Local Control Of Pulmonary Resistance And Lung Compliance, Robert L. Coon

Dissertations (1934 -)

This study originated as a study of the effects of hypoxia and of various pharmacological agents on the pulmonary vasculature of the left lower lobe of the canine lung. Because the bronchomotor tone might also be affected, particularly by the pharmacological agents, it was decided as a secondary objective to also measure the effects of these agents on bronchomotor tone. It quickly became apparent that this was not as simple as it sounded. As no totally satisfactory method existed, a method of studying pulmonary mechanics in the left lower lobe in situ had to be developed. The effects of pump …

The Effects Of Legalized Abortion In England, J. Vincent O'Sullivan

The Linacre Quarterly

Dr. O'Sullivan traces the process leading to the passage of the 1968 British Abortion Act and the consequences of that act with a view to helping the American medical profession learn from the British experience.

This article discusses the effect that legalized abortion has had upon the people, and particularly the physicians, in England. Although New York State, among others, has now legalized abortion, it has not had sufficient experience with it to adequately assess its effects. But the English have had sufficient experience with it, and its effects there indicate that attempts to legalize abortion demand close watching.

A Religious Pacifist Looks At Abortion, Gordon C. Zahn

The Linacre Quarterly

From the standpoint of the religious pacifist, Professor Zahn sees "elementary human rights" beginning at the "moment of conception marking the beginning of the individual's life process, " and argues against abortion from this point.

Life Control And Death Control, Definitions And The Dignity Of Man, Charles Carroll

The Linacre Quarterly

Rev. Carroll investigates the lack of acceptable, precise definitions of life, death, man in the discussions of life control and death control. The Christian must insist, he concludes, that such definitions and resultant standards of conduct safeguard the dignity and destiny of man.

The Development Of Electrophysiological Techniques Allowing "In Situ" Measurement Of Electrical Changes Within Smooth Muscle Cells Of Mesenteric Micro-Vessels, William J. Willems

Master's Essays (1922 - )

The primary objective or this study is essentially to acquire further knowledge of the factors involved in the nervous and humoral control of vascular smooth muscle tone. The relative importance of the nervous and endogenous vasotropic humoral control or vasomotor tone under normal conditions as well as under conditions or hypotension can be evaluated, at least in part, by observing the electrical activity occurring in single vascular smooth muscle cells of the mesenteric microcirculation. This thesis describes: 1) the development of electrophysiological methods for the measurement of such activity in ''in situ" micro-vessels with circulation and innervation intact, and 2) …

An Evaluation Of The Alumina Extraction Procedure For Determination Of Plasma Catecholamine Levels And A Study Of Plasma Binding Of Catecholamines, Greta Toni Swart

Master's Essays (1922 - )

The most commonly used method for the chemical analyses of the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine present in biological tissues and blood plasma is the tri-hydroxy indole technique initially developed by Lund. Throughout the literature, great variation is reported in the ability to recover epinephrine and norepinephrine from plasma by adsorbing the amines onto aluminum oxide (alumina). The most frequently reported average value for such recovery is 75 percent for an alumina column procedure similar to that used in this laboratory.

The Esophageal Propulsive Force: Esophageal Response To Acute Obstruction, Daniel H. Winship, F. Frank Zboralske

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

The response of the normal human esophagus to an obstructing intraluminal bolus was investigated and compared to the response evoked by transient intraluminal distention. A balloon, immobilized within the esophagus by external attachment to a force transducer, was inflated with from 3 to 25 ml of air for from 3 to 210 sec. Pressure phenomena occurring in the esophagus were simultaneously recorded from the body of the esophagus above and below the balloon.

Transient distention (5 sec or less) with small volumes (5 ml or less) often evoked a secondary peristaltic wave in the esophagus distal to the balloon, but …

Studies Of The Mechanism By Which Chronic Metabolic Acidosis Augments Urinary Calcium Excretion In Man, Jacob Lemann Jr., John R. Litzow, Edward J. Lennon

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

We carried out clearance studies in nine healthy adults and four patients with hypoparathyroidism before and after inducing stable metabolic acidosis with either NH₄Cl or acetazolamide. Clearances were repeated in seven normal subjects and three of the patients 3 days after stopping these agents.

During acidosis in the normal subjects, serum ultrafilterable calcium concentration rose significantly, but inulin clearance fell to a greater extent, so that the calculated filtered load of calcium fell significantly. Despite this, urinary calcium excretion rose. Urinary calcium excretion remained elevated in the recovery studies when the serum ultrafilterable calcium concentration and filtered load …

The Effect Of Treatment Of Acidosis On Calcium Balance In Patients With Chronic Azotemic Renal Disease, John R. Litzow, Jacob Lemann Jr., Edward J. Lennon

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Small but statistically significant negative calcium balances were found in each of eight studies in seven patients with chronic azotemic renal disease when stable metabolic acidosis was present. Only small quantities of calcium were excreted in the urine, but fecal calcium excretion equaled or exceeded dietary intake. Complete and continuous correction of acidosis by NaHCO₃ therapy reduced both urinary and fecal calcium excretion and produced a daily calcium balance indistinguishable from zero.

Apparent acid retention was found throughout the studies during acidosis, despite no further reduction of the serum bicarbonate concentration. The negative calcium balances that accompanied acid retention …
