Histopathology Of Vibrio Alginolyticus Infection In Penaeus Monodon, Ted Tesaprateep, Lila Ruangpan, Kriengsag Saitanu, Tadashi Aoki, Makoto Endo Dec 1990

Histopathology Of Vibrio Alginolyticus Infection In Penaeus Monodon, Ted Tesaprateep, Lila Ruangpan, Kriengsag Saitanu, Tadashi Aoki, Makoto Endo

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Vibrio alginolyticus infection of Penaeus monodon was examined histopathologically. Hemocyte responses to the bacteria comprised hemocyte aggregation with necrotic core, infiltration of free hemocytes, and hemocyte encapsulation. However, there was melanization in association with the hemocyte encapsulation. The pronounced parenchymal lesions occurred in the gill, antennal gland, lymphoid organ, and hepatopancreas. In the most serious cases, the sick prawns exhibited septicemia and decreased in numbers of free hemocytes.

A Study Of Menstruation In Young Chinese Female Athletes, Choon-Khim Chong, May-Kuen Wong Dec 1990

A Study Of Menstruation In Young Chinese Female Athletes, Choon-Khim Chong, May-Kuen Wong

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

In order to investigate the problem of menstrual dysfunction among young female athletes in the Chinese population.152 female athletes participating in the 1988 Taiwan Area Athletic Meet (TAAM) were surveyed via questionnaire. Among the athletes who were younger than 18 years, those who were premenarchetrained had delayed menarche (13.7±1.1 years), which was statistically significant, when compared with the postmenarche-trained group (13.0±1.4 years)and the college students in general population(12.8±1.0 years) (p＜0.05 and p＜0.0001,respectively).For the problem of irregular menstrual pattern,athletes who were trained after menarche were studied. It was found that the percentage of athletes with regular menstrual cycle declined from 78% …

Differential Perception And Adolescent Drinking In The United States: Preliminary Considerations, John B. Harms, James L. Wolk Dec 1990

Differential Perception And Adolescent Drinking In The United States: Preliminary Considerations, John B. Harms, James L. Wolk

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper addresses adolescent drinking from a perspective very similar to Sutherland's differential association theory. Drinking occurs when positive perceptions of drinking outweigh or outnumber negative ones. Our research focuses on images of drinking communicated by rationalized sources organized specifically to shape perceptions of drinking. We call these organizations "agencies" and assess their impact on perceptions of drinking. It is our contention that the political economic context of the United States in which these agencies function is such that positive images of drinking outnumber and outweigh negative ones, and that this is an important factor contributing to adolescent drinking.

Retrospective Study Of Aujeszky's Disease In Pig In Thailand Using Immunohistochemical Method, Yuko Mutoh, Boonmee Sunyasootcharee, Susunu Tateyama, Ted Tesaprateep, Ryoji Yamaguchi, Achariya Sailasuta

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The paraffin embedded specimens of 35 Aujeszky's disease cases in pig were examined with Avidin-biotin-complex (ABC) method to detect Aujeszky's disease viral antigen. Eighty percent of the cases (28/35) gave positive reaction. Aujeszky's disease viral antigen was detected in cerebrum (17/28), cerebellum (12/17), medulla oblongata (7/8), spinal cord (4/4), and tonsils (5/11). It is concluded that ABC method is a sensitive, reliable and rather simple technique to diagnose Aujeszky's disease on paraffin embedded tissue section.

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Subjective semi-quantitative method is often used to evaluate the severity of spasticity in clinical condition. The purpose of this study is to develope an objective and quantitative model to evaluate the severity of spasticity for hemiplegic patients. We utilize Kin-Corn III isokinetic machine to evaluate 16 hemiplegic patients with 8 velocities from 5 to 210 degrees per second. The elbow joints of subjects are pulled when subjects totally relaxed and under no influence of gravity. The curve of resistance force was recorded and analyzed. We found 150 degrees per second is the best velocity for the evluation. And for elbow …

Using Spectrogram To Evaluate Dysarthric Treatment Effectiveness, Shu-Er Lee, Ma-Li Huang, Tao-Chang Hsu Dec 1990

Using Spectrogram To Evaluate Dysarthric Treatment Effectiveness, Shu-Er Lee, Ma-Li Huang, Tao-Chang Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Dysarthria may be defined as a group of speech disorders resulting from disturbance in muscular control due to damage in the central or peripheral nervous system. It encompasses coexisting neurogenic disorders of several or all the basic processes of speech - respiration, phonation, articulation, resonance and prosody. Although auditory discrimination can provide subjective evaluation of dysarthric speech before and after treatment, objective evaluation can help us to establish standards for clinical evaluation of acoustic charade- ristics.Six dysarthric and four normal control subjects were evaluated in this study. Sound spectrographic analysis was done of speech samples in vowel prolongation /ah/, oral …

Ankylosing Spondylitis Complicated With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Casereport, Guang-Seng Huang, Hsin-Ying Chen, Jyh-Chaur Tsau

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is not a rare disease in Taiwan. People with AS are prone to develop spinal fracture following trauma. The spine may become stiff and fragile as the effect of the disease process. This kind of spinal fractures most frequently affect cervical spine and result in severe neurological deficits. If it is not rational to stabilize the fractured spine surgically, a long period of immobilization may ensue prior to rehabilitation training. In addition, other manifestations of AS may further complicate the rehabilitation program. This casereport concerns the course and rehabilitation outcome of an AS patient complicated with traumatic …
