Stability, Packaging, Storage, And Sterilization Of A Medicated Dry Foam, Armen Gostanian

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The basic unmedicated formula consists of dextran, sorbitol, Miranol 2 MCA Modified, and water. The major advantages of the film are 1) fast release rates, 2) ease of application to denuded skin without aggravation, and 3) lack of necessity for removal, hence no aggravation. However, it is extremely sensitive to moisture and elevated temperatures which is a major disadvantage. Excessive humidity will solubilize the film or make it too tacky to handle while very low humidity causes the film to lose its flexibility. Also, elevated temperatures remove moisture from the film and cause it to lose flexibility much as with …

An Evaluation Of Centrifuged Vs Electronically Determined Hematocrits In Assessing The Degree Of Polycythemia In Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease, Marsha Rene Jones

Theses and Dissertations

Secondary polycythemia is defined as an absolute erythrocytosis caused by an enhanced stimulation of red blood cell production. One of the most common methods of monitoring the degree of polycythemia is the measurement of the hematocrit. The hematocrit is the measurement of the volume of red blood cells.expressed as a percentage of the volume of whole blood in a sample. This measurement is usually done using one of two methods: (1) the Coulter Model S® or (2) the centrifuged micro-hematocrit method. However, we have noted a significant difference in the hematocrit values determined by these two methods when the hematocrits …

Metastatic Patterns And Functional Disability In Disseminated Breast Carcinoma, Stephen Adam Gudas

Theses and Dissertations

Thirty female outpatients with metastatic breast carcinoma were evaluated using two operational models constructed for the purpose of assessing and assigning a quantitative score for (A) extent of metastatic disease and (B) level of functional disability. These patients were drawn from the population of patients with disseminated breast carcinoma attending the medical oncology clinics at the Medical College of Virginia Tumor Clinics for a 49 day period in 1975. The data from this patient sample were used to test several hypotheses.

Each patient underwent an initial screening procedure designed to clearly identify those patients with disseminated disease. This was followed …

Pulmonary Mycosis In Chicks, เล็ก ธนสุกาญจน์

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Fungi isolated from Pulmonary Mycosis in chicks in Thailand are Candida albicans, Aspergillus spp. and Mucor spp. Candida albicans was isolated from the infected chicks 3-4 weeks old. These birds were raised in the infected pens which served as the resevoir of the disease. Pulmonary Mucormycosis and Pulmonary Aspergillosis occurred in the chicks 1-10 days old. It was characterized by gasping and breathing by mouth. Death occurred due to physiological obstruction of the air passages in the lungs. One colony of Mucor spp. was isolated from one unused paper box out of 20 boxes. These boxes were used for transportation …

Perception And Production Of /R/ In Four-Year-Old Children: A Comparison Of Two Points In Time, Mary Pamela Hauser

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The literature suggests a relationship between the perception and production of speech sounds. Data has been gathered from normal and sound-defective children who were three years, five years, and older. No comparative research has been done with four-year-old children. Furthermore, no longitudinal data has been gathered on a single group of children. This study was essentially a replication of the Bronsema (1974) research. Specifically, it compared the self-perception and other-perception performances of Bronsema's research population, in 1975, the year following the Bronsema study. The examiner tested the children, who were now four years old, and compared the 1975 inter-group results, …

The PSLST was designed to quickly identify those preschool children who appear to be in need of speech and/or language evaluation or intervention. Specifically, the present investigation sought to determine the proportion of children with speech and/or language problems not detected by the screening test and the proportion of children without speech and language problems who failed the PSLST.

Recent Role Changes Made By Women And The Effect These Changes Have Had On Marital Adjustment, Nancy L. Scolar

Dissertations and Theses

Sex Roles, A History. From Insects to humans, gender is associated with specific behavior. Below the mammals there are sex differences in dominance that are correlated with androgen function on the inside, and with certain types of stimulation on the outside. In higher forms, the increasing complexity of brain development means increasing capacity for modification through experience and learned modes of adaptation to the environment.

By the time the primate level is reached, social influences have become so intricate and compelling as to clearly foreshadow culture.

According to Elizabeth Janeway in her article Reflections on the History of Women, in …

Recovery From Stuttering In A Sample Of Elementary School Children, Carol Deno Kimball

Dissertations and Theses

Several studies have been undertaken to determine the incidence of recovery from stuttering; however, the results of these investigations are not reliable due to methodological limitations. For the most part, ex-post-facto recall judgements on the parts of adults or parents of young children were relied upon in gathering data for the research. It would appear that a requisite factor in determining incidence of recovery from stuttering should be the use of a formal instrument which would quantify the auditory and visual aspects of speaking behavior to determine the presence or absence of stuttering.

The primary purpose of this study was …

Sclerosing Cholangitis: Surgical Significance, C. Grodsinsky, M. A. Block, B. E. Brush

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The authors' experience with the rare entity of sclerosing cholangitis suggests that several anatomical patterns of involvement of the extrahepatic biliary tract may occur. The involvement may include the intraluminal ducts segmentally or diffusely, or the process may primarily be external to the ducts as pericholedochitis. It may or may not represent one component of a systemic disease, particulady autoimmune disease. Although involvement may be diffuse, progression may be slow and compatible with many years of life. Long time followup is essential before any value can be assigned to a given modality of treatment. Carcinoma of the ductal system may …
