Comparative Anatomy Of The Vertebrate Skull, Joseph G. Greene

Bachelors’ Theses

This paper may be considered in the nature of preliminary or introductory work to another problem which suggested itself during the investigation of the comparative anatomy of the vertebrate skull. The suggested problem might be termed, "Why do certain animals exhibit skulls of a characteristic shape?"

The Health Of The School Child With Special Reference To Heart Cases, Annette G. West

Bachelors’ Theses

The first of the generally accepted objectives of education is health. The importance to the community of the health of its children can hardly be over-emphasized when it is fully realized that the children of to-day are the bread winners and the parents of to-morrow. The health of our children is the foundation upon which the welfare of the community depends. To conserve the health of the child is as much a function of the state as it is to conserve the natural resources. To investigate the evils that exist and to remedy all that may be remedied without transgressing …

The Forward Pass In Football, Francis J. Deig

Bachelors’ Theses

In the past decade, the forward pass has been looked upon as merely a threat play. It was used only as a last minute attempt to score. But with the change of the style of play, the forward pass has become an almost inevitable part of the game.

In this Thesis, I have attempted to show that the rise of the pass was not meteoric, but rather that it was a result of a long process.

I have gone into detail regarding fundamentals of passing, forward pass offense, forward pass defense and in conclusion, have given my aspect of the …

Considerations Of The Spleen, Roy P. Forster

Bachelors’ Theses

In this brief paper I have made no attempt to completely cover the field of splenic investigation. In­ deed, some of the supposedly important functions of the spleen I have but mentioned, while to some of the doubtful and less important I have devoted whole chapters. This paper is to be considered complementary to work done in other phases of the spleen's activity by Mr. C. Fox and Mr. M. Gilbert here at Marquette in 1931. Their papers considered the spleen as to its comparative anatomy in the vertebrates, and its reservoir function and haemo­poietic activity.

The Surface Tension Of Some Oral Antiseptics, Edmund Abraham B. Dziennik

Bachelors’ Theses

The bio-chemist is now thouroughly (sic) interested in the theories and principles which underly physical Chemistry.

The results of these investigations are such, that they have brought about a change in the treatment of many diseases. It shall be the purpose of this paper to illustrate by experiment the importance of principles in oral antiseptics these theories and principles in oral antiseptics.

It shall be endeavoured to show that an oral antiseptic with a low surface tension is necessary for good ad­sorption.

That good adsorption is necessary in order to reach the bacteria that are in the deep crevices of …

Diet In Relation To The Teeth, Gordon Adolph Peterson

Bachelors’ Theses

It should, be fully appreciated, by all, that the process of enamel development in the teeth, their eruption and nutrition is a part of the development of the osseous system, and is affected by the same factors that influence bone growth. If a tooth is poorly made, the best that can be done for its preservation is frequent repair.

Diseases Of The Maxillary Sinus And Their Diagnosis, Carl A. Rohrbach

Bachelors’ Theses

Before discussing the maxillary sinus as to abnormal conditions, it would be best to first review the normal conditions and relationships.

The maxillary sinus occupies the body o:r the maxilla, and is situated lateral to the lower half of the nasal cavity, below the orbit, and in front or the intra-temporal fossa. lts average size is about 35 m.m. in height, 30 m.m. in antero-posterior depth, and 25 m.m. in mesio-distal depth. It is shaped like a pyramid. The deepest part is above the bicuspid and molar teeth, and its opening is on the medial wall. There are usually two …

Emergency Treatments In The Dental Office, Erwin J. Shields

Bachelors’ Theses

There is nothing so important in the presence of an accident or emergency as that someone with coolness and information enough should take command and begin to set things right. Forewarned is forearmed, so the acquaintance with the principles of emergency treatments beforehand makes one able to act with the greatest intelligence and promptness.

Can Pyorrhoea Be Cured?, Albert Richard Moeder

Bachelors’ Theses

Pyorrhoea is one of the best known and commonest diseases in civilization. A certain dental company is advertising that four out of five are infected by this disease. This company has been lenient in their accusation, as men who are ardent students of pyorrhoea state specifically that 90 per cent of the world’s population have it in some form or other or have symptoms which would eventually turn into pyorrhoea. Knowing this and knowing also the results and unnecessary pain and discomforts that are produced, every individual should respect and fear this disease accordingly.

Root Canal Fillings, Conrad Erwing Mietus

Bachelors’ Theses

The great problem facing the dental profession in obtaining successful root canal fillings is resolved into two problems:

1. That of removing the dental pulp aseptically and preparing aseptic areas for the reception of the filling material.

2. The selection and adaptation of materials which will effectively seal the apex without irritation to the underlying structures and the periapical tissues. The property of excluding moisture and bacteria must also be carefully considered.

Why such qualifications are necessary, for the success of a root filling, is self explanatory when the principal function of the dental pulp is considered. It is a …

Apicoectomy, Lloyd Otto Pilling

Bachelors’ Theses

The dental mind has for many years been applied to the study of prevention of dental diseases, and with certain limitations preventive dentistry is an accomplished fact in the present day. In spite of all the preventive dentistry that can be accomplished during the next twenty-five years, the profession at large will still be constantly occupied with curative and reparative work in the mouths of people who did not come under the influence of compulsory dentistry as children, or who were personally neglectful of their mouths and teeth after reaching adolescence.

Oral Sepsis In Its Relation To Systemic Diseases, W. F. Neuschafer

Bachelors’ Theses

The discovery of a relationship between ill health and defective teeth is by no means recent. It has received casual mention.in the older literature and has been independently recognized, perhaps for centuries, by practitioners of medicine and dentistry. The subject has not received the prominence it deserves, however, previous to the past decade. The earlier idea of such a relation was, however, limited largely to acute generalized infection from a wound, or surgical sepsis. Rarely a clinician had a wider conception of the possible effects of a local infection.

Porcelain Dental Art, Milton G. Teske

Bachelors’ Theses

Porcelain dental art is that art of which is meant the actual working of the material porcelain , from the mixing of the body and colors to the final baking. It involves the making by the dentist of partial crowns (including inlays) and entire crowns of porcelain. It is in some degree , a return to the old vogue, when the dentist made the porcelain teeth which he mounted for his patients, but the present practice is upon a much higher plane, in which the artistic is one of the principle features.

Elimination Of Pain In Cavity Preparation, Albert N. Weinzierl

Bachelors’ Theses

It is pain and fear of pain that vacates the dental chair. We may use every means at our command to gain our objective with nothing but mediocre success so long as the spectre of pain confronts the patient. In spite of the fact that people of today are more dental minded, the percentage of adequately cared for mouths is negligible. Various reasons have been offered as to why the dental profession fails to attract a larger and more earnest clientele. The lack of dental prestige, the lack of appreciation by the laity of the vital importance of mouth care …

Hemorrhage Following Extractions, Hyman Soref

Bachelors’ Theses

Hemorrhage, or the discharge of blood from a ruptured blood vessel during life, constitutes one of the normal results of every operation of tooth extraction. In the majority of cases its control is simple, as it ceases within a short time and need be no cause for alarm. In exceptional cases, however, the discharge may be prolonged and excessive and cause, not only great anxiety to the dentist, but also much mental stress and a condition of extreme physical exhaustion to the patient. In such cases it must be regarded as a very serious complication necessitating prompt and exceptional treatment. …

The Pulpless Tooth, John Saggio

Bachelors’ Theses

The pulpless tooth has been a topic of long discussion in the dental profession. From the maze of arguments that have been given certain concepts, have been accepted. To begin with, it is commonly believed that the periapical infection, if allowed to persist, will sooner or later lead to a breaking down of the patient’s general health. It is also generally accepted that, biologically, the pulpless tooth is not a dead tooth, in the sense that it becomes a foreign body. The greater part of the dental profession also believe that an exposed, non-infected pulp may be so treated that …

Pre-Natal Diet And Infant Feeding, Frank J. Ryan

Bachelors’ Theses

The times, when it was necessary for every expectant mother to sacrifice her teeth in order to supply her child with calcium, are past. Women today, who are pregnant, can live as normally and as healthily as those women who are not pregnant. This is made possible by the extensive research and investigation of diets and qualifications of foods.

Gold Inlay, Herbert A. Rotchford

Bachelors’ Theses

The gold inlay restoration has been used in dentistry for many years, the first ones being m~de by making a matrix of platinum or gold of about thirty-six to forty gauge in thickness, and then melting pure gold or solder of gold into the matrix. Many of these inlays are still doing good service after thirty to forty years of service. A great deal of skill and ingenuity was manifested in making many of these inlays, some of which were made hollow to afford better retention and to acquire a smaller amount of gold in the construction. In 1907 Dr. …

Alveolomerotomy In Relation To Bridge And Denture Restorations And Periodontoclasia, Raymond J. Stingle

Bachelors’ Theses

The progress made "by the dental practitioners in the past few years has led to the demand for a more exact method of ridge preparation by the oral surgeon. In the past, ’’alveolectomy” was the term applied to the operation of excising or cutting away any portion of the alveolar process, therefore "alveolomerotomy” has been suggested

The Nutrition Of The Enamel, Alvin Herbert Grunewald

Bachelors’ Theses

Probably no other subject has been so thoroughly discussed and has had such a small amount of actual experimental work done upon it, as the question of whether the enamel does or does not receive nourishment once it is fully formed...

Blood Calcium Determinations Of Arthritic Patients, M. Wilma Delgrande

Bachelors’ Theses

The determination of Calcium in the blood of Arthritic patients as an interesting problem was suggested by Doctor J. C. Metts, physician at the Sacred Heart Sanitarium from August 1927 to September 1930, and encouraged by Doctor F. W. Mackoy, present physician at the Sanitarium.

All the experimental work was carried on in the Laboratory of the Sacred Heart Sanitarium and all the specimens of blood were taken from cases present at the Sanitarium during the time of the writing of this thesis.

The Spleen As Part Of The Lymphatic And Vascular Systems, Clement Fox

Bachelors’ Theses

A great deal of work has been expended on the study of the functions of the spleen, and the results obtained have, for the most part, been disappointing. Unlike most other organs of the body, the spleen is not easily accessible to study either by means of its physiological effects or by chemical tests to determine its functional activity, and this is especially true in regard to any secretions it may pour out. Since the spleen has no external secretion, and no known internal secretion has as yet been definitely proved the results of its activity cannot easily be studied …

The Spleen Considered With Special Reference To Its Functions, Louis J. Schmidt

Bachelors’ Theses

In arranging this thesis an attempt has been made to show that by virtue of its embryology, anatomy and histology, the spleen is the better enabled to carry out its alleged functions. The discussion here presented is confined to a story of the functions of the mammalian spleen alone. The similarities in the reactions of the spleen in the various mammalia is quite evident. Experimentation and observations were carried out on the lower mammalia while only the reactions of the splenectomized humans could be observed.
