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The hospital records of all outpatient infants 92 days of age or less with rectal temperature ≥ 100° F and/or chief complaint of fever who presented to Boston City Hospital's Pediatric Walk-In Clinic (PWIC) in the year 1981 were reviewed. There were 187 total study visits. The rectal temperature (T) in the PWIC was ≥ 100°F in 132 visits; half of these visits (66) were for T ≥ 101°F. The number of patients presenting with T ≥ 101°F increased with each month of age. The majority of study visits (56.1%) were for mild, self-limited illnesses; 14.4% of all visits were …

The Effect Of Cardiac Rehabilitation On Blood Lipids, Carol Lynn Bartholomew

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The effect of cardiac rehabilitation on blood lipids was studied in a sample of seventeen male participants of the Greenville Hospital Center cardiac rehabilitation program. These subjects all suffered myocardial infarctions, but none had surgery to by-pass the obstructed coronary circulation. Paired values were obtained for triglyceride, serum cholesterol and HDL cholesterol before, and after the exercise program. The time span between the before-exercise and after-exercise values ranged from five to thirty-one weeks. The differences in the paired values were analyzed by the t-test. No significant decrease occurred in triglyceride or serum cholesterol. A significant increase occurred in HDL cholesterol.

The Effect Of The Spray And Stretch Technique On The Silent Period Duration Of The Masseter Muscle, George W. Aaron Jr.

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Fluori-Methane vapocoolant spray, as used in the spray and stretch technique, on decreasing a prolonged silent period duration in the masseter muscle. Ten subjects were selected, all of whom were identified as having masseter muscle dysfunction and/or spasm. The population consisted of two males and eight females, whose ages ranged from 24-58. The silent period duration of the masseter was measured following elicitation of the jaw-jerk reflex. Five readings were taken and the mean silent period duration was calculated. All means longer than 35 milliseconds were considered prolonged. An …

Reported Animal Rabies In Arkansas: 1950-1981, Gary A. Heidt

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Reported animal rabies in Arkansas is reviewed for the years 1950-81 . Total cases ranged from 44 in 1969 to 332 in 1979, with a mean of 154. Domestic animals accounted for 72.5% of the total cases until 1961-63 and then declined to 15.8% from 1964-81. This switch from domestic to wildlife rabies corresponded to a similar trend in nationally reported rabies and was probably due to increased public awareness and the vaccination of domestic dogs and cats. Over the 31 year period a total of 18 species of mammals has been implicated in reported rabies (individual species of foxes, …

Worms In Cattle In Western Australia's South West, G C De Chaneet

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

In the early 1970s, when beef cattle numbers increased in the South West, worms came to be recognised as the cause of one of the most significant health problems affecting production. The disease ostertagiosis, caused by the brown stomach worm, Ostertagia ostertagi, started to occur regularly, but the anthelmintics available at the time were limited in their efficiency against the parasite. Because little was known of the epidemiology of ostertagiosis under local conditions, recommendations for control were based on observations made elsewhere in Australia and overseas. These were unsuited to local conditions and did not provide adequate control.

Communication Development And Its Disorders: A Psycholinguistic Perspective, Rhea Paul, Donald J. Cohen

Communication Disorders Faculty Publications

There is a reciprocal relationship between the study of language disorders and research in normal language development. Recent studies in normal acquisition have led to a model of language development that includes not only linguistic achievements, but the development of social and cognitive abilities that lay the basis for the transition from prelinguistic communication to the use of conventional forms. This model has been applied to the study of developmental disorders of language learning. Such a model allows the more puzzling disorders of language development, such as childhood aphasia and primary autism, to be placed in a framework that predicts …

Extended Report Of Interrelationships Between Rorschach And Mmpi Scores For Female College Students, Richard H. Dana, Brian Bolton

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

26 Klopfer scores and 6 Rorschach ratio scores were correlated with 12 MMPI standard scores for 95 female college students. Few statistically significant relationships between the Rorschach and MMPI were obtained. It was concluded that the Rorschach and the MMPI measure different variables in a normal population of female college students.

Differential Sensitivity To Tonal Frequency And To The Rate Of Modulation Of Broad-Band Noise By Hearing-Impaired Listeners, Charles Craig Formby

Independent Studies and Capstones

This dissertation examined whether a hearing impairment of the auditory end-organ has the same or a differential effect on the place and periodicity processes. Differential sensitivities for four normally hearing listeners and for both ears of five patients with unilateral Meniere’s disease were measured for tonal frequency and rate of sinusoidally amplitude-modulated noise at common frequencies and rates of the stimulus.
