Effects Of Biofeedback-Aided Relaxation On The Psychological Stress Symptoms Of College Students, Richard Fehring Nov 1983

Effects Of Biofeedback-Aided Relaxation On The Psychological Stress Symptoms Of College Students, Richard Fehring

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of Benson's relaxation technique (BRT) with Benson's technique augmented with GSR biofeedback (i.e., biofeedback-aided relaxation, BAR) on the psychological stress symptoms of well college students. Seventy-eight normotensive college students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the BRT group, the BAR group, and a control group. The BRT and BAR students were asked to practice their respective relaxation technique daily for an eight-week period. Pre-and postintervention, all subjects were administered a state-anxiety inventory and a profile-of-mood state (POMS) test. Posttest analysis indicated that the BAR group had significantly lower …


The Effects Of Triethyltin Bromide On Red Cell And Brain Cyclic Amp-Dependent Protein Kinases, Kevin R. Siebenlist, Fumito Taketa Sep 1983

The Effects Of Triethyltin Bromide On Red Cell And Brain Cyclic Amp-Dependent Protein Kinases, Kevin R. Siebenlist, Fumito Taketa

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Triethyltin bromide activates the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases of human red cell membranes and of bovine brain. Additions of 25-500 microM triethyltin to red cell ghosts resulted in enhanced phosphorylation of ghost proteins. When added to partially purified cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases from red cell ghosts or bovine brain, stimulation of the phosphorylation of calf thymus histone was observed. The enhancement of kinase activity was due to release of catalytic subunits from the intact protein kinase. Brief exposure of the partially purified enzymes to triethyltin, followed by DE52 chromatography, resulted in elution profiles for regulatory and catalytic subunits that were …

Physical Fitness Of Physical Therapy Students, Dennis Sobush, Richard Fehring Aug 1983

Physical Fitness Of Physical Therapy Students, Dennis Sobush, Richard Fehring

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

Physical fitness norms do not exist for physical therapists or physical therapy students. This lack, in part, reflects the complexity of physical fitness and the scarcity of data reported on physical fitness norms of other populations. This report describes the methods used and the results obtained for 16 physical fitness factors of 98 female and 13 male physical therapy upperclassmen and discusses the implications of physical fitness in the practice of physical therapy. Means, standard deviations, ranges, and percentile rankings are given by sex for each of the 16 fitness factors. The purpose of this study was to begin to …

Supervised Versus Independent Student Laboratories, Luther C. Kloth, Mary Ann Morrison Feb 1983

Supervised Versus Independent Student Laboratories, Luther C. Kloth, Mary Ann Morrison

Physical Therapy Faculty Research and Publications

The purpose of this study was to determine if classroom laboratory time could be reduced in a basic physical agents course. Fifty-seven junior physical therapy students were randomly assigned to three laboratory sections. All students received identical lectures, demonstrations, course materials, and laboratory manuals. The control group, Section 1, received supervision and assistance during laboratory practice. Students in Section 2 and Section 3 worked independent of instructor supervision but could receive assistance from the instructor in an adjacent room. Students in Section 2 were provided with feedback following periodic assessment by the instructor. Attitudinal questionnaire responses indicated that the students …
