The Nutritive Value And Supplementation Of Ogi (Pap), The Major Nigerian Weaning Food, Elizabeth E. Gyaami

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nutritive value of ogi, which is the national weaning food in Nigeria, and to supplement it with indigenous foods that are easily produced in Nigeria, available in the local market, locally used, and within the economic capacity of the people. The protein content of corn and ogi was determined by the Kjeldahl method and the amino acid content was determined by ionexchange chromatography. The quality of the foods was evaluated by the rat growth method and the protein efficiency ratio (PER).

Ogi and com, from which ogi is made, contained essentially …

Intelligibility Of Speech Compared Through Two Limiter Compression Circuits, Lee M. Odell

Dissertations and Theses

Hearing aid manufacturers commonly engineer automatic gain control (AGC) circuits which are aimed at reducing sound tolerance problems and improving speech intelligibility among wearers. The most common type of AGC engineered is one utilizing a fast attack time. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of both fast and slow attack times on the intelligibility of speech. Twenty-four normal hearing subjects listened to sixty pre-recorded sentences through two types of hearing aid circuits. Thirty sentences were modified by a fast attack AGC circuit, and thirty sentences were modified by a slow attack AGC. The subjects marked one of …

Comparative Evaluation Of Health Delivery Projects Serving The Navajo Population, Navajo Health Authority

Native Health Database Full Text

This is the final report of a comparative financial analysis contracted by the Navajo Nation, Navajo Health Authority. The analysis included the following health care units and facilities: 1) Project Hope, Ganado, Arizona; 2) Tuba City Service Unit; 3) Chinle Service Unit; and 4) Monument Valley Indian Hospital. The purpose of the study was to identify the cost of each project's health service program and to compare costs where it was feasible.

Physicians And Surgeons--The Expanding Role Of The Physician's Assistant, Joseph S. Beeson

West Virginia Law Review

The shortage of health care professionals in West Virginia today is a matter of grave concern, especially to inhabitants of rural areas where professional medical care is often nonexistent. Statistics are indicative of the problem, but do not reveal the entire picture. For example, in the United States today, there are approximately 171 physicians per 100,000 population. In West Virginia, each 100,000 persons is served by only 111 physicians. This figure alone is cause enough for concern, but the seriousness of the situation is more accurately indicated by the distribution of the physician population. West Virginia is primarily a rural …

Surgical Treatment Of The Upper Extremity In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Charles L. Mcdowell

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

All surgical procedures designed to preserve or improve function in the extremities, whether in rheumatoid arthritis or not, must consider the functional emphasis of the upper extremity as compared to the lower extremity. The upper extremity has, as its primary goal, mobility and prehension, whereas in the lower extremity, stability is the most important goal, mobility the next in order of importance, and prehension the least important. For example, the feet fulfill a need for stability with very little requirement for prehension, but the hand is more an instrument for prehension and there is less need to consider stability. I …

Viruses And The Conntective Tissue Diseases, Morris Ziff

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

A number of observations in the last few years have attracted attention to the possibility of viral infection in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). One of these is the occurrence of interwoven tubular structures, usually in the endothelial cells of the kidney but also in the lymphocytes and in fibroblasts when SLE skin fibroblasts are cultured. These tubular structures have resembled viruses (they were thought by their discoverers to be myxo- or paramyxoviruses), but it has been argued that they are not viruses because of their size and appearance and because they have been produced in tissue cultures from subjects who …

The "Three R'S" Of Delayed Hypersensitivity, David Horwitz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Delayed hypersensitivity is one of several immune responses initiated by thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes. The mononuclear infiltrate of delayed hypersensitivity is a collaborative phenomenon between T lymphocytes and monocytes. This collaboration can be separated into components which I have chosen to call the "three R's" of delayed hypersensitivity. In this discussion I will define these "three R's" and examine the usefulness of this concept in clinical medicine.

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: Early Diagnosis, Management, And Prognosis, John J. Calabro

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the major chronic rheumatic disorder of childhood. It affects as many as 250,000 American children and is slightly more common in girls than boys.

Arteriography Of Cerebrovascular Disease, Frederick S. Vines

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The importance of complete angiographic studies in patients suspected of extracranial vascular disease has been emphasized. Examples of a variety of lesions of the intracranial and extracranial circulation have been shown. It is important that the angiographer obtain adequate visualization of the circulation cephalad to the aortic arch with awareness of the type of lesion and technical problems that may be encountered. It is only in this way that further understanding of the "stroke syndrome" can be attained with appropriate therapy.

The Neuro-Ophthalmology Of Cerebrovascular Disease, John W. Harbison

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The neuro-ophthalmology of cerebrovascular disease is a vast plain of neuro-ophthalmic vistas, encompassing virtually all areas of disturbances of the eye-brain mechanism. This paper will be restricted to those areas of the neuro-ophthalmology of cerebrovascular disease which one might consider advances in its clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Medical Management Of Cerebral Vascular Disease, William K. Hass

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The judicious mixture of surgical therapy and prophylactic therapy with a safe platelet antiaggregant appears at this time to be the best combination of approaches to the axiom: The best time to treat a stroke is before it happens.

Advances In The Surgical Treatment Of Patients With Extracranial Cerebral Vascular Disease, Thoralf M. Sundt Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Since the subject of surgery for carotid artery occlusive disease is too broad to be covered in its entirety, we will dwell primarily on some results of cerebral blood flow measurements and electroencephalograms performed during this procedure, their meaning and relationship to states of cerebral ischemia, and some controversial aspects of the surgery. An understanding of cerebral hemodynamics and the tolerance of neural tissue to ischemia is of major importance to any surgeon or physician dealing with this illness.

Continuous Intracranial Pressure Monitoring In Patients With Brain Injury: Technique And Application, John K. Vries

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Continuous ICP monitoring using the hollow screw technique has proven itself simple, safe, and reliable. The obvious advantage of continuous ICP monitoring is to provide early warning of developing mass lesions before clinical signs appear and to assess the effectiveness of therapy directed at brain edema. Its most important use, however, may be that it permits the use of depressant medications in these patients. Many of these patients have a marked tendency toward hyperthermia, severe hyperventilation, and erratic blood pressure swings. These tendencies can be most difficult to control with conventional treatment regimens. By sedating these patients, however, it is …
