The Effect Of The Shave On Infection In Maternity Patients, Doris Christine Bethea

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to find out if the shave routinely received by maternity patients could be limited to the perineal area without increasing the incidence of infection among these patients. The experimental method, with the parallel group technique and a single variable, was used.

The study was conducted at two hospitals; the White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles, California, called Hospital A; and the Washington Sanitarium and Hospital in Takoma Park, Maryland, referred to as Hospital B. Data were collected on ninety clinic patients at Hospital A and on two-hundred and one private patients at Hospital B. …

A Review Of Drug Addiction And A Study Of Its Relation To Carbohydrate Metabolism, Eppie Chung Hartsuiker

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The specter of addiction eventually involves everyone of the community. It is a three-fold problem of socio-economic, psychological, and physiological factors. The least understood is the physiological or biochemical aspect of addiction.

It has been postulated that an upset in carbohydrate metabolism may be a biochemical cause of addiction. Several avenues were employed to investigate this possible cause of addiction.

1. A diet survey was conducted and revealed a greater consumption of refined carbohydrates, confections and alcoholic beverages in addicts.

2. Five-hour oral glucose tolerance tests were performed on 7 addicts and 12 non-addicts. These tests revealed that there were decreased glucose …

Aorto-Enteric Fistula Following Abdominal Aorta Surgery, Arnold A. Michals

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

For the first time sixteen cases of these aorto-enteric fistulae that were subjected to surgical intervention have been tabulated. Twelve of these had definitive surgery either immediately or eventually. The definitive procedures are also tabulated.

An attempt was made to produce a fistula in dogs. Of twelve dogs, one died six months postoperatively of massive rectal hemorrhage due to an aortoduodenal fistula that followed the implantation of a Teflon vessel graft into the abdominal aorta. The cause of …

Application Of Knowledge Of Medications By Senior Students In A Selected School Of Nursing, Patricia H. Okimi

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The problem arose from the need to study the present method of pharmacology instruction in a selected school of nursing. "How much knowledge of medications do selected senior students have, and how do they apply their knowledge in the administration of medications?"

For this study, the normative survey approach was used as the method of research. Eleven senior students of nursing engaged in the administration of medications, as team leaders, were observed and questioned on two different occasions during one quarter of their school year. The tool of research used to collect data was an observation code sheet developed for …

Prediction Of Academic Success In The College Of Forestry, Ronald Skeen Peterson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The College of Forest, Range and Wildlife Management (hereafter referred to as the College of Forestry) at Utah State University has been concerned for some time with the problem of selecting from the applicants to their school the ones whom they think will be able to complete the requirements for graduation. The large number of freshman students placed on probation at the end of the fall quarter and of succeeding quarters each year fives some idea of the magnitude of the problem. It is not unusual for 40 or 50 percent of the entering freshmen to be in this category.

A Comparison Of Rectal And Axillary Temperatures On One Hundred Selected Newborn Infants, Marlene Van Puymbrouck

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This study was conducted on one hundred full-term normal newborn infants to compare body temperatures as obtained by axilla and rectal measures and to find out which measure recorded the highest temperature. Three time periods of axillary measurement and three time periods of the three depths of rectal measure were considered. The three time periods were (1) one and one-half, (2) three, and (3) five minutes. The three depths of rectal insertion were (1) insertion of the bulb end of the thermometer just beyond the sphincter, (2) 2.5 cm., and (3) 5 cm. into the rectum.

A Study Of The Bacteriological Effectiveness Of Oral Thermometer Procedures In Three Selected Hospitals, Esther Mae Rose

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Because pathogens such as streptococcus and staphylococcus have been transferred in many hospitals, the source of the infections is of concern to doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel. As shown by the review of literature, good techniques are necessary to stop the spread of disease.

It was the purpose of this study to investigate one facet of patient safety by: (1) the culture of thermometers ready for use in three selected hospitals; (2) to determine the effectiveness of the Group, Individual, and Central Supply methods of disinfection currently practiced in the three selected hospitals.

Guided Abduction In The Treatment Of Congenital Hip Dislocations, Alfred B. Webber

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Guided abduction has been well accepted in Southern California as an effective method in the initial treatment of congenital hip dislocation. Since 1953, when this procedure was first instituted, no report has been made in the world literature describing its application and the results obtained. One of the purposes of this communication has been to outline the stages in treatment and show some of the results obtained.

The early group of congenital hip dislocations represents a difficult problem. It has been shown as a result of this study that guided abduction is an effective way to control the reduction of …
