Comparison Of Root Surfaces In Endodontic Lesions, Periodontic Lesions And Normal Human Teeth, Robert W. Hanson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The healing potential of an endodontic lesion is usually greater than a periodontic lesion (Simon et al. 1972; Hiatt 1977). Periodontal regeneration places particular emphasis on the soft tissue-tooth interface (Stahl 1977). This interface was examined in fifteen extracted human teeth.

The teeth were divided into three groups: (1) periapical lesions, (2) periodontal lesions, and (3) healthy periodontal tissue. Criteria were established for each group. Freshly extracted human teeth meeting the criteria were fixed in gluteraldehyde or paraformaldehyde. The teeth were then selected for surface observation or cracked for cross sectional examination. The teeth were post fixed, dehydrated, and coated …

Tensile Properties Of Stainless Steel Orthodontic Wire, Elbert E. Jackson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Ten types of .020 inch stainless steel wire were compared using a tensile test. The wires were tested in the as-received condition and after heat treatment at 750°F for eleven minutes. The data were then analyzed statistically using the general linear hypothesis.

In the as-received condition each of four mechanical properties--elastic modulus, 0.2 per cent yield strength, tensile strength, and percent elongation--was found to vary significantly from one type to another.

When subjected to heat treatment, the elastic modulus proved to be the most stable of the four properties, changing only slightly in three cases. There was no significant change …

Effect Of Storage On The Elastic Properties Of The Red Cell Membrane, Caroline M. Ballweg

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The goal for the preservation of blood is the optimal survival and function of the stored blood after reinfusion. In vivo means of assessing viability after storage would be ideal but these survival studies are expensive, involved, and not without danger. Thus, in vitro means have been sought to evaluate preservation. The most frequently used of the in vitro tests for predicting red blood cell survival is deformability.

This study applies a recently developed method of measuring deformability to assess changes in stored blood. In brief, the method involves drawing a "mini" unit of blood from each of three normal …

Testicular Degeneration Following Aflatoxin B1 Administration In Rats, Subhkij Angsubhakorn, Natth Bhamarapravati, Kanda Romruen, Virat Prangprakma, Somphong Sahaphong, Witaya Thamavit

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Administration of the semisynthetic diet containing aflatoxin B1 at the level of 20 ppm for 4 wks induced testicular degeneration in the male Buffalo strain rats. Various degrees of seminiferous epithelial degeneration were observed and described by light microscopy. However, testes of rats that survived until the end of the experiment (32 wks) showed only slight thickening of the basement membrane and a decrease in diameter of the seminiferous tubules. This observations suggested that aflatoxin B1 had only a transient toxic effect on rat testes.

Utilization Of Dietetic Technicians In Hospitals, Elmer Beck

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

There is a shortage of educationally qualified dietetic technician personnel in the health care industry. The job opportunities for dietetic technicians exceed the supply. Because of this shortage and the need to deliver high quality nutritional care to individuals and groups, dietitians should function at the highest level of professional competency. To accomplish this goal requires delegating certain routine task functions to the dietetic technician.

The purpose of this research was to determine the degree of change between 1973 to 1977 in the willingness of dietitians to delegate task function to the dietetic technician. The instrument used to collect data …

A Study Of The Clinical Features Of Renal Papillary Necrosis, Jose Martinez

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Renal papillary necrosis is a disease entity that has been recognized since 1878. Today, one hundred years later, a considerable amount of knowledge has been gathered about its possible etiologies, associated conditions, pathological pic ture, clinical manifestations, radiological features and mode of treatment. Very little is known, however, about prognosis of this disease. The literature is deficient of prognostic studies that may help the clinician predict the course of patients with renal papillary necrosis. This study is aimed to provide some answers to questions in the area of natural history and clinical features of this disease.

Effects Of Cromolyn On Inflammatory Bowel Disease Of Childhood, Yvette Piovanetti

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Methods and Materials: Twelve children with CIBD (7 with CUC and 5 with Crohn's) entered a trial with Cromolyn Sodium. The patient groups consisted mostly of those who had been treated with steroids over a 1-year period without suppression of disease activity, and in whom steroids could not be tapered without exacerbation. On commencement of Cromolyn therapy, steroid dosages ranged from 5-60 mg. q.d. (mean dose 30 mg. q.d.). Multiple complications of steroid therapy were observed in this group. Linear growth retardation was exhibited by 5 patients, 2 with Crohn's and 3 with CUC. One of the patients with CUC …

A Descriptive Study Of The Relationship Between Age And Problems Expressed By Women Seeking Out-Patient Mental Health Services, Linda M. Rodgers, Joyce Carey

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study is to provide a descriptive analysis of the problems presented by a specific group of women seeking out-patient mental health treatment and to relate these problems to the ontogenetic (age-related) developmental issues presented in a study of the literature. The researcher's involvement in this area developed from interest in current literature on adult development, and a personal commitment to life-long growth and acceptance of the inherent changes. In order to investigate whether developmental issues exist for this group of women, and if so to describe them, two distinct age groups--the decades of the 20's and …

An Analysis Of Sex Role Bias In Clinician's Evaluations Of Client Behavior, Shari Paula Greenberg

Dissertations and Theses

This study investigated the effects of sex differences on clinical judgements. It was hypothesized that: l) clinicians will respond differently to aggressive, self-assertive, or dependent behavior, depending upon whether this behavior was performed by a man or a woman; 2) clinicians will have different treatment goals for a man and a woman who behaved in the same manner; 3) clinicians will describe the client engaged in aggressive, self-assertive, or dependent behavior differently, depending on the sex of the client; 4) clinicians will have different feelings towards men and women behaving in exactly the: same manner, and; 5) clinicians will rate …

The Effect Of Background Noise On Children's Selective Listening Behavior, Cathryn A. Chartier

Dissertations and Theses

This study investigated the effect of distracting linguistic background noise on children's ability to perform three-part commands. A total of twelve first grade subjects, six "normal" and six reading delayed, were individually administered a series of twenty, three-part commands. Each child performed once in quiet and once in a noise environment, and the performances in those two conditions were compared.

A Comparative Study Of The Expressive Preposition Usage Of Educable Mentally Retarded Children And Normals, Marie Deon Shope

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate which of 26 prepositions are acquired expressively by educable mentally retarded children. This study was designed to determine if there was a significant difference between the number of prepositions expressed by an EMR sample and those expressed by normals of similar mental age, and if the same prepositions were used by the two groups at given mental ages. The correlation between chronological age and the number of prepositions expressed by the EMR population was also investigated.

Locus Of Control, Knowledge Of Ethics, And Perceived Ethicality As Influenced By An Authority Figure, F. Matthew Mihelic, William G. Connolly

Faculty Publications

The present study investigated the relationship between a subject's locus of control, knowledge of psychological ethical research principles, and perceived ethicality of a psychological research proposal as influenced by an authority figure. Subjects were asked to judge the ethicality of a research proposal, which half were led to believe had been previously deemed unethical by an authority figure. No mention was made of the authority figure's viewpoint to the other subjects. The major finding was that the variability in ratings in ethicality of the research proposal tended to diminished from the no mention to the rejection manipulation in those of …

Development And Use Of A Phonological Recoding Strategy For A Short-Term Memory Task By Normal And Mentally Retarded Subjects, Mary Jo Bartels

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the presence or absence of a phonological recoding strategy in the mentally retarded population by using a memory matching exercise with visual stimuli. Pictures of common objects were divided into eight pictures with names that sound alike (homophonous) and eight with names that do not sound alike (non-homophonous). The null hypothesis tested was:

No statistically significant difference will be found between mentally retarded and normal subjects in the development and use of a phonological recoding strategy for a short-term memory task, when the subjects are matched for receptive vocabulary age.
